[kenazo]

NEW POST:
Ok, everyone here's a guy not to deal with. His name is Rob Brincat. This is everything I have on him:

Brincat, Rob
24 Lauchlin Cr
Georgetown, Ontario L7G5R1
Canada
905-702-0406
416-434-9544

Email addy's:
envirotech@cogeco.ca
whitewolf_17286@hotmail.com

He owns the domain teamk3.com (used to be a clan)

He is also active under the username "Feral" on a few forums, including price n3tw0rk. (RFD's censors don't like that one.. )

He is still actively scamming people. In May/06 he took a member of RFD for $300. Add that to the $725 he took from me, and the other smaller amounts reported throughout this thread, he has stolen probably $1500 from RFD members.

He is active on thecomputermechanics.com as Beowulfz, and has logged in within the last week or two.

According to his profile on TCM his birthday is February 28, 1978. And he claims to live with his parents.

HE WILL RIP YOU OFF.









THE OLD POST:

His name is Rob Brincat, and he has $725 of mine from a deal for two laptops that he's had since August.

From this thread

I had been in contact with Dealforme on this topic, but I notice that nothing has been posted in the BST main area warning about him.

I've filed a complaint using the RECOL service as suggested on the forums. Hopefully something comes of it.

Just a heads up. And if anyone knows how to get a hold of this guy, let me know please.


December 11th UPDATE:
I had a discussion with him on Dec 9th, and he has agreed to refund my money by Dec 16th. I'm hoping that I can trust him on this, and will keep you posted as to how it goes down.

Thanks again for all your support!

December 16th Update:
He'd promised to get me my money by today. I have not yet seen it, nor have I received a tracking # from the expresspost he was supposed to be sending it by.

Holy crap!!!

Where is he from?

Hope this pans out for you.

I hate run away sellers... I'm also out 300$ USD (37x CND$) with a deadbeat seller ): ... I hope you find this guy

[petey]

He lives in the same town as me, he's on my msn from a deal a few months ago. I will msg him if he comes online.

[kenazo]

Good luck w/ the MSN thing, he's probably blocked me already. I had him on my MSN too.

By the way, he's also posted the same thread on Anandtech

It appears that he's not actively selling anything, but the name "Rob Brincat" should be added to the "don't trade with" list.

The address I sent the money order to was:

And he sent me a PM confirming that he received it. I think he said the Georgetown addy was his parents'.

kornstar369 knows him.

[kenazo]

Yeah, i've talked to Kornstar, he'd prefer not to get involved, which I completely respect.

this guy has been on my ignore list for a year now. Obviosly low moral values, lowballed my laptop 50% of asking price referring to some local shop selling laptops off at that price, stopped responding when I asked for address/number of the shop to check it out. I think he said he lived in Brampton but I could be wrong.

[kenazo]

What I don't get is that he had 35ish positive heat when I started the deal, and he gave me his email, AIM, MSN, address and phone number, yet he still walked away from it.
