Posted: Tue Feb 05, 2008 11:33 pm Post subject: consoleshop.com + modchip.com
both are scam websites, it has been over a month since I placed my order and I still haven't gotten anything. They also haven't responded to any of my emails or other attempts to contact them.
The reason I post this in here is because you advertise them on this site and I linked to them from here. I thought you would only use advertisements from legitimate sellers, but maybe you just didn't know about these guys.
both are scams though:
consoleshop.com
modchip.com

see that makes me even more angry...
the worst part is that they make absolutely no effort to return emails in order to work the problem out.

yea, well. I had some issues registering here for a while so I just figured I could trust the ads... somewhere on this site there is a mention that you only run ads that are trustworthy. or maybe not, maybe im just hallucinating.

Wes modchip.com sucked before the raids. Remember they tryed to scam me into thinking that they were giving me a deal swapping out the modchip I wanted with a way cheaper version because they didn't have the one I wanted in stock. I had to threaten legal action to get my money back. I am sorry to hear about your loss dude. I tried to warn people off of modchip.com a long time ago. All the other modders I have talked too have said really bad things about them also. _________________

I recently (January 19th) ordered a smartxx v3 from modchip.com and received it 9 days later. The reseller ratings aren't too spectacular for the site though. I've also heard it was hit or miss with those guys. They operate out of monaco, and ship from someones personal address. Very shady operation. They are also one of the last US suppliers for chips, so I was left with little choice.
Sorry for your loss, the next step would be to escalate a claim with your credit card company. _________________

Probably uses a canoe or bass boat to secretly super spy type insertion style sneak into Canada and meets his source on some shady and foggy warehouse dock and purchases them after using a ultra high tech state of the art portable xbox that runs on lemon juice to test each and every chip to make sure they are good and then ships them to us without charging us inflated and fraudulent shipping prices!!! Sorry I am practicing to be a writer and this seemed like a good story! _________________
