Please tell us that this is not you. Please just defend yourself. You have been here for two years, have almost 1900 posts.You assisted numerous people here and have people here that will swear by you. Defend yourself, tell us that it is a case of mistaken identity. That the fact that you and jakeypoo are both selling Tilts on online forums and you both have the same email address and you are both 23 and you both live in Ohio, and you both joined xda and HoFo within a day of each other back in April of 2006 is just a coincidence.

Tell us this isn't you, It is a big mistake that it is ruining your reputation. Please?

LMFAO htanks for that denco7 you just brightened my day
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kingsizeriz:
hahaha

cuboosh - just give neo and the other one his money back..

what is the point? your so obviously a con man, have so obviously been exposed.. can easily get legal action taken against you due to your stupidity of publically posting things and conning someone with so much respect on another forum.

just give up! bloody scum
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dantegl36:
Wow

I read through every page of the thread on HOFO and can only say... wow. It's sad that people like "jakeypoo" even exist in the world. It's terrible when you open up yourself to trusting the person standing next to you and they take from you and leave you with nothing. If I lived near that person in Ohio I'd go to his house on your behalf Neo001. Sorry his happened you and any others that he may have scammed. 350 is a lot of money to steal from someone.

One person suggested that he worked for Att. It seems as if there are enough pieces of the puzzle here to put together something sweet. From what I read the location of where he lives is known. Would it be possible to search and find out if there is an Att center in that area? If so isnt his true name known as well? This is a pretty serious legal issue. If he is an att employee and is selling false products claiming them to be another certain att product I believe the company would like to know that. Hell you can fax over a copy of he entire thread to them as solid proff. Or hell present this case to a lawyer haha. Press this issue to the MAX!

Also what ever came from the dispute you started with Paypal Neo001? I figured they would have done something by now, but I guess that may take some time on their end. Fear no friend justice will prevail. Sorry you have to wait though.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] glennordway:
This is a shame... to be honest; it looks to me as if this guy works for AT&T either at a corporate location or at an Authorized Retailer. I am a District Manager at an Authorized Retailer in Jacksonville Florida, and i will say that if he can readily get his hands on AT&T products, he definitely works for one. The cost on the tilt is upwards of $500 and the cost on the 2610 is $60. So, he is buying or stealing phones from his employer, and selling them to everyone under false pretense. I bet if you were to take the IMEI number from the phones you received and contact AT&T Customer Care, you could find out what dealer originally purchased the phone and get a better lock on where this individual is. It would take a lot of legwork, but if you say to customer care that you purchased a phone from someone who scammed you, you could possibly get it moved up the AT&T Corporate ladder and get the dealers license pulled for dishonest practice.

The person in question may not be presenting himself as an employee, but I guarantee that if he were doing something wrong, his employer wouldn’t want to have someone working for him that gives his company a bad name. I would personally terminate an individual who was ripping off any of my current or potential future customers as that would give me and my company a bad name.

FYI… In the state of Florida, Grand Theft (in this industry at least) is anything valued at over $300, I don’t know about Ohio, but if jakeypoo wants to try his luck, let him. But see if you can move the ball with the proper authorities and make it so that your loss of $300 plus is worth it at least.

Just my .02 cents.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] :
Yay! for smart people. FYI paypal takes a very very long time to review claims. They are worthless. I had a little fiasco with a buyer. Evidence clearly contradicted the buyers statements. I ended up sucking up a loss, refunding buyer, received the brand new item i sent buyer damaged. Luckily I bought a replacement warranty on item. Paypal is safe but then again pain in the rear if you run into problems.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] livefastdiefun87:
as much as I hate to say it about a fellow XDa-dever I think your rep has been severly tarnished both here and on HoFo. What you did sucks plain and simple
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Neo001:
Thanks for all the support guys !! I know for a fact I am not going to get my money back , because this POS has stated so , but what I want is for him to not scam anybody else , he should not be in any forum , and about how many posts he has . . . he could have 1000000 for all I care , but nevertheless he is a thief , coward and a no shame POS !!

Ok this is just so freaking unbelievable!!!

Neo's thread on HoFo just got deleted, wiped, gone, caput!!!! :confused:

I really thought Mods over at HoFo where a bit more intelligent and unbiased.

I really hope this doesn't happen over here!!!

Crooks like Jakeypoo need to be exposed!!!

HoFo mod... If you think you got rid of all the evidence to cover-up this crook you are wrong!!!

Why delete this thread when you could have just closed it?

Please you owe us an explanation here!

Bollocks

I'm the person/mug who bought the phone in that thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=393906). I recently lost my Kaiser and needed a replacement.

Have just noticed he has completly wiped the first post on that thread (and changed the title to 'please close this thread' = covering his tracks???).

The pictures in the thread were of a tilt and it was clear all the way I was purchasing a tilt. Thinking about it I never saw any feedback from people who had recieved there goods?

Have sent him $375 through Paypal and got a tracking number, and whatever is in the package is at Stanstead airport and should be delivered tomorrow.

Done a bit of a search on him before I sent the money, and it seemd he was buying cheap broken tilts from ebay and getting them replaced through HTC via the warranty.

With his repuatation and experience on this board I thought he was trustworty.

Will let you know what turns up tomorrow.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] speedme:
It looks very fishy to me.....I think he is deleting is tracks because he feels everyone is breathing in his neck...

if you don't have anything to hide, you won't have to delete anything.

So my 2 cents : this guy is really the SOB from HoFo !

Just let us all find out where he's living....

he can delete everything, but thank god everything on internet is being cached (e.g. Google Cache) !
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] livefastdiefun87:
Well its already known about his personal details but there is no need to publish them on a forum. The fact of the matter is that he fraudulantly sold serveral phones claimimng they were HTC Kaisers when infact they were just old Nokias. Now he is trying to cover up his tracks by changing e-mails addresses and deleting previous threads started by himself. We just have to admit that cuboosh really is jakeypoo. The same lying scumbag who was conning people over on HoFo and he *WAS* a valued member on both forums
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Neo001:
Guys . . . what did I told you !! this POS is a freaking thief !! anywho , the stupid mod in HoFo deleted my post . . . makes you wonder huh ?? I just can believe they will do something like that , that was my whole case !! he was admitting he wasn't returning my money or sending a phone , what gives ?? is the mod in to it ?? is it because I am from Mexico (by the way I am proud to be Mexican , even though I was born and raise in LA California ) I just can freaking believe it , Vinnie1 please do keep us updated ok ?? thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cbreze:
Neo, Been following this and so sorry for you to have this kind of trouble. Scammers are the lowest of the low. Yet they are in our midst. I am so glad you are following thru with this. Many probably would not. It is a very good learning experience for all of us to be very careful when entering into any type of similar dealing. I feel your pain and frustration as I have been scammed myself as so have many of us.

Keep on this guys ass and like a bulldog, don`t let go. He can only be sorry he ever scammed you. Hopefully whatever happens his scamming days can be numbered. These types always come to a bad end.

I will continue to follow this, and I support you 100%.

Thank you for the warning!

I almost bought a phone from him too! He sent me an email 2 days ago about how he had a buyer who backed out and that the tilt is available for $310 shipped. Good thing I started reading the threads here and at HOFO. Whew!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
I think the mods shouldn't allow selling on this site at all. Thats what ebay is for and ebay/paypal have ways of protecting people. XDA does not have any of this in place and shouldn't be treated like a back ally.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Rayan:
Here's their explanation:

"... The thread was removed simply to be reviewed by the staff. Is it too much to ask that you give us a few days to do our job? I apologize if the response was a little slow, but it is a holiday weekend and everyone is probably a little busier than usual"

:rolleyes:

Hoping Paypal can sort things out, about to start the dispute process now.

Please avoid this scum at all costs.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] NotATreoFan:
Anyone Who Was Ripped Off:

If your "item" was shipped to a US address, contact your local FBI field office and file a complaint with them; they take fraudulent online sellers like this very serious.

I went through an issue several years ago with a Nokia 6620 phone I bought on eBay. This was during the time that Cingular had just purchased AT&T, and I was assured that the phone was unlocked and compatible with Cingular SIMs. Not only did that turn out to be false, but the phone had become permanently locked since you could only enter an incorrect unlock code 7 times. I sent her the phone back, but never saw any of my $250 that I paid.

She was dumb enough to ship the phone to me from her company's mailroom. So 3 months go by with nothing by emails of empty promises, and being the vindictive prick I can be, I looked up her company's website, found out their main fax number and the name of the CEO, and sent her a fax (CC'd to him).

She got fired. She still didn't pay me. I called the Philadelphia FBI office. She was arrested. And her pay garnished until I got my money back.

It was a lengthy process, but damn I felt so satisfied afterwards...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] :
Wow. A candle? .....That's foul. Good luck with PAYPAL. I've been in a dispute with paypal for a month now and have yet to receive a response. I suggest you link this thread or copy and paste it before a MOD potentially deletes it like HOFO. Good luck brother.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Rayan:
Gee man!!! I'm really sorry to hear that the scumbag got you!!! :mad:

Too bad you didn't notice this post beforehand...

Can you please let us know when this happened?

What item did you purchased from him?

Where did you found this thief... I mean "seller" XDA-Devs, HoFo, Craigslist???

Please let us know the details...

Thanks and good luck!!!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Rayan:
Thanks NotATreoFan your your story!!!

I really applaud you for not letting POS people like that get away with it!!!!

By the way, the HoFo thread was supposedly deleted because the offended posted some personal infomration of the thief... So in order to protect the thief, I mean to protect the best interest of the users, the Mods deleted the thread... (I believe that in reality they didn't deleted the thread, it's just hidden from public access).

So let's just avoid posting detailed personal information about the crook or anyone to keep this thread alive.... ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] JimmyMcGee:
And the Candle got damaaged durring shipping to it looks like.

I always knew there was something amiss with a certain person.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] :
Ok I'm going to put on my Captain Obvious Superhero Costume and answer your questions.

1. This is a KAISER thread so I would assume the item he purchased was a ..... You guess it!!! Kaiser

2. A thread was opened on Xda-Developers and you are asking where did he met the seller.... My 11 year old cousin read this thread and figured it out. So can you

3. Read the thread from page one.. Odds are 99.99 percent of the time the issue is explained in the first post.

Captain Obvious signing off.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Vinnie1:
lol. well noticed!

I know where I would like to stick it.

To summarise;

I lost my kaiser on holiday 2 weeks ago.

Had to go back to a wizard, so started to bid on one on ebay (last friday). Noticed cuboosh had an add for a tilt. Emailed him my interest while I read through all his posts on here. He seemed like a genuine person.

I was outbid on the ebay one, and cuboos's one seemed like a better deal - it was supposedly newish.

We agreed on $375 and I paid him using paypal. Within a couple of hours I was sent a fedex shipping number. This was friday evening (UK time).

Sunday I was browsing these forums and found this post. Could not believe it was the same person!

candle turned up this afternoon.

Unbelievably he has been back on hofo and this forum in the last 24 hours!

Great post NotATreo fan!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Rayan:
Ok wiseman... as you might have noticed.... He used eBay for the transaction not XDA. That's relevant because there's ppl on HoFo, XDA

and now eBay

(possibly Craigslist too) that have fell victim to this crook.

It doesn't matter if we are on a Kaiser forum, it could have been another smartphone model for what I know.

If you didn't noticed, I CREATED THIS TREAD! you dumba$$...

I bought it from cuboosh's add on here (xda-developers).

It did say 'tilt for sale', and he has edited the title to 'please close this thread'.

Aditionally he has edited the post to a bunch of numbers. a very similar add is on hofo which he has not/can't? edit.

Would add the links to the pages above, but its tricky doing this posting on my wizard. the links are in revious posts on this thread.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] GSLEON3:
I never did like that guy, either of his personalities. Anyway, too bad you didn't use standard postal service shipping. Then it would constitue mail fraud. I alway use priority mail via good ole' USPS when doing business. Sure, it's a bit slower & they used to lose things from time to time, but thet are pretty big on prosecuting mail fraud as it relates to online auctions these days.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] NFRCER:
Something really needs to be done before this gets out of hand and someone gets hurt in the process. lol

(Not me, neither the people that got scammed!, but ill let you fill in the blank __________)

This thread needs some attention from the mods (Mods notice that im not saying you guys arent doing your job or anything),

but as we can all see all fingers at cuboosh points him as a scammer,

and hence why he shouldnt be allowed to sell here or for the matter wander in these forums.

It doesnt matter how long he's been here, how high ranked he is, or how nice he is, he still a thief.

----I wonder how he scammed the candle seller---

Nice community work cuboosh.:D

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] greenbrd:
From my experience, Paypal will nearly always side with the buyer in disputes like this. However, there are steps that smart sellers take to prevent chargebacks from claims.

Unfortunately, "smart" sellers are both honest sellers looking to protect themselves from dishonest buyers, and dishonest sellers looking to screw over honest buyers.

If this guy has taken those steps, it is unlikely that Paypal will do anything other than freeze his account.

Paypal sucks.

One thing is certain is that the seller is monitoring this thread. I suggest that any out-of-the box suggestions on how these buyers could potentially get a refund or retribution be PMed directly to the buyers rather than posted in this thread. Don't give the seller a chance to take preventative measures.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Vinnie1:

Hi Guys,
