Shawn Freitag: there is only one problem..
Ruke Robert: what?
Shawn Freitag: You are a pathetic piece of . You don't have any iPods or Xboxs. I don't think that all of the people in your whole hole country can get enough funds together to buy 1 Xbox. You make me sick. Why don't you get a job? By the way, there is a new agency around that is making a visit to several countries and taking care of some ?loose ends?. And by that I mean by castration (removal of the testicles) of all the scammers out there. I have submitted your info to them. I'm not sure if they will make it to you but I'd watch your balls if I were you. And you should probably lie low for a while. Have a nice day dipshit!
Shawn Freitag:off

haha...thanks for ur info about this twat

Yup! that it!
Diaboaudio
wtg!!! :-)

If there is an address you send these names to for casteration. I would like to have it. Send me an email if you would Please!!!!!!!!

Some additional info:

As some of you know, Paypal used outside of Ebay is not safe. I have spoken with Paypal several times and they offer little (no) protection on purchases outside of Ebay. So be careful! This guy accepts Paypal. His Paypal ID is adekunleok@hotmail.co.uk.

Ah! I just did a deal with this guy! He sent me completely different payment information, he told me to send to Ubietu something-rather. Alibaba should just throw out all Nigerians on their site. Any tips on how I could get my money back from this obvious scammer?

Sorry to hear that! Did you pay via Western Union? If so, I am sorry to say that you may be SOL. It is alomost impossible to get your money back when you send it via Western Union. Especially if it is to Nigeria.

Someone should wait by the Western Union locations in Nigeria (I'm sure there aren't too many of them) and arrest/beat every Nigerian who accepts more than $300. I'm sure they scammed sombody...

What's weird is for proof he sent me a tracking number. It said Item Description : Five Xbox 360s. It was shipping to a man in Florida, so I thought hey it must be alright. It was from a strange shipping company though, I will try and find it.

Abrams....before you go any further....RED LIGHT COMES ON....

What carrier? Call the carrier with the tracking number and verify it for real also inquire about the actual and physical weight. Sounds too good to be true...

Just talked to Ruke. He made up some bull that the shipping service is making him send 4 extra units to me and I have to pay but he won't send me a shipping reciept or tracking number to verify. Wow.

I'm sure you know already but DON'T PAY HIM!!! Believe me, you have been robbed by this .This is a pretty common scam that these idoits are pulling. He just wants to take more of your money, what an a$$hole! I'm sorry this happened to you, . How much are you into him for if you don't mind me asking?

Only 250, but I have gotten scammed previously many times. I would say in total I've lost over 5,000 dollars. So much for starting up my business.
