Watch out for this guy!!!

[Leifern]

Hi,

I got ripped by this guy on Amibench. He sold me a PPC accelerator that he never sent.. He even told me he didn't send it.. He said he had sold it to some other guy, and that he was going to give me my money back.. A week later he said he had spent the money, and that he would have to pay me a little every month.. Four months later i haven't seen any money. I reported to the cops, but they said they wern't likely to get anything done.

Here is a little information that might come in handy when trying to avoid this guy:

---------------------------------------------------

Henrique António Barradas Mota Pereira
Luis Periera

Bank Name: Montepio Geral
Bank Location: Portugal,Lisboa
Bank Account Registered to Henrique António Barradas Mota Pereira

----------------------------------------------------

I dont know if any of this helps, or if i've broken some rules, but i really think this guy deserves to be recognised as the piece of {bleep} that he is! :pissed: I also think he might be hanging around the amiga forums. Saw that he had replied to a post about his fraud on another board (cannot remember which).

Ouch, sorry to hear :-(

That extremely sucks.

The thing you have to watch out for is where the card is being sold from. Chances for a PPC from portugal is a joke.  They are scammers and have no life.  :-)

Not stereotyping, but just stating the obvious that people with strange names and of course their location.

Hmmm.... Not much can happen since they are from a different place far away.

That bleep strikes again! Sorry to hear your one of his latest victims.  :-(

Thats some sucking news, dude.  I have some Italian friends in the "construction" business in New Jersey who owe me a favor.   Want me to ask them for advice on extricating your money from this dreg?    8-)

Are your friends called Mario and Luigi? :-D

@ Leifern

Can you please tell us any user names this guy might be using on the Amiga forums, so we don't trade with him.

[Akiko]

I'm not sure if he is a member here but his user name is"LUISTHE" over on AW.

Here is a few AW threads about this individual-

link 2

But according to those threads, LuisTHE is not the same Luis that is scamming people.

I can't believe I'm reading this - are you saying that the Portuguese are, by nature, scammers?!?!  :-(

This is the exact same excuse he used for me.

That guy needs to be caught and have his hands cut off!

Sorry to hear. Been ripped off myself for about 2000 EURs a couple of years back (but not in the Amiga context). Feels bad, but still I try to trust ppl.

It's always strange that the police is a) not too interested (or to put it better, they are *interested* but just have not the resorces to care about) in such 'minor' things and b) that it still becomes terribly difficult whenever more than one country is involved.

Leifern,

Sorry to read about your sad story... ;-(  I had a few people try to do that too me
on Ebay..when I sold a few "Souped-up/chipped" Sony PS2(slim models)..
Ebay didnt know they were souped up..but u knew when u read the description.

I didnt fall for scams..Wanting me to send them the PS2..and telling me they need it right away..and that they would pay as soon as they had confirmation that the package was sent..mmmmm...all from Nigeria....

Again Sorry to read about your loss..
Will def. stay away from HIM..

Peace
Rich

Actually, i do believe LuisTHE to be the same guy. I looked into it, and i was told he had used Luis Periera as an alias aswell.. And i know that LuisTHE ripped of/tried to rip of a few people on th AW board.

So by your post, yo say that ppl in portugal are scammers and that portugal is not a kindly place to get a PPC? Portugal still have amigans, didnt know?

Portugal is not a 3rd world nation ( where the chances of having an computer are a joke because getting something to eat goes first ) occupied by scammers.
In EVERYWHERE are black spots between white one, not only portugal.

Portugal is a country conforming the E.U. as well as, Poland, Germany, France or Spain.

I think you have to offer your excuses to our portugal folks.

PS: I have nothing to do with Portugal, but i have been a little offended with that statement.
