hey everyone- despite the cheap prices, don't be fooled by the-sport-line.com as they are dirty scammers. See the convo below- there is no such thing as 'RedXtreme bar' etc.

Hi..

What ??

I think you wrong

Thanks
Quoting S:

Miko,

Thanks for the fake discount.

I have enjoyed this exchange but am going to end it now.

There is no such thing as the RedXtreme bar, with blue dyneema lines or without. I made it up, just like I made up sminkers. You fool- there is no such thing as sminkers! Didn't you even google it to see that a sminker is someone who puts on your makeup?

And Dingo Donger isn't a kite but a native dog penis. Tosspot means that you are an idiot, Tosspot Mega means that you are a very big idiot.

You obviously do not respect other people- you have tried to steal my money. I am sure that you have stolen money from many other good people- and many who trusted you and couldn't afford it. Do you wonder about the sadness of those people? and that it is all because of you? That money you stole from them, I hope that burns a hole in your pocket and that you think of all the sorrow from it. If you believe in a god, would that god support you in this stealing?

Please shut your website down and stop stealing peoples money. Think about the purpose of your life- you make the world a worse place. you are adding to the evil.

I am going to post these emails online- to everyone who will know that you are a thief. I will also send it to the indonesian authorities who I hope will find you and prosecute you. I doubt they will, but here is hoping.

Miko,

I talked to the other guys and that price is a bit more than we were hoping for- but maybe we can do a deal with boards as well? We heard that with the North DingoDonger 2012 they are releasing a freestyle board- the North TosspotMega 2012 - looking for 2 x 137cm and 1x 134. This is also a new product not yet in shops here yet and not on the internet yet- can your supplier get this too? What would be the price for these 3 TosspotMega's with the three pink Dingo Dongers?

Cheers,

S

Hi,

Ok, come in pink color

but the price is

10m.....USD1299

How about this price ??

Ok, that's fine! We heard they come in pink colour?

They're a new kite- not in the shops yet or on the Internet- but some shops are getting them early. Do you have them already? If you do we really want to buy 3, 2x10m, 1x8m- and would pay $1000 usd each.

Have you got them?

Hello,

Can you explain for North DingoDongers 2012 ??


Thanks

Quoting S:

Miko,

I was talking with my friends and we were really excited about getting
the Vegas'- however one of my friends was talking with one of the kite
shops here- who told him that there is a new North kite coming out-
that will be better than the Vegas- even with the RedXtreme 45 bar.
They haven't put it on the web site yet- but they have supplied some
of these new kites to their best dealers. they are supposed to be
completely revolutionary- quite different direction for North. As I
see that you have a lot of different kites- and must be one of the
best dealers in indonesia- I was wondering if you had this kite? See
we would like to buy 3 of them, and as they haven't come out yet, we
would be prepared to pay a fair bit more. He said they are called
DingoDongers- awesome for freestyle and big jumping- they are going to
sell for $2,800 for 10m here, with similar prices a bit cheaper
smaller, a bit more expensive bigger- but we notice that your prices
are very cheap. We would be prepared to pay say $1,000 per kite (which
is much more than you are selling the vegas for) if you have them in
stock and could ship them to us within a week.

we would still want 2 10m North DingoDongers 2012 complete, and 1 8m
North DingoDonger 2012 complete- if we can do this we wouldnt want the
Vegas' any more, as the guy in the shop here said the DingoDonger is
going to be much better. I still cant believe that they are going to
have glow in the dark strips on it! that is so cool.

Anyhow we really want to get them as soon as possible, so please
confirm if you have them and can ship them here, and we will send the
money- otherwise we are probably going to wait until they come out-
which should be in a month and a half- and buy them here.

Cheers,

S

Also Miko, its a great deal and I talked to some of my friends-
another one wants a 10m 2012 vegas with the RedXtreme Bar, and another
friend is looking for an 8m vegas as well? but we are all really keen
to see a photo of the RedXtreme 45 bar with the sminkers before we
make the order.

Cheers again,

Great Miko- is it possible I can get a photo of the bar with the
sminkers- as I need to see if they fit with my Turbo Twister leash. I
know that for sure the Naish fits with it, but not sure about the
North.

Thanks again,
all would be in colour purple grey as we think that is the best colour

Sorry after the last email, good news is that I can send the money
over my web banking okay to indonesia. Please just confirm about the
blue dyneema lines or the yellow spectra lines and the RedXtreme
sminkers, and send the bank details- I can then transfer money and
give you shipping details.

Thats great! Is it the RedXtreme 45 with the blue dyneema lines, or
the yellow spectra lines? I am really excited that you have the
RedXtreme 45 because it is hard to find. It also comes with the
RedXtreme sminkers, right?

I can orgnise a bank transfer, however my bank is very suspicious of
sending money to Indonesia as sometimes people who are not trustworthy
take the money and don't send the things they should. I will need to
contact them to work out what kind of verification is required. You
don't have some other kind of secure 3rd party way to transfer the
money?

Thanks Miko,

I am very hopeful of getting the RedXtreme 45 bar with the kite-
perhaps there is an extra charge?

Also, I have some problems making international bank transfers-

Hi Miko,

I have a few questions first-

1) what colours do you keep of the North Vegas?
2) what is the entire price for the North Vegas 10m?
3) which model of the bar does it come with? The 5th Element, World
Cup edition or (as would be best) the RedXtreme 45?
4) what are the shipping costs to Australia, and how long should it
take?

Thanks,

Why dont you tell him you can western union only and send him on a 'safari' to pick up his $$$ (eg- i have transfered $2500 and you need to pick it up asap.. he will be en route in a flash.!

get him to travel 200 - 500km to the 'only western union you could find'. He'll use his own money to get there and then when he does.. send him again saying you made a mistake. Dodgy up some transfer papers and email them to him. He's spending his own money on travel and accom and food.

He'll be travelling all over the countryside more than the leyland brothers.. get even with these guys.. just be smarter than them.

Geeze, I shoulda sent him on the run around for western union cash- may not be too late... And bombarding him for North DingoDongers and Tosspot Mega 2012's sure would be fun... or just so many orders he doesnt have a clue what is real and what is fake...

How can you find no evidence of this domain name being involved in a scam.

They are selling goods at 20% RRP, have no product knowledge, and their site won't allow you to choose crucial details like the Size or colour of the kite you want to purchase.

The entire reason for the site to exist is for people to send money to indonesia and get nothing in return.

You are based in Nobby Beach and therefore under QLD jurisdiction.

This requires further action or it will be taken at this end.
