Default ***SCAMMER ALERT*** ektouge88 DISHONEST seller!!!

I recently bought an xbox from sergio or ektouge88. I found his for sale thread here in the socal forum of HT.

http://hondamarketplace.com/zerothread?id=1771236

He was selling an Xbox that came with the console, 80GB hard drive, an extra DVD-ROM, AV cable, PS cable, 2 wired controllers, xbox Router with LAN cables for xbox live. I pmed him that i was interested and asked if it will come with games, if so, which ones. He told me that it came with roughly 35 games. I continued to pm him with more questions as to which games he had and what the condition of everything was. He claimed that the system had no problems and that everything worked perfect. We worked out a deal for the whole package to be 100 picked up. It took a couple of days to finally meet and pick up the system due to "his phone was not RECEIVING calls". (which is bull sh*t). anyways, the only way we communicated was through numerous PMs and a few text messages with his cell phone (the phone that wasnt receiving calls). Before we met, he offered to add in a type r shift boot. I thought to myself, cool... i can make use for it.
So during our meet, i checked out the system and quickly looked at everything. Everything seemed to be okay looking (it was a used system, so i didnt expect it to be brand new). so i gave him the money and he gave me the package. After i got back in my car, i looked at everything again, and realized that he forgot to bring the extra DVD ROM drive. so i called him back. It took about 3 tries for him to finally answer his phone. i told him that he forgot the dvd drive and he said sorry and that he would go back home to get it and he would be 20 mins. 20minutes later, i get a TEXT message from him stating that we can meet again the next day and i got pick it up at his homies house. I tried to call him many times after the text message (even later in the evening) and no luck of him answering his phone. I had no choice but to drive home and test the system out to see if everything worked correctly.

Boy, was i scammed. There were quite a few problems with the package that he sold me.

Problems with the xbox:
-AV cable that connects to the TV had a shitty feedback, so anytime there was moving graphics on the screen, only sound i hear is feedback. So that will need to be replace so that i can hear sounds from the games.
-DVD ROM drive has trouble opening. It needed some wiggling each time the open/close button was used in order to have the ROM pop open.
-The chip install had trouble reading, so i couldnt play any burned games since all he provided were backed up on burned DVDs. (It would boot up to the chip like every 30 times i power on the system.)
- i was missing the extra DVD-ROM drive
-Never recieved the type R boot (he is currently trying to still sell today)
-One of the controllers had a huge hole where the xbox emblem used to be.


After testing everything out, i tried to contact sergio about everything and, of course, no luck. I left him numerous PM's (which now he blocked me from), no answer from his cell, no response to any text messages.

I am writing this to call out sergio aka ektouge88. From my experiences with him, he is a DISHONEST seller. He sold me a piece of junk. To any potential buyers, please BEWARE of this guy. He will lie to you! His cell phone works, he just doesnt like to pick up (he only picked up when we were meeting up, which he miracuously picked up everytime i called him).

If he is reading this, i hope he response. I trusted that he was a good and honest seller since he has been on HT for awhile. But i guess you cant trust ppl on HT NO MATTER WHAT.

Live and learn i guess!

if anyone gives a **** to what the PMs were:
