Nigerian to be deported after pirate DVD operation cracked

Just tells you, once again, how risky it is to order from Amazon Market Place or on eBay.

Nothing like a sweeping generalization ......

I suppose that since the Toyota recall, you NEVER get into an automobile any more, after reading about some malpractice suit you swore off doctors, and after the last e-coli outbreak you stopped eating.

Common sense works better than simply making generalizations.

This thread has no purpose actually. Shit like this is pretty common knowledge..and if you don't know it...well...you're kinda slow.

The ink on for the artwork on the disc and case is probably 50% lead.

You are well protected when you order from both Market Place and ebay, I've bought hundreds of DVDs from both outlets over the years, I have received two bootlegs in that time and both Amazon and Paypal refunded me the money.

I've frequently ordered from both sources, and have never had a problem.

Is it a legitimate issue? Of course. Am I going to stop using these methods of ordering? Don't be ridiculous...

Be patient. I got my $10,000. Actually, I created 4 other email accounts and got $50,000! Suckers fall for it every time.

Re: Nigerian to be deported after pirate DVD operation cracked

Holy Crap, I just received a bootleg Beatles CD boxset from a seller on ebay supposedly originating from Illinois. Of course when it came, it was clear it was from China. The seller had mostly TV boxsets listed on ebay. A couple of days after I won the item, ebay pulled the listing and basically offered a refund even before I even made a complaint (I didn't know it was bootleg when I ordered it, but after some checking I figured out that was probably what I was going to get). I wonder if the seller is related to this story?

Anyways, within days of formally filing my claim I got my money back. Got to love that Constitution! Always has my back!

I thought Foreigners who were convicted of a Crime were supposed to do their Jail Time, Then get Deported.

Five will get you ten TWO of her buddies will now get simular Visas, set up shop in this Country and resume their operation.

And everyone wonders why we are in the shape were in!
