Whatcools – eBay Fake Flash Seller – Lies And Deception

eBayers continue to battle eBay fake flash seller whatcools. The lies and deception are amazing. This seller does not seem to be aware that eBayer know exactly what he is up to. He does know that for some reason, usb flash drives are being tested properly the moment they arrive.

He knows his seller score is being damaged. Negative and Neutral feedback is pouring in. Still he tries to deceive his buyers.

whatcools as we have revealed is part of a counterfeit flash drive ring operating on eBay, controlled by the master id, 3ToTrade – Don Of Fake Flash in the Orient.

whatcools is pleading innocence again and again to eBayers filing disputes at PayPal.

• How is it that this id began listing the day after eBayers managed to shut down the listings for 3ToTrade – by drawing to much attention at the PayPal dispute console?
• How is it that when disputes started pouring in to PayPal whatcools switched his eBay auctions to “Private Auctions?”
• Why did the number of listings per day suddenly escalate from 9 to 18?

If an eBay seller is “innocent”, the first thing the seller would do is test the drives using the same software his customers used to verify their claims. If the results confirm what they are saying, would not an honest seller pull the listings to get to the bottom of the problem? We don’t think an honest person would suddenly switch to abusing eBay’s Private Auction Category or suddenly double the number of auctions for these drives.

Here is a report from eBayer MelodyOfTruth, his story reveals the typical melody sung by whatcools.

I have entered my paypal dispute and been contacted by Ngai Kin Wong (whatcools) asking me to send back the drive. I have replied saying my lawyer has told me it would be a criminal offence to post a counterfeit drive and even more so to send it through international customs and asking for the full refund. His reply was more or less the same.

Dear MelodyOfTruth,

Sorry for all the inconvenience caused.

I feel so sorry to tell you that i can’t refund the payment to you right now.
As you see .we have explained that affair happened by accident.
If the item really not as described.
We need return the item back to the manufactory first.
Since they can’t pay any loss without proof .
If you escalate that dispute, paypal will ask you to ship the item back with a tracking No.

They have already held your payment.
And refund will be send to you only after they checked that we have received it .

Hope can get your kind understanding.

Regards

I presume that several of you have also done likewise. It appears that I now need to “end communication and escalate my dispute to a claim” and have looked at the procedure. I think the best option is “I have evidence indicating that the seller may be fraudulent” I am not sure how I can show the evidence of this group in 2000 words.

Thanks again to all the ebay angels for your assistance so far!

You will notice how whatcools denys any involvement and responsibility. Our investigation has proven there is no accident here. In terms of evidence, discussion with trade authorities in Europe indicate that the software used for testing – is the evidence. Any third party would do the same testing as these eBayers did, with the same software and perhaps even take the drive apart for futher verifcation (we don’t recommend this until the claim as been settled at the moment). Also notice the confidence level regarding PayPal – they know PayPal’s flaws and are happy to exploit them.

whatcools and other eBay sellers in this fake flash ring are most happy to torture eBayers. Is any wonder then, why eBay is not able to grow, to add new members? We don’t know what apple eBay and PayPal ate, we hope it is not the one that leads to a 100 years sleep. SOSFlakeFlash is not prepared to be Prince Charming.
