[around the end of July] I fist found out about this company on eBay I wanted to find some Nike Air Force Ones on whole Sale. I found an auction of 6 pairs of black air forces and on the bottom was a website link to get different styles and colors (www.ajkicks. A11.net) then I clicked on sellers more items and he had a similar auction with a different website link (www.urbangearutopia. 9f.com). I figured since the auction said the owner of the site is currently over seas of the military and he left his co-owner the company, that the site would be legit.
I liked www.urbangearutopia. 9f.com better because it had a better deal 6 pairs for 145$ (They had no policy about US Customs or how they are not responsible if they were to get seized but that comes later on in the story) I emailed the company ([email protected]) and asked all the questions I could ask to see if the person's (Steve Hywevg) company was legit.
I even went on Google and found out this joker posted that he made business and everything cam out fine (Christopher Meeks) he even left his email ([email protected]) on the post. I asked him if the company was legit and he said yes. So I finally decided to order my 6 pairs of Nike Air Force Ones for 145$.
[Aug 9] I sent my money via Money Order (MoneyGram) to try to stay on the safe side in case they were frauds so they can't charge me twice if I were to use a credit card.
I sent an email to Steve Hywevg ([email protected]) and said the payment was confirmed and was picked up Aug 15 (I called MoneyGram to see if my money was picked up)
I waited for a month with no replies only an email asking for my Social Security Number. Why would they need my SS#? I kept sending emails requesting for a Tracking Number and I even left my cell phone number so he can contact me in person.
[23 Aug ] www.urbangearutopia. 9f.com site has been removed and moved to www.ajkicks. A11.net
I investigated on Christopher Meeks and his post on a website. I noticed that the website recorded his IP Address (65.31.62.122) and entered that on Google and 3 others sites came up with the same IP address and claim that he made business with all 4 sites. (www.ajkicks. A11.net) (www.urbangearutopia. 9f.com) (www.freshretros.com) (www.onlyauthentickickz. 9f.com)
[September 11] Steve Hywevg called me introducing himself as "urbangear" and told me he would give me my tracking number via email a couple of minutes after we hung up. I asked him since the shoes were being shipped from a warehouse in China would they be Taxed in US Customs. He didn't answer and hung up.
[September 11 (a minute later)] I received an email saying that US customs has seized my shoes.
[September 12 - 22] Later on he had the nerve to ask for 130$ more. I said no unless he gave me my tracking number. He said he couldn't (he gave me no reason why). So I said Hell No either I get my shoes or my money back. He said he is sorry and can not do anything unless I pay the 130$ and I should have read the policy statement (which there was none) he claims it said they are not responsible for shoes being seized by US Customs. And how he is willing to help me out if I send him 130$, he also said he can't refund something he doesn't have (WTF!?). Final email sent 9/22
I have found the PO Box address, Phone # on this website when it was up (www.freshretros.com)
K. Mon
Po box 1051
Miamisburg Ohio 45343
Phone #: 716-480-8048
I know they are related because of the same format, pictures of the shoes, and IP address of Christopher Meeks (65.31.62.122)
