Deal Thread URL: https://carbonite.co.za/index.php?conversations/gpu.721208/#convMessage-768168
Seller:
@Techgh0st
Buyer: @Dewi7296
Description of Bad Deal: I was on a thread asking user @Gadgetology if he has any of his (MSi 1070Ti Twin Frozr) left, did not get any reply from him, then @Techgh0st In boxed me with his proposal for the same card.. we agreed to a deal to pay 60% before and then 40% after I received the card.. He sent me all his details and then a copy of the courier invoice.. I have been awaiting the card and nothing has arrived.. he does not respond to his messages or phone calls.. I have made the first payment already. I have his banking details , his address (assuming its fake) and then his name and surname as well (also assuming its fake). Is there any advice on what to do on this matter?? If anyone needs more info of this person I can send through images of the Whatsapp chat and images that @Techgh0st sent me for proof...it's my first time using Carbonite and was well referred by friends also using Carbonite for great deals.
 
@Techgh0st , you have 24 hours to respond to this thread.
@Dewi7296 , sorry for your loss. please take all the information you have and get it ready to open a case of fraud.

Please post all the details on this thread as well tomorrow if no response is coming through so that other users can be warned.

Everyone else stop commenting unless your response adds info on the current bad deal.
 
What details will you need? i have his Banking details , His name and surname (if its not fake) and then mobile number and his address (if its not fake).. and the proof messages on whatsapp etc.
 
@Techgh0st has been online and is busy on TAPATALK on the forum. @ViVception I know you're handling this, but perhaps you should check out his PMs to make sure he's not actively PM'ing someone else. I don't have access to PMs.
 
Ive also been scammed over the weekend by this guy. It was on a gtx1060. The same story as above, but he added a 512gb ssd to the mix. He kept on telling me that he had car and phone problems. Thats why he hasnt been in contact. He said that he asked his girlfriend to send the parcel via courier, and never provided the waybill. Also have his details should anyone want it. Ive made a document containing all info and communications. After seeing this thread I will be off to the police station tomorrow. Already contacted my bank for a fraud case, and hopefully freeze his account. They will then take the investigation further.
 
Make a case at SAPS and speak to @poplap about the case info. This is important - get him behind bars.
 
I just want to add this. If anyone sends you a photo of the sale item, just pull the photo into google images to see if it has been pulled of the net and edited. This was what he sent me, looking at it closer it was photoshopped.
