I suppose this is partially my fault for not inquiring about the authenticity of the item...regardless, Seller Smithnwest sold me a pair of fake dr dre in ear tour headphones. When I asked for a refund he stopped replying to my messages. what should I do now? should I just keep the headphones and take the hit? is there anything else I can do? (paid through EMT, they arrived 2 days ago)

No pictures of him, but here's someone he calls mom. Which is weird, because I'm pretty sure he's Asian. Maybe they're his GF's parents.

Good work JAC.
Leave that scammer a negative feedback so his chances of doing a deal again would be slim to none.

Was he stupid enough to put his return address on the package?

Dont trade with people who have no feedback or new accounts or have a name like smithnweston (gun company). I dont get these clowns, do they make money selling crap like this and ripping people off? Seems like its a waste of time selling small items.

dude had +2 100% before this
i think it was more likely he fell for the fakes on kijiji or something and decided it wasn't against his morals to do the same thing to someone else :/

Not partially your fault. Knowingly selling counterfeits (whether stated or not) is typically illegal. You shouldn't have to ask a seller if something is fake or not, in order for it to not be fake.
LOL @ JAC digging up this info though, what is he a PI or something?

you have no right to post someone else's picture on RFD. It gives those innocent people a bad reputation.
we get that you are good at stalking people, but you should immediately remove that picture (even if the scammer claims its his pictures...you can't be sure anything they say).
Plus if you are so pro at looking up stuff maybe if you spend more time looking up fake dr dre headphones you would know not to trust anyone selling them online (unless they provide proof of reciept from trusted store like futureshop and WITH warranty). Besides those headphone sucks, the fake ones are prob same or better quality (i know this because my friend had both real ones and the good quality replicas).

My friend bought a pair of Dr. Dre headphones from Futureshop awhile back and later he found out it was fake. It wasn't a open box item also he later went back to notify the staff and got his money back... I don't know how but he did.

I don't know either how do you prove to the staff it was the original item. I could buy their headphones and go home come back with fake ones from china.
And how did Jac do it x_x

One of the email addresses comes back to a Michael V. Corleone (goes to OCAD, from Vancouver, looks Asian in the DP) the other comes back to a Jordan Crane (pictured with a BMX bike, not Asian).

So I was reading this board here and found the cases to be interesting, but then I ran into this post and I decided to register because of it.
I have no idea how JAC came up with that info, but here's what it's worth.
If you look up those two email addresses, you find out the names of the "two" Facebook account owners as described by the last poster above me.
Michael Corleone, if anyone is interested, is the name of a character in The Godfather series.
I also happen to know someone who knows him (mutual friends).
I don't know about the second link. The real guy might be the second picture because his "mom" is white, whereas, "Joshua Wong" is a Chinese name. But who knows?
Maybe they are diversions, or maybe they were both involved? I'd like to know the process of how JAC gained that information though.

0. Gather evidence in hard copy.
1. Call/Email/Go to OCAD/RECOL within 2 years.
2. Report Joshua Wong for online fraud.

The issue at hand isn't just about your scam, he had possession of fake merchandise (which is also illegal).
Hopefully Josh keeps up with this thread and realizes it's just better to give you your money back instead of the potential --> 6 mos./$5,000 fine OR 2 yrs. (http://www.defencelaw.com/penalty-dishonesty.html)
