ES declared what was it 10 days ago he would never contribute to this site again because he knew his credibility was tainted.. then yesterday i see him post all kinds of bogus advice in threads. And now today he's whining no one locked his account so he took that as a free pass to continue his BS activities. Kid even has nerve to say "it's your fault" "don't get a seizure about me helping people"..  I'm glad mods are finally taking a stance towards this punks behavior. I understand the are leaving his account open until situation gets resolved but really it should be restricted and his signature modified ASAP with a warning of his fraudulent activities. It's like giving a sex offender a slap on the wrist. You know it's a matter of time before dude commits crime again.. Seriously, the leniency given here is starting to give this site a bad look I'm afraid.. where is Andrew btw? he needs to step up & address this imo..

Seriously Ebrahim, you have admitted that you are a 21 years old film noob kiddo with a canon 1100d plus a regretful scammer, edit your signature and put that there instead of all the 61 years old filmmaker crap, maybe they let you post.
So when a 21 years old kiddo with a canon 1100d writes that the Canon 1DC is the best lowlight camera in history, the guy who reads it will understand that this is just the opinion of a 21 years old kid -who made a scam- based on footage he saw online.

The Rangefinder is in. Here's the link so people can see the auction. Buy it now for EU 500,- and get loads of EOSHD karma points extra. http://link.marktplaats.nl/m1073137645

I own one still, used to have three.
 
here's some things I shot on it:
 
 
 
It's a really great camera, has built in XLRs, I really like slog1 and sgamut - and man for the price, it's a great deal.
Is it better than the canon 1dx which is probably now cheaper at the same price?
Or the blackmagic MCC or pocket?
That's where you need to do some testing.
Check motion, color, etc.
I think at this point a rigged out BMPCC with a nice monitor maybe a good alternative too.
If you need the extra resolution.
Anyway it's any interesting time to be alive.
 
 
 
 
 

From what you posted I prefer it to what I've seen from the 1dx/1dc and bmpcc/bmmcc, but hard to know how muchof that is just your mad skillz.

Unfortunately, Ebrahim, when you chose to steal from other people, you risked ruining your reputation.
I think this thread should remain on the forum, but locked, onced the matter is resolved. You are only refunding these people (if you actually do) because of the pressure brought upon you by this thread. If the OP had not started it, you might have been tempted to scam more people, given your previous success.
You are a criminal because you have stolen from (at least) three people and you are a liar because you have lied repeatedly and continuously. These are not desirable characteristics for a Dentist starting out on his career and now future employers will be able to see how untrustworthy you are.
You brought this upon yourself and risked a huge amount.

It's Andrew Reids forum the ban is his decission ,
I have read every post since this all started days ago , and kept it all open . the thread should stay open and not be deleted as a lesson for all on this forum ,
not everyone is your 'friend' and not everyone tells the truth all the time , NEVER use Western Union ...EVER!
First of all ES needs to pay EVERYONE back .

That's what I'm saying. This guy is a pro scammer. This obviously isn't his first rodeo so this is why we need to not let this guy go becasue he's supposedly depressed. He just wants us to get off his back so he can clear his name and scam more people. 

Don't beleive ES's lies. I gaurantee you he's not depressed or suicidal. He's just scared. He's just a guy that got caught who doesn't want to pay for the consequences of robbing innocent people.
We should definitely forgive him but if he gets away with this crime without justice being served he will end up scamming someone again. 
So don't put your guard down becasue he's mostlikely just stalling.

Exactly this. Sociopaths are master manipulators and will say anything. That taunting message to one of the victims stands in stark contrast to the "apology". Many serial killers had families and/or were respected in their communities: Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, Gary Ridgeway, Dennis Rader, The Hillside Stranglers, etc. The insanity defense never works for them because they know the difference between right and wrong, and they don't care. They don't feel empathy for other people. They manipulate and use people. Con artists and compulsive liars share many personality traits with serial killers.

At this point, how does anyone believe anything posted under that account? One would hope its a real confession, but with all the twists and turns it doesn't seem likely.
Fool me once...

The breathtaking part of this though is how consistent, knowledgable and prolific "Ebrahim Jnr" has been. Quite stunning really. Crazy achievement. 
I'm disappointed to see though, despite everything, this entire thread contains aliasing and moire. Can't have everything. 
 
 
 

Cool, so what films did your grandfather direct?

I can read arabic, even though my vocabulary is poor. But I have a lot of Egyptian friends who can read and understand a police report properly. 
That said nobody here believes there is a police report bro. Or a 1DC.
Like others have said, you will feel better after confessing and making things aright with your victims. Then you can repent in prayer (if you do pray). If you are a muslim/ christian/ jew then you surely believe that the best lies and the most perfect scams are exposed in the eyes of God anyway. So be a man and quit this game- at least you can still recover some of your dignity this way.

Hey guys
First of all, really sorry for what has happened here. I'm still catching up on things, as I am literally in the middle of nowhere shooting in Italy.
I am going to investigate at my end and be of any assistance the best I can.
RedUser, DVXUser, perhaps we can all get together and share evidence.
I'll return with a more detailed reply later.
Cheers - Andrew
I have access to Ebrahim's entire forum activity including PM inbox / sent items.

How many else got scammed?
So now its at 1 thousand dollars?
Es you have 24 hrs to refund everyone. I mean everyone.
Or your entire family and school and the police will know you are a criminal thief and liar.

For the people that got scammed this sucks and I'm sorry for your loss. 
On the bright side, this has been one of the most entertaining forum threads that I've ever read In my life LOL. I know this sounds like I'm a jerk(and I probably am), but I'm just being honest. This is becoming like a reality tv show LOL. 
Anyways, this whole thing is weird and I'm not completely buying that Egyptian doctors story. If his story was true, and if he cares about his name so much, and if he's rich, he should have refunded these people already. If this was done, this thread would have died a long time ago. Him leaving the EOSHD forum only benefits him and adds more question marks to his story. Also, him wanting to leave the forum without wanting to give refunds doesn't make sense. This is not sounding honorable to me at all. If you're a man of honor deal with your problems with the people that have been effected.
Don't write a post to say where you live and to apologize to save your reputation. That's selfish and only thinking of yourself. Just PM the victims and pay them back; that's being a man of honor.

The big thing i also learned is yes...dont trust always what people tell you. You have to really trust your own eyes.
Cml... cinematography mailing list and cinematography.com and american cinematographer have real dps telling you what they do.
Colorist forums like liftgammagain also the same.
Dslr forums and dvxuser and reduser dont have as many working professionals. So take what they say with a grain of salt.
You can trust certain peoples opinions and sometimes not.
Like a dp i really respected lead me down a rabbits hole.
So trust your gut and always do your own tests!! My own tests are many times flawed.
So of course as most of you know...never trust what my likes or taste are either.  I am a weirdo.

Also im going to spend 200 dollars on an Egyptian journalist to research your dad and yourself.
I rather just give that money to timotheous.
I have started the process.
Just tell the truth and save us the trouble.

Ebrahim, I do not understand why people have not been refunded yet. If your family has so much money and the amount of the scam is peanuts for you, why don't you go and refund them immediately? It will take you less than an hour to wire the money back to them. Your responses saying that you are thinking about sending the actual lens if they decide who should receive them sound ridiculous (sorry to say that) and it seems like a scammer talk. So, please stop. It is becoming very difficult to try to persuade the mob to give you the benefit of the doubt. Worse yet when you say you have a kind of army to defend yourself as if you lived in a bunker or when you say that the scam is not a crime in Egypt. It is just beyond ridiculous.

So you know about firmware updates but not about your password?

Is this the thread for finding pokemon?
