    - He has an ebay store, selling at least two Samsung D900's as 'working' for around £50 quid each .... presumably which he has built using phones which he has scammed me and others with.
    the idiots seller account is "carlidanielle" his shop is "Giftopia UK"
    Take a look at what carlidanielle is selling (link)...

    Samsung SGH-D900 Ultra 12.9 Mobile Phone boxed, £49.99+£6.99
    Samsung SGH-D900i Mobile Phone. Ultra 12.9 Wine red, £59.99+£6.99

    Hi Satan. littlemisscheeky is the 'other' user who contacted me on Friday via ebay when the same happened to her - i.e. he bought a faulty phone off her, started making excuses then gave her a neg when he realised she is on to him just like I was. The paypal account used by the 'buyer' has the same id as this seller and their location is the same. misscheeky has more details as she found out the account but I'm convinced this is the same guy .

    I have been following this thread for a while to see what happens to this idiot. I hope Op gets his money back!

    Has anyone purchased anything would be interesting to see if the payment to Paypal goes to the same address as the Op got payment from?

    Hello

    from the original sale and paypal do you have the guys postal address, if so you can put it into google earth see where he lives and go round and slash his tyres etc, or start putting his name and address into loads of spam email and other trinkets that come thru the post. It wont get your money back but will make you feel good that he is being plagued by post/spam email etc.

    if you find his location on google earth post it on here someone on here may live close and can go round and give him what for.


    If you have his personal email address go onto some "ahem" Adult sites and fill in his details for..........yes i would like to see strapping big naked hunks sent to my email address daily!!! or whatever deviant stuff you think will ruin his life. It always works

    I personally would not recommend any of the above as its illegal for a start!!! So please dont go round doing any of the above. Just buy stuff from him and give him a taste of his own medicine. The more expensive the better :) But make sure you leave neg that is relevant to the item

    buyers like this are a real pain

    I would put in a link to your picture
    or see if you can copy and paste it into
    the reply.But be specific, ie- this is the phone
    I sent and this is the phone I recieved
    back.My phone on the listing is a black version
    this one I recieved from the bidder is
    a grey version of the same phone.
    If you compare this picture below to the
    pictures on my listing you will see for yourself
    the two phones are different ones.

    I think you have a good chance here
    of winning.

    if this bidder does win then at least you
    have the satisfaction of knowing they
    will not get the return postage refunded
    small comfort but its cost them something
    at least.
    :j:j:j
  • Do you think he couldve broken it himself as if he is trying to make onephone out of the two he already has a key pad, therefore breaking your one and asking for a part refund is getting him extra money. i think you should report him to ebay i bet he has done this many times before.

    Rosekitten, sorry to go slightly OT, but why do your posts always appear as if written in poetry? I wonder if its something to do with how you format them? It makes it quite difficult to read as I try and rhyme it as I go :o
