ATTEMPTED FIRST CONTACT

Hmm it seems PC World now ant to phone me so I have handed them my number.

Odd as they have previously had it because they have had to call me about all the crap and faulty Advent Tablet PCs I had to take back and that was five times, lol!

This is over the Corsair Vengeance K70 Keyboard (professional typing and gaming keyboard) that costs over £100! Lol.

So I have given them my number and stated the following ...

EMAIL ...

Dear Shirley

Sorry I missed your email.

I have to say I am finding it pretty disgusting that the British public have had their wages halved in value because there is a secret retail con going on with all whereby your getting goods worth less than half the retail value and at times one tenth even.

The latter happened to me and they lost in court. This is rife with Shop Direct who were blaise about it which led me to realise it was much more widespread and have since had 5 refurbished cameras from Argos, refurbished fan from B&Q and now this. In fact the Sony Cybershot Camera I bought from you previously and the Epson printer are the only things I have bought in the past few years that were new and have not failed.

It is only a matter of time before there is an outcry over this the likes of which Britain has never before seen and the negative effects it will have when it comes to dealing with imports and exports will be devastating and they will only have themselves to blame but no it will be the fault of the public all over again no doubt.

My number is *********

Yours

THE SECOND COMING OF EMAIL

Well I have heard nothing back from PC World, which is convenient that they kept answering me when I said I wanted to buy a product but now I know I have a damaged and refurbished (why do I keep typing refurbished when they do not even bother performing that task?!) product the guns as usual fall silent.

Is it not hilarious, ladies and gentlemen, that they do not even recognise this silence as looking very bad towards them?

I should point out something here actually that reveals a little more in the way I do things in that I clearly stated that in certain areas there is no more I can do and nothing more I can find out or obtain than I have done already. Effectively stating that a particular chapter is over?

But despite my announcing this I simply knew that by their own actions, or more accurately in-actions, that they would keep themselves in the spotlight on here without any help from me This is true of all but most noticeably and most importantly and most alarmingly this involves the NHS and all its associated organisations all creaming money off the British taxpayer to dizzying and eye watering amounts no one has bothered to add up just yet!

A very good lesson I am sure you will agree to all these over confident and delusional idiots and their jobsworths that they are not the brightest people on the planet, in the country or the bloody room!

Unable to see that refusing in anyway to just bite the bullet and end it only serves to make themselves look ever more guilty all the time!

Now what you will see is exactly the same as what went on with Very Catalogue, whereby they will just ignore email after email after email thinking that later on if they just SAY they never received any that no one would be able to prove otherwise?!

Therefore I manage to make all others look just as incompetent and as stupid as I did Very Catalogue and need I remind you I also did that IN COURT! Without even being present!

Also I would rather any issues that arise these days to just be sorted out.

Oh yeah I forgot something! Lol, those Advent Vega Tegra Note Tablets now like absolutely certain to have all been refurbished too as I only bought three but returned FIVE.

Now think about that. I bought THREE but returned FIVE!

The poor workers in their that take all this flak for their crap also even have these wands waved over them when they leave work just to check that they are not stealing any crap?! And of cxourse I do mean CRAP!

ROFLMFAO!

Dear Wendy Doyle

CORSAIR VENGEANCE K70 KEYBOARD

You seem to have gone a bit quiet since my last email and its revelations which is quite obvious now that whoever set up this idea for all British Retailers to sell the British people a load od crap and refurbished goods as new, thereby actually devaluing both the pound and the wages of each member of the public, obviously thought British people were far too stupid to spot.

Now hat I find most interesting of all in all this is just how many naive and amoral British idiots there are that actually act against their fellow British citizens by actually backing up this kind of action, knowingly do it, and then actually try to defend it with lies.

Oddly you have not done this at the speed it is normally done which when started was a phone call to my mobile within thirty minutes with Argos and Sony to a day with B&Q to an email in a day or two with the others.

Lately I have decided that any email containing attempts to lie to me and defend this sordid practise by attempting to state it does not take place would be replied with an email that contains both the address of my blog, the numbers of people that I have attracted (being 130,000 I now find out Google has been missing a couple of ZEROS off the end meaning millions) along with the address of the blog and a link to the video in question, which is rather damaging for your company let me tell you!

Oh and if the silent treatment because there are ferocious conversations taking place with your legal departments then tell them not to bother! Trust me I am absolutely thorough when I do the things I do and make absolutely certain that whatever I think is going on, which is correct 90% of the time, I say it is only what I 'think'. Unless of course I have documentation/emails/screenshots/secretly recorded audio/video to prove what I state is true. The interesting thing is that not only did none of the subjects on my blog stop to think how much I had on them they also failed to ask themselves how much there is in total, over 100GB. At a quite conservative estimate of that I assure you.

But now just as all of the guns have fallen silent so do those I catch out almost immediately.

To be convince people that I know what I am doing as well as what I am talking about I did state for quite some time that in the event I am right and that all that I claim are corrupt and performing grand scale fraudulent things I stated then when the proverbial cat is out of the bag, or my existence and the threat I pose has reached the deaf idiots high enough in government, that all would fall silent ... together and simultaneously.

I must admit though that your own silence is a first as it was immediate to what I told you though this was surprisingly little other than that I know your selling refurbished stuff and not advertising it as such which is quite illegal.

Even the naive and the basic human reactions of all that I cover and being so predictable all serve to tell me a story I can then explain on my blog to extremely good effect. I had a friend here yesterday that laughed at what I told him but recently had a disagreement in a shop over being sold crap and stated this to the sales person. They suggested Argos where he stated he knew they were selling him crap and the sales person did not bat an eyelid at this claim and said 'well yeah but as long as you advertise it' to which he point out that they did not and he was talking about their new items.

It is because of first off Very Catalogue (so include Littlewoods and Isme in that), Argos and then B&Q doing this that I ended up going to your store which both and and many of these that follow me and my personal friends and family saw as the last bastion where electrical goods are involved. 

Now I cannot help but wonder if any new goods actually enter the UK directly from the manufacturers any more and I find it likely now this is not the case and that UK based HQ's exist merely as a front in their attempts in their cloak and dagger attitudes towards the British public and likely do very little.

Or as an example Nikon UK lied to me about several issues, as well as their engineers getting it wrong, of both their cameras, supply and their authorised dealers which they have now proved are not worth a wet ... Ice Cream Sunday!

So to recap then, I have a Corsair Vengeance K70 Professional Mechanical Keyboard that is made of solid aluminium but which has a large buckle in said aluminium that could only have happened while being completely out if its box and all its wrappings!

Therefore a substandard and inferior product being worth LESS than the value expected by your company for purchase is now sitting on my lap and becoming infamous along with all my other videos on my YouTube account and also within my blog posts! As is your stunned silence I might add as will any further silence that continues for the next week or more.

I am awaiting your company's decision on what to do about this.

Believe me when I say that a great deal of professional people that the British public attach much more intellect to than they happen to possess have been laid bare by me and completely slain for all to see and hear on my blog. These contain a dozen GPs and Doctors along with paper work of embarrassment about three dozen in total spanning over fifteen years along with Police Officers, Paper Bag Police Officers and Police Detectives, Bailiffs, Courts, Local Councils and a fair few others.

With all that I simply do have to ask ...

... are you seriously trying to think something up instead of just dealing with the problem swiftly?

If so do you really not see how this will end up looking quite bad for you if you continue?

Over confidence and delusions of grandeur are one of those things that I have actually taken from those I have opposed and turned it in on themselves to rather great as well as an extremely embarrassing (for them) effect.

I would much rather this was sorted out quickly as I have enough evidence and data on my blogs and I now find out I have half a million followers (read followers and not visitors). The fact that I have reached this number in a little over 18 months means that in another 18 months things in Britain are going to look very different, very different indeed.

Now I still look forward to hearing what your company has decided to do.

Yours

PC WORLD EXCLUSIVE ERGONOMIC CORSAIR KEYBOARD

I just typed out several paragraphs and lost the lot, my bloody god people it is only text man!! Sort yourselves out ort a method to stop companies getting too rich too quick because they then provide shitty services will have to be put in place!

I lost all my tags too! Jesus Christ!!

Start again for the umpteenth time!

Now then here is a video of me unboxing a Corsair Vengeance K70 Keyboard I recieved from PC World. This is a professional keyboard make no mistake and one that costs £105 to buy and has keys sitting on Cherry MX Red switches, mechanical and professional, and light up keys that allow you to type in the dark and also do not rub off like so many others.

However when I get home and do the unboxing, or this video, you will see and hear me being a little excited and relieved about it up to a point. A point when I realise they keyboard is damaged!

Yes I said a damaged keyboard and it gets worse!

These keys sit atop a sheet of aluminium, or I think it is aluminum but certainly metal. To the top edge and the right most corner you will see a scroll wheel for adjusting volume. If you look to the top edge of the scroll wheel you should be able to make out a bent or buckled edge to the keyboard?

This is metal and around two millimetres think! This was not done inside the box and the keyboard had to be out of it for this to occur!

So yes after finding out that Shop Direct were up to this practise and so blaise about it they took me to court, and LOST, over it, after being sold no less then five cameras by Argos all of which were refurbished and faulty and then sold an item from B&Q that was the same here is the last outpost that is electrical high street retailers PC World stroke Currys, or Dixons, also up to the exact same thing!

It beggars belief, it realy does!

WHAT IN THE PC WORLD

Right now I am going to shock readers once again as I stumble across yet more major league illegalities and corruption and this time we leap from public services to privater companies once again!

Now we all remember what happened with the court case where I won? Without leaving the house!

I retrieved my Corsair Vengeance K70 Keyboard today from PC World and one the main reasons I went for it was that the professional keys were fixed atop a solid aluminium frame so it would not get damaged easily.

Umm except imagine my surprise when I am filming an unboxing when I suddenly pause in the video because the actual aluminium frame itself has a large dent in it that protrudes upwards around three millimetres showing on obvious gap where there should not be one?!

Yes you read that correctly! The professional aluminium keyboard I had delivered for collection at the local store is damaged out of the box. Which means it was also damaged ... OUT OF THE BOX!

When I post the video on YouTube, remember boys and girls this is a professional keyboard built to take knocks and for professionals that is damaged on the toughest part of the keyboard!!!

I really do kid you not and I will add the video into this post in a later edit today or tomorrow, I am sure it is no registering some key presses too?! Every now and then I look up and several letters are missing! Not one here and there where I curse myself for making a typo, but half of a whole word missing.

Not looked to see if their are any drivers I have to download yet! I have sent an email to PC World about this basically telling them that a refurbished and damaged £105 keyboard is not £105 and that they had better come up with a solution and quick.

Hmm I am now recalling the salesman saying something about not being able to return the item, which now reminds me of Argos having this policy with their cameras even though five out of fiove were refurbished and faulty!! Should have picked up on that one! But then I never thought it would happen again and not with something that is a professional item at the end of the day!

Other than that it looks fantastic though one of the key points for me was the textured game keys and I am not sure I would continue using them as they are a little weird with normal typing, as of right now. But you can change these. PLus the number 3 key is missing its '£' symbol as are the numbers 1 through 6 so you had better get used to remembering where the symbols are or switch those number keys back and forth a lot?! Hmm maybe I could just change the number keys back and leave the textured 'WASD' keys for directional movement in games? Yeah that might work?!

Anyway here is the email I sent to PC World ... and you had better prepare yourself, despite warning them, for yet another idiotic and pathetic along with patronizing email saying very stupid things?! As this is generally how it turns out?!

Hmm do you think that they keep back the good stuff and the really real stuff for those of a higher order in the hierarchy of British Society? Like DOCTORS?!

LMAO!!!

EMAIL TO PC WORLD ...

Dear Wendy Doyle

Umm I have a problem!

I picked up the keyboard from my local PC World store in Enfield and I got home with it and filmed myself unboxing the keyboard for my blog and youtube account. Accounts that have amassed over 130,000 people in 18 months and rising. I cover a great many areas of science as well as computing and indeed the letters after my name at the foot of this email are for Applied Computing.

Now imagine my reaction and how it looks on film when I realise that the keyboard I have picked up is a damaged one and likely refurbished,m albeit extremely badly.

Now before you go into a knee jerk reaction giving me a whole list of reasons of how and why your company would not do this ... STOP! JUST DON'T!!

One of my blogs is on corruption and the sole reason I have been using your store/company is that I have had this from elsewhere and quite unfortunately for these companies they had no idea I had a very popular blog on the subject! If you check your records you will see that I bought a Sony Cybershot Bridge Camera from you and this was fter giving up on Argos who supplied me with five cameras in a row that were all refurbished and faulty!

In fact when you point out the fact that this action is illegal they all had a laid back attitude about it, as did a number of public services I investigated for corruption. Let me tell you this did not end well for them! I refused to pay for one item, was eventually taken to court and they lost and the court refused to force me to pay them a single penny!

That company was Shop Direct owner of Littlewoods, Very and Isme Catalogues and the whole thing was covered on my blog! As was Argos and B&Q!

This left you and Amazon as the only electrical stores left I could buy things from in the hope that they were not damaged or refurbished and it is very easy to spot when the stock and sourcing is a little ... off, shall we say. In fact it is all done so incompetently I am at a loss to understand how this was not spotted beforehand!

So back to this Corsair Vengeance K70 Keyboard! The keyboard was chosen due to the interchangeable textured keys, the cherry MX switches and the aluminium frame, the latter not to be found on any other keyboards outside of Corsairs. Each cheery MX switch sits atop the aluminium frame in a recess and along the top and bottome edges are a rasied aluminium area. To the right side of the raised edge sits the custoomising keys, the windows key of switych and towards the right most edge a scroll wheel. The top most edge of the recess has a lip that protrudes around 2 millimetres. It is the exact point whereby this keyboard has been dropped, ERGO WHILE OUTSIDE OF ITS PACKAGING, and the solid aluminium edge had a curved dent that protrudes upwards!! Right against the right top edge scroll wheel and this is aluiminium we are talking about here and this is raised by three millimetres at least with a clear to see gap!!

Now I do not think I need explain any further of the various laws that have been broken and do not rest on the fact that everyone is at is OK, as I believe my readers, which will include over half the populace in eighteen months time, will agree with you. I need no question mark on the rear end of that last sentence.

Also my readers know something else about me, that I am a disabled guy with a condition that causes some quite horrid effects on me and many areas of pain along wiuth loss of sleep, so I get angry and cranky very easily at times.

Now I am going to state that I am not happy at all with this situation and cannot explain just how frustrated I am about this as its just another thing in a long line of things and even the bloody case to my computer build has a dent on the rear.

Ninety percent of electrical items I have bought in the UK in the last 5 years have been faulty and refurbished and this is published with evidence on both my Google Blog and YouTube.

A damaged £105 keyboard is not worth £105!

Now what say you to your suggestions on how to remedy this?!

Yours
