Beware of Scams

So as a bunch of you know, I was had by the user emoo55, who was supposed to sell me a Wii but ran away with my cash. Thankfully, I paid with PayPal and have filed a dispute claim against him, however he's refusing to respond which will mean PayPal will decide in my favour anyways (I mean, why wouldn't they, he didn't sell me his Wii like he agreed to and just ran off with my money), so if anyone would like to harass him about how much of an ass he is for scamming a fellow 'temper, his email address is: [email protected]
and the GBAtemp username is (as mentioned): emoo55

Feel free to go nuts; spam him, torture him, I don't care. He stole money from me that I will get back regardless, but morons like this need to be made an example of. You don't advertise something for sale, take money, and disappear. That's theft, and believe me I am more than happy taking his fraudulence to the police.

My friend is shopping for a PSP so I can mod it. He found one online for about $33USD, and while it sounded like an incredibly swell deal, it turns out it was just for the entertainment pack, no system at all--despite the fact it has the system specs and a stock picture of the system.

Remember that people have bought $600 N64 and PS2 boxes, so keep your money safe this holiday~[/quote]
I saw a xbox 360 on ebay once going at $2000, well, on a TV show, but they showed eBay. :P It sold for around 2000 though, as I said, pretty sad.

Damn I knew we shouldn't of allowed him to sell shit on the board.
He smelled a bit fishy after I saw him posting in the Trading Forum.

Sorry that you've got to go through all that trouble to get your cash back, especially close to Christmas time yo.
Damn. :/

He'd been here for two years; you figured you could trust him.
Next time tell him to send you the damn Wii first, you've been here longer and have a greater number of trust among Tempers and note a greater a number of posts.

When it comes to the end of it, only deal with those you fully trust. The internet is full of scams and liars - be careful.

Well you would not hear from me again either if you offered me 50$ for a modded Wii.
