Title: Zombie Sent me a half-broken Xbox not including anything.
Post by: danieldaniel on March 23, 2012, 10:07:29 PM
Hello,
As some of you may know, I bought an xbox from Zombie a week or two ago.  He sent me an xbox with a broken disc drive, which did not include ANYTHING except for the xbox and a random wire...

I would like a refund, or a scammer tag, or at least a response from him!

Thanks!

Hasn't signed on since the 19th and doubt he ever will...

he cleared out the topic post too which isnt a good sign. He seems he scammed at least one other guy as well. I knew that deal was to good to be true. I was tempted to buy one myself but I was betting that they were stolen, refurbished or a scam.

Its not fun to lose any money ESPECIALLY to a scammer but at least is was only 8BTC.

I am only going to use escrow or have seller send first from now on with things. I've been scammed out of BTC in the past.

Seems like a good place to note I do no-fee escrow services. (check BDK thread in sig if interested) :)

If the drive is the only broke part then you can repair it for less than 40 dollars, get some replacement cords for 20-30, and hey, you have a cheap (at least, as far as I know, not sure of the used prices) Xbox

He'd still be a scammer, because that shit should be disclosed before paying, but you win either way

Clearing out the OP on the sale topic is definitely disturbing. I wonder if the mods can see the edit date on these posts?
