This person probably lives outside the us. Makes the site, steals the cc, and uses that cc to create a new domain and buy hosting. I reported to google, and they basically said to f*ck off.

Anyways, the same site is back with a new domain,

google. com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4SKPB_enUS243US243&q=cheap+360

How do we stop them? Google clicks up the bum, everyone in here should click their ad once/day. They are probably paying around $.50 cpc (per click), so if 70 different ip's click the ad, they make zero money.

And that ends the scammer's plan. Anyone else up for it?



My feedback to google adwords:
Code:
AdText: Only $34.99 - Includes accessories Order Today!AdsUserLocale: enComments: SCAM REPORT!!! This site is a scam. There are multiple complaints around the net for this site, and a previous one, referbished360s. com letting people  know that no 360 will be sent. I am a webmaster for a xbox 360 website, and these ads make their way onto my site. Ruins the reputation of my ads and my site when they are actually scams. Please remove that ad from your system, and look into the users  account, and attempt to disallow that user from continuing to purchase  google ads.
Their ridiculous response

Just got another report from one of my users who was scamed by this website. 
 
If you search google for cheap 360, they are the top advertiser on your screen, now with a new domain,
 
google. com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4SKPB_enUS243US243&q=cheap+360
 
buyaxbox360online. com/index.php?campaign=adwordsxbox
 
You don't allow advertisements for illegal products, drugs.. anything illegal, why would you allow advertising for a someone trying to steal money. Please investigate this issue and remove this user from your system. Im sure he's paying a hefty cpc, but in the end, its not worth the extra money you gain to scam people who use your search engine and your ad network. Yes, i can block url's on my end, but when this guy changes his url every week, its not possible for me to keep up. 
 
Please look into this, its very annoying that my website visitors should have to deal with scam sites, when its being blatantly reported to you. 
 
Should I continue to run google ads on my site? hmmmmm, what would you do in my situation?

Default Nothing Yet

Not one call back from a lawyer, from the goverment, district attorneys, etc. What the fuck good are they if they can't do shit with the authority they are granted. If you made a complaint with IC3 or any other government agency, they most likely forwarded it to your local district attorney. The next time they run again, don't vote for them. This person was handed over on a silver platter to them and they did nothing. He lives in the US and they did nothing. He like to send our money to Russia and spend it in Lebanon, and they did nothing? I'm done waiting for the government. If any Georgia militia read this or you know someone close enough, we need justice.

Dmitriy O. Myshkin
1563 HUNTINGDON TRL ATLANTA, GA

needs to be brought to justice.

Picasa Web Albums - FUCKING SCAMMING DOG SHIT - Dmitriy Myshkin

Look at the tabs he has open on when he is checking his bank roll. Yes that www.refurbishedxbox360s.com and plus the screenshots of his merchant accounts he used and various other crap. Including what he likes to buy with your money, cars. There's a lot more that are not pictures. It was all handed to the government even while he was still flaunting it. Until I posted his picture then he got scared and shutdown his site. All I would like to see is justice. Youtube is a great venue for that type exhibit.

Well if you use Firefox Mozilla | Firefox web browser & Thunderbird email client and get the add-on iMacro it makes life alot easier by clicking the ads for you. Start it in on a search page where you search cheap xbox or cheap (platform) and record it to click on the top ad or where you see it. Then run it repeatedly. He has no cap on the ads because he makes so much off the sites, but I bet it'll rack up his bill from google.

Cool i got scammed

well like everyone else i also fell to trap of a 360 for 34.99 good i already owned 1 but wanted another. the only advice i have for everyone else is the if you do use a credit card buy a prepaid one like at wal mart or something thats what i used to buy this fake box. anyways i contacted my credit card company and should recieve my money back. but keep me posted if you guys find anymore on this scammer and i will spread the word.

"hot" items should not be bought online unless from a trustworthy and known company. Scammers know people looking for hot items on the net for less will be shopping blind.

Default Recieving Consoles?

Really you are are recieving your wii's and xbox's, I doubt it. And had to do surveys, ok let's see you gotta go to Consoles4Less and do it there right. It's a crap site, how did you sign up. The login for is a TEST form it's not even real. You wanna see how much crap it is, go to 35DollarXbox360.com and goto Order Status. In the Number and name section put in....

order number:
&#49&#39&#32&#79&#82&#32&#39&#49&#39&#61&#39&#49

last name:
1 AND USER_NAME() = 'dbo'

The site is crap and Dmitriy you must try harder than that.
