User Paulmayor stole my money

Deal thread URL: [Sale] - Alienware Gaming Laptop | Laptops
Buyer: @KillerW0g
Seller: @paulmayor

Description of bad deal:
Good morning,

I will list the series of events to make it as easy as possible to follow.

I purchased a laptop from @paulmayor , as per the ad it was an Alienware 13 R2, had the original charger, 512gb SSD, as per communication with him, had never been opened and was in great condition.

The seller has a 100% rating and this was my first time using the site, i gave into his demands and paid him the money prior to him sending the laptop.

The laptop arrived, immediately i noticed it had a replacement charger. upon further unpacking i noticed screws missing in the laptop and a piece chassis was broken out.

turning the laptop on to further inspect it, the laptop did not have a SSD, rather a 500gb HDD.

i raised these points with him and he offered me a refund.

i sent back the laptop as he assured me i will receive my money after he has the laptop returned and can confirm i did not tamper with it. i agreed as i have no rating having never bought on the site before i had no leg to stand on.

all this happened in July 2019, since i have received a tiny portion of the money back and re recently stopped responding to me altogether.

at this point my best option was a bad deals thread as recommended by @Toxxyc and by @ViVceptioN

@KillerW0g this info is perfect, thanks. We now give @paulmayor a chance to respond, if he plans to. If not, I would suggest you open a case of fraud at SAPS against this individual. There are some users on here who has more information of him, but I'll avoid posting the info just yet.

Just to add here
i am 99999% sure the laptop he advertised does not have an OLED panel,
Oled became available late 2019 on laptops only

OK so no response from @paulmayor. I have banned him. @KillerW0g sorry for the deal going bad. I see Paulmayor might have been in contact with @Spoil3d regarding a CV, so he will have all the info. Perhaps ask Spoil3d if you can get that info to make a case at SAPS against paulmayor?

Just came across this thread and recognised the seller , i had a an issue with him around the 20 June 2019

after reporting this to an admin , i was said my issue was not worthy of a negative itrade ,

this couldve possibly prevented this bad deal thread.
A suggestion to the admin of the forum , perhaps let’s not be as lenient towards negative ratings this year.

Hi, sorry for disappearing for a bit. Was trying to look around other forums to see if I can find him.

If anyone has any information on this guy, can you please inbox me. I want to open a case but right now I only have his name.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
