Sl-6000l On Amazon For $300 Right Now!
« Reply #151 on: December 07, 2004, 12:34:39 am »
Hi everyone. I'm a new user here, and I happened to have purchased a couple of these from jpettins before I found this website. You can imagine my relief at finding a bunch of other users who are in the same situation as myself.

It doesn't make it better if we get ripped off, but I have to say I find comfort in the fact that Amazon cannot possibly give us a hard time about a refund with this, since there are so many of us who are in touch about it.

Thanks to all of you who are doing the work to try to track this guy down. As soon as I know it's a fraud, I can start looking for other sources for new Zauruses (read: ebay).

Can you give us some information on how you arranged them to give you a refund? Do they have further reason to believe it is indeed a fraud?

I wonder how many 6Ks this guy managed to "sell". He certainly did get a captive market.

I just sent them this e-mail.
should I call for a 3rd time today do you think?

This Item was sold inexpensively by a seller who had only been on amazon for 2 weeks. His previous items seem to have been low budget, sold to build a rating. His recent ratings, since his large sale of expensive pda's, have been bad. Amazon's at-a-glance rating system didn't indicate the brevity of his membership.All of his sales are closed. He has not responded to emails since last friday. There are quite a few other customers that are concerned that this is a probable internet scam. I would like the seller jpettins to be verified, as NO customer has been able to verify his existence since last friday- perhaps amazon's additonal info will make it possible. If the customer cannot be verified to currently exist and intend to complete his transactions by amazon ie if this is a scam, I would like a refund speedier than the usual A to Z 30 plus days in view of this being a crime rather than a botched transaction.

I'm debating whether or not to call, myself, or if I should wait until morning.

I called. I got half back. get to keep it if it comes. get the rest back the 24th if it doesn't.
Of course the guy I talked to had a thick indian accent...   I might have o pay full price if it comes, but I don't think so.

don't get me wrong, I'm pist about this too... i just love the minute by minute updates... it's too funny, in a sad sort of way.

I'm going to wait a couple days to see how a couple of you fare with getting refunds... plus I'm still hoping that I'll get a tracking number soon....

GEEZ! Hadn't checked up on this thread for about 24hrs and DANG it's huge!  LOL, I see offroad's point of view- we are DEFINITELY acting like a bunch of Linux/Mac no-life geeks that have begun a holy crusade against the monuments of evil!
On the other hand this particular person IS evil in my lowly opinion, so suffer our divine wrath he SHOULD!  In a strange way this threads activity since my last post has lifted my spirits above the humiliation point and now I'm just friggin ANGRY.  ANGRY beyond all reason that someone has violated the trust of my friends and myself.
Keep the facts pouring in, I mean heck, if the ZUG crowd can't provide enuf info and data to get this guy clamped then I doubt there exists a group that can. Before I forget I would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone who ISN'T mired in this mess for pitching in the expertise and time to help those who HAVE been victimizedby this crook.  Once again this kind of brotherhood spirit is what makes this community so great.

Keep your chins up,

-NeuroShock

LOL... ok so I blew off the evening for this. But that was my thought.  If we have peole here who make and customize os's for fun... we should be able to put some pressure on this scammer.

Hel I REALLY wanted the as yet un mentioned 3500 which I imagine to be a 3k with the 6k's usb and screen, and a 600mhs a pxa270g more rom space (yeah.)...etc
till then I really like my 5600

I'm not going to call you anything but dilligent!

I think it's great that you're able to vent and post your thoughts about this... that IS what these forums are for

Plus, it's nice to know that we won't be totally screwed.. especially if people are getting refunds already.

And you're right.. I am reading them... refreshing the thread every couple minutes   It's like watching a car crash... you just can't take you eyes away from it

I rarely post on this site, and one of my few threads is single-handedly the stupidest question that's likely ever been asked here, (the result of too much caffeine and no sleep), but this entire thread is making me want to become more active here. Good luck to all of you. I too, was considering this, but I can't exactly spare much money right now. Also refreshing every couple of seconds, good luck to all.
