Hi all just a heads up,
I just wanted to let you know. Before I know about FISD, I look out for kit makers on facebook. I came across a group called "STAR WARS COSTUMES BUY/SELL/THREAD". I posted on its wall, saying I'm looking for an armor kit. The admin pm me and told me he could order one for me, using the group account. He said he has a builder and it'll cost me $725 for both armor and helmet prebuilt. He asked me to pay through paypal, to this account:
[email protected]
Not to be judgemental but i sort of question his credibility because of the email address, and he demanded me to send the money right away. He pushed me to pay full amount that instant. I said that i was hesitant because i don't know this guy's credibility. And so he added me on facebook with his personal account. TIM WINGETT, that's his name. Looking through his photos with all the armor posts and stuff, and so I thought maybe this guy is okay. And so I paid him $725 right after that.
The day after that, someone messaged me on facebook. Apparently, he is the builder, the armor maker. He asked me whether I am Tim's friend or I found him on facebook. And I told him the truth. He asked me how much did Tim charge me. Apparently, TIM HAS BEEN BUYING HIS STUFF AND RESELLING FOR A PROFIT. The price is actually 375 for the armor 200 for the helmet. He's been selling it without the builder's permission and it's sort of disrespectful. I should've paid only 575, but Tim charged me for 725. That's a rip-off. And thank God the builder contacted me and help me through all the refund process.
So guys,
look out for: TIM WINGETT.
Don't get rip off.
(Hope this post would be helpful for you all)
