Do not buy anything from a guy name Bryan Lee, his email address is [email protected]
He is a massive scammer, and this is what happened to me.
I went on a site looking for iphones, he was listed and had "promo deals" where if you buy one you get one free etc. So I thought this may be alright, I contacted him via email and then he added me on MSN Messenger.
I had a feeling he was a scammer however i kept it going and just thought maybe it might be true. Well i was wrong.
He's very pushy, always asking for your shipping details so he can send out the phone asap.
He said the iphone will cost $300, so i paid that via western union, and he said the goods have now been shipped. But the thing is he kept saying its in australia already, which would be impossible to ship from USA to Australia in a day.
I asked for my sales invoice and tracking number, but he said you cant get it yet. Which is stupid because if you ship something you get a tracking number straight away.
Then he emails saying theres a problem with the package in customs, you must pay taxes on it, and i thought that can happen, so i paid it, and then he emails me saying when they packed the goods, they put too many iphones in there, you'll have to pay the difference and you can get them all. Then the package got lost! And what they could do, there was another package sent to australia that i can take a phone from but theres more charges. Eventually i just gave up because hes a liar, and a scam do not deal with bryan lee, he is listed on most websites where you put your items of sale up.
When you have to send payments, these are the accounts Linda Flowers in Conroe Texas, another person who is situated in Nigeria, and the most recent one J. Douglas Nicholas Melbourne Beach Florida.
The last thing he asked me was to pay for a receiver's license which must be government approved before you can receive any goods and this will cost 1000USD, which i was like WTF! I asked for more information about this and if you need such a license there should be some information online about it, but he said i'll tell you about it. It wont be online. Which is bull coz everything is online!
He kept saying he will talk to the manager of DHL and when i requested the email or phone number of the DHL manager he wouldnt give it to me. Finally he gives me an email address of the guy but its a yahoo email address, so he just made that up on the spot! I'm not that stupid! I had to pay another 150USD for a tracking number to be released by DHL and I just paid it because he kept saying this is the final thing, so i hoped he was telling the truth but wasnt. I ended up calling DHL in america to ask a few questions and they told me everything he has said they dont deal that way. They never ask for payment for release of tracking number, never do they have an accountant that uses western union for payment, so i yelled at him, and demanded my money back but i know i wont be able to get it back, so i hope i can stop other people from dealing with this chronic liar!
