TWEAKNEWS.NET DEFRAUDED AGAIN!

Posted by: [NT] on: 06/29/2004 10:52 AM [ Print | 4 comment(s) ] · 3472 views

Tweaknews.net has caught yet another person posing as a hardware reviewer and trying to obtain expensive hardware illegally. This time the young man was trying to get some expensive Twinx 1024-3200ll Pro modules from Corsair.

Here is the forum topic where I lay out all the information on what happened.



This is posted entirely for its value as a news item, i cannot condone the harrasment that tweaknews.net here calls for.
Think before doing something stupid.

I think you might want to rephrase "... trying to obtain illegal and expensive hardware."
I didnt know RAM was illegal :/

To me it seems that Corsair acted a bit unprofessional in this situation and should've attempted to contact the proper authorities over this guy posing as a reviewer to try and sport free hardware. Instead, tweaknews and the marketing representative took matters into their own hands.

I understand why tweaknews is quite angry about this, but this might border on the legal grounds of harassment. I'm not sure what the law in Australia states, but technically this young man hasn't broken any laws (according to US law). Tweaknews and Corsair have, however.

Anyways, people should get their dues, but there is a process by which this can be handled that clearly has not been taken.

A bunch of tossers at tweak news, I am ashamed to be an aussie after reading that crap. This was basically posted because somebody here wants everybody to see he got an email from corsair.
Big whoopee, the queen of England wrote to me once and asked me to go down on her but do you see me bragging about it?
Corsair should be reprimanded and the article writer should be disowned by Australians and have his keyboard removed.
tosser he he
My opinion :)

I all of a sudden got really pissed of about your article especially about the section where you posted Todd's address. He did wrong but you F****d up.
I have some interesting news, Typical wanker father whom thinks that "I" do no wrong just read your article at my request. He is having his secretary call Todd and offer him legal advise for free. Typical wanker father thinks you broke the law big time and thanked me for the Pro rata case that will further endorse his career as an Internet Lawyer.

Cheers
Now I am looking for your address :)
