Justin Daves Update....

Post by mogman42 »

Well, after I was trolled by Justin Daves just about 2 years ago, after I found this thread I was shocked that he was still trolling people.

Some good news to offer though. He will be going to juvenile court on June 18th.....

Info available here...

Another new alias for Jason Lock is Overclock Kid. I have two more possible aliases but need to run a few more IP checks first.

I just found this list, but I have a new guy to add from a deal a few months ago.

Micheal Dalton
4759 Millers Ferry Road
Vernon, FL 32462

He has a fake phone number listed on ebay, He wont respond to any of my emails. I tried contacting the police, but aparantly they dont care about 103$ worth of fraud. He also gave me this story that he couldnt send out my item (A playsation 2) because he couldnt find the power cord and he didnt want me to be upset when it arrived. (Replacement power cords are under 5$) He sent this email to me about a week after he cashed my check. It has been a few months, and still no contact from him.

He goes by the name studiogenocide on ebay, heres a link to his feedback which somehow is surprisingly good. http://feedback.ebay.com/ws1/eBayISAPI. ... iogenocide

I have a sweet one for you here.

An E-Bay frauder, has several disputes regarding payments to bidders and or buyers and has not come clean. He has claimed to work out terms with the buyers and or bidders, but no resolution at this point.

He is currently using a cell phone number for persons to reach him, which may be futile do to not having it turned on or giving false location information.

The nick he goes by is killSwitch, real name is Nick Flores.

Contact information retrieved from a forum that I am currently with:

Name: Nick Flores
Cell: (626) 833-3605
Handle: killSwitch aka needhelp

Address: Los Angeles County - Unknown City.

More information on the events happening, supposedly admitted to frauding on his own behalf:

Researched on InfoSpace, so the information may not be accurate:

Wanted to add on to one of those guys. This happened back in May, I have contacted the FBI, NY Police and the Web Police with no responses from any. Well a dectective did respond back in June but hasn't answered any emails I"ve sent him since. Not sure on the amount but it was right around $360 would have to go back and look at all my records.

Another to the list...

In reguards to this thread (posting a link instead of typing everything out)

http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview ... id=1414996

There has been no response from him and another guy posted that he was trolled by the same guy. So it's safe to assume that I'm being trolled as well. Here's all the info I know about him.

Yahoo Auctions Seller

Post by PhantomOSX »

Everyone who uses Yahoo Auctions should stay away from the user:

thesundontshine4ever@Yahoo.com

This person goes by the name "VANESSA WAMMERSON" and is wanted by the IFCC: http://www1.ifccfbi.gov/index.asp

An email by a past victum confirms this:
Subj:
Date: Tue, 26 Oct 2004 21:52:39 +0800
From: [email]terryong@{edited for respect of privacy}.com[/email]
----------------------------------------------------------------
hi,pls dont buy anything from that thesundontshine4ever.
she is a cheater.i got cheated by her once.
now the IFCC is trying to get her.
pls be careful
The items usually sold on her auctions are usually Powerbook G4s, (which range in thousands of $) for way cheap.

She offered to close her auction and sell me a 15" 1.25 GHz one for $650 if I sent the money through PayPal first (even though she is unrated). I said ok but only if we used Escrow service (http://www.escrow.com), in which then she backed out of the deal and never responded. (typical)

One of her auctions may be seen here (you might have to log in with your Yahoo account to see it):
http://page.auctions.shopping.yahoo.com ... cview=0x74

I say if you want to rip someone off, do it good. If you refuse to use a legit safe trade service when a buyer requests it, and there is no cost to you (the seller), you're setting yourself up as a scammer.

Looks like Jason Lock is still ripping people off.

He's very active on futuremark.com as a top OC'er under the ID jason57570, but the forum does not seem to mind that, apparently, he is a sick troll.

Posted here just for this. Hoped I wouldn't have to put up a warning about anyone, but at least I got my money back in this case.

Zach Mullins
PO Box 341
Princeton, IA 52678

ZACHMAN4EVER@AOL.COM
killerkid16@msn.com

First, check out his Heatware, notably my entry . Then, head on over to Anandtech and take a gander at his latest attempt at a For Sale thread (NOT the one he had up where I bought the Duron). It gets suspicious around halfway down page 2, and by page 5 Zach is scrambling for cover. The summary:

He sold me a Duron 1600 that he claimed to have run at 2.4GHz. I paid for the chip right away. I waited... and waited. Through a torrent of BS and lies, he took 48 days to actually ship a CPU to me. The CPU was DOA and he refused to refund even the $6 shipping cost.

Long story short, the CPU had been toasted by the previous owner (slight browning on the bottom of the package + total lack of operation), legal action was threatened and I got my $41 back. I was ready to drop it there and go home happy. Then came the apologies... and more lies. He claimed that he'd let a friend borrow the CPU and the friend somehow got ahold of his AT username and pass, his PayPal username and pass, and his AOL username and pass, then tried to sell the CPU for a quick buck. This was rather quickly disproven, and his credibility on AT was torched to a crisp. I doubt he'll be back there.

- He does not tell the truth, making up extraordinarily extravagant lies to try to cover his arse. This happened in private e-mail and on the AT forums, and his stories even blatantly contradict. These lies include family trouble, being in a car wreck, having an insane amount of schoolwork (come on, last semester I worked and went to school such that I had an hour between work and class every day five days a week. I still got all my stuff off within two days, or I notified the BUYER that it was going to be late, and why.)
- He doesn't respond to e-mails when his stories or his scammed cash is in jeopardy.
- He tries to point fingers at others when something is his fault. Shifting of the blame.

The chip was only $41. I can only imagine the pathetic stubbornness I would have gone through if I'd tried to purchase something else he had for sale, like his 9800 Pro. If you want a more in-depth explanation I'd be more than happy to type out a five-page Word document on the whole thing this weekend and e-mail it to anyone who wants it, along with the e-mail convo we had (if someone could please tell me how to save or forward entire GMail conversations, I'm all ears).

I'm registered on Futuremark.com, and that's the best way to get ahold of me. Send me a PM... or send mrmudcat a PM, as he helped me bring a 10-week crapflinging contest to a close.
