Be careful of counterfeits

To add.. Since the threads were swiped clean. How will anyone know who spent what or who was even involved? Unless Tas posts all that info himself in the thread by gathering it from his PP account receipts.

I have the record.. I have make it into a percentage.. So no worries about that

I will post it here soon

it doesnt include paypal fees being deducted. so i am incurring a loss...

i dun care. i just wan this to be settled soon.
 
IMO I think there are a few ways that you can actually make everyone satisfied. It is very clear that you are trying to cheat others here. I do not believe that you did not know the cases were counterfeit before it was sent to you as it was mentioned that these cases were not the only counterfeit that you have raffled.

My suggestion is refund every participants fully and put yourself at loss for the cost and shipping of the cases to make things right. Why Should the winners or participants bear these for you eventhough the winners have the cases?? Since it was your fault for cheating everyone in your raffles at the first place. I do not think you breaking even and the participants making a loss is fair at all. It is either this or just sent the winners the real thing and be more responsible for your actions.

Honestly speaking, I am not being greedy here. I just do not understand why we should bear the costs of your loss since you are obviously cheating here. I believe in Singapore they take copyright and fraud issues very seriously. Penalties would vary from fines, cane and even jail time.

I do not know whether everyone will agree with me but this is how I actually feel and just my suggestion. You have our $$ with you and can decide on what you're gonna do with it. Be it refunding the $$ less shipping and cost or just run away. But I hope you consider this and look at this matter in the point of view of the raffle participants.

Thanks for reading and sorry if it is too long. :cool:

P.S please do not turn what I've posted into another argument about JB Flower tribute are knock offs too or whatever. That's another issue that do not concern me nor I care about.

Take care all.
 
tasaddicts,

Your numbers and claims are bullshit.

Let's start with the revenue.

Tickets were $8 and 4 for $30. So the high number if all tickets sold at $8 each would be $368 per raffle (46x8) The low number is $345 if all tickets sold at 4 for $30 (46/4=11.5x30)

Using the low number the minimum revenue is $2070
Using the high number the maximum revenue is $2298

I think we can safely say that the actual revenue is in between $2070 and $2298. Not 1917.5 as stated. Unless he is taking out the PP fees, which he wouldn't pay any way if he does refunds. But he is claiming that this is gross revenue before fees.

Now let's go back to his statement that he didn't know the cases were not "JB J.Flowers" until after he got them. Well above he says he bought two on the 15th of March and then five more two weeks later. So are we to believe that he wasn't aware of the fact that he had counterfeits from the first two? Most likely he saw how quickly his raffles filled on the first two and thought he would snap off five more.

As to his claim that he paid $1430 for the seven cases that's complete and utter BS. That's MORE than he would pay if he had bought real ones directly from the factory at the same wholesale price they sell to all Chinese dealers at. He could buy them RETAIL in China for not much more than that. His "proof" is meaningless. It screenshots of total payments and not itemized invoices. It's all smoke and mirrors. Either he is truly a major dumbass who doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground or he is a major liar who knows full well who the authorized dealers of authentic J.Flowers cases are and who the sources for knockoffs are.

But here is the really great part. After all his laying out of all his "costs" he ends up with a net profit of $217.50 which should be proportionately divided amongst 44 raffle ticket buyers? Even equally divided that works out to $4.95 each as a refund. So basically the 44 buyers are expected to bear all the costs for this heist and he comes out even (if you believe his math and his per case cost). Such a good deal. Get caught then make the victims bear the cost and give them back a portion of their money. Don't get caught and live on easy street.

And notice that he is including the 7th UNSOLD case in his costs and subtracting it from his claimed revenue? So he wants you all to pay for the case he still has on top of it all.

I don't know, his math skills are as crappy as his business skills. But I am glad he is providing me with all sorts of evidence to use against him.

The thing that bothers me the most about this the most is he is expecting US, the people he scammed, to pay for his counterfeit items. So he breaks even while were all STILL OUT MONEY.

This guy is pathetic, worthless, and a pure waste of space. This is the type of guy I wish I could meet face to face. But probably wouldn't be a good idea.

i dun care. i just wan this to be settled soon.

It wont be settled, Because you still trying to be shady. Guess what, were not stupid. Most of us can see what you are doing and why your trying to do it. And we are all going to look out for each other, especially against scumbags like yourself.

I think your best bet here would be to bow out NOW before I get really serious and get a lawyer. I am sure that we can get a court order to obtain your information through paypal using your email address. OooO, I am just sure the media would LOVE a story about an international fraud scam against a military member in Afghanistan.

Your a piece of shit tasaddicts. And I hope the law finds you, and when they do, I will be the one there with a smile on my face wondering if you think its worth it.

Being a winner of one of these cases, I have a different kind of suggestion.....

Tas should send the winners all real JB Flowers Tribute Cases and pay all of the winners of the cases the cost to return the cases to him and he can get his money back from his "reputable dealer".

really man? i'll be the 1st to admit that i am super dissapointed with this situation but lawyers over a couple hundred dollars and the media about an international scam???

No wonder we got 2nd in state recently you had a fake case!

^ This is the most logical thing for him to do. Fact is, only the winners are screwed out of what they were promised. I know that entering a raffle for an item that turns out to be different or not as promised sucks, and is immoral for the listing party. But in the end, the losing parties didn't lose any money they wouldn't have originally. If you entered the raffle, and you lost, life goes on, you were not cheated. The winner was cheated. People who are trying to get their money back now, need to think of the actual winner who was duped, not themselves.
We DO NOT NEED to get paypal involved in this as it will scew up the raffles here even more in the future or even cause them to cease all together. Think about the big picture here. If you blew $150 on his raffles and didn't win a case, I am sorry, but guess what, if it had been an authentic JB Flowers tribute case.....you would still be out the $150.00.

Tas, do the right thing and swap the real cases out. Or just buy the old cases back so the winners can buy one from JB.
My 2 cents.

My 2 cents.

Although the deception and trust issue are another thing of their own, I believe that this is a very good resolution when it comes to the cases, both predator and JB Flowers.
 
counterfit

I have to disagree with you. Nobody would have even entered the raffle in the 1st place if they knew the cases were counterfeit!
Everyone paid evenly and took the chance to win the nice case as advertised. So, everyone loses.

Replace the counterfeits with real cases and refund back all the participants entry fees.

ABSOLUTELY!!!

You think this is the only place tas is doing this? It is scum like him that pray on peoples hard earned money and have no worries about it. I for one will never cut corners nor let something like this go unpunished. There are no separating degrees of severity here.

Cheating someone out of millions is the same as scamming someone out of 100s, the amount of money is relative to the target.

Very well said! Straight to the point.

Everybody that purchased spots on these stupid raffles was cheated equally. The other issue is this guy has been a member as long as I have and unless he's been living under a rock he knew that you don't pull this crap On AZ. The other annoying fact is that Tass didn't step up untill the owner / admin himself called Predator.
When was the last time anyone can remember where Mike H. had to call a factory to see if an item for sale on AZB was a fake or not.
I wonder how long this guy thought he was going to get away with it.

To add insult to injury, the guy only comes on the forum to make a buck, and he can't spend 35-bucks to be a club member.
You can tell where his head is at.
 
I agree with all of you and not putting any excuse for anybody. Like what I said, the deception and trust is another thing/issue. I just thought that it's a very viable solution for where the situation is at right now. Just my opinion.

I personally didn't participate on the JB Flowers case, almost, but didn't. I only did on the first predator case/Joss combo but didn't win.
 
I bought 3 spots in 1 of the raffles, I did not win. But I think that the BEST solution is for TAS to send everyone who entered 1 of the case raffles a REAL JB Flowers Case. I think everyone would forgive him.

Just my 2 cents.

I agree. Id be happy to send this case back and get what we all thought we were raffling on. I am still debating putting in a paypal claim against him for the Richard Black since I asked for my money back yesterday afternoon.
 
What about his actions in the Black raffle.... 6 people ask for a refund and he ignores them and does the raffle any way....He is a scum bag who should have been a blow job
IMHO
