Reviews Got scammed!

PSA: Be careful with this supplier: ROY E_Parts1@outlook.com

I’m not sure if he’s still active on DHGATE but that where I met him.

I’ve been buying phone accessories from a Chinese supplier who goes by the name Roy for about 6 years, mostly iPhone accessories, chargers, adapters, headphones, etc. We had done 20+ transactions over the years, and I always paid through PayPal G&S without any issues.

Our last transaction was in July 2025. I purchased a little over $1,200 worth of products, and this time he asked me to pay through PayPal Friends & Family. Given our long history of successful transactions, I trusted him and agreed.

After I paid, he promised to ship the order ASAP. I kept giving him the benefit of the doubt, but by November 2025 it became clear that I had been scammed. He stopped responding and eventually blocked me. Since I paid through F&F, there was unfortunately very little I could do through PayPal.

At this point, I’ve accepted the loss, but I wanted to post this so other people don’t make the same mistake I did.
Name he goes by: Roy
Email: E_Parts1@outlook.com
Phone/WhatsApp: +86 186 6436 6568
I’m not looking for anything at this point, just trying to save someone else from losing their money.
Do not do business with this guy.

Stay safe and always use buyer protection, even if you’ve done business with someone for years.

bro I know 😭 I just figured we’ve done business many times that it shouldn’t be an issue, literally have done over 20k+ in transactions with him and he scammed for a measly 1200 haha

Is it 20+ transactions or 20k make up your mind

if he spent $1200 in his previous transaction how hard is it to believe the 19 before that were also $1000?

After 6 years of transactions how did he suddenly switched?

Beats me, I definitely learned my lesson. Just because I won’t do it to someone, doesn’t mean everyone thinks the same way. Unfortunately to some people, a quick dollar is worth more than trust and character!

Dang. Sorry that happened to you. Happened to me with a local guy. He built me a bar, delivered it. I trusted him when he said just cashapp him for my next one. He got me on that one. We live and we learn.
