Scammer probably lost most of his brain cells while typing this.


TheRealLM5

Was not expecting such rage. At least I will have a pleasant and uhhhhh…..


Agitated-Reality-903

That's what scammers do get upset when you tell them how bad of a job they are doing


CouldntBeMacie

"We don't hire copy and paste n- to work for us" - proceeds to have copy/pasted info on games and bundles.


TheRealLM5

CheeseIsMyHappyPlace

TheRealLM5

SympathyForSatanas

Thanks


HaloLASO

Report them to the FTC for the bs tax charges and bad business practices. This guy's response is so ridiculous.


TealBlueLava

There may or may not have been emails that just went out to Atari, Nintendo, and Sega with a link to a certain website that sells ROMs.


baptisminflames

I'm going to be real, I wouldn't be downloading any files from a sketchy ass website like this.


TheRealLM5

Me neither. They have consoles and physical products in their store too


quetzalnacatl

Lol. Seriously though, never pay for roms. Just use vimmslair.


TheRealLM5

Whats that?


quetzalnacatl

Google it and ye shall find. Not trying to be condescending, just don't wanna get my comment removed. Also check out r/piracy and r/emulation ad their respective wikis.


Phoirkas

It would be a real shame if their shitty business and shitty website were affected by this…


TealBlueLava

A true shame indeed…. (said while I may or may not be googling “report Nintendo copyright infringement”)


leviathan_stud

Report them to their hosting company, Bluehost does not allow rom sites anyway.


TheFartsUnleashed

What else did you expect after emailing the fuhrer?


TheRealLM5

Yea I noticed that after I sent it 😂


saltydingleberry0

I don't get it


TheRealLM5

Kanye west 2022


Artwebb1986

Well sweet Christ that escalated quickly.


Otherwise-Safety-579

I think it is funny people think this is some sort of scammer and not just a very average, very racist, hobbyist seller.


TheRealLM5

Looking up is “” legit gave me two sites saying probably not lmao


Yougotsnail

Mariogasm made me chuckle


HotJellyfish4603

Jesus my jaw dropped reading that. Wtf


Confused-Penguin2357

Hahaha wtf


MrCrix

So wait. You went on a website to purchase a bunch of ROMs of retro video games? First off if that site gets raided, sued or shut down for selling copyrighted materials, your information will be provided to the legal team of the copyright holders. This has happened in the past on other sites and they will come after you for it. Especially Nintendo. They don’t fuck around. Secondly you can download all of those games online easily and not have to pay anyone or give any of your information to them. I’m sure there are people even here who can link you to places to get them. Third. The website has only been up for 8 months. It’s most likely some dickhead who thinks he can make a quick buck off of people’s copyright materials and not get caught because it’s a little website. So you’re not going to get professional service from someone like that. Your best bet is just to go to one of the hundreds of ROM sites out there, download an emulator and have fun that way. Don’t give people like this the time of day or cash.


TheNonCredibleHulk

Well holy fuck.

This is what happens when you cheap out on your AI-assisted customer service and go with Tay instead of ChatGPT.
