Knote, Sounds like you might need to drive by his house. I'm not saying to fight over it but I think you need to let this guy know you mean business. I'm going to take a stab at it and say he's a young kid. You might need to speak with his Mom or Dad. You've been nice guy over this whole situation. This guy is taking advantage of you and he doesn't care.
That guy really is something else. First he scams people and then he has the nerve to show up again in the thread with 3rd grade stupid insults. Some people... Refund the full amount. Does anyone remember that thread on some car enthusiast board where someone stole a car and they found out where it was, and a bunch of members from the board went there and got the guy arrested? In this case, we even have the address... Edit: http://forums.beyond.ca/showthread.php?threadid=212943&perpage=40&highlight=&pagenumber=1 It was this one, and there are a lot more examples like that. This scammer DCProwler better watch his back...
should of paid more attention to the "workin at the moment" part, sounds shady from the beginning. but that sux just give the guy his money back u ass!
True - when I went to the beginning of the thread and read the initial post, this stood out to me as well.
Wow what an epic thread that is. Thanks for the link SJC! That is the type of justice that all scammers and thieves deserve.
He told me he is sending a check on Friday when he gets paid... That will be the final chance and hopefully the end to all this nonsense.
Yup, I checked it out and I have plenty of time to get really involved If I don't get that check by Monday or Tuesday next week.
"When you bring in a check, it will be logged and a search made to see if the maker has any other hot check offense pending. If there is, yours will be combined with the one(s) previously filed to expedite your restitution. If not, this office usually notifies check writers that a case is about to be filed against them. If they do not make restitution and pay the prosecutor's processing fee, prosecution procedures will be started. Repeat offenders are required to attend a "Hot Check" Class. The Hot Check Fee Act was passed by the Legislature to defray some of the prosecution expense and require the hot check writers to help bear the cost of their misdeeds. After filing a case, there can be the additional expenses of a fine, court costs, and incarceration." I don't understand why someone that accepted credit can't pay by credit. Fishy?
Perhaps I'm only speaking for myself, but your publicly-aired grievance is getting really annoying. Give it a rest already, or save it for PMs or something? We get it dude - you got slighted, bad. You're out some bucks currently. Really sorry about that. But it's on you, so why do you need to continue to give us such an unbelievably detailed account of every horrible thing you're apparently going through? There's worse stuff going on than your whining about this. Meanwhile, you've made your point a dozen times over. You've taken the case of good-friendly business among Rockets fans and shown how that can get royally messed up sometimes. It's truly unfortunate, but it has to die down at some point. I honestly hope it works out for you so this epic disaster can finally end. But it is simply getting tiring to see this getting bumped over and over so you can update folks on... minutia.
And you don't have to read this thread. No one put a gun to your head and said read this thread. Don't be an ass. I'm the one that asked him what's going on with this.
That's true, I'm sorry to have been mean-spirited here. Ultimately, I do feel bad for the guy. I'll shut up now. Hope it works out man.
