BEWARE OF THIS SCAMMER: BABY_WHEEL_TECH

« on: September 30, 2008, 11:17:58 PM »

This guy sold me a set of wheels thru NSxB. Because of the price(should have known something wasn't right) I got suckered into paying. Luckily(i thought) thru PAYPAL. After 1 month of waiting thru his petty excuses of not getting the wheels shipped, I finally disputed & after 2 weeks escalated to a claim with PAYPAL. They actually ruled to my favor, unfortunately, they can't access this scammer's account which probably he closed already. Since i used my CC thru PAYPAL, i got partial refund but the funds debited from my PAYPAL account is "almost impossible" (according to PAYPAL guys) to recover & credited to me. So this warning goes out to everyone...

detective

I have his personal info, if anyone's interested, just PM me...

Again, I'm sorry I didn't see your PM until now & didn't see this topic until I went looking for the original topic posted by BABY_WHEEL_TECH. I'm also sorry this happened to you. I thought if you used a credit card through PayPal, it was easier to do a chargeback for the full amount. I checked Consumerist.com for more info, but came up empty.

Anyhow, A good rule of thumb is to ask the person to take a pic of the item for sale w/ a sign w/ their NSxB username in front of it. Then, at least, you know they have the item.

(check my PM for more)

THANKS for the help Eric!!! I actually got back part of the cash since I paid thru CC. Unfortunately, the funds I had in the PAYPAL account was the amount unrecovered. I'm thinking PAYPAL could only recover it as long as the account is still active. He actually posted the pics of the wheels on the forum board & was communicating OK. I gave him the benefit of the doubt even though it was taking too long for him to ship since I understand the hassle of shipping wheels. SUCKS really but all's good, learned my lesson the hard way... Lucky I paid thru PAYPAL & not thru moneygram or western union as he suggested!
