Re: Unofficial Hot Toys web-shop--legit?
I checked out this Dave Cornado Muste. That identity is legit. The guy is Spanish, works for some kind of power plant in Hong Kong, and seems to have excelled in his studies. I even found him getting some academic awards in Spain. He also speaks several languages, which might explain why some newbs initially registered on OSW asking for French and Spanish language forums "in order to practice their language skills."

When I posted this on OSW in December:
No offense to anyone, but, so far, Steve is the only OSW long standing member who has successfully tested this store.
Everyone else cheering on registered in December and, apart from Razor, they're all non native speakers using a similar variety of English.
lellie1971, spursfan and fanaticactionfigures, no offense to you, but you all sound like the store owner or his friends
Personally, I think I'll need a few more confirmations from members in good standing before I'd risk ordering from this store. True, paypal might refund the money after a protracted and annoying hassle, but that wouldn't stop a would be con artist from clearing his account after a number of orders and payments are in and leaving it to paypal to cover the damages.
Again, I'm not accusing anyone, just saying that I'm not entirely convinced.
I got bashed for racial profiling or some such. Where I come from we don't get all that hysterical about PC, but what the heck:
wow..are you alright? saying " no offense to you, but you all sound like the store owner or his friends" Seriously I just saw this thread,I admit I'm not a native english speaker but you don't have the right to group other people as the store owner friends! This is not nice at all. Infact I don't even care you are convince or not because nothing to do with me but you should not relate me with the people I don't know at all. You also saying that you are "not accusing anyone" but hey why you mention my ID? Ok maybe you are a native english speaker but the way you express your feeling is clearly accusing, .I'm just a new member and left a comment but ....wow...so negative people, seriously I didn't buy anything from the store yet! ....better not to bother to leave any comments if you are new.. BTW " ali032373" is not a new member...so now what? anymore creative story now? accusing everyone as well? jeezzzz OH, you are the one that created the SideShow thread regarding this store! haha, I seldom add comment but I do read them ALL!!...come on...are you a store owner? Cos this new store is your competitor or what? Seriously I don't want to relate to you,to the store owner or anyone else. Thank You
Dave's credentials seem to indicate he's a smart person. Could be a case of hubris. Our local vice mayor, supposedly hyper intelligent, set up a scam internet news portal with fake journalists and all, so he could praise his own work. People can be very dumb after they've watched too many spy thrillers, I guess.
I figure Dave and Razor are either very good friends or the same person. After all, if he speaks as many languages as his fb page says, it shouldn't be hard for him to "dumb down" his English to sound like those guys I was warning about on OSW.
And written Australian isn't that hard either. Just toss in an occasional "mate" and you're good to go.
I'm hoping that everyone here who's paid this/these scammers will also report him/them to the police. Just getting money back is no guarantee that these mofos will learn the lesson. And if he is this big shot in a power plant somewhere, well, then he deserves to have to explain to his colleagues and boss that he's being charged with international fraud.
Serves you right Dave, Razor, spursfan whatever you're called,
'chanchullero.
. Any suggestion since I'm pretty new to PayPal as well?
