Fraud exposed.... and he didn't like it
 

I purchased a "4gb" ChiPod Nano on ebay and ended up another victim of the memory hack. I have one of the units with the single 2gb chip inside.

I left the seller negative feedback and he wasn't too pleased.

Heres the feedback....

Lol, funny right? He sent me an even more amusing email....

That email has "guilty" written all over it. My response.....

Here's his ebay link....

I could care less if he refunds my money or not, I was just happy to leave him the feedback I did. I'll probably use my paypal buyer protection to try and get my money back anyways.

Oh boy, he must be extremely afraid of the damage my feedback will cause to his sales. Here's his reply to my demands, lol.....

Should I take his offer or let him burn? I think I'll let him burn, or demand my refund plus return shipping first before I send back anything.

EDIT: I just did a search of the company on the return address he gave me and found some interesting info. He claims to be a "stupid seller" that buys from mainland China, but the company on the return address "On Chase Limited" is the actual manufaturer of this bogus device.

Here is quote from Alibaba.com about On Chase Limited....

He is a complete fraud and my ebay feedback will stay just as it is to show others his plans to rip them off.

Another reply by me.....

OMG, wtf does this mean? Is he trying to get away!!!

Looks like he's still selling them on eBay.

Looking at this feedback, he's had a lot of positive feedback. I wonder whether buyers haven't completely filled up their player yet to find out whether it's hacked or not.

I think I'm going to start up a thread for 'hacked' eBay buyers to hopefully warn others about this sort of thing.

Lucky for you it's a 2GB chip as I've heard stories from others that they've had a 128MB chip instead!! Imagine the surprise thinking you bought a 4GB player and only getting 128MB??!

Hey admin, thats a great idea, I had mentioned about asking you to start a thread for hacked players in one of my posts earlier this week so Im glad you have decided to go ahead with that. It will be a good tool for people to use before they buy a player on ebay - well for those of whom who will discover mympxplayer.com before they buy - which helps them by saving them time, the headache and money ofcourse!

Yeh, that's the difficult bit. Majority of the times, people come to the site AFTER they've bought the player looking for help and explanation as to why the memory has decreased....... by then alittle too late.

Hopefully having the thread might help those who found the site before they buy it................

Re: Fraud exposed.... and he didn't like it
 

Yes, I was one of the unlucky ones that discovered this site after the fact.

As far as that sellers other feedback is concerned, I'm sure is has a lot to do with ignorant buyers. I mean that in the nicest way. A lot of people who by them probably have little knowledge of the workings of such a device and when they encounter the memory corruption past 2gb the prolly just say "oh well".

Another reason could be that most people bought units advertised as less than 4gb and where actually the size advertised.

Here are some more email replies by this seller. He is really squirming.

another.....

:roll:

well, i know basically i agree with your opinion, i come across this forum after i've bought my mp4 player. how do i know this forum? well because the software they provided in their cd not functioning, so i have to use the source of internet. and i find this forum really helpful and immediately i registered myself.

before i buy my mp4, i have do some research as well in the internet, know their features and try to find as many info as possible like capasity, screen size, and format they play. my only comparison is ipod nano. i prefer my mp4 to have big screen size, big capasity at lease 512 MB and as thin as possible. also i wish it can play wmv format. thats my minimum requirement. i end up buying ipod clone with 1G capasity and 18 screen size. my regret after buying it, is it's not TFT screen. the salesman never mention this when selling the product to me. anyway i don't blame him. because that really will confuse me more if he told me that point. he might not even been able to close the sales. haha

Re: Fraud exposed.... and he didn't like it
 

I believe we should start a thread of ebayers who have been found to sell hacked players so we can get them down to a list so people interested in buying one would know who not to buy from...

starting with:
mediabsolute
(he wanted to give me 10$ back for a 94$ player because "one of the chips may be broken" and that was "the difference between a 2GB and a 4GB")

Re: Fraud exposed.... and he didn't like it
 

Well I just received mine via the HK trail and I can confirm it will take 4 gb, was the first thing I did load it up.

Sound is good with a descent set of earphones.
Manual is a joke thou and the mini cd with drivers is also a waste of space, I would suspect most problems are due to lack of knowledge being unable to format and navigate the menus, but I am very happy with mine.

I would be very careful discrediting this particular seller they are shipping lots of units
And are making a lot of money upset them at your peril

For my MP4 which is exactly the same as h8isgr8. i cannot put anything on the device as i am unable to format it. Please help!!!! I would accept if it was 2gb. I just need to know how to start off. Thanks. Please reply
