Conned by Platinum-team/Midlap

[steveandali62]

I have been conned by Midlap, who is now trading on ebay as platinum-team. I know this because I have asked for a refund from them, there reply was was from Platinum-team instead of superteam.

I get the impression they build up a whole network of user names and email addresses to sale these hacked players. Doing this they just shut down one account and start another.

I have raised a claim with Paypal over the 2 players that I bought and am asking for a full refund.

The players I bought were supposed to be 4GB but turned out to be 2GB. I have done all the procedures to reset the players to their proper memory and they are now working fine. I will accept a 50% refund from seller and keep the players because the players are now working fine without the hack. If I get the 50% refund the players would have cost me £28 this seems ok for 2 x 2GB players that work perfect at the moment.

May I add that I seem to have become a bit of a vigilanti on ebay telling everybody about the scams through messages. But ebay has now blocked me sending messages to ebay members that i'm not connected with.

I would just like to with everybody who is trying to get a refund the best of luck, and keep up the good work exposing these fraudsters.

Merry Xmas to everyone.

steveandali62,

Thanks for sharing this.
I certainly hope you get a good result from it.

Good on you for trying to tell everyone else on eBay as well. Hopefully we can get the message through to more people about these fraudsters.
