Hey everyone,
Unfortunately, I was tricked and robbed by TheDingy in our "deal" for a Dell U3014 monitor: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1798821
Our deal was $350 plus a GTX760 for a U3014 that was supposed to be shipped to my address directly from Dell as part of an advance replacement. See, he told me he has a U3014 that needs a replacement and he has advance replacement plan with Dell. We talked on the phone, and he sounded like a late(?) mid-age guy with a convincing tone. Such a con artist...
I sent the money on Feb. 17, and he has been toying with me ever since. First, he said he put in the order and Dell is processing it. Then, he came back by saying he accidentally put in the order for a UP3214Q and that I may receive it any day. He even said he put my apartment number wrong and made me go and talk to my neighbor! In the meantime, we talked on the phone several times, so although I had been growing increasingly nervous about the whole ordeal but I couldn't imagine a person lying this intricately for a mere $350.
Days later, no package showing, I insisted that he put in the U3014 order already. Apparently, he was using the UP3214Q lie to keep me waiting. Two days ago, he said he put in the order for U3014 but then went silent. After my emails, he called me today and he started saying things like someone at my address has been doing fraud with Dell monitors, whatever that means! Yup, I had finally realized that I had been conned all along. I kindly asked that he refunds me my money, saying that it's not the right thing to do to rob an honest family man off his hard-earned money. He hung up on me saying he will refund, but he did not respond back to my emails kindly asking that he does the right thing.
My stupidity was that I sent the money as PP gift to get a better deal. DON"T DO IT EVER! I know, I know it's grossly stupid of me and I'll remember this all my life. I'm out of $350 off my hard-earned money, the money I could spend for my two little boys...
The main reason I took the time to write this down is to make sure that nobody ever does business with TheDingy. I have his real name, address and phone number but I'm not gonna put it publicly here. He can still make it right by refunding my money in full. I'd like to keep the door open for him to respond here, maybe explain his side of the story and make things right. Until then, please do yourself a favor and stay away from TheDingy.
I let him know that I'm putting this thread up. If he still doesn't respond, I'll go to the police. I told him that too, and I'm not bluffing. I will not let this go. All the PM, email, and phone conversations should be more than sufficient to charge him with fraud. As I said, I have his info, so he should be easy to locate...
