Title: Matrix Man - and his multiple personalities...
Post by: EriCCire on February 16, 2003, 03:28:00 PM
Well guys even if you had a little hope that Matrix Man wasn't a scammer well heres somethign to make you more assured. First of all I bought a Hard drive from him that he Garanteed that is wasn't NOT D.O.A. (dead on arrival). When I got it I did everythinG thing I could, and guess what, It didn't work, and now he wont take it back. And now I have been talking to msnyder and Matrix man is supppoed to be trading his xs lite for msnyder's Matrix. I just talked to matrix man on aim and he claims to have them both and will sell me either one. And right now he doesnt have either one, becasue he sent out his x2 to msnyder and hasnt gotten msnyder's yet. and now look what he says on aim:
QUOTE

blanK titaN: do you have both chips right now?
SlimWealthy: yesism


So in plain english he is lying now I have proof and i am showing it to you.

In other words if you were too lazy to read this whole post read this

Do not buy anything from Matrix Man he is a fucking liar and a scammer!


here is most of his info i know

aim:SlimWealthy
x-s: Matrix Man
Name: Jon Martino
Address: 1584 Park Road
              Winfield, PA 17889

HSDEMONZ has a whole list of additional scams by this guy including his taking credit for another persons work. For those of you who were scammed by him I am truly sorry as no one should have to get ripped off like that.  The good news is that sooner or later a person who conducts bussiness like this either ends up screwing over the wrong person or ends up in handcuffs.

MatrixMan is a lonely little tool, who wishes he had the brains and skills to be like the people here.Ya see he has to practise to get things right, and obviously he fucks up and blows shit up quite a bit, so he makes you guys pay for it buy selling his fucked up things to ya...But all you dumb arses seem to fall for this crap, so that makes me think about who actually is the dumb arse, MatrixMan or his so called customers...To avoid some little poof, fag, cock sucker ripping you off why don't you go and buy from a reputable place
and /or mod the fuckin thing ya self.... Really it ain't that hard....     jester.gif  jester.gif  jester.gif

Some of you remember I had a post were I wanted to trade my almost new Matrix for an X2 Lite or Pro. Here's the deal I had worked out with MatrixMan:

He sends me X2 Lite (New), Header Pin, Wiring Harness, and Flash Cable

I send him Matrix and programmer

Here's what I recieved in the mail today:

I don't know what he did to it, but he claimed it was an new and unused X2 Lite, then after I posted this he PMed me and apologized and told me he thought it was an X2 Lite because the guy whose Xbox he is doing something to told him it was an X2 Lite. My bro in law tried to put it in his Xbox, but it doesn't work... Xbox need service error.

Are these pic before or after you attempted to use it?

Cause this looks used and abused!

Clealry.. and an xcuter 1 chip.. looks like mine more or less.. except for the scorch marks and abuse.

either way you got ripped... find out what the laws are in your area.. and consider filing a claim.  Even if he is too young.. in some jurisdictions.. his parents would be responsible.  I know many in Canada and in the States in the last 3 months have pursude similar cases against kids.. and have gotten the parents to pay up.. usually court ordered!

Like I siad.. shit differs from one area to the next!

Don't take getting ripped off!

This is why its better to just sell your matrix and buy a new Xecuter2 pro or lite chip.

I can't believe he would actually think that peice of crap was worthy of a trade for anything, I wouldnt take that for free.

Listen people.. I was talking with XANTIUM earlier today.. and he at the time wasn't aware of the transgressions of MATRIXMAN (Xantium can't possibly read everything posted.. busy man)

Anyway.. if you guys think he should be here.. you've got to report him.. otherwise he'll never know how bad the situation is!  XBOX-SCENE is not responsible.. but at the same time I'm sure XANTIUM doesn't need this clown bringing this site down.

Looks like he is now banned. smile.gif   Sorry to hear about the others that got scammed though.  Hopefully some kind of resolution can be worked out but I don't think anything he can do would redeem himself.

Yeah, he was in a deep pile of shit, it was either a bann or he would quit by himself.
I guess it had to be a bann

I'm just glad that I felt a bit wierd and didn't end up doing business with him.  He posted somewhere that he had a Matrix for $45 for sale.  I asked him if he would sell it to me and he said that he would only sell it if I sent him my Xbox for him to mod.

I may be a noob but I know that a pre-installed Matrix doesn't stand much chance of staying put during the return shipping.

Decided on an X2L...I'm a happy camper now. smile.gif

Don't flood his phone, guys it's time to leave him alone. He screwed a few people and he got banned, don't call his house, that's so annoying. Just think how pissed I got when he posted my name and full address on the board. Justice was served by banning him, just let it go...

I work for a company where part of our business is maintaining phone lists for perdictive dialers.  It would be a shame if his number some how got included in those lists.   ph34r.gif

If someone wanted to look around there are also ways to make calls through your PC.  Combine that with a few good proxy servers and you should be good to go.

"so he ripped off a few people"

Just 1 person he rips off deseves to have his head placed between a car door and have it closed over and over again.

i don't think he learned is lesson. he can just sign onto xbox-scene
again with a different alias, different ip. and he could scam more people.
do you want that to happen. people deserve better...

i should write a program to call his phone every 10 minutes until he changes
the number. THAT will teach him... and i hope he gets a spankin from his
mom-sister.... laugh.gif  laugh.gif

well I don't think Banning him would do any good I mean how hard is it to get another screen name on the scene...

anyways i say sign up his email address from every piece of jumk mail you can get him on...maybe the Gay Mens junkmail or something

It sucks to get ripped off by anyone, in any industry.  But, that being said, if your buying something grey area or possibly even outright illegal (and expect people who deal in these things to be of the highest moral standing) through the internet, you deserve to learn this lesson the hard way.  Make sure you know the person your dealing with (or someone who vouches for them) or that he lives close enough that you can trash his car after he rips you off.  

Thats my motto anyways.

Wouldn't be surprised. Interesting that after all this time he hasn't been able to get a single picture of his painted xboxs. I'm sure in 2 to 3 weeks he will try to post a picture of SOMEONE ELSE'S WORK again.  I hope some of his potential buyers come here first so that we can let them know who they are dealing with.
