Besides the above skype chat, I have 100’s of emails going back and forth.
—–

I waited and waited and waited…. Money gone, but anyone else who will google this scammer might at least keep their money in their pocket. Go and place your order in China, seriously! You might have the same communication problems but they will ship the order. As for this guy, trust me, he can keep the money but besides this internet post, I will make his life difficult to the point where he will never forget not to lie,

Yes, I know, I’m dumb too for even trying ‘once again’ to do business with Pakistan or any other country in that area.

UPDATE 2015

More than a year later I receive an email from Farooq.

Hello Dear

how are you

happy Christmas day to you

also , i will send you your order of bjj kimonos next year in January

if you want bjj kimonos so you tell me again

you can order of bjj kimono change

i sure give you your order of bjj kimonos

thanks a lot

I don’t invest too much time in the email as I’m skeptical as hell and know that this guy will not deliver anyway. I think what happened was that some of his customers told him about this post and he thought by PROMISING to deliver the order one year later I would remove this post. My reply.

I will await my order you will send me that I paid for. Let me know if you need my new address.

His reply

Hello Dear

yes, i want your shipping address

so i will give you gis your address

also , if you need order change so you can

i was realy in big problem .

but i am easy

i dont like  your money food

also, i am very very sorry for order in late

i will give you your order 15 days in

please you send me bjj kimonos os order detail  or invoice

your order of bjj kimono 10 gis

please you send me agian sizes

thanks a lot

A few more emails exchange, then I suggest to make things easy for him.

 

Also, maybe it’s easier for you to just refund the money, rather than making the Gi’s, I’m happy with that as well. Also, once this is settled I can update the Google page (that’s what he calls this page) I wrote.

 

He replies with the following. Note I have already provided him my address several times now.

 

Hello Dear

i just give you your order of bjj gis

you bleve it i was realy big problem

but i just easy

so i send you your order of 10 gis and some belts

at 10 janvery

i just want your right shipping address and youe cell number

thanks a lot
