this guy is 100% Fraudelent, no doubt about it. he asks for $150.00 for customs, when the item is suppose to be sent thru UPS-customs, not Buyer-Customs. and he never replies. nor does he return ur money, believe me HES FAKE!! ive had an experience with him before, and i really REGRET it! ALL TRACKING INFO AND BUSINESS IS FAKE FROM HIM!! U WILL RECIEVE NO SUCH THING!

[Tom]

this guy is soo fraudlent. i emailed him, and he asked for 150 USD for customs, and there was no proof tht the item was by customs! i made up a new email adress and sent him an inquiry. i asked if there was any money for customs, and he said NO! i emailed him from my old email adress which i had purchased an item from him, and he never would reply, and when i made a new email adress for an inquiry, he replyed within the next few hours.

!!!DONT BUY FROM HIM!!!

HE also promised me my money back, but than strted to ignore all my emails.
