CLO... reminding one and all how this man scammed me.

Has anyone dealt with him? For that matter, has anyone been in touch with him lately? I can see he's made good deals here, but it would appear that this is not my case... Let's just say I will wait a bit longer to make a final judgement on the man.


edit: check the last post. this is just an FYI and not much else, but I'd still be interested in locating the bugger down.

I hope everything works out for the better, Devil. Maybe he needs a little more time? Whatever the case may be, I wish you the best of luck. :crying:

thanks ;) you :buttrock: in my book.
and what you advice are my exact sentiments. I will not jump the gun, its more a case of very slow communications. but I have been on that end, and I owe it to those who have been patient with me (cLo could be included in this comment), to be very patient now.

sorry for the bump but things haven't been resolved with this guy - at all..
below is something I posted some 3 months ago. he has dissappeared from the face of the earth, which leads me to think that he has taken up another alias possibly and could well be here or at snk-capcom (he was 'into' the scene). I'm not looking to get my stuff back at this time, but if someone knows anything about him (I think his name is Carlos Brown, I can't remember. his ebay infohttp://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=blueeyeswhitedragon2500 - I have written to him via ebay alot of times with no responce - I'm certain his operationg through another alias)
please let me know. I'm still pissed off and I don't want him to get off scott free.
I'd appretiate anyone who has dealt with him to contact me privately with his personal info which I would then give to Bulletnyourass (I would not expose you for doing so but would be extremely greatful).

nothing more - I'm not looking for my stuff back as I've already said - a long time has passed - but all scammers must be accounted for and held to account.

fuck this. cLo this is bullshit. Don't deal with this cat.

here's the lowdown.

about some 8 months ago I answered one of this guy's wanted threads - he was offering an xbox in exchange for a neo geo aes unit.
we sorted out a deal and out of courtesy, I offered to ship first (cost me 80 dollars aprox to ship the unit, controller, and 2 games by air). He recieved the unit, was a bit unhappy about the packing (must have been one of my off days as I pack pretty well), and even more so due to the AV cable being missing :emb:


So as not to waste anymore time, I bought one on ebay and had it sent to the man. This was on my back, no problems there - I just wanted to make this as smooth as possible.

So he tries out the unit and sais its defective and that he's shipping it back - I say clean it a little that it works fine - he does and is happy. Tells me he will ship the XBOX.

I get a message a short time later saying he shipped - BY FUCKING SURFACE!! because it was going to cost him too much otherwise - this was without consulting me at all. complete fucking bullshit - uninsured without tracking number.
But I bite my lip and go along with it - not much choice in the matter. All this was carried out with much respect by the way.

So I wait. And I wait, and I wait some more and nothing, and PM him telling him this.

During the wait this had already taken place:
http://www.neo-geo.com/forums/showthread.php?t=87007
yup, the chump had sold the neo geo unit I sent him while I was still out of pocket and out of console.

He gets back to me on the PM and sais I might be scamming him - starts a thread up asking members about me and comes back with an apology for the acusations.
Asks me what I want to do, I say send me some money - 50% of what the neo geo cost plus shipping - so we agreed on shitty 125 dollars (not 50% but ok). That was almost 7 months ago.

Since then he stopped replying my PMs so I hunted him down and sent him a message via ebay while he was auctioning off some stuff - the reply was swift:



Time passed and no answer so I wrote back saying that I would be wanting my money asap as I had been scammed recently and was out of patience. He rudely replied that he was sick of my insistence and that he had waited over a month for his stuff and I should return the courtesy - so I apologised (because I know what its like to struggle, even though he was clearly in the wrong).

Wrote again to him a couple of weeks later - he said he was still out of work and hadn't forgotten about me.

That was a month ago - this past week I have written to him like 5 times. No answer. Said to pay me back in installments. no answer. told him I'd reduce his fucking debt. no answer. told him to write back confirming that he was hard up, that I'd be fine. no answer.

Its been 7 months since he got my stuff. I haven't recieved shit. All I got is hot air, excuses, and alot of empty fucking promises. The package cost me almost 300 dollars in total. I wasn't even going to be able to hold the XBOX as I was strapped for cash and would have to sell it immediately.

Just look over the different points of this last post
- the fucker ships by surface mail without even telling me, doesn't insure has no tracking number, nothing.
- sells the neo geo I sent him before I recieved anything (he simply assumed I had recieved the XBOX. I don't think so)
- Is way rude, stops answering my messages, doesn't pay up. 7 MOTHERFUCKING MONTHS DOWN THE LINE!!!! I wasn't rude to this bitch once.

blueeyeswhitedragon2500 is his name on ebay - has a perfect score of 60 - done some decent deals here on the site - SCAMMED ME QUITE BADLY. Funny to think someone on this site bought my neo geo unit though I never even fucking sold it.

I'm so sick of this shit, all this time I've just been as nice as I could be and this is what I get. Thanks for nothing Carlos.
I will be posting up his adress in due course - such are the policies for scammers nay?
