I'm really so ashamed of myself right now... spent 120k plus and now all I have are tokunbo/used and faded halogen bulbs

rickkychidex111:
Hmmmmmm very surprised reading all these u wrote bro. But continue. You want to tarnish my image right. Go on.

That's all I will say. There's no need giving any explanations what so ever. Let's assume I want to scam someone... it's 50k I will scam the person. That's funny man. If I wanted to scam you.. ..will I even give attempts of changing the bulbs for you?
And you said you sent 10k several times for logistics.. .i still have d alerts.....what u sent for logistics isn't up to 10k. I think only the first time u sent 10k. The rest wasn't up to 10k.

I appreciated your patience and told u to still have patience cos his shipments didn't have those exact H15 bulbs...the next thing u were talking of scam. That's an insult bro.

U refused to talk about the Benz logo I sent that worked well right? You refused to talk about the Benz Logo you pre-ordered from Amazon which got spoilt and u asked me to get you one. You even made a mistake by sending the spoilt one which prompted the stuff to be sent twice which means more expenses. And that made you to send money for logistics cos it was your mistake. Even other 2 times I went there trying to change the bulbs for you I spent my own money. My time and everything. You're talking of me scamming you.

just bulb issue u come here to write a letter for the world.
Why would u even tell me that I scammed you. I didn't like that statement. Don't you know the meaning of the word scam? It shows u're being childish bro. I already told you the guy wasn't around and I even took you to his house in Ikoyi which you met him in person.

If your car was in Lagos it would have been easier. You said you couldn't wait cos you were going to PH for a wedding. And you can't even drop your car.

Mind you... .you did not spend 120k on bulbs. Everything included the Benz Logo and the bulbs. 2 different Halogen bulb with charger and Benz Logo.

Because you're writing 120k for bulbs as if it's only bulbs you got.

Am surprised at you.
Thanks. That's all I will say.

I don't usually like to post on these fraudulent transaction threads, but I have silently monitored and followed every single one of them, from long before InspiredM, to the ongoing Siena situation.

I've come to discover that the Nigerian mentality is a huge ingrained problem. Approach is everything. Just a cursory glance at this response to a serious accusation shows you everything wrong with us as a people. At no point was an attempt at an apology made, never mind who was/is at fault.

rickkychidex111, I'm a silent admirer of yours. Your supercar threads are some of my pastimes. I even had a cousin take a look at some of your offerings last year.
It would be heartbreaking to see you go the way a number of these shady characters have gone, into disrepute over this situation.
You'd do well to make an apology and offer some restitution, as appropriate. I say this even without clear proof that you're at fault here. Your reputation is at stake.
Make the right decision.

What reputation? Did you see any comment justifying the purchase of fake Chinese bulbs instead of the agreed specs? Did you see any comment justifying the same error over and over again until he entered spare parts market to buy "tokunbo"?

The best decision is a refund of the money minus logistics expenses which the OP has graciously pegged at #50,000.

Oga u r very biased and lack wisdom to judge cases.....the car dealer had a right to be angry....he is a human being and is prone to anger

.you didn't see anything wrong in the poster calling someone a scammer...even coming online to write an epistle when in real fact he omitted so many details in his pity seeking story......why did he not talk about the Mercedes Benz logo?...a scammer to the best of my knowledge will not go through the hassles of returning and re-sending bulbs.....pls lets the objective here

My post was and is based on the still-in-flux and unfolding nature of the situation. It's clear that the entire story isn't complete. Reputation, yes. Because these are still allegations, as grevious as they are. There's a default assumption of innocence when the picture is incomplete.

However his reaction is certainly that of a guilty party.

aieromon:


I was scammed on this forum in 2012 and I do have an idea on the pattern in which the accused tends to deflect focus on the real issues.

The pattern is the same and you would know this if you've been following scam threads on this forum since 2009.

Ipfreely:


Further, I have a question.
Which of the following scenarios do you think would resolve this situation with minimal fallout?

The dealer proceeds on a back and forth with the aggrieved party here on the specifics of the botched transaction, and in the process does irreparable harm to his and other dealers' reputations?
OR
The dealer offers a brief explanation and an apology and the aggrieved party accepts following which both proceed to work on a resolution of odds?

I believe I already have an idea which of the above you would opt for, and which of them would be more logical.
Enough said.

coolcatty:



Easy champ.....don't shift the goalpost.....you clearly stated that no apologies was given by the dealer...why will he apologise?...the guy already called him a scammer...that's my grouse plus the fact that the op omitted the intricate details including the Mercedes logo.

Your comment is noted. I'm not going to delve into the specifics of your message, but it's clear to me that what you lack in reading and comprehension, you more than make up for in quick judgement.

Perhaps you should attempt to read my post and comprehend it again, especially the last paragraph where I noted that it was without recourse to the specifics of responsibility of either party for the situation.

LexngtonSteele:


Don't mind the coolcatty guy....he scrounges off car-dealers. Ignore his comments, they make little sense

He is a certified Julius Beggar. From his comment, you would see CLEARLY, he wants to be tipped little change by the conman
