just a heads up, stay away from 360chip.co.uk

[hakz]

I was thinking about getting a dms4 pro, but changed my mind just after ordering it from this website because I wanted to get a matrix infinity.

I was a little weary of this site beforehand, because no one had heard of it. Well, I decided to chance it. Big mistake. I emailed the account where I received my invoice from. I also emailed the paypal email address. When I got no reply, I thought fair enough maybe he doesn't check those accounts. I then emailed his customer support on the website, no reply. I waited about 4 days. I then emailed the customer support email found on his paypal account (different address), no reply there.

I had waited more than a week, no chip, no reply. I then opened a support ticket on paypal, I then received a message from him via paypal. Telling me that his terms and conditions on the site say that he will reply when he gets the chance, and will dispatch the item asap, as he sends out "15000" items a day. I don't know how he expects me to believe that, as Amazon probably sends out thousands a day, but can still reply. And no one has even heard of the site. Besides, he had no terms and conditions on his site (which I should have noticed anyway). I then escalated the claim to paypal. Paypal said that if they do not receive a reply from the seller, they will decide in my favour. No reply, so I got my money back luckily.

He also owns a site called: http://www.phone-gadgets.co.uk which is shown on his paypal account. There is another website I saw on his paypal very briefly, I'm angry that I can't remember what it is, but the template of that website is the same as 360chip.

As I think the above post contains important info, to try and help the consumers from being scammed, I have copied it to the Xbox 360 Forums, as well as leaving it in the Chit Chat forums.

Just wanted to add this note so the other moderators dont think the original poster was 'Double Posting'.

Thanks for the heads up

[XtremeX]

He lives 10 mins away from me

[Quall999]

give hum a chunk of our minds for us, lol, or a chunk through his window. j/k

[XtremeX]

lol

[DABhand]

Seen what he has done?

His site is now a "Demo Site" so he is essentially saying he isnt selling any of the goods, and if you do try to buy you will lose money and have to take it up with Paypal.

Trying to cover his tracks, but he will get a big heavy slap on the wrist making his "demo" site still take money, that is fraud in a heavy way.

[Quall999]

Wow, this guy is too funny. Here he is advertising his site on Team Xecuter's forums.

Now he put that demo thing up. Search the site and his name on google, you will get loads of complaints.

Covering his tracks must be right DABHand lol.

[DABhand]

That was a few months ago to be fair to him.

But this was funny

"Please help me to make this site a success and to bring even further discounts, not only that, i have applied to be on the authorised reseller for the UK"

Naughty Naughty, he was selling without a license to do so. Jebus he is digging his own grave even deeper lol

He wouldnt have got it anyway, he would have to at least buy 10k per year to be authorised.
