Angry Scammed!

ss2k2 (Marcus Song) stole $225 USD from me. He was selling a new Intl. H340, and he had verification, but fooled me. He had auction feedback on this site and also sent me this picture:

Of course, with feedback and picture verification, I thought he checked out well. His detailed descriptions of his plans to ship also caused me to buy into the scam. He used the following emails: sing.song.44 at gmail.com -and- mjsong2k2 at gmail.com . So all and all I lost $225 USD . I was going to sell my H320 and upgrade to the 340 for little money, but now I just lost that money. So, beware of Marcus Song and ss2k2.

These are the emails he sent that fooled me:

Hi,

This is ss2k2 from MisticRiver. I could do your offer of 225USD, but do you mind 10-day shipping instead of 2-day shipping? This brings it out to roughly the same as it was when I offered 275USD with 2-day shipping. If 10-day shipping is fine with you-- it's still tracked and insured, with signature on delivery-- then I'm fine with 225USD.

Thanks again.
Marcus

It's brand new. Yes, it comes with all accessories-- it is NOT the 'Lite' model-- it's the 40Gb h340 with all the included accessories. And yes, when you change the language it's like normal-- actually, this model also has USB OTG over the US model. It's too late to mail it out today, so I'll do it tomorrow-- my PayPal address is ss2k2 at hotmail.com. I'll ship it out tomorrow morning and send you the tracking number on my break.

Ah-- one last thing; do you have a preference for a courier? FedEx/UPS/Purolator? Otherwise I'll just Purolate it.

Thanks again!
Marcus

and then, when I asked for the tracking number...
Hi--

Sorry to keep you waiting! I'm on a business trip at the moment, but I'll be back in the morning so I'll be sure to grab you the tracking number right away.

Thanks,
Marcus

Then, after a few days, I received the following PM:

I am sorry to say, but I will have to refund you of all funds that you paid. Please forward the PayPal payment reciept to mjsong2k2 at gmail.com and I will issue a refund within 6-8 days.



So now it's been ten days, no contact, no money.
