I sent my Wii and money to Matt Delorey (Wii Modder) to have him mod my Wii. He stole my money and my Wii. Here is what he has to say in his PM to me once I asked him to return my money after 4 months. Do Not Send Him Anything!

Or you could just send back the money thru the Paypal request I sent ya, and I will help to fight for you again.
Hoping you do the right thing,

I apologize, but my name is not Matt. And I do not owe anyone any money at this moment in time... I think you might have me mixed up with someone else...

Yup, he should have done his homework.
He only joined on : 8-Apr-2008.
And was mass posting his services way too much.

Maybe I didn't make myself clear, I sent him my Wii 4 months ago, he didn't belong to this forum till a few weeks ago, he was on thegameforum and had a very good rep over there. Untill he went into the hosptial for about a month and everyone started to worry. Now he is back and he has been banned from the gameforum due to the fact that he is not paying people back. He left and came straight over here. I am not complaining to the members of this board saying that I want my money back. I am just trying to let everyone know that Wii Modder can not be trusted and hopefully no one will send him their Wii or any Money for any services that he provides.

Just curious......are those pm's you and him had from this site and recent?
By the way you speak it is.
If so hes a liar he has mattdelorey as a contact name in his profile on this site for yahoo messenger.
Thank you for the heads up
EDIT: Btw I took a pic of it in case he tries to change it

Yes he is a scammer and we learned the hard way......
He made a great presentation to us and we fell for it.
I'm wondering is there any way to get authorities involved.....
It seems PAYPAL is just protecting him.
I really doubt he was in hospital fo a month unless anyone has proof of it.......

<3 How all these post are made by the same IP, and only 4-5 post per user, obviously someone is trying very hard to get others to not like me. Maybe another installer, its a competitive world out there.

Sorry WiiModder........
No other competitors going up against you.....
You're a scammer pure and simple......
You know how to shmoose people into sending their Wiis and money to you......
How about showing us some proof you had an anurism and spent a month in the hospital???
How about my $150 you scammed from me?????

well lets get a modz opinion on this, they can check the IP.
end of the day though maybe the mods should stop advertising on here, or at least setup some sort of rules about posting, maybe in a subforum with loads of disclaimers and also a ref`s system for modders.
the mods dont do enough around here, its meant to be against the rule to post services on this forums, and that was from zeus a while back as i nearly got banned over it.

None of the ips are the same from the different users. I want a seperate buy/sell/trade forum but it's not my call and I have no power to do it. I understand why the admins don't want it but we all know it happens anyway. The only reason I haven't banned wii-modder yet is he deserves to at least stick up for himself or right any wrongs. If he is a scammer I will remove him.

this is what this forum is missing, don't know why they don't want the hassle of a buy/sell/trade forum ,this helps people decide if they are good or bad ,by leaving appropriate feedback for the modder after they receive there wiis back,
they use the buy/sell/trade forum on blackcats ,brilliant forum for people unsure who to send to.they just check the modders feedback .
you can get some good bargains in the buy/sell/trade too.

Im a modder myself and i preffer dealing face to face with the peoples whos consoles i mod and i personally think thats the best way to do it it makes them feel secure that if you do a shifty they can find you and kick your ass and it makes you want to just do it because you know that they know that.

This thread may have saved other people from sending their Wii's to this guy. He may not have been wise to send it to him but he's sure stepping up to stop others from getting scammed.

That sure is easy to say till your the one getting scammed.
So if someone was to screw you over for your hard earned cash and you saw someone else walking over to the guy that screwed you with cash in his hand you wouldn't warn him? You would think to yourself "well that guy is going to get screwed" hang your head,turn around and walk away?
Not a very good philosophy to live by if you ask me. How could you live with yourself? Wouldn't you feel bad?

Well I am glad to see that we actually have some level headed people on this forum. I posted this to help others not to cry that I have been ripped off. Where do you once see me trying to do anything other then Warn people?

Sorry to have to tell ya this, but you wont receive it. Matt is a liar, a thief and one hell of a scammer. I would encourage the mods on this forum to seriously consider deleting off his accout as he will keep stealing from people who think they can trust him.
I had an IM conversation with Matt yesterday and he swore up and down to me that he was not on this forum, he claims someone else is on this forum pretending to be him. HAHA Stupid Matt... you shouldn't give out your address to people on this forum and think that other people won't talk. It is in fact Matt Delorey who is Wii Modder on this forum and he will take your money. BE VERY CAREFUL when talking with him, better yet, DON'T TALK TO HIM!
Nafarious

A little proof that Wii Modder is a scammer
This is from my conversation with him last night. I waited to post this because I wanted to get proof that he was actually the Matt on this forum as he says he is not. I asked a memeber on this forum (Gookie) for the address that he sent his Wii too... Turns out it is Matt's address and the only contact Gookie has had with Matt Delorey (Wii Modder) was on this forum. He is the copy and paste of our convo where he is trying to tell me it is not him on this forum.
NafariousNinja63 (5:27:00 PM): Why pretend to not be Matt on Maxconsole?
I Mod the Wii (5:27:09 PM): whats that?
NafariousNinja63 (5:27:28 PM): On the forum you pretended to be someone else? Why would you do that if you cared about your business?
I Mod the Wii (5:27:45 PM): I'm actually not on any forums atm, just youtube
NafariousNinja63 (5:27:52 PM): yesterday
NafariousNinja63 (5:28:07 PM): remember my post yesterday about your convo with me, trying to say your not Matt
I Mod the Wii (5:28:16 PM): ??
I Mod the Wii (5:28:19 PM): no...
NafariousNinja63 (5:28:22 PM): HAHAHA
NafariousNinja63 (5:28:40 PM): Your a good liar Matt, I just hope I can keep people from sending their Wii's to you
I Mod the Wii (5:28:41 PM): Why would I say I'm not me, thats stupid
After sending me PM's on this forum saying he is not Matt because he had stopped responding to my EMails and IM's just like every other one of his victims.
I think it is about time that the Mods consider ridding Wii Modder of this forum before he rips off more people.

This thread sure is entertaining. I'm having a semi-bad experience with a modder I sent my Wii too. But I finally got a UPS tracking number a few days ago and my Wii should be back safe and sound soon hopefully. I wrote the serial number down just in case to make sure I got my Wii back but I've heard of people swapping drives out. No way of telling if he swapped my D2A with a D2C or something else unless I open it up.

no offense to you acemilo , from viewing these forums for a number of years the mods dont do anything, apart from help people but in terms of discipline of the forum i rarely see any of the mods exert any sort of authority on members who flaunt the rules etc etc.
maybe your not allowed from the `power that is` , but its a shame as a fair few members spoil these forums and dont deserve access.
with regards to the seperate forum , well like you say , it goes on regardless , a seperate forum would just keep things clean, even if you simply had a forum whereby people could just leaves refs for modders would be a start.
anyways, i think people will get the message from this thread ;)

It's not that some people may not be able to do it but it's the ethics of it. People who find exploits and bugs rarely use it to there advantage. They use it tighten the security of the OS. Many times sending the bug report to the company (i.e. M$) or issuing a patch to fix the issue (on Open Source software)...

I'm right there with you. Everyone seems to think we have the same power over the boards as admins but we dont. We just recently got a control panel so we can edit user's info if need be and ban people. However we cannot ban ips so all we can do is remove a user, there's nothing stopping them from just making a new name and starting over. Being able to ban by ip would help A TON but I don't think it's going to happen. I have been pushing for a seperate b/s/t forum for about a year and I honestly don't think its gonna happen no matter how much I or anyone else wants it. You also gotta realize we aren't employed by the site, we're just users who actually care about the site and offered our services to moderate it, we do it in our spare time so it's not going to ever be perfect. It's hard for us or anyone for that matter to see whats going on with every user all the time, we just do what we can when we can. I know your not trying to bring me down or anything, but your not telling me anything I don't know, if it were all up to me I'd have a b/s/t forum with a seperate forum for installers so you know who's a scam and who isn't, etc, but like I said its not up to me.

07-20-2008, 01:05 PM
just so everybody knows, I am NOT the wiimodder you guys are talking about.
My name is not Matt, nor do i perform wii mod installs online.
All my installs are done locally face to face.
I provide information specifically regarding soldering techniques...thats it.
I dont know how it's even possible for two users "wiimodders" to exist on a forum... which makes me belive my accounts been comprimised somehow.. I have now changed my account information, because one thing that is true, i havent logged in for a very long time.
I will contact admin about this.
I have recived some PM's from people "looking for me???" I can assure you I have no idea who or where Matt(aka wiimodder) is.
Nafarious
07-20-2008, 02:45 PM
One way to prove that your not him would be to have someone who has used your service explain where they took their wii too.
If the address is
15 Studley St. Apt # 3
New Bedford, Ma. 02740
Then do not consider using this modder as it is Matt Delorey.
Maybe you would like to prove that you are not him by listing your address.
wiimodder
07-20-2008, 03:07 PM
Well thats not my addy, nor would i be stupid enough to post my personal information on a forum or anywhere else on the internet for that matter. Unfortunatly I cannot fullfill your request this way.
I can say I live somewhere on the west coast in Canada. As I said before, I do not offer any sort of modding service online. You wont see me posting "send me your Wii".
I only offer soldering techniques advice to the forum.
The only way i found out there was another wiimodder is i had somebody PM me thinking i was him.
Well I am not, and as i say, i have not logged into maxconsoles for at least 4-6 months so my response to this message was obviously slow. My account is not banned so im sure thier musta been another account i belive the Moderator posted he banned the account.

I tried telling people there about him scamming people by got banned by the moderator...
And it just so happens that the moderator was also a registered user at the GameForum where Wii Modder scammed me for $150. He was telling people to send there wiis to him to have a chipped.
I guess now they are in cahoots at NextGenboards...............
I guess some of us have to learn the hard way.........
