hey greg i would suggest to go to your bank and report it as a scam or show them the messages that you received from those scammers. hope you get your money back thanks for your videos they have supported me through a bad time and now i am a pc freak haha greetings from germany

Hey greg Big fan from Trinidad love the video's and hope you're having a awesome day

ever thought been cheeky email this video to them

I'll take the 5500 off your hands if you want to resell...

@GregSalazar my name's Gary I live in Scotland and I am always watching your videos just love learning about different issues you can get with pcs since I built my own pc in January last year so your videos help me out with ideas and that for my system keep up the good work and I will keep watching

Hope he gets the money back. Also people who scam others should go to jail for decades. I just hate evil human beeings and those need to get locked away.

the company is based in cyprus so that may be hard for the us government to go afte them

@@dawn1berlitz they can use their jets or something .

​@dawn1berlitz can still chargeback

@@KevinEF that is if the site hasnt closed the account the charges went to

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Well they are worth more but still a 45% chance to get nothing is crazy

They do run faster.

its a gambling site, your not meant to go on there to get certain items, the upgrade feature you put in the multiplier you want and it uses the closest item on site value wise to the amount it would be, by default its set as 2x

its a gambling site dont see why this is so surprising lol

Lmao 😂 nailed it

Literally fraud. But they are shipping some of the cheap stuff for plausible denial purposes.

Dude we know. Its pretty obvious

​@@retro5945 chill out they clearly just didn't watch the whole video

Was hypedrop not a csgo gambling site at first? It had a different name first but I can’t remember. Not csgoroll btw, I just finished the video. Pretty sure it was skinhub at first.

@@morrison1292 There are mutiple sites having the same business model but involving counter-strike skins. IRL item lootboxes aren't a new thing, ricegum and jake paul made videos about one of those sites and reportedly made 7 figures in one time payments. Hypedrops owner is also the owner of csgoroll which is heavily in critique in the csgo scene (but so are gambling sites in general). According to rumours the hypedrop owner tries to sell hydrop and his casino site hypeup since a few month ago and some people in the cs scene speculate their cs site will follow, soon.

Real life lootboxes

Watch it mister. I maintain slot machines. 😂

Literally better to go to a casino and play roulette or craps. Or blackjack, which gives you the best odds. But if they were smart enough to learn how to play blackjack well, they wouldn't be gambling on an unregulated site.

It’s truly astounding just how foolish people are.

Gambling addictions are real problems.

if u r just lucky they wont really but they would try and get u to stop by trying to offer u free stuff as that gives them time to win the money back or find out if u r cheating

It’s called gambling not give us ur money an we give u prize, it’s called pull out when you’re up, people have a addiction then blame a website when they lose

It's a trademarked brand, channel, and subreddit with millions of followers.

it’s PC master race till it’s on COD then it’s all crying in the comments lol but i didn’t know it was a company either

It is like buying a 40 series Nvidia GPU, you pay an absolute inflated fortune and receive something that is much less value than the performance. A thousand dollars for an old model aio and 5500 and some fans. That is brutal. That we are floored that these things even exist says there are a few of us left in the wild with morals and ethics. It is just cherry machine gambling with a different product tied to it.

@@fuzzylumpkins6034 yes but degenerate gamblers the reason why this thing exist in the first place and i will never sorry for those kind of people

With casinos more available these days in the US than any time since the end of the westward expansion, it seems like blackjack or even roulette or craps would be a better bet for anyone really. If I took a grand to the blackjack table (closest one is about 5 miles from me), I'd have a good chance of walking away with a lot more money than I walked in with. Even going to the casino and playing the slots would make more sense. You are gambling with a black box that is not regulated by any governmental authority. Quite literally the definition of 'shell game'.

people want to believe they are special and they can be the "one" to get lucky.

@@AlexCS8You don’t need to feel sorry for them, that’s fine, but gambling has been studied and evaluated plenty. Gambling addictions are statistically harder to overcome than substance abuse disorders and result in a much higher rate of “unaliving”. I myself became addicted at 14 years old on CSGO gambling and it took me almost a decade to break free. 10 years of losing every single dollar I made, it’s brutal.

But that's not gambling, that's commerce!

Well all I can say is whatever we pick, men do cry after finding out that our wallets are empty and we'll probably need to live off ramen and grilled cheese sammiches for months. 🤣🤣

LOL

my man took net 0 from the video

Because you watch Greg vids 😂

Oh lord lol

Same

As long as you are an adult and they actually send you the products you win then it's not illegal...It's just very stupid! lol

Very borderline illegal.

No no no friend you misunderstand. These are *loot boxes!* You can't win any money so it's not gambling. You're just buying *loot boxes* it's totally different.

Offshore registered businesses in Cypress, legally untouchable. Just like when the Poker websites were big years ago. All off shore companies legally untouchable.

You said it yourself, it's a slot machine and guess what.. slot machines are legal

Yes. It is pretty obvious they are up to no good. But a lot of scammers will do stuff like that because they really only want to rip off ignorant and stupid people so it is easier to get away with it.

Glad I'm not the only one who found that a lil alarming

YEAH PICKED UP ON THAT RIGHT AWAY

If you sound it out it sounds like “I’m nefarious” with an accent. At least they’re honest.

do you think they have a paper trail big enough for that lol

Suing these idiots is a waste of time. Looks like they are shutting down and most likely are going to be filing bankruptcy making getting your money back much harder.

@sol-hb8zg so? Once i recieved broken product, and the seller disappeared from auction site, closed their internet shop. Sure it took like year and some, but police caught scammers and ppl who reported things got compensated. Do you think that he is the only one that did not get GPU, MOBO, CPU or any other hardware from that site? No! If enough ppl go to the police the better. But as i mentioned, inhave no idea how police and overal gov things work in america when it comes to regullar common consumer protection. I base my experience on german/austrian/czech/polish laws in last decade of (A LOT) internet purchases.

@@sajmon154 not disagreeing with you, more so a question

*I haven't heard/seen THEM scam anyone sorry.

Because they apparently plan on launching a 2.0 version that hopefully is a bit more profitable this time because the original was barely scraping by. If they completely ripped everyone off in a blatant exit scam they would ruin any chance of making a new site.

living in 🇫🇮 and having +358

Give them a visit and tell them Greg wants his RTX 4070. lol

To be fair the site literally shut down because they weren't/were barely making money. Even Greg almost won all of his money back somehow. They probably only refused to send the 4090 because they were already getting ready to quit. Seems like people were winning a little too much and they got tired of sending out the prizes it was too expensive. The house was not winning lol.

@@bestieswithtesties it was actually a 4070, not a 4090. If it were a 4090, they obviously would have lost money. It's a game of chance and it's still extremely scummy to not send out the 4070 because that would mean they only broke even, instead of robbing him blind.

to paraphrase PT Barnum, a mark is born every day. This is basically an arguably legal scam. It is thinly veiled gambling with far worse odds than a government regulated casino. They are shutting down because the US Federal Government is finally getting around to properly regulating online gambling. They will have to come up with a new business model to skirt new regulations. They may never even launch the v2.0 site. It is likely they will have to register as an online gambling business which I doubt the owner wants to do. They will find a new gray area to exploit, most likely. Meanwhile, they are doing an exit fraud, which is why Greg didn't get his 4070. If you want to gamble, you learn how to play blackjack properly and go to a casino. Something like 90% of Americans live within a 2 hour drive of a casino these days, thanks to riverboat gambling and Native casinos. You can often catch a free shuttle from major population centers. Even craps and roulette would be a better bet than this website. You are gambling with an unregulated black box where the house can change the odds any time they want and swing it in their favor. A modern version of the shell game. Failing to ship won items is an actual crime, called fraud. There is no problem with stock issues, they just want to grab as much cash as they can on the way out the door and are quite literally defrauding people to do so. Meanwhile, they'll ship the cheap stuff to make it look like they are trying to fulfill orders. Problem here is that there is likely nobody to sue since the owner is likely based overseas. It sounds like they don't have any business assets in the US and Greg's 4070 money is likely already in a Swiss bank and/or a Bitcoin wallet. It is a shame he didn't try to withdraw crypto. You can learn how to set up a wallet from a 5 minute YT vid. My guess is he wouldn't get that either.

my buddy told me to try it one time and i did so i put $20 in and i pulled a overclocked 4080 on the rivals case he was opening, took out 800 to ethereum and i got every dollar, never went back tho lmao

We hit a bottleneck for now when it comes to modern hardware. Even the gpu producers are way more into finetuning software with stuff like dlss and such. I personally think the biggest advancement will be in AI and hardware wise AR and VR glasses.

You'd be surprised how many folks DON'T think that.

@@GregSalazar Regarding to that CPU, if you email support showing that they overcharged you for that item, they'll refund you the remaining $60 which you overpaid back into hypedrop credits

im down about 11k on hypedrop, but i have to say that this video was not a real representation of the site, the avrage user will go to hypedrop with intention to do a battle future and cashout in crypto. so although i hate the site i have to say this video is like watching a todler tring to ride a bike.

@@m4rcus025 says the guy who's down 11 thousand dollars......😂 😂

Yup that's gambling in a nut shell. I don't think the people who gamble are greedy, well at least most of them. They are usually poor and desperate for money. In their minds a big win would be life changing but unfortunately they are usually terrible at budgeting money and they blow it on crap that they really don't need or even worse they double down and gamble it away..

@@MrNota500 That's incorrect, people do it for the dopamine not the money.

He sold it to keep gambling.

Just don't trust ANYTHING on the internet... or also do what I do and type in the name of the site with reddit at the end lol

He sold it to keep gambling.

A good person wouldn't point that out.

I don't see a tracking number. I see a serial number. Edit. I see it now. Just shows that it's delivered to Groveland Florida. No address

Now that i dug a little bit more i found out that Omnifarious Services limited is actually Hype Drop's registered company name and address in Cyprus. they registered a company in Cyprus under a fake address which is quite common for a lot of overseas companies. They do this because in Cyprus there is a low tax and alot of corruption inside the government which makes it easy for overseas companies to move around money through Cyprus banks/other facilities.

We answer that in this same video :-)
