Devil Skype Ripp Off Scam Warning

Heads up to some guy wanting to ripp u off for your hard earned $$ in Dubai.
Unless your happy to pay 10 times the normal price ......

Allways been able to receive Skype found the solution on 7 days and here is a link to the software

Received a Private Message from member ragga offering a solution for a price, even though I did not ask for help. Only made 3 posts as well...thought there were some rules here about Probationary membership

You should be aware that the price being asked is only around 10 times more than what it would cost you to download the soft ware your self which is all most idiot proof to install and does every thing that ragga claims

I am not plugging the software for any personal gain just really Pi$#$#@@v me off when I get a Private Message that I never asked for and some one stand to make big bucks for what you could set up yourself for around 150 AED for 12 months

You have been told.....

I have posted the PM i received below

Hey Speedy

The solution has been up on the 7 days letters section web site for over a month and have not seen it removed.

Its every where else on the net too if you wanna get your friendly search engine google out and have a gander

You just have to know where to look.

The thread above worked when I tried it yesterday, but is blocked today.
That pretty well proves what someone said a million pages ago on this thread - that Etisalat's minions read threads like this and quickly button up any holes that anyone posts (boasts?) about.

We appreciate your post Goretex, just advising that it's now blocked.

On another note, Etisalat have now, unintentionally or with out thinking, created an underground black market for work arounds. Thank you to those that responded to my emails but I for one won't be paying an ongoing fee (and not that small) to access what I have already paid for. You have seen an opportunity and good luck to you, but I also have a choice and won't be making a purchase.

Who filled out the Etisalat survey? If you do, then give them both barrels. Chip chip chip.....you never know.

" skype: still can log on if not dissconnect and reconnect to the internet
i just tryed it - i hope it's works with every one "

Yes - thanks to all the valueable infirmation given here and on other smart web-sites:

I have just NO problems whatsoever to run SKYPE - and the VOIP-alikes , not just from my home at SZ-Road, also from ANY hot-spot in the UAE!
That VPN-mirroring is just impossible to block, as long as there will be ANY phoneline still available to me!

That said: Last month i had some Zero (0 !) Dirham telephone costs for long-range telecom with the ETISLUTS - even as i talked some 12 plus hours to Aussie and NZ - for some mere pennies!
Sorry ETISLUT-guys - nice try that one, but You're definitively outsmarted in your blocking attempt, as that cheap & crappy Sniper-Block attempt is obviously not worth a penny - or Dirham - just give it up then boys-
you should realize, when You're beaten on Your very own grounb
further more - take Your surrender sportive - and NOT personally ;-))

Skype

Hi,
Sorry I've not answered your messages but have been away for a while.To all the guys and gals that i provided info to, there is bad news.

The work around was thru a bypass proxie which worked via a link in europe.Unfortuneately due to the amount of bandwidth that was being taken up-at all times of the day-the company/individual now requires re-imbursement for their troubles

I will continue to try to find a work around that is cheap or free and will advise accordingly.sorry to all-i've lost mine too.

it works

Uplock..im sorry you feel that way as ragga was trying to help. ive been here for 6 years now and this is a service that has worked for me too and i paid the money with not one regret. This wasn't software either its a legal service provided from media city. A guaranteed service is much better than the non-sense we went through with crazy workarounds.

Devil Get Real Its a ripp off price 10x above what you should pay

Get reall wannabee49

3 posts and Ragga 3 posts....sounds like a fellow that became famous here writing about himself and answering back as well.

Point is that "service" is no service at all if some ripp off merchant is charging 10 times the standard rate and people should know about this.

If your happy paying ten times for a service that you could set up yourself with out being a compter nerd go ahead fork out your Dollars

Does not change the fact that this service is a ripp off compaired to what else is available.

Not right

The service you are saying to do is public and not promised to stay online much longer. I would rather pay for a service that will work and at the same time this service gives free long distance, can't beat that with a stick..Anywhere in the world too. I think I got the better end of this deal.

Devil Stop telling Porky Pies

Hey wannabee49 4th post and your still spurting garbage and miss information.

Do you know what your talking about cause it ant making much sense man.

The whole point was to highlight raggamans posting where his recommended service would be installed for the ripp off price of 1,600 AED up front when instead you only needed to pay 147 AED (40 us$) to achieve exactley what his work around would do...

Check the link on the previous page will take you to the web page its not public you pay 40 chips for the year and it gives you every thing your Alta ego Ragga claims


this service gives free long distance, can't beat that with a stick..Anywhere in the world too.
You betta stop beating your stick before u go blind and As your ecstatic to pay 1453 AED more than me goes to show your absolutely right!.
I think I got the better end of this deal.
Is this Brian ?
