Is this item sold? If not I am interested... (fat chance...:heh: )

[dennpett]

I purchased the camera on 11/5/02, you said you shipped it 11/11/02 and it's not here yet 11/18/02. You have not responded to my frequent polite attempts to get a tracking number or even the company you used to ship it.
You seem to have a decent reputation at the anandtech forums so I hope this is just a misunderstanding. Please respond.

[dave]

LoverOfTheNight is Alex Nguyen? Damn... When is he going to stop? :mad4: Someone needs to teach him a lesson that he'll never forget.

I had just finished reading the 2 year old thread regarding this Alex Nguyen and was wondering how many people are still getting scammed by this guy?

If you have been scammed, please post any and all information you can about this guy so that other people don't fall into the same trap.

If you have any of his aliases, names, email addresses, phone numbers, user ids/other websites, mailing addresses etc etc...any correspondence from this guy.

Please post it all here and I will take all the information and forward it to my contact who helped with a Nigerian government money laundering scheme when I was running my computer business. He works for the Secret Service in NJ, but obviously has the ability to make the wheels go.

If you prefer to email this information to me i will keep a log and forward it when i feel enough information has been provided.

In the meantime, the best thing to do is file a police report with your local police and file a police report with the local police in his hometown (if you happen to know it). You can also write letters to the State Attorney General's offices and the Better Business Bureau. Contact your credit card company, bank, paypal or whomever was involved with the actual financial transaction and let them know of the situation. If you pay with your credit card directly, most of them will reimburse you the full amount if you file a claim. However, if you use your credit card to fund your Paypal.com account and then paypal the money to these scam artists, you are NOT protected by your credit card. In the future, i would highly suggest sending an American Express Money Order or something from a large financial institution that protects us, the consumers, from fraud.

Always be sure to keep copies of all your transaction information and correspondence UNTIL you have received your goods and are satisfied with the purchase.

I keep a log of everyone I have ever sent money to. I have never had any problems, except for those Nigerians who TRIED to get me to launder 25 million dollars and in return I would receive $5 million. Yeah, right.

Hundreds if not thousands of businesses are approached by these con artists a year and are drawn to the money.

Don't be fooled by the rocks that these guys got, cuz they're still *******s from the block.

Alex Nguyen, consider yourself screwed.

[muffdivr]

Does anyone know his AIM handle? I've been contacted several times by someone that I think is this guy. He keeps asking to borrow money and tries to make me feel sorry for him as if he was homeless or something. I might have some info on this guy. I need to check some old phone records for his phone #. I know this guy is from Seattle.

[cheapie]

was one of them epsonstyle11? i forget what the other one was. i posted it here but the mod must have taken it off. i think it was swiss something.

[sbp]

You are talking about this thread cheapbast@rd: http://www.gotapex.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=52390

muffdivr: Nguyen is based in New York State now.
AIM: AngezofNitez

[beerdrinkingguy]

Wow, this guy seems never to quit. I just read all of the postings about him and I can not believe that this guy is still at it.

[muffdivr]

Here is a conversation with this guy:
Windnsea Rules: so what're you gonna do?
AngezOfNitez: don't know man
Windnsea Rules: hey
Windnsea Rules: what's your screen name on anandtech or gotapex?
AngezOfNitez: wanna go back to seattle, but no money to buy ticket
Windnsea Rules: isn't it loverofthenight?
AngezOfNitez: no
AngezOfNitez signed off at 2:50:51 PM.

As soon as I ask him about his identity, he signs off. He keeps talking like he is homeless and has no job. I decided to ask a couple of questions and he just signs off. I'm sure I won't be hearing him asking for money again. Hahahaha.

Loser!!!!!!

[ray]

If he was homeless and had no money, then i'm guessing he was using someone else's computer and their internet connection in their home.

If he's homeless and broke, then he's got friends and family who are watching over him.

my next question. what kind of idiot goes on a trip/move if they have no money in the first place?

[sbp]

Its just more bullsh1t from this scamming liar to get money and prey on people's sympathy.

[muffdivr]

I hope this guy get's caught and thrown in jail or anything. I'm sure he's some little kid who's gonna get raped by some big dude named "Tiny" when he get's caught.

[beerdrinkingguy]

He needs something, who knows all damage that he has caused.

[pr0d2]

this bastard ripped me off a long time ago. forget if it was AGN3D or Anantech, but he eneded up with my MiniDISC Recorder and i ended up paying a crapload of customs fee's.. wish i had kept all the information.

[ibuyufo]

Why don't you guys find him and shoot him out of his misery? :D

[Sir_Froggy]

You did what I couldn't do? Talking about killing the guy.

[The Happy Squirrel]

wow
i just read this thread and althought massively old
i ams till shocked that this guy is still being a dillweed

[Crazyace]

That dead beat used to be an editor at TWEAK3D I think. I am not 100 percent sure, but the last name was the same.
It's been awhile guys, but if it were me who was ripped, I would still be on the dirtbags trail

[sbp]

Nguyen has never been an editor of a site that we know of.

Note there was a rotten troll by the name of Samuel Tsegai {or Tsegazeab} that loved to using free tweak3d.net (http://www.tweak3d.net/email.shtml) email addresses to rip people off under.

Sadly a lot of victims do give up and that is something these scumbags count on.

Nguyen is a very popular Vietnamese last name. It's the equivalent of Smith.

[SnowSurfer]

I know this thread is old now, but if anybody knows if this guy is still supposedly in the NY area, I have friends in the DA's office here. I just need info and I can find him, especially if he is in NYC area. :fal:

[Showtime]

They are starting to prosecute people who commit that kind of fraud. Some people are actually getting their money back at AT. You just have to be willing to pursue it and call the local authorities. It's also federal in many cases and they have a detective assigned to internet fraud. Visit Trollhunters for more info on how to deal with getting gotten.

i got ripped off by the same guy or a copy, didnt give up though i actually spoke to someone who later became a friend (Works with/for paypal.com) he was able to freeze the copycats account and refund my money.

edit: this wasnt a 1-2week thing this was like 2-3months i think

escrow is also a good service to avoid problem such as this,

[chivas]

party on guys/girls. i'm new here (signed in new but not to the forum... great place BTW) but i always hate reading about scammers...
