If we knew they were drug dealers would the phone company list their phone number?

Those two links show that the lowest price for that tv (new, retail) is $953.55 in the US. The avg. price is $1200 -1300. That tv likely cannot even be manufactered for $408, much less shipped half way around the world. This thread, http://www.resellerratings.com/forum...d.php?t=127716 shows that they were ID'd as a scam on 28JUN2007. All of that can be found with Google also. It is not Google's fault YOU didn't check these guys out any futher.

Even Western Union warns you off at http://www.westernunion.com/info/fra...pid=fraud00011 You broke the first two right off.

My original post at Wim Electro fraud , post #8, does not contain that sentence, nor does that post show an edit.

Is there some reason you have qouted my post and then altered it by adding your own content?

I didn't know what I was doing. When I typed a Quote I thought it went at the end of the sentence. Then I figured out it went at the beginning of your statement. Sorry. I was trying to respond to your statement about drug dealers so I thought it was appropiate to respond at the end of your sentence.

I am now accountable. go to www.aa419.org and find out yourself. I will not stand by and do nothing. We can shut down these scammers.

I've lost money in my quest for a more comfortable lifestyle and I've learnt from it!

count your losses and move on phunky. A lot of people here have been down this road. Unless you plan on going down there yourself and finding the guy...you have very little chance. Chalk this up to an expensive but well learn lesson. If you make it, you will look back to this and have a good laugh about it.

What is with you people? Don't you beleive you can do something to stop these scammers? You won't know unless you try! I know I have lost money and will not get it back but I can shut down this scammer and future scammers too if I just try and make an effort! I am not going to have a good laugh about it because this is serious stuff.

As they say..prevention is better than the cure. There's nothing 'wrong' with us people. There might be something wrong with you mate. Margins in electronics are less than 10%. Usually in the range of 1% to 5%. Did it ever occur to you that the deal might be too good to be true? Or did you let greed take over.

You should have done thorough research on this before you even considered your first purchase. There's enough resources on this forum that would have helped you prevent being scammed. 'Prevent' being the key word.

Not trying to kick you when you are down....but what exactly do you want us to do? Seriously, count your losses and move on...The money you lost is really nothing in the grand scheme of things. If it was much larger, then yes, the authorities would persue it.

Just like any other business, you shouldnt have been playing with money you couldnt afford to lose.

We could go on and on about what is the right thing to do. There is nothing wrong with me (again and again) Maybe you're a scammer just like the rest of them. trying to convince me to move on. I was just looking for the lowest price (what's wrong with that?) I didn't let greed take over, I was just stupid and didn't realize that Wim Electro was a scam. At the time I bought the TV's there was no warning on the website about Wim Electro. Now there is.

You seem to want to blame other people... Dont forget: no one put a gun to your head and forced you to send the money. This forum is littered with hundreds of threads warning people of scams. There have been scams much much bigger than this that are just now being solved. Ling from Singapore anyone?

Since our point is clearly not going across, just let us know how you get along.
