Greetings All,

I have found this site very useful. Thanks all.

I have received a hacked player from smile_plus168 also. I won a 2GB player and recieved a hacked player. I opened it and inspected the memory chip. It is Samsung K9L8G08U0A. Samsung spec says this is an 8 Gigabit (=1 Gigabyte) chip.

It had all the classic sysmptoms. Once real memory limit reached, file corruption, errors etc.

The player reported to windows that it had 2Gb. A sticker on the back shows 2GB. I low level formated it as per the hack removal instructions on this site and now it shows 1Gb.

It is now working correctly, thanks to this site.

The seller blames his/her supplier and is very polite but ultimately does not want to do anything about it.

regards,

Dear all guys,

I come from Hong Kong. I despised those people selling hacked mp4. I am not sure if I can do something to stop it. Those sellers are really scum. I am sure not all the people behave like that. Honestly, I think complaining to ebay is not going to stop this freuds. May be filing a complaint to the Hong Kong Police is much more effective.

Thanks,
Jimmy

Dear all guys,

I have just made a phone call to the Hong Kong Police. The policeman just wanted to push the ball to the other department. He also asked me to complain to ebay. But I argued that the trading indeed happens in Hong Kong. The person selling hacked mp3 do know the mp3 players are hacked. You police can convict them and it depends very much on whether the police of Hong Kong will act on it. After a few minutes of arguing, he finally advised me to file a complaint to an email he gave me. That is cpu-dcd@police.gov.hk. Now I need a list of sellers who are resident in Hong Kong. May be we cannot stop all the scams, but at least we can stop some of them in Hong Kong!

Could you all sort off a list of sellers registered in Hong Kong?

Many thanks,
Jimmy

added another against jcl0924.. sent a message to him demanding a refund.. hoping i can get my money back..

the player was listed at 4gb.. after trying to get it to hold any files at all without corrupting itself I tried a format with the disk utility.. initially it read as 'disk format not recognized'.. a bit more research and a better format later the capacity reported at 17.8 mb (yeah.. blew my mind too).. which is a completely useless amount of memory..

Twich-
Below is what I wrote to the seller that ripped me off. I had to do some skip tracing work to get his personal info. As eBay only supplied me with partial contact information. I wrote this in the paypal dispute thingy. Also, I included a satellite photo of the sellers home. :twisted:
Well, this was enough to get my money back. And after reading his feedback. It doesn't sound like he generally refunds monies.
You could try the same. Just change the letter to reflect your situation.

Seller committed fraud by selling me a hacked mp4 player.
Auction stated it was a 4gig player. In fact, it was hacked to show this amount. In reality, it is only 474mb. That is not even half of one gig.
Seller is part of a multi-million dollar scam that is all over eBay.
If my money is not returned in a timely fashion. I will spare no expense to see this man prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
I will do this on princable alone.
Furthermore, if my concerns are ignored. I will file charges/complaints with (but, not limited to) the following agencies.
1. the IC3
2. the F.B.I
3. the District Attorney of Ventura county, CA
4. the State Attorney General of CA
5. the State Attorney General of MI
6. the BBB of California
7. the BBB of Michigan
8. the closest Police station to the sellers home
9. My local police station
10. eBay
11. And three more which I am not disclosing at this time
The sellers name is
Christopher F. Wake
2623 Antonio Dr.
Camarillo, CA 93010

I have signed the petition and urged everyone I know to do the same wether they were scammed or not. Thanks to Robjones from these forums and MRMUGGA on eBay I was alerted before I made a bid and lost my money.

I worked in Hong Kong for an electronics company and the stuff that is faulty, corrupted or old is thrown away. (Old stock items are thrown out to make way for new lines, and often these items have never even reached Europe or US/ Canada at this point, this is how upto date these guys are! An example of this is the box of 500GB Blu Ray Discs that I brought home with me. Yes 500GB not 50!)

Workers take the stuff and sell it through eBay etc and they just hope that they get the old stock instead of faulty goods to make an extra bit cash with. People see the item working but don't realise that the capacity is short or that the memory contains a virus etc. They just think they are getting a great deal. eBay knows all about this and yet they do nothing to stop it.

I urge you to give this a mention to everyone you know and to promote this petition as I will be doing on my own website, goneglobal.co.uk
Better to pay extra and get reputable goods.
