I am having problems trying to get refund from AvalonShenzhen

[zebtw]

Yeah and all emails bounce email address was also deleted.

[drof69]

Yeah, fuck. This is a large scam. Did he not have confirmed previous sales? Let me see if I can contact some friends to track him down and get some legal action against him.

[tarmi]

he did.

some senior members confirmed that they recieved their orders in batch #1

[Xer0]

he did.

some senior members confirmed that they recieved their orders in batch #1

he sure just drop-shipeed, but maybe left some traces there

[tarmi]

checking all nicknames from batch #1 that supposedly received their miners.

so far not looking good. they are all newbies, with 0 post.

the only ones that confirmed they received anything was 3 newbies that all had join dates on the forum of January 22 and 23. Every time someone posted questioning the GB the post got deleted.

Yes their only post was on this GB. I did PM both trying get as much information from them and the OP as this thing smelled of a scam from the start.

OK, so question arises.



Why the fuck did mods allow this scam to last so long? 3 weeks on bitcointalk and no scam thread or anything?

they left AvalonShenzen with self-moderated thread. they left him with a self moderated group buy thread for 3 weeks.


he managed to scam 80 btc, that is a lot of money.

Would someone besides a newbie post pictures of the insides of their boxes?

Sorry but no pictures besides vendor....very odd for such a thread

Thank you

More than that... Batch 1   Had 5 buyers.. Which 3 are newbies all with join dates of the 22nd or 23rd and other 2 I can not find. Then batch 2 search their names... Can not find any of them and there is no post by any of them. Batch one buyer act like they got their miner in hand within 3 days and batch two just got tracking numbers emailed to them but not one of them posted a thing? Batch 3 are the suckers that will loose their BTC. I say this is more than just "very odd"

yes, 2 members from batch #1 :

Bitdreamer
&
Jicoli

dont even exist. how is that possible?




I guess he just made up those list to make an impression that others are ordering...

[aurel57]

I tried asking and my post was deleted as was another one. I started PM some members and it seemed as thou a lot of the buyers were newbies and was afraid to PM to many of them as I thought he may have been doing some of that himself with more fake ID's trying to make the GB look legit.

He almost got me. I was looking at the prices of these on ebay and got the old "if it's too good to be true, it's probably is" feeling. 300% profit that he was losing selling on here than ebay. 

[Maxximus007]

Damn... Luckily I waited with the second order on a tracking number.. But still hate lo loose my 1.1 BTC!!!

Why was this so long here, although there were many newbie orders.. (including me now, I know...)

[Airwhale]

I got scammed also.  Sigh. =( 1.1 BTC.

[falseflag]

hello guys,

i was the first of batch 4 list.....

[Maxximus007]

I'm afraid not.. This was a pretty well set up scam! Not for us of course... I personally thought, well, third/fourth bach, quick response, this is a sound deal..

Have to get more careful in the future, waiting for some more evidence that vendors actually exist..

[falseflag]

hello,


IF- al lot of people know it was a scam-so my simple question ,why the hell was this thread 2 or 3 weeks open and he was be able to ripp of so many people?

why he was be able to moderate his thread and delete what he want - to prevent that some call him a scam in this thread?

i dont cry because of the 1.1 btc.... its bad and hard and i learned from it -but no one stops him and his thread instead of knowing ,that it is a scam?

[iglasses]

I got taken in this one too...same reason....I see previous buys that look like they went well...see senior members involved....NO threads saying hey this guy is a thief...
Fuck my fucking life.

another 1.1 btc gone forever.

and I'm getting tired of hearing 'use your own brain'...its quite obvious that this entire website is little more than a front for these thieves.  This place is a haven for crooks who get protection FROM the site.

What is the IP Address(s) of this POS?   bitcointalk won't tell us!
The very idea of these 'self moderated' threads are conducive to these scams.

The fucking site is AT BEST allowing these people to rip us off...at worst they are involved and profiting from it.

I'm fucking sick of this shit.

And then the site MOVES the topic into scam accusations because as we all know what's REALLY IMPORTANT is to not have off topic shit in the Groupbuy section

How about NOT moving ANOTHER fucking thread about ANOTHER fucking thief that YOU are protecting assholes....

I wonder how long it will take before this gets deleted???
