Filed under: Black List
It’s bound to happen. There’s no hiding it. There’s no stopping it. Where idiots gather, there they shall hunt. The weak, the wealthy, whether you be white or black, they do not discriminate. Are you scared yet? If you said yes, you’re one of the dumb fucks that these guys prey on, and if you said no, well, chances are you just don’t care.
I speak of scam artists, and more specifically those souls which lurk around the dark corners of what we call, the intarn3t. In this digital day and age, everything has become less and less personal and means of communication have been replaced by e-mail, instant messenger, and text. Since a lot of transactions are now handled by electronic merchants, scamming someone’s money has never been easier.
So what shall one fear more than these sophisticated thieves of the world wide web? Scammer Type B! Before I describe to you “Scammer Type B”, the paragraph above described what I would like to call, you guessed it, “Scammer Type A”(IE the guys that will jack you and vanish). Scammer Type B on the other hand is a moron who will take your money, earn your trust, then completely abuse the new bond by telling you a bunch of bullshit. If you’re still confused, not to worry because i’m just about to give you a few examples of what I would like to start and call, “The Industry Blacklist”!
1. Hiro @ J On Demand – Having been around for years now, Hiro has been a known scammer, and somehow is still on the loose currently in hiding. Hiro is a typical Type B Scammer. After taking your money and spewing off a random ETA, he’ll secretly go off and pocket the money or use it to purchase prior ordered items for other customers. A typical 4-6 week wait based on Hiro’s history typically will turn into a 30-40 week wait to supposedly even arrive at customs. When confronted about the long ridiculous wait time, Hiro typically talks his way out of the confrontation and convinces the customer for more time. Personally I have known friends to have waited years and still have not have heard from Hiro about parts, yet morons still purchase through him in hopes that they may actually be THE ONE that receives their order on time. Hiro has also been known to attempt to scam shops as well asking wholesale purchasers to pre-order items from his supposed $600k worth of merchandise on its way over from Japan.
The list will continue as I have time to update, but what i’ve learned from this matter is, if you’re looking for some quick money and you have access to the internet, the import industry is where it’s at. Where else would people still give a known scammer money even after all the claims and stories they’ve heard. Bunch of fucking brainless sheep the industry has become.
