Beware this ripoff artist
« on: November 23, 2007, 10:50:00 AM »
Hi,

Firstly to the mods: If this is considered a personal attack I apologise, but people need to know about this person.

Paradox is a total scam artist.

As some of you may know, I ordered a keyboard and floppy from him off eBay about 3 months back now. The keyboard and floppy were sold as "mint condition". Today I finally received the keyboard and floppy.

The keyboard is the most dirty / yellow / disgusting A1200 keyboard I've ever seen. It looks like its been in a smoking room for the last five years and then been given a dirt bath.

The floppy is in a similar condition and on top of that does not read discs.

I have mailed this ar**hole and demanded a full refund. If I do not receive this refund, I will initiate a chargeback.

Please, for you own safety DO NOT BUY ANYTHING from Paradox / AlienTek. I think its unbelievable that he was complaining about doomy! The shear arrogance!

I think everyone hates him now to be honest. We all think hes that Doomy guy and I especially dislike him for bad mouthing moto but he had not done / said bugger all to paradox.
I could trust that guy about as far as I could throw him. Sorry dude but it looks bleak if that's his attitude.

How come everyone is so sure he was the guy that created all the accounts to badmouth Moto and Wayne? If that was proven he'd be banned now, wouldn't he? AFAIK he's still here.

This has nothing to with ripping people like Sweetlilmre off, which is worth a ban in itself IMHO, but still...

Just a thought. I am sure we all have some hardware laying around we are not using, and thinking about getting rid off.
How about a thread with stuff for sale, condition and pictures? Then if some thief starts to post, moderators simply deletes the posting.
There would be no E-Bay fees, Doomy fees, and I think we can trust each other.

I couldn't possibly sell knowing I'm ripping someone off. I'd be worried sick.

Well paradox was getting a grilling off me and moto.  Then paradox called moto gay.  I stuck up for moto, and then hey presto suddenly a new account called "dikinbum" was posting the most chilidsh dribble about me, moto and wayne.  Sorry I dont believe in coincidences that strong.
