Am I the victim of Beyond Fraud? pt. 2

**Chester** · 08-05-2005, 05:59 PM

About a month ago (June 27) I purchased 2 laptops from oddjob. He said he could get a deal through dell for me because he worked for them. A couple other members on here (neil4speed) also ordered a laptop through him but they actually got something. Anyways, he said I could pay half of the money to him and the other half when I received the laptops, so I payed him 665 dollars, which is half of the total amount. Its been over a month now and I still have nothing to show for the money I payed him. I've tried to phone the number he gave me but I always get a fax machine.

This is similiar to what happened to Neil4Speed; same seller, same notebook

I've already told weapon_R about this, I just wanted to post this in the general forum to be careful when buying stuff over the internet.

Oddjob, if your reading this, tell me something man.

Update: Still have nothing

I think that's the problem, if I were buying something alittle sketchy like that I would be getting alot more from him than his phone number.

I hope you get your laptop soon!!

do you have his address?

**googe** · 08-05-2005, 10:01 PM

i asked him to email me from his work to verify his claim that he works for dell, he agreed to but never did

**Chester** · 08-05-2005, 10:17 PM

Well he just PM'd me saying they were sent out wednesday so hopefully I will get something next week.

**Kaos** · 08-05-2005, 10:20 PM

Hopefully he pulls through.

That would suck to get screwed around on by a beyond member, i hope he has more sense then to fuck you over.

**Chester** · 08-05-2005, 11:54 PM

I have a feeling I will get the laptops since other people have purchased stuff from him and it did take Neil4Speed about a month to receive his computer.

I just wanted to see what other people thought about the situation because I wasn't sure if I was just being extremely paranoid.

Didn't want to bump this thread but I was out for this past week so I couldn't reply to Chester although I am in touch with him now. He should be receiving next week!

Yes I take long (sometimes).

No, I orderded two computers, but one is for my sister.

Yo oddjob, you're super reliable YO!

**koopkoop2** · 08-12-2005, 08:36 PM

Is his phone number a cell phone? If not, have you tried doing a reverse lookup on the number?

Even if it is a cell phone, you can go to the Police and they can assist you in paying the guy a visit.
