Dot Computers (wtf) - part 2

[pupa]

Send someone to address below and you will find out the truth!

A kidd answered today saying that Brian does not live there, they do not know him, wrong number and a direct question if this is not Dot.computers got a stutter as NO! Buy! (end call) So the plot thickens!

Bye Bye cash and equipment it seems. Send the cops to that address, they will not lie to them. Make a print of the OCZ information as proof to the link to that address and TEL number! If that information is wrong then that is fraud too!

Well someone was at the no. When I called to find out when the site will be up again a lady answered, apparently could not hear me and when I asked for Dotcomputers she rang off. Calling again it just rang! and rang!

Incubate. Do not wait go lay a charge! Pronto, give them the address above as per the international site to investigate whether he left the country with your money! Same goes for the others that have already paid for overdue undelivered goods!

3000 employees?

Okay, obviously that's a lie, but what the hell's the point of telling customers how many employees you have?

Would hate to see Frontosa's name get sullied - they (wisely) decided not to become involved with Dot.

3000 employees?

WTF is that all about? 3000 employees? myADSL? I am sure he means they provide members of myADSL with goods, or rather don't provide

3000 employees?

Okay, obviously that's a lie, but what the hell's the point of telling customers how many employees you have?

To get more customers obviously - if I saw that DOT.IT had alot of employees, I'd think they'd be a solid, reliable company who have been around for a long time and not a 1-man chop shop in Kenilworth.

Interesting to note that he names frontosa as a supplier yet frontosa are a distributor not a retailer!

EDIT: So they didn't get involved with DOT yet he names them as a client? Interesting.

 

[mooK]

Dominic, I realise that was the reason he lied about it and put it there, but what I was getting at is that no company I've ever come across puts their no. of employees as part of their letterhead or whatever, it's just pointless, I mean wtf.

 

[pupa]

Goodness I missed that, maybe it was when MyADSL had only 3000 members! Or he is refering to the USA based office that I cannot find a trace off!
Anyway wasted enough time on this joke! Will go ticle my fanny rather!

The mods should merge all these threads and rename them: How to sink your business in only 3 days!

(3000 employees for a company with the same physical and postal address? I doubt it! Unless there is a giant-sized post-box!)

Must say somewhat dissapointed in Person. I have only dealt with him once and his price was good and delivery was good. I fetched item from his premises, a town house complex in Kennilworth Cape Town. It was definetly a man band but I have nothing against that provided they give me, the customer good service and support. After this I think I will not deal with DOT Computers again. Person was also involved in scam with Digital Planet whereby as a result Digital Planet offerred MyASDL members a gift voucher, at that stage perhaps I should have become aware that he is less than honest!

I see there is a Gibello, B who got a D aggregate in the 2005 senior certificate at Rondebosch Boys High ( mentioned as a "client" above ):

Would that be him maybe? Any old boys here who might know?

 

[TonyA]

The guy I met at Kennilworth seemed a bit older than that I would say about 24

LMAO!

OMG, I am just amazed at how much you guys have learnt about Person in such a short space of time! LOL!

On a serious note though: This is really getting very interesting now. Let's see how it pans out, I'll keep y'all updated on any progress.

 

[TheYak]

TheYak, I remember Person told you that he'd give you that card for free as it was your bday and you had to go thru so much crap to get it. Did he not refund you for it? And if so, wtf didn't you tell us about it? There was a huge thread about you getting that card.

Nope... no money yet... *shakes head*

Sorry I didn't keep you guys informed, guess I was too busy playing games on my now deceased graphics card...

*snort*

20060610 22:59 - Still not a peep from Brian wrt my refund or my card...

 

[pupa]

@ Yak

My advise to you is to forget Person as a bad dream and experience, Unless that card was older than stated the warranty should still be valid! Get it to a agent and get it replaced asap else you could run out of warranty service depending on the true age and source of the card! Will be a quicker and more acceptable resolve IMHO!

 

[TheYak]

pupa, yes, that would probably be the best thing to do, but this coming week will be impossible for me to get to Midrand, and that also doesn't solve the whole him-owing-me-R1000 problem.

 

[Gnome]

Damn, sucks that you guy's got screwed over!!!
I just stumbled on this thread, and I know exactly how it feels! A similiar thing happend to me and the guy just kept promising.

You should seriously consider opening a case at your local police station, by doing so you are not only possibly saving yourself money, you're helping stop a next potential victim to a scam! This guy is a Criminal and belongs in jail. It pisses me off seeing things like this happen, our country is turning into Nigeria, exactly the thing I don't want to happen here... You can't trust anybody and you have to look over your damned shoulder the whole time.

This guy... Person he scammed you and he is not going to deliver, as pupa stated he is hoping that you don't report him to the police.

Hope you get this thing sorted, just please don't let this guy get away with it...

 

[incubate]

Hey Guys latest update, i'm sure you guys have been waiting

Well it so happens I got my refund back so hopfully The Yak gets his back also. I just think that all this could have been avoided. Brian said he was gonna send the case on Monday but we'll see. If he does or doesn't really doesn't matter because I have my money back.

if it was me id give incubate the case for free and jus a sorry note on it.. sure he'd be hapy with that .. and u can save some face (cause if you were a really huge international company would you really go through all this trouble for a measly R1000 was it)

Hehe I would really appreciate that and I would be happy. It would also go a long way in this thread

Well thanks for the support chaps, couldn't have done it without your support. You guys kick ass.

Notice that this post is not slanderous or nasty just in case I get nailed for it

 

[pupa]

Good for You at least! I hope person will come clean here ASAP! So things can return to normal? If ever! If he is in da USA and can supply direct then it would be great for all, but he will have to work damn hard to regain trust. It would be nice to know who the JHB office contact is! as Cape town is dead as a duck in the oven!

Also: It is not only YAK but there are some guys at Prophecy that have outstanding issues still!
