    Hi, I'm new here. But I'm sorry to say, but HITandRUN, you may not get your hard drive. I'm Pinhead from BlazingPC and have some bad news about Thawaxshop...

    He has these exact same items for sale at BlazingPC. I bought and paid for the Tagan PSU over two weeks ago, and haven't heard from him since. One of my friends bought the Raptor drive and is having the same trouble. Take a look here:

    The topic at BPC has been closed because items were paid for, and Waxy hasn't replied myself OR the moderator that bought the hard drive.

    If any of you have any information about what's going on with Thawaxshop, it would be GREATLY appreciated if you could contact me. Thanks to all!!
    ThaWaxShop: you have exactly 24 hours to reply to both of these gentlemen before I turn over your personal information (email address + IP address) to them so they may begin taking legal action against you for internet fraud.

    I highly suggest you resolve this matter as quickly as possible. Until such a time as you have resolved it, your account is being put on administrative ban. You will have access to your PM's but you will not be able to post in the forum.

    We take these matters seriously, though it is up to each individual trader to protect themselves. Once again I plead with traders to ALWAYS get personal information from the other party including full name, address, telephone numbers for both home and work, and then to call each number at a random time to verify that the person on the other end is real and can be found as per their word.
    It seems that he has not only screwed three people, but he sold two people the same hard drive!! I paid for the power supply, and both Tuchan AND HITandRUN paid for the Raptor! This is BS and needs to be taken care of. Maybe the more people that know, the more likely he is going to step up and take care of the problem.

    BTW if you're wondering how I connected the two usernames (Thawaxshop and Rubiconx3), just take a look at his profile and look at his MSN, Yahoo!, and AIM messenger screennames.

    I would like you to put a warning out for buyers in the FS section, and maybe ban his IP because of several fraudulent incidents:

    Here's the update.

    Since its over 10 days and UPS disregard the shipping if he didn't send the package out and have UPS scan it

    This could be bad news for you



    racking Number: 1Z 505 WV9 03 9503 001 9
    Type: Package
    Status: Billing Information Received
    Shipped To: SHAWNEE, KS, US
    Shipped/Billed On: 08/07/2007
    Service: GROUND
    Weight: 8.00 Lbs

    Billed on : 8-7-07

    Today is 8-20-07

    You won't get your package nor Pinhead

    It's been 10 years and the user hasn't logged on since 2008.

    Do we still need this thread?
