Hi Guys,
Just wanted to share my bad feeling with this...
I've been ripped off... and wanted to let you all know about this guy, so noone else would be ripped off like me.
A few months ago, I started to look for a jango helmet... As the FP were no avaiable, I moved to the next one in the chain who could offer casted off originals, that guy from Australia
A few friends have bought helmets from this guy before, and more or less, with more or less delays, and with some or not much problem they received the helmet, and they recomended me this guy.
The maker is BENTLEY OTOOLE from Australia, also known as Sculpturedesignstudio. It has a website where he offers all his products (you can do a google search with sculpturedesignstudio and you will see it). He has many other nicks, like kiddie-kenner and others... He also sold on ebay, but the ebay account I had was closed...
The thing is that I ordered a CC Jango helmet last Mar 27th '08. We exchanged a few emails before actually order it... he answered me on the spot, really fast, even like 3 emails in a day... BUT when he received the money, he dissapear from the world, and NEVER answered any of my emails... Time passed... and NOTHING... No emails, no helmet, nothing... I emailed him with different emails accounts, hotmail, gmail, my work email, and NOTHING... never replied.
Then I contacted the payment company... (as he didnt accept to be paid with Paypal, he said he had been ripped off etc etc... and he sent me an invoice with a company called PAYMATE... I accepted and paid it... and nothing). When I contacted this PAYMATE company, they told me they will take care of the situation, and send him the email I send the company, telling them about the fraud...
Then automatically he answered the email to me and to the company and told this:
You can imagine all of this is a LIE !!!
He told me he would take pics of the helmet finished before shipped... (never got any pics). He told me he will give me the tracking number of the helmet... NEVER GOT IT... He didnt send anything but as he was a little pressed by Paymate, he said that...
This email was on July 4th... Almost 2 months has passed and I have nothing...
Again, I feel really bad because is the first time something like this happens to me, and well, I jsut wanted to warn you all...
BEWARE of this bastard...
I feel like I cant do anything... and that it's really really easy to steal on internet...
I have no words, I feel bad (even more now that I'm having now some economic problems, almost bankrupt... but well, I guess this is life).
No more, excuse me for this NEVERENDING post, but just hope to help somebody.
