His tweet is currently up to 300k+ views despite responding to every single reply (as of this post) I can not copy a link to it, due to being blocked. But there is a backup on this thread, and his account is: https://x.com/MigSwitch

This account is a known scammer, that not only takes 4+ months to ship your product (if at all) if you never receive said product, he will gaslight you and block. leaving you without a MIG or your refund

HIs shady dealing go way past this. On April 26th https://themigflash.store/ started an email campaign saying that they received a switch 2 system in hand. With a new email each week for the next month up until release week. This is not only false advertising but also a straight lie! He did not have a system over a month in advance. Hence his fake video posted today with just the MIG and a switch 2. He knows it and these Spanish content creators are eating it up. All while lining dudes pockets

Check out the first 30 or so pages of my stickied flashcart thread. Its full of complaints that back up what I am saying. https://gbatemp.net/threads/the-swi...switch-unlockswitch-etc.651852/#post-10384689

There used to be a mig switch sub reddit as well. Full of him talking to customers like shit, and calling them liars to their face. Up until he deleted his account. It was the same name as his twitter handle. If there is a way to pull archives.


Some other shady dealing this guy did? Have you ever wondered why there are barely any US competitors? That is because he sent in false claims to get their shops/domains shut down by their domain providers. This dude will do anything to steer the public wrong, and make a quick buck. Legal or not. He doesn't care because no one is holding him accountable.

Here is a screenshot of the email proving his false switch 2 claims. and a backup of his "hit tweet" before he deletes it like he always does. Notice how he doesn't actually show anything?

He got community noted! Here is a screenshot before he deletes the post:

So... you expect organized criminals to be honest? 🤣
He can do this without being a criminal

Or as much of a criminal as being a pirate is in general..He is choosing to not deliver product and say anything to make a sale

There have been countless other flashcart sellers that didn’t have this issue. GBAtemp even partnered with one for a number of years

I take it you think it’s okay that people are openly getting scammed tho. That’s nice

I reported his domain to the company he registered it from as well since he is breaking their ToS

So I'm pretty sure this is the same guy who runs migswitchunited, or at least his friend, seeing as it's based in the next town over in Illinois and both the storefront are incredibly similar.

I ordered a mig from migswitchunited because of the 24hr shipping, a week went by with no update, wrote an email, got a generic "it'll ship out in another week or so". 2 more weeks go by, nothing. Wrote another email, days go by, no reply. Looks I'm getting scammed so I dispute the charge with my bank, and write to the Russian guys who make the mig flash saying what migswitchunited, that they have listed on their site as a distributor, is doing.

They are nothing but helpful. Big shout out to them, seriously. They reply in a couple hours, reach out to migswitchunited, they assumed my order number just got lost and when I showed them that migswitchunited DID have my order because they had already had replied to my email, they said something was wrong, and got in contact again. I have to assumed with a less carefree tone

Next day all of a sudden I've got a reply from migswitchunited, a tracking number, and him swearing it's gonna ship out next week. I'm still waiting for it to arrive. In the meantime my bank gave me my money back and I found someone locally selling a migswitch.

The kid who runs migswitchunited is jayden pauley, based on the phone number listed for the website.

It’s been over a year. He got outtee from the actual MiG site official distributor list within a month

Something else clearly has to be done or he’s going to keep scamming. Scumbags don’t get a free pass at life
 
I'm glad there is a post for this, I have also been scammed by the same distributor. They sent me a non-functioning card then asked me to send it back so they could send another one. Months go by with no response, yet their annoying spam emails about the Switch 2 cards get sent.

Like someone already said, migswitchunited and migflashstore have similar websites so they are probably run by the same scammer(s). Not sure if I can report as I'd already made a ticket with my gift card company (used a gift card to buy it) and the ticket was resolved.

Edit: Currently on the FTC website to report my incident, I suggest others do the same.

Are you seriously reporting to the FTC about Russian/Chinese scammers? Just do a chargeback and move on.
