Ok...Harsh words from memebers that don't know shit about me. A quick search of my memeber name on here would clearly define the asset I am to the forums. So let me clear a few things up for you NBS.
1. I don't work a 9-5 job. I would 10 hour days minimium! My work week starts either Wed or Thursdays into Sunday. Sometimes I sleep at work and sometimes I don't. Either way as I get mail for the week my parents simply put it in a box in the spare room we have and I address it after I catch up on my sleep which is usually Mondays...but not today since I had to work half a day today from 10am-5pm. Even though I work weekends I still maintain an active social life. Sorry I can do without the forums, internet, and facebook for a period of time. Working pays the bills, mods, *****, clothes, alcohol, insurance, cell phone bill & gym membership.
2. Why I live with my rents...I just graduated from Hofstra University this past May. College was being PAID for by my rents but I messed up first semester with a .67 GPA. They wanted to kick me out. But I appealed before a review board at the University and they let me back in. So now College became my exspense and I took out loans. As most college grads and the rest of America its hard to find a job. My college loan is a couple bucks away from a mortgage payment. With working the hours I work doesn't justify me to rent an apartment that would be more like a hotel.
2. I'm 24.
3. I could have swore we swapped cell phone numbers b/c thats what I always do just incase anything happens. Plus I need his cellphone number as I needed it to put insurance on the package. Finding my home phone is easy b/c it is on the PAYPAL payment. You have enter information and it check ok to be verified. If I re-call correctly as my PP verification score is 8 or 9 b/c I've successfully sold things in the past.
You can view my selling record via ebay.com (over 200), newcougar.org, dsmtuners.com, nyccdsm.com, dsmtrader.com by entering FOREVERFALCON40 into the desired area.
4. I am a pretty easy going guy. jake contacted me bout the Hypertech being locked. I have never owned a HYPERTECH and no formal knowledge about it. I only know that custom tuning is the way to go. I had a dyno tune on my DSM and a BB on my EscaHoe. I think I am pretty knowledgable about modding vehicles but I tend to be more educated in the vehicles I own b/c i do all my research as well as the physical work. My friend owns a NBS asked me to sell it. I had no idea about it being locked. Jakes aksed me if it was locked, I asked my buddy to double check it. he hooked it up says it works so therefore I shipped via USPS 3 days shipping. Jake in the return process sends the pack back via UPS and we were still in contact. Told me the package would arrive via UPS on Monday. Not to my surprise it doesn't show up bc UPS SUXS! I glady wrote Jake telling him that the package did not arrive and to double check UPS. Tuesday came along and there was a death in the family of a fellow co-worker need me to go in and cover for him. My work week started and I had to fulfill my task as well as his tasks so it just made my days that much longer and work.
ANYWAY i refunded JAKE back the money via PP since I don't have the $120 in my PP account I used m Checking account.
PP says it will take 3-5 days. Here is the exact message:
Note: If you don’t have enough money in your PayPal account to cover this refund, we’ll use your primary bank account for all of the refund. This refund will be pending for 3-5 business days.

I figured you just hadnt had time. GLad to see ya back and have taken care of it.
Deservedly harsh words, kid. You committed felony interstate mail fraud. That is all I needed to know about you. I apologize that you got butt hurt from my offering good advice to the person that was scammed.
Next time take care of business upfront: Don't sell empty programmers, & issue prompt refunds when you screw up. It is YOUR name on the line when you sell for a 'friend', and your 'friend' ****** you over big time.
I'm glad you finally made it right, and look forward to verification from the person scammed so this can be closed.

Well I haven't received any money in my paypal account yet, although it does show a pending "refund" from Jason. Anyways, hopefully I get it all back. Point is, I understand you work a lot and have a busy life, Im sure 93% of people on the forum also work a lot of hours and have hectic lives. Thing that bothers me is that Im willing to bet my bank account that you've been home at some point in the last week and knew you received the package, maybe its just me, but as an honest person, that wouldve been my first priority to get the person his money back who was legit screwed out of it AKA me.
Part of me wonders that if i wouldnt have called your house today and talked to your dad, if you wouldve ever manned up and given me the money back. Im not going to trash your name, people can draw their own conclusions about you from the situation, i personally wont ever be buying anything from you again. Thanks for the pending refund though foreverfalcon.
Also, thanks to everyone who gave me advice considering i am new to the site, i really appreciate it.

Oldman Rivers, I did not commit anything. Sorry I have more important things to do then surf the web at as soon as I get home from work or going out. I don't use the computer to get my hard

I'm sorry it had to come to this. But I'm glad you ended up calling the house. I appreciate your kind words to my Father as he is a simple man as myself. He called me at work with the situation at hand, I told him it was OK to go thru my mail & boxes. He found the box that contained the programmer, he inspected it and gave me the phone number Jake left him. I called Jake right away at work to ease his mind. This is why I asked for phone numbers as Cell phone is the best way to reach me since I am not attached to the forums or laptop from the hip. SPent enough time on the internet and in front of computer in college. Jake, I'mn sorry you feel that way bout the situation, but inreality I'll just keep doing what I do until God takes my last breathe and that includes selling SUCESSFULLY
This does not ruin my parade @ all.

Ok, Im my dealing with Purchasing Online mainly in the DSM community which is one of the reasons I decided to sell her I learned the best way to protect my hard earned money.
1) ALWAYS PAY WITH PAYPAL
2) ALWAYS PAY WITH A Credit Card (I have American Express, They are very biased towards there customers or maybe b/c I have 25k in miles and I pay 90 a year to keep it)
3) When shit you feels go South, file a claim thru paypal. YOU HAVE 34 DAYS after transaction is complete. Paypal has changed their policies where I feel that really don't protect the buyer as much as they used too. So call your CC company right and explain the situation at hand. AMEX will credit your account and start its own investigation. Let them know you have filed a complaint with paypal as well. Give them about a month and a resolution will be at hand. AMEX has its own INVESTIGATION dedicated to this.
4) I never had to take this far but I guess if all else fails notify the local police if your CC doesn't.
In my personal experience weather its EBAY or forums, never hesitate to file a complaint via PP as long as you file the complaint with PP you've got your foot in the door. In the OLD days PP use to be great, I think they just took funds from the persons CC or Bank account they listed and called it a day if the seller did not comply and shut thier down account. Now they seem to be less proactive as nowadays PP will tell you to call your CC company to stop payment and have them handle it.
I give sellers in the US 7 Days to resolve the issue before I go to those methods, out of state aka foriegn sellers a month (if they are remailing a damaged or defaulted item) due to customs and etc etc.
