infamouskid scam, many ppl losing out on money

[raita01]

many people, including me have been scammed by infamouskid. couple months back, he organized a couple of group buys for arcade parts, charging a little service fee on up of the price of parts and various kits.

took a couple months to arrive, some people got their kits. i myself got MOST of my kit, i was missing a wire harness. many other people are missing larger amounts of money, some in the hundreds. these people say they've tried to contact brian javier (infamouskid) through phone and email, but say he's ignoring their calls or telling them he's already shipped their orders or is about to. i gave up after the long wait of just even getting my partial shipment and moved on.

SRK thread of the group buy: http://forums.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=184056&page=38

take what you will from that thread, maybe now he'll stop ignoring these people and actually look, since he trolls these forums a lot more than SRK

[infamouskid]

first off those all packages were shipped.
second i answer my phone after hours since i have a life.
and last only 2 ppl have reported not receiving their packages those 2 ppl are being dealt with. 1 of those 2 is a potential scammer himself since i already sent the same package out 2 times yet he claims nothing has still arrived. and i have no clue who you are and i have no record of ever selling to you under that username.

there's your records

its good that you FINALLY, after months, decide to reply to the srk'ers though after i call you out

[infamouskid]

actually there is months of email and pm history clearly showing i am responding to those same buyers you speak off. actually there is also proof of me attempting contact with one of them for months which in the end lead to me putting a 30 day hold policy.

you can go on srk and read for yourself. as for the wiring harness it was sent via regular mail. if you did not get it your options are to have another one shipped at your expense or a credit towards your next order. those policies are also clearly stated in the first post of the srk thread.

your welcome.

i dont care about hte wiring harness anymore, its like 5bucks

its the principle that matters to me. these other guys who are losin out on big bucks are trying to contact you but say you keep ignoring them, not even showing up on your own thread for almost 2 months. whos to know who's lying. but it seems like to me many ppl are missin out vs 1 guy who's already got his money upfront on day 1

like i said. the contact attempts and emails and pm's are all logged.
tracking info was supplied. those individuals are free to attempt a dispute but I as a seller fulfilled my part and responded and attempted several times contact.
and those guys who say i am not contacting them are full of it. go and ask them to post email records and look at the response dates. all within 24 - 48 hours. i myself will be professional about this... i stated my answers and provided what was needed and i will now stick to my policies which were stated. calling me a scammer is still far from the truth since orders were indeed filled.

if you want, i can show you my RFD PM's and Email responses.. i sent you an email on Aug 3rd or something and i emailed you like twice a week until like last week and you never replied to any of them until i started PM'ing you on RFD which was two weeks ago, and then you started dodging me again... =|

I've been very patient Brian, I have never even called you about this matter because i hope your intentions are clean. I will send you out the original email right now requesting a refund, since i payed you through EMT.

PS. your email doesnt work? i tried sending two emails just now and i got two failures.. =/

[Spampy]

Not worth it IMO to do a grup buy on Arcade parts, exactly for this reason.

They're not exactly big ticket items and EVEN less worthwhile if there's an *up front* service fee...

I'm happily ordering my parts from, LL, Tek and other arcade parts suppliers without any problems...

[psycho3]

Brian.
Check your PM.
Package is still not delivered.

anyone get a PM back or their problem resolved? i've emailed him and PM'ed him twice (thursday/sat) and i haven't gotten a response.. he's logged in but hasn't bothered to read my PMs.

[cheepino]

Omg never buy from him again

[psycho3]

Brian.
Man... this is taking waaaay too long.
You said missing parts will be shipped out on Thursday Sept 10, and would send me an UPS tracking number.
After 3 PMs, 3 Emails, 2 Phone Msg, you don't even send me an update???
You've been replying to RFD threads, but don't have time to check PM?

[CrimsonGuardian]

This guy's clearly a scammer.. Everyone who bought from this kid, throw him some negative feedback..

JAC, we need you to pull the info up on this scammer..

[UberN00b]

i just pm'ed him, ill give him a call later regarding my refund. I doubt hes a scammer, he's had alot of clean transactions with many. I called him two days ago and he said he would do up a refund that night... But i didn't see anything, i hope his intentions were that he sent it to the wrong email or something.. =| look up, give him the benefit of the doubt. I'm quite an optimistic and patient guy, but i really need my refund money to help pay some of my tuition i have outstanding.. haha

[psycho3]

I hope his intention is good.
It's just that he promised several times that he would ship my item, but no follow up after that.
I did get the partial shipment from him few months back.
and I know most of people in the group buy has received the goods.
I just don't understand why he is not replying to threads & pms. I've just got the e-mail 'read' receipt, but still has not heard anything yet.
Hope he replies with the UPS tracking number that he promised.

I don't smell scammer, just lazy and poor business practices. There should be a return address on the parcels he's shipped.

He just sent me a message. He's swamped with stuff involving TIFF since he's a club promoter afterall which i can understand. I think everything will be clear by the end of the week. :)

he says if anyone needs to talk to him, hes available at 1230am EST - 3am EST.

I can't believe you are willing to call somebody a scammer over 5 bucks... says alot about you.

[mcg]

^ like he said, it's the principle...

I guess what you said says a lot about you too.

[psycho3]

It doesn't matter how much.
I'm still waiting for my stuff that is over $100.

Did anyone get refund or shipment yet?
I've got a PM from Infamouskid that he shipped out item last thursday, but he didn't provide tracking number.

[UberN00b]

10 days since i last posted, anyone get their issues ironed out?

[psycho3]

Nope.
Now he doesn't even respond to PMs & E-mails.
He said he will issue the refund once I give him the Paypal email (which I did), but no response after that.
Last PM that I've received from him was September 18th!

[UberN00b]

yeah that was the last i heard of him too.. he told me he would call me at 3am but i was far too tired to talk.. but im not sure what there is to talk about, i gave him my contact info to EMT me back the cash, and still nothing. =|

i sent him a message earlier today that id like to get this resolved ASAP.

[infamouskid]

hey guys,

it's was a busy last 2 weeks as vince has told you all. thanks vince.
luke and vince your emts have been sent. password is refund. as for the position on parts already sent out nothing has changed. i did fulfill my part on shipping those out. if something has not arrived i will have to file a claim with the shipping company and follow the claim process. if anyone wants me to reship anything that will be done at their cost. if anyone chooses to dispute this that is what the paypal resolution center is for.
as for the guy who is missing the wiring harness. i offered you a 5.00 credit and you refused that offer but yet you still call me a scammer. i don't think you have any right to be posting in this thread anymore after something like that.
that leaves the one gentlemen from the u.s. that i have already shipped out parts to 3 times and still claims he has not received anything. you sir are a scam. i have tracking and pictures taken the second and third times shipping to proove that as well a scanned signature from the courier and i welcome any challenge in paypal resolution dispute should you choose to further this argument.
guys please don't send any email to my hookmeup.to address as i said prior there is something funky with that domain since the company is in the middle of a host migration. you can do what vince has been doing by sms txting me or alternatively emailing me at brian@connectedgaming.ca

thanks,

Thank you for the refund for 'cthulhu board'

For the remaining missing items,
3 x GTY & 1 x JLF-TP-8YT-W

You are claiming that you've shipped my missing parts on September 17th (as per your PM from RFD forum on Sept 18th, 7:40pm)
Now, that's 2 weeks already, and it's not here.
If you have taken the photos of my shipment, can you provide me the photos?
For the shipping method, you have promised me that you would ship the item using UPS with tracking number since you said Canadapost has lost the shipment.

read the post carefully. do you live in the usa? if not then i think your having your case and someone eles's mistaken.

My point is 'shipping method' if you read my post carefully.
It's been 2 weeks and my items are still not here.
On top of that, you've said that you will ship via UPS and will provide me with tracking number once shipped. However, now you are saying you've shipped with Canadapost again without any tracking number.

why would i, or anyone in their right mind, order from you again? honestly, 3-4 months of ****** communication in which you only took public action because i started this thread, and a reply to this thread because mods pm'd you to take action on it.

this guy is obviously a very bad trader and a liar. just give him the bad feedback and move on (after you get your stuff).

3 isolated customer problems. 2 solved. out of many orders every week since February 2009. sad to see you go but hey honestly. i tried. i deal with these 1 by 1. if you choose to by elsewhere that is totally your decision.i been responding to all methods of contact. i have my reasons if i cannot respond right away and there are plently of sellers other then myself and arcadepower around in the gta. and there was nothing wrong with how i handled the missing harness problem. i followed my policy and you declined. case closed. but like i said if i was a total scammer none of you would hear from me at all. and none of you would have any product.

[UberN00b]

i got my refund at last, im happy. :) despite waiting a very long time for it though, but im a patient person..

thanks Brian.

Brian.
What's going on with my missing parts?
3 x GTY & 1 x JLF-TP-8YT-W
How can the parts be lost 2 times during the transit?
Can you find out when it was shipped to me, and if it's lost, rectify the situation asap.
Can you also provide me the tracking number for the lost shipment?
You shipped with Canadapost Expedited Service, hence there is a tracking number.

Maybe you should give him a call and arrange a pick up/refund. He doesn't live that far from where your area. (His gf's place)

I can tell you exactly where but he was a decent guy when I dealt w/ him, so I'll let him fix this mess up. Unless the Mod request it.


Good Luck to both of you!
