I have now come to the conclusion, today, that I too belong in this story. I sent him $500 as well (not to mention the $46 fee from WU, and the $15 fee from the CC). This happened last week for me. Same story as the first post, was told he had to go on a business trip.

/kick thyself
Holy shit - how many people did he get?

This guy needs to burn.
 
Anyone who has been scammed by this guy, please email me : [email protected]

I'm getting a list of people scammed and exchanging his contact infos. I've already got a buddy on the case and filed a complaint with the FBI fraud investigation department.
 
I filed a complaint with the Internet Fraud Complaint Center (run by the FBI). I also called my credit card company, and they said I'd have to wait 30 days to ensure non-delivery of the goods. After the 30 days are up, they'll work on getting me my money back.

I agree, this guy definitely needs to burn. I bet you he's reading these forums anonymously as we speak and laughing at us. Bastard...

Wouldn't it be slightly suspicious when a guy walks up to Western Union and picks up several money transfers, each for $500, from several different people at the same time? I think it should have been Western Union's duty to ask him what all the transfers were for.

I knew I should have insisted we use an escrow service... :mad:

I second that. I can't believe I actually fell for something like this. It was the pictures that sealed the deal for me.

Yeah the Pics even made me want it more.. And Looked legit.. :(
 
If everyone could email me or PM me those MTCN numbers, I'm going to contact Western Union and the FBI with them. Maybe after they see that $2000+ has gone through their service for fraudulent purposes, they'll want to help out... if not, it'll be more evidence for the police to use.

This guy is fucking with the wrong people :mad:

You Guys Call the POlice in his area already?
 
I know this really sucks, but please don't post comments about violence. We can't allow it and I'll have to delete posts.

Don't worry - I wouldn't resort to violence over money, but this guy deserves to be thrown into prison.

Any News?

ANy luck with getting money back? or monitor?
Well, I'm pretty sure none of us are going to get the monitor. He did offer it to over 5 people so far, so unless he has 5 of them sitting in his basement, I doubt any of us are going to get anything. We just want our money back!
 
Eeesh, he scammed more than I expected. I almost fell for it, but 3 things rang an alarm:
1- He never made any posts on this forum
2- His join date
3- Western Union's warning that they don't offer insurrance over the money (it's on the webpage)

He also gave me the "I'm going on a business trip" alibi.
Anyhoo, I'm wishing you all good luck on this affair and do hope that you do get your hands on him and have him face justice.

Remember: Cover your asses first, last and at all times, especially on the internet.
People should shop with the "I'd rather pay 2% more and have peace of mind" philosophy over the "best deal possible" one.
 
Just an update, I contacted one of the Troll Hunters and I have a personal friend who owes me favors in that area doing some research for me.

And since David's watching - I hope he looks out for some cars following him around. Only kidding, of course.

The problem with the Internet is you never know who you'll come across.

Found another victim.. :rolleyes: :mad:
 
Good luck to all of you guys, hope someone can catch this bastard.

But seriously I find it hard to trust anyone unless:
It's an established retailer with a reputation.
It's an ebay power seller with a few thousand positive feedbacks.
It's the manufacturer.

Even buying from a veteran [H] member with a good reputation seems too risky in my opinion. You never know what's going to happen.

Good luck again.
 
I've contacted another person that was scammed on AT forums. They will be contacting Legends and/or Rex and supposedly has more info on this jerk.
 
So what is the grand total of all the victims here? This is one of the biggest scams pulled on [H]

I count roughly seven. So, assuming each person sent this guy $500, he made close to $3,500 in total.

I have to give him credit, he sure knows what he's doing. Too bad he's going to get caught.

I don't know about getting caught... Time passes and he's still walking.

I second that. Anyone figured anything new out? My credit card company is going to be refunding my money on the 6th of July so I'm in the clear, but I'm worried about other people who may have paid by cash... Rex, any new leads? Have you spoken with Western Union yet?
 
Ive ask western union to get access of security footage from when the my transfer was been recieved over at the states. They say they looking into it.
also contacted the local authority. They say they lookin into it. So i guess ill just let them do the work.

just dont know y Dell dont have 2405 here. wouldnt hav all this trouble. wastin my time....
 
SUCCESS!

I checked my credit card statement online and Western Union has credited me for the full amount that I lost! Does anyone else have a similar credit on their account? Looks like someone or something managed to get through to them... If it was someone from here, thanks a lot!

Was it Western Union that actually credited you, or your CC company?

It was Western Union themselves. At least, that's what showed up on my statement.
 
Wow..Lk Mary - Longwood you say? I live 10 miles from there..whats his addy?
 
hook kchip with the addy
:)
only if you promise to take pictures of the guy, i want to see what he looks like.
f'in troll menkins
 
Keep it up...I almost got scammed out of $3500 sending a complete Apple system and LCD by getting fooled by a really well done Cashiers Check..

Guy was up in Maine.. but with UPS's co-op I was able to redirect the packages back to me and use them with the local authorities to catch the guy..

Turned out he scammed a whole bunch of people on ebay in about a 2 week time period..

Needless to say the DA up in Maine was very dilligent and the guy is now rotting in jail for 7 years for mail fraud!!

So persistance does pay off...

Hope everyone gets their money back.
 
He deserves a lot of things, most of which BBB would have to delete, but can you PM me the # i can just annoy him with speed dial and free phone service (friends dad works for at&t).
 
I have been scammed by this guy as well, calling himself, dave richter, [email protected]
AKA FUSIONROCK....lil punk azz cost me 520 bucks for a video card I didnt get...I am tryin to track this guy and if he gets aressted I would be more than overjoyed, cuz I now cannot afford a video card for my new comp for at least a month...so I cant use that comp for a month....which really kills me man...cuz I aint rich, I am sooo the opposite...
