Photo Forum / General Photo Topics / Australian Photography / January 2006Andrew Hyde - Scammer
Beware of Andrew Hyde of St. Kilda Melbourne. He advertised a camera package for sale. I paid for the package, but did not receive the promised manual, USB cable and software which was advertised as part of the package. Andrew refuses to reply to my emails. Don't get caught by this low-life. >Beware of Andrew Hyde of St. Kilda Melbourne. He advertised a camera package >for sale.

On newsgroups - I replied to his ad on aus.computers.used Sorry, read that as:- aus.ads.for sale.computers.used on 10/01/06 Also, I emailed him before I bought the package , for listing of items included and he replied that apart from camera, case and memory card that there was USB cable, manual and software. All I received was the camera, case and memory card. I have emailed him several times since but with no response. How long have you waited for replies?. Is it not possible he may be away and not read his email. Unless you are positively sure he is avoiding replying to you (such as seeing another ad or correspondence sent since you contacted him) I would allow 2 weeks if you havent already before resorting to black listing him. > Sorry, read that as:- > aus.ads.for sale.computers.used [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > All I received was the camera, case and memory card.

The simple fact that he did not send the promised items is very suspicious. This, backed up by non response to several emails, convinces me that something smells fishy in Denmark (or in this case, St Kilda). >> How long have you waited for replies?.

You may have opened yourself to legal repercussions if you have jumped the gun on this. >>> How long have you waited for replies?. Is it not possible he may be >>> away and not read his email.

And on what basis would I be able to differentiate, given the contents of the relevant posts. Have I missed something? Signature/J/ Stuffing around with the web cam again: http://members.ii.net/~iijeebz/ii.jpg TV is the best device for turning grey matter into brown matter... I dont see what benefit he would have keeping a USB cable, camera specific software and manual. The USB Cable is worth a couple dollars, the software and manual likely downloadable from the manufacturers web site. If he was going to scam you surely he wouldnt have sent the camera, or he could have sent you a brick. >> How long have you waited for replies?.

Instead of making what may well be baseless accusations spammed across dozens of newsgroups - try contacting him at RMIT if it is the same person.

Heh - there are times when good (read 'fast') servers are not such a good thing... such as this situation :) Hopefully it didn't escape too much further into the wilds of Usenet.

Yeah, for someone lecturing others on legalities it would seem to indicate the depth of their knowledge on such things. SignatureRegards .........

And it doesnt mean you should go smearing their name with such strong language. If you had any brains you would have got his phone number and other contact address BEFORE handing over the cash. idiot. >> Beware of Andrew Hyde of St. Kilda Melbourne.

Seeing as how the ad included the missing items, I do think some degree of scamming happened. For one thing, the software that is included with this model camera is not available on the net - I searched high and low to no avail. The manual is available, but is well over 120 pages long and is an expense to download and print. And the USB cable is actually $12 for that model camera. So shouting idiot only rebounds on to you!!! |
