- Well, looks like it happened to me. I was scammed by a guy in Flushing, N.Y.
- by the name of Zhang Ning, goes by the handle Gbis@aol.com on the Internet.
- He was supposed to ship me a complete Amiga, minus power supply, but what I
- got in a box was basically a case, and motherboard, in very bad condition. The
- single floppy was inoperative, and the motherboard was tore-up pretty bad
- because the diskdrive was bouncing around loos inside the case. I paid $800
- cash and have tried to email him several times but no response. DO NOT BUY
- FROM THIS MAN. He advertises quite a lot on the net.
- Again be warned. He is:
-
- Gbis@aol.com
-
- Zhang Ning
-
- address on the box he shipped is:
-
- 136-39 41 Ave. Apt. 6E
- Flushing, N.Y. 11355
-
- If anyone in his area knows him or can contact him or has his phone number I
- would greatly appreciate hearing from them.
-
- I am currently contacting the Flushing authorities to pursue legal actions,
- but that can take time, as you all know.
