How James McConnell Commits Fraud

Based on multiple independent reports, the following pattern has been described. Please note these are allegations and individual circumstances vary.

  1. Attractive listings for computer components (e.g. GPUs, CPUs, storage) published at competitive prices.
  2. Customers asked to pay via bank transfer or other methods with limited buyer protection.
  3. Email communication from addresses purporting to be different staff members; some victims suspect these were aliases.
  4. Explanations about shipping delays, courier issues, or supplier problems.
  5. Communication slows, then stops; website and social channels are reportedly taken down.

Tip: For high-value items, prefer payment methods with strong buyer protections (e.g., credit card). Be cautious of pressure to pay by bank transfer.
