We met at his house, located on Arcos street, number 3143, 2nd floor, department “D” (2nd body). I made the payment for 2 Iphones resulting in the total amount of $ 4,000 (four thousand Argentinian pesos). The receipt that I got, contains the following paragraph:

“I received from Mr. XXXXX XXXXX $ 4000 (four thousand pesos) in advance payment for the purchase of 2 cellular phones Apple Iphone 8Gb which will be delivered around October 25th, 2007. The date could be modified depending on origin country’s stock”.

Flavio De Mitri

Since I paid, until October 25th, on each consultation regarding the order, Mr Flavio De Mitri said that the same would arrive at the stipulated date and that there would be no problem. Starting on October 25th, the answer became another: “problems at the customs office because of the (presidential 07) elections .” Finally, on Monday, November 19th he released the news:

“Any delay excuse turned out to be a total lie that I was involved without knowledge of it.

This person with whom I worked with, has a long record of scams.

…

I was stuck in the middle of this big lie, which I defended until the last minute thinking it was not. I never had suspected because I had known him for some time.

…

Anyway, I am working with a new importer very well. These are honest people whot carry out and, in fact, I am beginning to sell again. Needless to say, I have the idea to cancel my debt with you. What I need is time to work even harder to be able to get the money to re-buy your Iphone and give it to you properly “

Doing a little research on this person, who apparently scamed Mr De Mitri (and therefore scamed me like many other customers), I actually discovered that his name appeared in many forums and web pages giving warnings not to operate commercially with him, along with many people testimonies who were affected by him.

This person was identified as Ruben Norberto Gammuto, residing in 9 de Julio 79 1º B or 1º de Mayo 2549, Rosario, Santa Fe. This man dedicates to import and sell photography and video equipment. Mr. DiMitri claimed that he communicated repeatedly after learning about the past of this character, in order to unmask him, receiving in response that such accusations were false and that there was no scam.

After several telephone calls where Di Mitri insisted that he was cheated by Gammuto, he vowed to find a solution as he expressed by e-mail, where he said that the profits of each sale could let him accumulate enough capital to pay off this debt and continue bringing equipments. Today (11/22/07), after asking for the full refund of the money that I have paid, the answer is:

“I do not have a fixed income, it all depends on the sales I make. So I can not give you an exact date, I do not want to create false expectations, given the background. I can tell you within 30 days, as soon as possible” Mr. De Mitri says.
