I knew I remembered the name Corpekata from somewhere else. I've seen him on cheapassgamer and once we did a transaction and we added each other as Steam friends to exchange gifts.

He's under trading time out over at cheapassgamer.

He was just put under trading timeout earlier today after the discovery of all these scumbag moves on his part there already, and then now the revelation of all this scumbag stuff here, so yeah...we'll see how it goes if he ever comes back to explain himself both here, and there.

This is why people should only buy video cards from me ;)

Your deals must be insane because I've never seen you post in this thread ever.

Sorry about what happened clogger, I still get miffed every once in a while about me getting scammed a few months back over a ps4 in this thread. I know that feel, but him doing it to multiple people, hopefully justice will be served in some way.

WTS:

NINTENDO NEW 3DS Hyrule gold. 4gb SD, charger and dragon quest 8.

Firmware is latest. Top screen IPS bottom TN. Great condition. No scratches.

175 for all. Or 150 without game.
 
Damn looks like that guy was doing small transactions for a while to build up trust and then decided to cash out by doing some mass scamming. That's fucked up.

The Witcher 3 - Hearts of Stone Limited Edition (PS4) - $40 OBO

Comes with a code for the expansion, a guide for Gwent, and 154 cards. It's opened, but the cards are still sealed and the game tokens are still in their cardboard encasing (except for two that popped off on their own). The code is unused. I basically just opened it to see what was inside and it's been closed ever since.

US only please.

Intel Pentium G4400 (Like New) :$40
GSkill 4GBx1 DDR4 2400 (Like New) $25
Sandisk 128GB SATA3 (Like New) $35
ASRock B150M-HDV LGA1151 Motherboard (Like New) $40

Take it all for $115 or CPU/RAM/MOBO for $90

So all of these have gone through like 5 power cycles or something ridiculous like that. So I'm not kidding on the "Like new" condition. Boxes are included for MOBO/CPU.

WTS
Intel 5820k + MSI X99 Gaming 7 Motherboard: $320
Corsair 32GB(4GBx8) DDR4 2666 RAM: $240 (or 4 sticks for $130)

Not much to say about this one other than the 5820k has been OCd to a modest 4.0GHz. Haven't had any problems with these two parts. They've been solid. Box included for the CPU and MOBO. Additional accessories for MOBO are also included (SATA Cables/SLI bridge/IO Shield) .
 
WTS Amazing Spider-Man: Web of Fire for the Sega Genesis 32X - $375

The box is a bit frayed around the corners, and the interior catridge holder thing is pretty beat up, but other than that it's all there and in one piece.

That's pretty much the MO for some eBay scammers. Build up their rep by selling cheap $1 trinkets, then sell big-ticket items at great prices for a huge rip-off.

Oh my God I bought the Windforce 1080 off Corpekata for $380... Am I fucked? I was seriously budgeting around that.

God what a piece of shit. Fuck that guy.

Gonna talk to Google and my bank but I'm fucking fuming right now. He said it'd be shipped out Monday at the latest but it's been radio silence since Friday and I was getting increasingly antsy about it every goddamn day.
 
Well, I have some good news: Google approved my dispute and will be refunding me the money.

To anyone else that may have been affected, please take the time to open a dispute with Google Wallet. I was extremely detailed in my description, although I'm not sure if it actually made a difference. Still, I would be as detailed as possible. There was a 1,000 character limit and I used pretty much all of it.

Here's to hoping that others have the same good fortune.

Can you PM me what you told them? I assume our stories are all pretty similar so I want to get an idea on how to describe the situation. I promise I won't just copy/paste in case that makes a difference.

I would be glad to, but I can't seem to access my original message now. Basically though, I just described in detail exactly what happened. I gave them exact dates for when the transaction originally occurred and also documented the exact dates for when he contacted me and I attempted to contact him. I also let them know that it appeared he had sold the exact item to multiple users at the same forum and told them it was NeoGAF.

I'm hoping that, because a number of people have filed the same dispute, they will decide to just refund us all. I hope they go after him for fraud as well, but I feel like that's probably out of my hands now.

Assuming everyone is okay with it, I think I am going to create a user guide for all the different payment options and add it to the OP. It's not going to say to only use one option, but will instead just detail what protections are available for both Buyers and Sellers with each option.

Awesome news. Hope everyone gets their money back and somehow google makes him pay for it so he doesn't get anything out of this (or even better, pursue criminal charges).

40 seller feedback and then he does this...pretty scary.

I actually just received another email from the Google support team, after sending them an email thanking them for their help. I was kind of surprised to hear back, but the lady said she had gotten scammed online as well and understood where I was coming from.

She then stated that the user was now being actively investigated by the Google support team and would no longer be allowed to scam anyone else. Good news for sure, and hopefully that means that everyone else can get refunded as well.

He still gets the money though :(

Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of. I'm sure they'll attempt to reverse all the transactions, but he would have already terminated the account if he is smart. Hopefully they have some way of going after him for it.

Agreed. Just glad you got your money back...surprised, but glad haha!

If he gets to walk away with the money he'll get sent to collections which will have a worse longer term impact.

These big financial companies don't mess around.

It's one of the (many) reasons why I don't think that Steam codes should count for this thread (or at least have some sort of feedback indicator - like "Digital item" versus "Physical item" or something).
They're basically worthless, clutter things up, and are an easy way for someone to get a 50+ rating for under $30.

Sorry lttp....... Was the scammer also a GAFer or just the deal was posted here? Hope everyone gets refunds ASAP! :


Edit:
thanks for the reply GreenArrow, what a piece of shit. Detective GAF and CAG are usually swift and brutal. GET EM!

Good to hear. Clearly he thinks he can get away with it with no ramifications. Sounds like he's about to find out otherwise.

Contacted Google Wallet support, they said they're doing an investigation on him and that I should hear back at most within the next few days. Fingers crossed.

listen to the mad man
Very sorry to hear about anyone who was a victim of fraud on the part of a user. Although there is nothing we can do as moderators to solve the situation [since, obviously, caveat emptor and we don't control Google Wallet or whatever], rest assured the account has been disabled permanently and we have recorded his details to try to catch future re-registrations. We do not have an accurate name or any information that would be useful in disputes beyond what you would already have as part of your payment, and the email does not seem like it would be easy to connect to a real life human, so unfortunately I don't think we can be of too much assistance here, but we do have IP addresses and other mechanisms to try to catch re-regs.

Cloggerdude notified me that he's writing something about payment method pro/cons, which I think is a good idea, and in the mean time I personally only pay with Paypal (and never paying Friends/Family) because they have probably the fastest and easiest dispute resolution policy.

If anyone else was affected, I encourage you to come forward here and coordinate with other victims as part of your dispute claim with Google Wallet.
