I got two things in my box and two things only: a dollar store electronic pinball machine and a women's small sized LED flashing t-shirt. I guess this is probably a thirty dollar shirt or something

e: nope, it's a $19 shirt according to the brand's webite, so according to the statement that each box will be worth MSRP $50 then this SUPER PINBALL LCD VIDEO GAME is worth $31.

e2: its manufacturer declares it to have an MSRP of $4

The mystery box one is very funny both on the surface and because of all the 2010 style Goons posting "this is legally fraud and I have alerted the authorities" after buying a box of garbage.

If this guy is based in Irvine, believe me when I say the Irvine Police literally have nothing to do and are the most insufferable jackholes I've ever had to deal with in my life. They handcuffed a professor for riding his bike in the crosswalk and detained him (her?) for several hours. That said, their overzealousness could come in handy here.

If you call the Irvine Police, they will have five squad cars at his house within minutes. Mention that this is something they can refer to the FBI -- interstate commerce laws and whatnot -- and they'll send ten.

Sorry for those who got scammed, but this guy picked a bad city to do business in if he thinks he can get away with it.

e: If you look at his post history, Tikiman has been posting in the PSN game sharing thread as recently as today. Someone should probably post in there to get his attention.

Lmao seriously

Make sure you get both the FBI and the Irvine Police Department on the horn so we can make sure to track down and brutalise the guy who sent me plastic vampire teeth in the mail.

Amazing work being internet detectives! Don't bother messing with the BBB, what are they going to do? What can be done is reporting these guys to the FBI office in charge of their area of California. It looks like the Los Angeles regional office would have jurisdiction. I'm going to poke around and find out who else would be interested in fraud cases. Most likely nobody will give a poo poo, but sending off an email with links to all the relevant information doesn't take too much time at all.

Internet vengeance begin!

The Dark Id was great too but he was just funny, RI taught me things about rigid airships while flying badly in Crimson Skies. It was neat.

Still pissed about what happened to TDI.

Is it really in any way unusual that a group of people who got defrauded are forming an angry mob and seeking legal retribution? I mean the "internet detective" work pretty much involved looking at information that was publically available, and it doesn't seem like anyone has gone over the line as far as using that information goes.

quote:

Yeah, I know bro, they should just let the guy who scammed a bunch of goons out of $30 go along on his merry way because trying to get information on the guy is creepy.

This is a quick reminder that nothing illegal should be done to this guy (or at least not discussed on the forums).

Edit: and for the love of god don't go overboard with his parents. They didn't scam you.

Eh..the internet detective work in this thread, while effective, was pretty easy to obtain.

You know what else was easy to obtain in this thread? Several hundred dollars.

Iirc this did happen but it isn't what made him stop doing lp stuff, since he came back to do Parasite Eve in early 2022. But when the war kicked off he said he supported Ukraine on Twitter and got doxxed over it, and folks started harassing his family allegedly, so he went dark.
