    Nope, credit card company said they were not responsible for the condition of the item, hence they would not issue a refund since I received it, totally defeated the purpose of using a CC in the first place.

    Credit card company i can kind of understand, since you were doing a person-to-person transaction. But paypal is usually hyper-reactionary about this sort of thing and basically always sides with the buyer. Or so I thought.

    Mega suckage man. sorry.

    You should report him to human resources at Frontier Airlines and say one of their employees is committing repeated fraud.

    GRENDAL, I reviewed the small time criminal's social networking site, and perused his list of acquaintances. Among them, are a blend of slackers, substance abusers and homosexuals. However, there is one user in particular, who resembles Mimi from te Drew Carey show, and appears to be his mother. Here is her message dated May 17 2009 7:37 PM

    "But you are already SPECIAL......love ya....have fun....and for gosh sake's be good...."

    Kindly share your experience with that woman.

    Sorry to hear it, GRENDAL... I hate scams.

    Quick question though -- Is he requesting to be paid again (a second time), or did Paypal refund you the money before? From his description he makes it sound like he didn't get any money nor did he get the items back.

    I'm just confused why he would come back to you and request money.

    So he never got paid, and you sold his stuff at a gamestop? So did you make 80 bucks on the deal?

    I am no XBOX expert but don't they have a 50% failure rate? Isn't it possible it could have failed once you got it?

    So wait, were you able to play the Xbox for any time at all when you got it? Or did you turn it on and it was immediately Red Ringed of Deathed?

    I think Paypal only covers your money with fraud stuff when it's an eBay item, not when you do other transactions that involve sending money for goods, at least that's how I think they operate.

    Im confused. He is requesting that he be paid, but you said you already paid him on a CC and took a loss?

    So by what your saying, he is asking for money again?

    Should not worry about his threat of small claims court if you already paid and obviously have CC proof of this.




    Other than that, does he live in houston? Some folks could go visit him.

    Thanks Clutch, I was never refunded my money. He's asking to be paid again after he pretty screwed me out my original 220.

    I am to, I'd just taken it as, oh well dude screwed me and moved on. Then 6 months later i get this money request from him via Paypal.
