1.0 out of 5 stars This seller is a FRAUD ... Read on ..., March 12, 2009

This review is from: Dell 3.0 Ghz. Super Fast GX Computer, Big 250GB Hard Drive, 2GB RAM, DVD Burner (DVD-RW), and New Licensed Windows XP with Genuine Microsoft Authorized CD (Personal Computers)

I purchased this PC from this seller, assuming that his description of the PC was accurate. I bought into it because his feedback is always good. However, when I got this machine, it was only 512MB RAM and not 2GB like the description promised. I contacted seller and left him negative feedback, to which he responded to promptly ... He apologised profusely and offered to send me two 1GB each sticks of RAM, and if I removed my negative feedback right away, he'd throw in a 4GB flash drive for my troubles. I wouldn't have removed the FB if I knew that I couldn't replace it with another. The seller knew this, and that's why he had me do it. He sent me that flash drive to cover his behind.

Basically, this guy bribed me so he could get more sales and sell his fake PCs. Also, this seller dropped the price, [...] ... I wonder why that is ... Too many complaints ? Anyone who bought this PC and left good feedback obviously doesn't know how to check their systems and HDs to make sure they are accurate.

So, I removed the feedback and received the RAM and flash drive in the next business day.

Today, I tried to move files from my other PC (which is 176GB HD storage), and it stopped at 30GB to tell me there isn't enough space to do so. I checked it out, and what do you know, it was only 40GB !!! So, not only did this seller goof up on the RAM, he also lied about the HD space, as well as the processor. He says it's 2.8 and it's only 2.4 ... So far, this has been nothing but a nightmare.

I will NOT be removing this review this time, because I think this seller's potential victims/customers have the right to know what they are purchasing.

I will be more than happy to provide screen shots. As a matter of fact, here they are :

If for some reason, the above links do not show up, feel free to e-mail me : [e-mail]

I wish I didn't have to leave a 1-5 star review for this product, because the seller doesn't even deserve one star.

This review is from: Dell 3.0 Ghz. Super Fast GX Computer, Big 250GB Hard Drive, 2GB RAM, DVD Burner (DVD-RW), and New Licensed Windows XP with Genuine Microsoft Authorized CD (Personal Computers)

I bought a refurbished Dell from GrupoComp (a.k.a. A Computer for Everybody)in March and the DVD drive didn't work. They sent another one and it was too large. Then they sent another one that was too small. This was going on during March. I requested a refund and Shawn said ok. Then I sent the computer back on April 7th with all the requested forms. I sent it Confirmation Receipt requested and they said they never got the computer back but I have a receipt from the Post Office saying they got it on April 13 at 11:13 am. So now I'm in the process of getting a refund but they are being total jerks about it. Don't buy from them! I sure wont. They are about the worst sellers I've seen on Amazon.

When I received my computer I took it home and hooked everything up. All that happened is that the fan came on. I sent an e-mail to the company and they sent me a form to send it back for repair. I send it UPS, at my expense, and it shows they sign for it on Tuesday. I contact the company on Thursday to find out what's happening, and get told that it is scheduled to go to the diagnostic bench on Monday. That's almost a week from when they get it. I'm waiting to see what's going to happen next. I will keep you posted and pray it all works out OK.
