Iforu, where are you? Have I been scammed!?

[Le_Stig]

take it as a tuition fee

 

That's a good one Reminds me of MJ...

[Zuoom]

Try posting in celicasg.org, someone might know his contact.

 

saw that thread.

 

have forwarded it to the guy involved.

 

hopefully he reads it and resolve this personal issue out.

Still no package. Thursday, October 21, 2010.

 

Lol.

 

Hence brings me back to my original sentence,

 

Why waste your time after wasting your money?

 

Meaning if you know you've been scammed, why bother losing sleep over it and all sorts of emotional distress?

It's more of a get on with life and take it as a lesson learnt kind of statement.

 

Have to admit it seems rather harsh now that I look at it.

Hope my elaboration suffices.

 

 

It's easy to say it when your not involved....and when it's not your money. But I can almost bet you, if it was the other way around...and it was that you were involved. You would probably think differently.

 

The whole thing about being scammed. I'm not sure if I was scammed or not, just he hasn't been responding and dissapeared has left me to think this. And to this date I still have no package.

 

The whole thing about "lessoned learned" how could you even say that? It was an online transaction..no different than you purchasing something from an online vendor...or purchasing something on ebay. Or even making an online order to send your loved one flowers..... It's no different. So like I said..when its not your money, and when your not in the hole. It's easy to tell someone to move on and get on with life, but when its your money, its a different story.

November 5th and still nothing..........

[Blasian]

hmmmmmmmmm

[Hookwai]

Patient wait abit longer.

[Blasian]

I see he removed the image I posted about the custco bar.

[Blasian]

I also think he's decided to ditch his username 'iforu' and created a new name.

Reason is, I sent him a private message as well as a text message regarding the custco bar. The very next day...today, I viewed and the image has been deleted from his photobucket. Looks like he's still lurking around here.

[Blasian]

Zuoom and iforu ip's match.

Possibility they are the same person...... hmmmmmmm.

[Blasian]

Apparently he's under another username..... both came up to matching registering ip addresses and posting ip addresses on newcelica.org forum.

 

iforu = Zuoom

 

Messaged Zuoom but got the cold shoulder. Go figure.

Today is December and I still haven't got the item I paid $3,600 for.

 

Looks like this is a lesson learned. Never buy from a member over seas, no matter what kind of proof they show you. Username in pictures, and all requests met. DONT DO IT!!!!!!!! It's better to deal within the same country, or better yet state that you live in. This gives honest people who actually try and sell over seas a bad rep.

[Kyrios]

Bro which state are you from? I emphathise with you but can assure you not all of us behave like that. You my see if this link helps against such irresponsible seller.

Appreciate the link.

 

Although I do understand not EVERYONE! Is like that .... I was stating a horror story like this will put a damper on people who wish to purchase over the seas items for high prices. I defiantly won't go out of my way in purchasing something over seas unless it's on ebay and I'm buying a cheap $2.99 cell phone case with a car charger. But $3,600 in car parts? Ehh I'll stay state side or even country side before I do that. Won't matter if you put my username and your username on a piece of paper.

 

At this point I purchased my item in something like Aug!?!?! It's not December. Seller DISSAPEARED (I know he still goes on here though, because I recieved an weird item from him in the mail. No return address, just my address... and I posted the pictures, the very next day he removed it from his photobucket. So I know he's reading, and lurking around these boards. Couldn't of been just a coincidence.) Nonetheless, It's december and I haven't got anything yet. I've been ripped off by a punk.

 

Lesson learned.

 

I wont ever do this again! For those reading. Take precautions of the IF, AND'S, and BUT'S.

 

Appreciate the link, once again.

[HARDGAYHOOOO]

US$3,600 is hard earned money to some. For his case, it is not wrong for the buyer to find justice or at least get the seller to reply and respond to resolve the issue. It is easy to sit at the sideline and comment. Also, are you implying "puilice" can't do anything for him? Then i wonder what they "cannot" do for him.

True however buyers should exercise extra caution when making purchases online ESP dealing with large Amt of money??? The deal may seems attracting but comparing the risk factors , one have to decide for himself as whether to finalise the deal.

[Copen]

Nothing can be done to nap this scammer?

I did....

I got his phone number... we texted each other

I got pictures of everything I requested for. If I asked to see something he took the picture.. we talked For several months. What other precautions should I have taken??

[Donut]

take it as lesson learnt.

 

never buy anything that you cannot afford to lose the $$, if something happens.

 

that's the risk of online shopping. as a buyer, u are at mercy of seller, courier company and both countries' customs. that's alot of levels to go through.

 

how did u pay anyway? paypal? For paypal, you are protected as a buyer.

[Blasian]

You are protected for only a few months. I already contacted paypal And there is nothing They can do.

Obviously I can afford the loss....but whos gonna let go on losing money and say "oh well"

..no right? Its almost been like 8 months..I dont knkw I lost count.
