I recently purchased a CD Player from a guy named Christopher Hunyh, who lives in Anaheim, CA. He has worked out the perfect scam.
He advertised on Audiogon with 30 positive feedbacks glowing about his honesty and fairness. So I felt confident in dealing with him. His e-mail replys to me were quick and confident.
After I paid for the CDP via PayPal I received "e-mail blackout". E-mails requesting shipping dates and tracking info. were met with stony silence for 10 days.
I instigated a dispute with PayPal and they e-mailed Mr. Hunyh. 2 days later I escalated the dispute to a CLAIM because he had not replied. A day after initiating the claim for "non-receipt of item" the seller then sent a reply to PayPal (not me) with a DHL tracking number. It showed that he sent the CDP the day after PayPal contacted him regarding my claim.
I received the CDP 2 days later and it was DOA. DOA!!!! I e-mailed the seller. Guess what? No reply.
I then contacted PayPal regarding the problem. Their response was that "since this case is for non-receipt and you have received the product this case has been closed. For future reference a claim can only be made once for a transaction. And the type of claim can't be changed either". They then referred me to a couple of Feberal Gvernment Fraud reporting websites.
So sorry. Goodbye.
Thank goodness I had the good sense to make the Paypal payment with my credit card rather than my bank account. Had I paid with my bank funds I'd be completely screwed. My credit card is investigating my complaint and I hope to get my money back. The unfortunate thing though is that the seller, Christopher Hunyh, will probably never have to pay for this fraud. Which is why I'm letting all of the Asylum know who he is.
One more piece of advice. Before buying something from someone on Audiogon be sure to get their full name and then do a search for it on the Asylum.
I can at least credit Audiogon for suspending the seller's (Vott99) Audiogon account. He had built up 30 positive feedback and at least that is no longer available to him. He'll have to open up another Audiogon username account. It will be his 3rd since I found out from PayPal that he had closed a previous account and that his Vott99 account was his second.
