Hello, everybody.

I noticed the following ebay seller ladyjhos5_sell:

http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZladyjhos5_sell

I think this is a fake account for the scammer Sofmap.hk aka Princess.velvet.

Not only is it a suspicious ebay account from Hong Kong with Zero feedback selling exactly the same type of items that Sofmap.hk and Princess.velvet sell, but this seller's items descriptions are almost verbatim to the same format princess.velvet used to use. Beware.

Thanks for the heads up. If the prices for some of these items stay that low I may be tempted to try my luck anyway.

I just about 99% sure that they are the same ebayer; I sold them a CAW system a few months ago (before this drama began) & it is now for sale via auction.

If my memory serves me right, didn't they screw over the person who dropped $3500+ on the AES collection?

Proceed with caution,

When did they start doing that? I bought my MS1 from them awhile ago and it was legit and didn't wait very long either.

I almost bid on the ST-V, but chickened out at the last minute. Oh well. If anyone bought anything please report back so I know whether to sigh in relief or face palm for missing a deal.

I sent the guy an email about that. I asked if it was purchased from Neotropolis and this was his response:

think so, I saw his auction. I got this set from a seller in Hong Kong who came in and traded some stuffs with me.

Makes me wonder. I noticed he has started getting feedback from his first round of sales. Of course, he could just be building feedback so he can pull a 3500 dollar scam like the AES collection.

I would be very careful in this situation. I hate ratting out a buyer/seller, but if what they did was true; it's downright terrible. It's not even worth the worry....

Hi, yes, be carefull!!

I was one of the victim of softmap.hk (boxed Mahjong Controller:crying:) and if I managed to get my money back (paypal dispute):loco:, I know the person who won the big AES collection $3500 auction and I can tell you that he unfortunately still hasn't manage to be refunded...:oh_no::(:mad_2:

So, if I were you, I wouldn't try to buy to such a seller.;)
