wheres my computer Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Hello everyone, I contacted iunlock (a popular poster about alienware products here) about 4 years ago to do a repaste on my 17r4 laptop. During that time he said that we was capable of building a custom water cooled pc. I sent him a list of parts and configurations that I wanted and also sent him a 3970x threadripper cpu and about $6,000 to build this computer. Over the 3.5 years since then, we have been back and forth on emails and discord about how/why everything kept getting delayed and how/why there were problems fitting things etc... Then over the past 4 months he has completely stopped responding to my emails and blocked me on discord. I am in the process of filing a lawsuit on my end but I just want to reach out and let everyone be warned that he is a scammer that is not to be trusted. Please reach out to me if you have had similar experiences with him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reciever Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 He was an affluent laptop bencher on NBR but I don't believe I have seen anyone posting under that handle here. Sorry to hear about your troubles though @Rage Set had similar issues but in reversed roles. I believe he is transitioning out of system integration. I didn't know iunlock did system integration. Did he become a vendor or was this closer to a handshake amongst gentleman? 2 Telegram / TS3 / Twitter 2700X to 5800X3D upgrade! With a 10850K cameo!

Rage Set Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 I have spoken to iunlock in the past, on NBR and a few times on Discord. He wanted me to help him secure computer parts, as at the time I was the owner of an SI/MSP for small business. He saw how giving I was on NBR and perhaps hoped I would help him. It never amounted to anything as I was quite busy at the time and I never give out my personal information...to a very select few. I rarely ventured out of the Official Overclocking thread on NBR (and you can say the same about this forum). I am sorry about how things went. You can't be too careful online (trust me, I know). I hope you find resolution and justice. EDIT: I want to add and perhaps it was just my company, but for even the highest end of builds...including completely custom hardlined watercooled rigs, it would take a month max if we had all of the parts in stock. If we didn't, we would keep the client updated every week without fail. I also insisted to all of my employees of including build photos in those updates. 2 2 A Change Is Gonna Come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MogRules Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 I had a much smaller experience with the guy as well. Sent him something, he said he would pay shipping etc and it never happened. It was a small enough amount I just let it go, but I think it probably speaks towards his character. I dealt with him a lot over the last few years as part of another group and he was very hard to get along with at times, just a very odd person. He asked me to send him some other stuff, but something just felt off, so I never even considered it. Good luck getting your money back @wheres my computer, hope you can track it all down. 3 Alienware M18R2 | i9 14900hx | RTX4090 | 64GB DDR5 Alienware Area51m | i9 9900k | RTX2080 | 64GB DDR4 Alienware M15R5 | R9 5900hx | RTX3070 | 32GB DDR4 Alienware 17R4 | i7 7820HK | GTX1080 | 32GB DDR3 ( Dead, RIP ) Alienware Aurora R13 | i7 12700k | RTX3070Ti | 32GB DDR4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vasudev Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 I don't think that discord channel is in use, it was called LiquidHz server or something. Its been years since I heard any updates from them and once NBR forums was taken down, I stopped using discord/tap-a-talk entirely. I believe iunlock and Deex were present in Steven's OwnOrDisown channel along with alexnvidia. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
