Tyco-Mobile,

I'm requesting that we do this transaction over PayPal. This will give me confidence in buying from you, because if this is a fraud I can file a dispute.

I'm sorry for all these precautions I just want to make a safe transaction for both of us. So if you can do this transaction over PayPal please send me your PayPal ID to send the money too.

Thanks,
Russ Lightsey

Tyco Mobile,



Thanks for the response.

Although you still did not provide a telephone or mobile number to contact you at.

I plan on sending money via Western Union tomorrow. Except I still am not 100% sure this is not a fraud. Is there anyway to prove this is not? If I could contact you by way of telephone this would make it easier.

Thanks,
Russ Lightsey

I will be sending $665USD via Western Union within the next 1-3 Days.

Can you please send me pictures of what I will be getting to confirm that you are not a scam. Will I be getting all white or all black models, or half and half?

Please respond ASAP, so I can send the payment over quick as possible.

Thank you for your business, and I will be making many orders in the future if this works out as planned.

Thanks,

Seems like an obvious fraud to me. Has anyone else done business with them. I don't understand how they can deny it so much that it's not a scam. They're selling iPod Nanos 2GB for wholesale price $66.50 per iPod. This is unreal isn't it?

[BillyA]

Yes. It is unreal. Western Union is the tip-off.

I think they have been discussed before.

You should just stop communicating with them. This is the Con-artist way. It is their job to convince you they are legit. Never use Western Union for purchase unless you personally know the company you are dealing with.

[rlightsey]

So there's absolutely no way to get my money back if I used Western Union?

[TTTrades]

Absolutely no way if they are Frauds. Contact Western Union, they will tell you themselves not to use them for these purposes.

to the name and shame! begone!
