IGW *update*
 

Still nothing from lamont. I was able to obtain several phone numbers and a physical address for him. I have actually talked to his father-in-law, who seemed very nice and gave me his home number. I called that number and got bitched out by his wife for calling. She also threatened to call the police. All I said was that I needed to speak to lamont about a business transaction...very strange. Here is the info i got just in case any1 eles needs it:

Lamont Ward ([email protected])
619-472-1902- not sure what this one was
3077 Vesuvia Way
San Diego, CA 92139
US
858-569-4030- supposed to be the business number
619-337-1455- I think this is the home number

*********UPDATE***************

OK, I just spoke with Lamont and apparently there was a block in the communication pathway. He has assured me he is sending my system off ASAP with an upgrade. I want to thank who ever called him about this thread. Thank you SO much. Lamont seems like a really nice guy. I will post again once I receive the system. Thanks again to everyone....

Go gettem bro. Nice to see a crook get tracked down and brought to justice.




Tyler!

btw how did u pay the guy ?

paypal

Why dont you file a report with paypal?



Tyler!

yeah thats what i was thinking has it been 30 days sence u payed the guy ?

Yea I tried but it has been past 30 days... I emailed with the situation...but still haven’t gotten a response.

thanks

Burn this guy like you've been burned. There seriously needs to be mobilization on the part of modding community since ALOT of business is done this way - community cant grow if people feel wary of doing business with people, some not even in the same country! I'm thinking of adding a section like this onto my website, just kind of "community watch" type group.

What were the original details. Seems like everyone is pretty aware of what happened.

well everyone is calling him a thief, yet i received my ps2 exactly as promised...did you think maybe something else has happened? people have said he tends to lag....which i believe to be true, but i received my ps2 within a week.....

plus, the lease on his website just recently expired, maybe he is working on updating it and fixing stuff up so he's been busy....

He could have explained himself then when he was phoned instead of having his wife bitch. So I don't think that is the case.

And we know he reads this forum and is a member. The least he could do to defend himself if this lag is legit would be to post an explanation. This would hopefully correct any bad thoughts people might be having (other then flynhigh1184 of course) if he is not a thief. Which like ED! said doesn’t promote the community.

Paypal wrote me back and said they could do nothing because it was past 30 days...I contacted the web police and they told me since i had his name and adress they could probably get my $ back. I'm waiting untill friday to fill out the paperwork. I'm hoping to hear back from lamont before Friday. I really dont want to go this route but if i have to I will...I hope Lamont reads this and contacts me.

thanks

rob

Keep us posted!



Tyler!

This sound very "fishy" to me....

Paypal will not even allow you to file a fraud report UNTIL its been AT LEAST 30 days.....(If you wait longer than 90 days, then your screwed)

Then you have to file a complaint with them to allow them to investigate... (which takes 10-20 days)

Then they send you a confirmation letter saying that they have investigated the matter and have determined that you are entitled to a refund....

Then you get to wait some more until they get around to sending it...

This has been my experience with Paypal.....

here is the email....
