Trev343 is a scammer!

akybo · 12-06-2008, 04:30 AM

Trev343 contacted me to trade his APDC for my PDR+
I really didnt care to still trade my pdr+ but looking through some of his posts he seemd like a guy really interested in tennis(he has a video too)and especially for this racquet so I said to myself to do something good and forget my lazyness and send him the racquet.
Afer I sent him the email confirmation with an attachement postal confirmation, he sent me this email:

I really dont know what to tell you, but you will get some stuff from me for your racquet or I will send it back. I have a yonex rds 003 at my house and that is the only racquet I have left. I have 75 dollars also in my paypal account, a PSP I am willing to send you, string, xbox 360 games, anything to make up for this because now I am racquetless besides my yonex rds 003. Please do not be quick to leave me bad feedback because I will make this up to you.

It felt weird but I said to myself:"maybe he's telling the truth,it's about a racquet afterall" so my response to him:

After he received the racquet I wrote him this mail:

Two days ago I wrote him to send me a straight answer,he didnt responde;he still entered this site.
I dont think he is a specialised scammer,maybe he's superlazy.I erased words and his adress in the mails to not put him in any danger,it's a racquet afterall,I wrote this,that other persons know what to expect when try to do a trade with him.

I think the title of this thread is a bit too harsh, at this point at least.

I wrote down to my post that I dont think he's a specialized scammer,maybe he's just lazy,but I am talking about facts,I sent him my racquet,he didnt,is simple-he scammed me.If someone steals for his first time,he's still called a thiev.

So he took your racquet, then asked you to buy him handlebars for his bike? Personally, I would never, ever deal with anyone like that, if anything, I'd be more inclined to punch him in the mouth.

no
He said he got some money into a paypal account(in Romania we cant use paypal).After he received the racquet I told him I will think to a method of payment(I was thinking about WesterUnion).
I was looking for a handlebar for my bike and saw there(on that site) you can pay through paypal and I wrote to him if he can help me with that-I was going to pay the shippment;I needed him only to buy those bars.
Here is he's last post http://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/showthread.php?t=234360

I love how all of you people run your mouth without hearing both sides of the story.
1a. Right after all my crap gets stolen I tell him ill send it back, but then he says something along the lines of don't worry about it.
1b. I dont live on this forum, so im sorry if I havnt changed my sig, its usually not my TOP priority.
2. After the incident you told me you wanted me to find the racquet for you used, because its "cheap" down here. Ok didn't find anything because I kinda live in the middle of nowhere.
3. I OFFERED TO SEND HIM MONEY ON PAYPAL after that and then he comes to tell me he can't do that? Well im certainly trying!
4. OK then he wants some handlebars, does he expect money to remain on my papal account when he just told me he cant do it on paypal so I take it out and spend.

Dude heres the bottom line, I intended to send your racquet back, but you said you didn't want it. Then I looked for an APDC for sale, couldnt find any. Then I try to paypal you money, you wouldn't allow it. Then you say you want some handlebars, well im sorry I dont have the money right now. You should have came to me about first instead of doing this.
Im sure I won't be able to do any more transactions anymore on here, but all in all I can simply just make a new account!
So have fun crying buddy.

Wow Trev, way to take the ******-bag approach to all this, I would never, ever trade/buy from/sell to you in a million years. Nice job taking his frame and running with it. In any case, akybo, you should post his name, not just his email, so we know who not to deal with.

akybo · 12-07-2008, 08:45 AM

post down!

FedererForehand · 12-07-2008, 08:51 AM

Trev- get a freaking life... I am surprised you didn't offer him a nice set of hubcaps while you were at it.

Akybo - what's Trev's real first and last name - that way in case he decides to make a another account we'll at least have his name for future reference.

lilxjohnyy · 12-07-2008, 09:52 AM

Wow... thats all the proof you need to show Trev indeed is a scammer. No need to hear the other side of the story anymore

VGP · 12-07-2008, 11:06 AM

Damn!

Nice.

inwoodnyc · 12-07-2008, 11:43 AM

zidane339 · 12-07-2008, 11:44 AM

zidane339 · 12-07-2008, 03:49 PM

Wow i've seen some low sh** but this is downright stupid, seriously just give back the racquet and maybe you wont have roger federer kicking your door down to pick up that APDC ( Or Nadal for that matter).
