Laptopkingz scammers using Ben's portable laptop pics

The pics seem to be back up. I find it funny that the message board with all the scam warnings has disappeared, though. lol

I did send him an e-mail, asking to see some of HIS work, and he tracked me down on Y! Messenger and tried to tell me those were his. Needless to say, I blocked him.

That's quite funny because in the descriptions of his youtube videos he says this:

Here are some pictures of the (console name) Laptop built by Ben Heck. When you buy a laptop from laptopkingz.com it will look like this. To find out more information on how to buy an (console name) Laptop, go to my YouTube channel.

True, but he makes no effort to mention this where it counts: on his actual website..and with the disclaimer of him suing people who misuse the material on his site to the fullest extent of the law further suggests that those are his photos which are obviously not.

Yeah i know, but on his site it implies that those pics are his. Then on youtube, he says that they're Ben's. That in itself is failure. I mean if you're going to try and take credit for someone else's work, at least be consistent about it and try not to admit that those aren't your pics.

What if Ben hired Johnnie Cochran?

Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, Blake Carter 's attorney would certainly want you to believe that his client created these laptops and that those pictures belong to him, and they make a good case. Hell, I almost felt pity myself! But, ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, I have one final thing I want you to consider. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it; that does not make sense!

South Park ftw!

So he lives in Winston-Salem Hmmm...

I was just there a few days ago and i go back in two weeks. Shall I pay him a visit, does anyone else live close to NC beside me and Shock Slayer. My town is wright on the border of Virgina and NC so it wouldn't be to far for me to go.

Hi folks, as my first post to the forums here, let me contribute some information to you all; This morning I emailed this dude about getting an Xbox 360 laptop, and he replied with the following message:

*COPYED FROM EMAIL*yes i am, please call me at (336)409-2697

I hope that the phone number is of use to someone here heh, I would call it myself, but I dont have long distance on my phone:///

BTW, the email that I got him on is indeed the ipodtouch444@yahoo.com account.

Happy killing!-Christian

Guys. I wasnt harrassing HIM. I was telling his domain/server owner about this. Therefor, they could revoke his rights to use the website. (If its against their TOS).

Wow, When I leave. People find a person trying to capitalize on Ben's popularity. The sad thing is, I'm surprised it took this long for a idiot like this to come out of the woodwork. And started to use Ben's Popularity to gain a couple thousands of scammed dollars.

And believe it or not, Ben may not be the only one here that has people using their ideas to scam people.

I have reason to believe that my original G-MOTE has been used as part of a scam. If you look at my Video of the G-MOTE on youtube. And Look at the sites that have linked to the video. One of the sites was a Yahoo Auction Page in Hong Kong. I can understand if the video was featured on Yahoo for some reason. But Being used on a Yahoo Auction page in Hong Kong. The video no longer appears to be there. But The proof that my video was linked from that url is.
