Title: Possible Group Buy Scam
Post by: ahmed_bodi on February 11, 2014, 04:31:49 PM
What happened::

OP refuses any escrow, deletes any posts mentioning escrow and when any users post in the thread about their post being deleted, threatens them with being reported to theymos if they dont leave the group buy thread

there is 0 reason for any legit seller to refuse escrow even when the buyer has offered to pay the escrow fees. so yes i am calling you out for a scam just how barwizi did.

If i ever organise a group buy it will always be with the option of escrow. If people have no problem throwing money at people like you with no escrow thats their problem.

I'm kind of on the fence about this one. On one hand AvalonShenzhen refuses to use escrow, but on the other hand he accepts a reversible form of payment (PayPal), which offers some protection for the buyer. As long as PayPal is allowed as a payment option, I won't apply any negative rep.

Thank you for your quick review Tomatocage.

All I want now is continuing my group buy without the troubles of ahmed_bodi and barwizi.
Yes they want escrow but I don't work with this. It is all, nothing more nothing less.


You should confirm if u allow paypal or dont for tomatocage's records

*facepalm*

not everyone lives in shenzen i asked about paypal. you are directly avoiding the question at hand. this is enough to show a big bright red warning that you are a possible scammer

Group 1 and Group 2 were both Fake!

The PayPal was all FAKE

The "Delivered" was all FAKE

It was a very good Scam. Well planned possible done by more that one person.
That has been on this site for some time. Location is most likely in the EU.
I sure Mossad can do the job for small fee.
