[PSA] Don't Trust Seth_k

[azhdar]

Not fullfilling order of pcbs for his pre orders.

Not fullfilling order of leds for his GB.

I paid him a Viper 2months ago, it's still at his place. Send me 2 different tracking, with none of them going past the "p Pre-Shipment Info Sent to USPS" statut.

proof of payment : in french but what's important is the date,


proof of bull**** tracking number staying at " Pre-Shipment Info Sent to USPS" statut



I proxied a G80-2100 + G80-1000 for him, I was supposed to get back the shipping cost (100€ !! ) with the shipping of the item above, I'll most likely have to shove it up my arse.


proof he has it :

The G80-1000 was coming from ramnes who will confirm you it got sent to my place aswell.



Don't trust this guy.

I have a lot of other **** to show from our skype chatting.
Seth if you read this, don't try to delete compromising things, I got the chat log backed up.

[raymogi]

Wow... and I almost proxied a couple of artisans to him.

[Belfong]

He has a vendor forum? WoW!

I have multiple proofs if people want them.

Maybe I'm slightly ageist, but I would never expect the greatest of communication or reliability from a 17yo on the internet with possibly no real idea of real world repressions.
Hopefully everything works out. We don't need another Sherry.

[azhdar]

That's half of the reason I do it, people should be aware of the situation.
Good thing we have paypal protection.

[bocahgundul]

Wow feel bad for you bro

I'm not in nearly as bad a state as you, and I know PP will refund me, but I'm not happy at all about the status in the LED GB. I assume they will revoke the vendor status as some point soon.

I feel dumb for even joining in the first place. At least it was just LEDs for me.

All is under paypal protection beside the proxy service.

[infiniti]

Sorry to hear about this.

We will take this into consideration when we do the vendor review soon.

[asdfjkl36]

This makes me sad.

I gave him an Ogre CC a while back :/

Was wondering what was going on with him

[Jokrik]

I've disputed a couple of transactions

This is sad

[XMIT]

Over on DT he's in the Secret Santa. Someone is going to be disappointed. I hope it's not me. :cry:

Can you really link paypal with bank account at that age? I don't think so.

Paypal has an age restrictions unless he's using someone else and that someone else possibly adult who have better ideas of the real world and would have his/her bank account ****ed up

Sorry to hear this azhdar. You have always been a pleasure to deal with. I hope you get your money back soon.

According to the LED Group buy thread he has two! If you read the screenshot provided  here, by filphil, you will see he says that he has all the shipping money in his "other PayPal account". I didn't even know you could have one PP account under the age of 17, let alone two.

You can have a bank account at a young page with a parent to cosign. And on PayPal you can just lie about your age.

It's ok buddy you're proving yourself with bluegaloo 

It's a shame to hear about this though, really ****ty succession of things to have happen to you, and he always seemed like such a nice guy.

[XMIT]

Oh come now don't be ageist. Let someone's actions, not their age, determine their worth. Some 17 year olds screw up group buys, others are publishing research papers. Everyone's situation is different.

I do worry about sethk though. We don't have all the details, just the frustration of him dropping the ball here. I've sold Seth some keyboards and always found him a joy to work with. What changed?

Yeah, I think ageism stems from cynicism and possible bitterness that younger people are having so much responsibility and what not. I definitely disagree with being prejudice against someone simply because of their age, but I was surprised because Seth seemed older to me! 
 
Yeah, I always felt like Seth was an okay guy. Not sure what's up, but his recent issues are a little unsettling.

[fanpeople]

Oh come now don't be ageist. Let someone's actions, not their age, determine their worth. Some 17 year olds screw up group buys, others are publishing research papers.

How many 17 year olds are publishing research papers? I would imagine that the number would be about the same as the number of 17 year olds running group buys for keyboard related material.

Seriously I am curious, enlighten me.

[katushkin]

This isn't cool He has my Cherry stickers, #LEGITBALLIN springs and my LEDs

[nmur]

shame. I was expecting $50 worth of leds and sip sockets from him, which are actually holding up a build of mine.

[Karura]

Pwnarwhal owes me GID Relegendables, as well as Stickers. He had repeatedly promised that he had already mailed something out, and when asked a day later, would say he forgot to mail it, and will mail it out another time.

Weeks later, when I asked again, he personally said this little snippet to me on Skype.

I consider myself to be very understanding and generous, but I also have my limitations, and I feel that it is only right to share this with you guys...

Enough is enough.

[asdfjkl36]

The more i read, the more i feel lied to :|

[Homenubbie]

Is there a list of people to avoid buying/selling to here?

[Karura]

Is there a list of people to avoid buying/selling to here?

If you have to ask, you probably shouldn't trust too many people.

I don't wish to speak out publicly against people, but ask around and people will say a lot more in private.

[1swt2gs]

Is there a list of people to avoid buying/selling to here?

From what I learned here in my short time is that if you are going to do a trade, sell, or buy from someone ask some mods or some trustworthy people here and they will tell you if the person is trustworthy or not. It's a pretty small community so there aren't that many bad eggs in here. But they are a few.

[rm-rf]

i guess i probably wont receive the things i ordered from his website.

I know before, witch hunting (or even shaming) is not allowed on GH. There are many people who are getting away with it. (because there's no Report a Scammer section) or anything.

[demik]

that sucks, the amount of scamming that goes on in this place is ridiculous.

[Belfong]

I still don’t understand why GH don’t stickied a list of people who had scammed before. That would surely helped new and old people a lot more. Now I had to be wary of even vendor status, sigh.

[sth]

dispute all the things

Check out the Intel Science Talent Search. I never did it but a whole bunch of people I went to high school with did. Sad that Intel is pulling their funding for it - I wonder who will pick it up?

oh hey it's kind of ironic that you're replying to this post because you've been ignoring my PMs for over a month now. Pot, meet kettle.

Not really the place but would you care to elaborate?  As there's no official list I'm going to start my own...

[trenzafeeds]

Agreed, I just don't think GH can maintain a policy of "hands-off" with scamming. I'm not saying they need to like take responsibility for anything, but as you said, maybe a little list of people who are agreed upon as scammers by multiple accounts would be nice.

[mason]

nvm

[azhdar]

another member here asked for something on the Free Stuff thread and the address provided was to Seth

Tell me more about it please, in pm if necessary.

[katushkin]

I am honestly surprised at how quiet most people are when you don't ship their stuff

Probably because we expect you to have ****ing shipped it already.

i'm young but I could definitely see where you're coming from.
I've dealt with seth one time buying a valentine set, and he forgot the spacebar, and it took him over 2 weeks to get it shipped out. ****ing ridiculous.

[katushkin]

I hope that it's just the fact that he's got stuff going on and he hasn't been able to get round to it. Plz Seth

[njbair]

I'm not Seth, but I did PM him a while back out of concern that I hadn't seen him around in a while... I don't have any money tied up with him, I was just checking in. He replied that school has been overwhelming him and keeping him too busy to meet his other commitments.

Just sharing this as an FYI. I know it doesn't take much time to post a quick update, but we've seen many times how people get this extreme kind of anxiety about their unmet commitments on here, and its easier to not even acknowledge the issue. Unfortunately this just makes things worse for everyone involved. But it's our scumbag brains playing tricks on us.

[asdfjkl36]

Yea, we've all seen it happen where people get overwhelmed with other things in their life.

Not saying it's a good reason / excuse, but it's been known to happen.

Hopefully that is the case and he'll return.

[azhdar]

My chat log with seth is over a thousand messages.
This wasn't only keyboard related.
I considered him a friend.
This is not just being worried about getting **** delivered

[yobinad]

He claims having no time to deliver orders, but he has plenty of time for playing around

They have no business in conducting business if they cannot fulfill their obligations. You're taking people's money. Even if that money wasn't used to buy other stuff, the very least he should be doing is fulfilling orders.

Some things come up is all I'm saying.

If he returns and fulfills orders, then hopefully he's learned that it's too much for him to handle.

Again, I just hope it's that and everyone gets their ****, that's all.
