Albert Audio on Ebay

72.128.212.98

It looks like this economy has all sorts of scammers coming out of the woodwork. A fellow from Taiwan selling wire on Ebay has apparently decided to plagiarize text, violate copyrights, and hijack VH Audio, Inc. trademarks of "UniCrystal" and "AirLok". I already e-mailed him to bring to his attention, but no action has been taken.
Here is the text of his EBay ad:
Albert Audio now offers UniCrystal 18 AWG Solid OCC Copper wire (Ohno Continuous Cast) with FEP Teflon insulation. Use the 18 AWG UniCrystal OCC copper with Airlok Dielectric for any signal wire hookup project, or make an EXCELLENT solid core speaker cable for lower power systems mated with high efficiency speakers. The Solid FEP Teflon Insulation UniCrystal copper wire is rated for use up to 600VDC.
The official VH Audio website text plagiarized: "Use the 18 AWG UniCrystal OCC copper with Airlok Dielectric for any signal wire hookup project, or make an EXCELLENT solid core speaker cable for lower power systems mated with high efficiency speakers.".
So, please, Mr Albert Tzeng of Albert Audio- do the right thing and remove all references to my trademarked products. You don't have them.

Yeah, This guy is doing several shady things on eBay, such as:
Competing with legitimate bidders using shill-bidding tactics to force up the prices. Just check any of his auctions and see in most cases that the initial and usually 2nd highest bidders have 100% activity with him(evidence of shill activity)!
Failing to deliver goods to those who manage to "snipe" items much below his "BUYITNOW" prices. He then says "parcel must be lost. We can re-send". By the time you realize he's stalling and the "replacement" isn't coming, you're past the 45 day Paypal claim period and its too late to leave feedback(hence the absence of negative feedback).
BTW, This Tseng_albert character(who was sued for scamming under the name of DIYZONE) has done this many times in the past, under such ebay seller names as Audiotek,mobile6699,hu6073,hsuan05,
,DIY.japan,music-in-life
a_kit_japan ,etc. eBay has shut most of them down due to complaints.
I've been ripped off, so Do NOT trust him!
