Muhammad Ali is a crook I can confirm, he is the owner of this store. I found an ad on Kijiji for a laptop which was priced reasonably. I called to enqiure if they have it before going all the way to their store.

He said yes we have it, don't worry we will hold it for you. I am a student and I cannot afford a brand new laptop so this seemed like a good deal until I graduate and get a job, I needed a laptop to get through.

I had saved up working part time for this particular reason to buy a computer as mine broke a long time ago. When I went to the store, to my surprise he said we don't know if you will show up or not, I just sold it to someone. I figured its a  lie and what I was looking at was bait and switch. He never even had that laptop in the first place. I should have left right then. Instead he convinced me that he has even better laptops and was trying to sell it to a higher price. I got visibly annoyed that Muhammad Ali had me travel all the way on the public transit to his address to run a bait and swtich scam.

He noticed I was not interested in paying anything extra, so he said okay I apoligize it is my fault for selling it to someone else. For that reason, I will give you this other laptop which is equal to the one on ad for the same price. I never agreed to the price I was going to get a good deal in person. 

I just thought okay that is not so bad and I agreed to pay for it. I had a bag with me. After I paid for it cash, he distracted me saying he has other things with him like iPad and just rambled about a lot of things while he still had my laptop I paid for in his hand. After walking around a bit, he put the laptpp in hand that I know I paid for (i7 Intel, with dedicated graphics card) He dutifily put a laptop in my bag and I thought okay thats nice of him, he continued to distract me saying I will get you a charger.

After getting distracted he gave me a charger, and I left the store as I had to get back to my night shift work. When I came home, I opened my bag to find out that the crook swapped the laptop I paid for, to a different one with is AMD old model that no one would even want if you gave them for free. I was shocked by this and I couldnt believe this happened to me. I thought maybe it was a mistake. Maybe he didnt notice it.

Then I sat through and it finally clicked that whole point of distraction was to get me to pay for a lpatop and swap it at the end. I went there the next day, this time Muhammad Ali was not the same person who talked all that sweet, he literally screamed at me that it is my fault that I did not check the bag when I left the store. I got very uncomfortable because he did this in front of a few people who were there. When they saw this they gave me some time alone and left.

I asked him to give me the laptop that I paid for, which he laughed and said what laptop? Oh that one, sorry that one is already sold. We had many of the same model laptop, I did not know it was the  one I sold it to you. So I sold it to someone else.

So I asked him to give me a refund, for which he said sorry no refund. Did you not see the board? No refund or exchange. I started to become very upset, that I lost my hard earned money and I paid cash so there was nothing I could do. Then this guy did something remarkable. He was trying to sell me another laptop he had, he showed me that and said now I see you are upset so I will give you this laptop but you have to pay me anotehr $500 because it is i7.

I started to cry and said I paid for an i7. He said, I never sold you an i7. It was i5 the one you paid for yesterday. I said, NO! I specifically know its i7 that is why I travelled this far. 

After I said that, this guy tried to kick me out saying I am wasting his time, either pay $500 and take that laptop or get out of my store. You are  wasting my time. I said, you travelled here twice 2 hours commute. You wasted my time. He tried to grab me to kick me out, he didnt care I am girl.

I told him to not touch me and walked out myself. While I was walking out, he said, I was trying to do you a favor by taking the laptop you have in your hand back, who knows what you took from it, maybe you stole the battery, I wouldn't know. 

I couldn't believe what kind of a crook this guy is. He places ads everyday on Kijiji and Craigslist. I wish I had taken someone with me. I lost $450 and stuck with a piece of junk that is not worth $50. It wont even work properly.

This is a good lesson I learned and I wanted to warn others is all.
