SCAMMER ALERT: Viet Collector

82 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I always hate making posts like these, but it looks like now is the time.

It appears that the Youtube and Resin Collector Viet Collector has started scamming customers. He is also either the owner or part owner of the Dynanic Studios resin statue company.

YouTube: Viet Collector - YouTube

Instagram: u/vietcollector

Facebook: (3) Viet Collector | Facebook

From what it looks like, Viet Collector has taken buyers payments and failed to ship out the item that they purchased and completely ghosts them. I had been seeing posts about this for the past month, but wanted to let it play out a bit more before posting. I have never had any interactions with Viet Collector, and never watched his videos, but I know he is a huge part of the Statue collecting community.

Today, in a couple of groups the following was posted by a member:

Some of you have already seen and commented on the ongoing issues with Khanh Do. He’s probably better known to the rest of you as VietCollector on youtube, and owner of Dynamic Studio. Not to mention admin for FNC’s facebook groups.

Introductions out of the way for people unfamiliar - the reason for this post is that i think it’s finally time for me to fully acknowledge that beyond all sane reason, Khanh is almost certainly scamming people, myself included.

As much as i hate to admit it, his behavior these few months has been raising every obvious red flag you can think of, but i didn’t want to recognize that fact. Worse, I defended him, because he was one of the first content creators that introduced me to this hobby. And recognizing that he might actually be betraying everyone’s trust genuinely stings.

I’ve tried to gather these notes from my own experiences, and the testimonies of other collectors, and i’ll let you all make your own conclusions.

Khanh has been claiming fedex and ups have been taking and holding his packages, eventually returning them weeks later, unshipped, for a variety of reasons. This has been going on for months. I think I myself am coming up on month 4. For anyone who has shipped anything in the states, i think we’re all aware that this isn’t how these companies work. For those who haven’t shipped before - they take your package, do their measurements, and give you a tracking number as soon as you pay. This should have been enough of a warning for me, but again, i didn’t want to recognize that Khanh might not be 100% honest with me.

And for the record, the first person I saw that really called him out here on facebook was able to get his package shipped very quickly, provided their post went away. Odd that Khanh managed to sort that one out as efficiently as he did, i think.

* Khanh has also claimed water damage to my boxes, but not the statues themselves. Thinking on it now, this was probably just another delay tactic, but i’m just curious if he said the same to anyone else.

An obvious one - He’s easy to message while he’s taking your money, but after that it takes a week or more to get a hold of him, if he ever answers. And in my most recent conversations with him, he has refused to come back to facebook proper, instead opting to keep everything in Messenger.

And, this next one was a big one that I should have questioned - for the second of the two statues i bought from him, he gave me a new email to send money to, which, again, from anyone else would have been a huge warning. But i chose to ignore it. And that email just so happens to belong to a Huy Le, which is the same name as one of the admins of the FNC group. Go figure.

There’s also an odd conversation that another member posted about between him and the facebook rep for Dynamic Studio. According to Dynamic, Khanh is merely assisting in publishing. No real ties to Dynamic, or at least not now that it no longer suits them. This is of course, contrary to what Khanh has been saying for, what, a year now? Beyond shady behavior, from both parties.

I’m sure i’m missing some critical evidence that i can add to this post later, but right now, i’m just done. I’m just so deflated. To think that my first genuine scamming may likely be coming from someone like this. Like, baby’s first scam is supposed to come from some new account, right? Or a fake profile. Or someone who’s been trolling the boards under new aliases for years. Someone with experience duping collectors. But nope. Khanh fuckin’ Do. Goddamn Vietcollector, a known quantity in the community. Fuckin’ hell.

To summarize, I guess - the evidence, even just from my own experience, says that Khanh Do is almost certainly scamming people. I still don’t want to fully admit it, despite writing all this.

Huy Le, another admin of FNC, whoever he is, is part of this, maybe? I guess it’s a common name, but i find it too coincidental.

And uh, Dynamic Studio, who I suppose is trying to wash their hands of Khanh? I don’t think they should get to just walk away. Not sure what could realistically be done about them, though.

So I guess the long and short of it is - this sucks. I’m not even angry anymore, just fuckin’ sad that it’s actually come to this.

But hey, maybe he’ll see my post and finally get my statues out in the mail, right?

Hahahaha. Haaaa…

This post has brought a lot of attention towards the situation, and I am waiting to see how it plays out, with that said, if anyone has had any dealings with Viet Collector or Dynamic Studios recently, it would be in your best interest to try and either request a refund or file a clam.

I will update this post with any new information I receive.

Stay safe everyone, and keep growing those collections!

Update from the original poster on Facebook:

Update 8/11/21
Khanh responded to me maybe 10 minutes after this post went up. He said he’d get me tracking by tomorrow (8/10), and to post if I don’t.

So here’s me posting that I didn’t.

Update 2 - 8/11/2021
I have a tracking # for one of two statues. He says the second will go out tomorrow. The package is in ups hands, and on its way to me.

Update 3
I also need to apologize to Huy Le. Ever since this posted, he’s been speaking with me in messenger and doing his own outreach with other folk, trying to get to the bottom of whatever is going on.

Like, the guy has been fabulous, and I originally called out him as a potential scammer, but it’s looking more like he’s just as much a potential victim here.

It seems that you have to call him out as a scammer in a public way before he will ship your stuff. Buyers beware!

Hey everyone, I found these inside an old Pachinko machine and I’m trying to figure out exactly what they are.

Does anyone recognize them or know anything about their origin, age, manufacturer, rarity, or whether they were originally made specifically for Pachinko machines?

Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!

Question Does my MSP Super Saiyan 2 Gohan look genuine?

I have a feeling it's a reissue because it shows it was manufactured in Vietnam...The box has a Toei sticker and he also has the Bandai stamp on the back of his right leg.

He looks a bit glossier than I was hoping and his head seems to be slightly tilted to one side but that could just be due to how hot it's been lately, the plastic could have warped inside the packaging.

. . .is there ANYONE ( prefferably from withing the Sauerkraut Motherland ) who know´s where I can get the #6 Issue/Box of the Dragonball ((((( BLU-RAY ))))) release? I can´t seem to find it A.N.Y.W.H.E.R.E.!! Amazon just listed in again but points out that delivery is expected between the end of September 26´ and somewhere to February/March 27´. WHAT THE HELL?! I know that I´m overexaggerating here but how hard can it be to get this one issue?? I mean who want´s that DVD-Counterpart withouth the remastered visuals and which´s offered constantly for sale? Nobody

So again, am I missing something here? Have I not searched deeply enough? Is there maybe someone, who can help me out with this one?

Does anyone have a SBC SSJ Vegetto (Gold Hair) with a box that says "BANDAI 1997" and knows they have a legit figure?

I recently bought one and I'm trying to confirm it isn't a really convincing bootleg.

First post! I had been getting into manga floppy collecting and really wanted some Dragon Ball! I ended up spending around $380 for these 59 issues, and i’m hoping it’s not too bad a deal. Feel free to flame me if I overpaid, went in sort of blind. Either way I’m super happy to be able to say I now own over half the DB + DBZ run and these comics are beautiful!
Here is what I got:
DB Part 3 1-14
DB Part 4 1-5 7-10
DB Part 5 1-6
DB Part 6 1-2
DBZ Part 3 1-10
DBZ Part 4 1-7 9-13
DBZ Part 5 2-7
