I can't really laugh - over $1000 dollars was taken fraudulently from the good people of this forum.
Nuts and Bolts... Whew, just glad I sat out buying anything the past couple months. Probably would have thrown money into this shitstorm too. Sorry for you guys... Good luck.
All good, guy's a complete liar. Like truck said, im sure someone would take the time to hack your paypal account and then instead of going on a spending spree with your bank account and/or CCs, they head straight for a rock band's website to sell products they have no knowledge of...oh but wait, they hacked his EB account too! Now they can look up prices to very specific posters and list them for sale...
Any new realizations... would have to wait... Til he had more time,... more time... Time to dream,... to himself... he waves goodbye, To himself... I'll see you on the other side...
so i don't know how to begin this... i originally called the OP out for fishy wording when this thread first posted. he's made some changes along the way, and it appeared that a few buyers met satisfaction. i openly admit, i made a purchase from the OP. transaction went smoothly, i got what i paid for, as described. i am by no means defending his actions, nor am i saying that i have any inkling to his motivation in selling. furthermore, i am not saying that the most recent tale woven is close to fact act all, as i have no idea about described circumstances. i hate to see things like this happen, it sickens me. to that point i would say, those who are having an issue, please keep the rest of us informed of the resolution progress. i've seen this happen a few times over the course of years, and i'd say that the people who engage in this type of behavior are definitely in the minority of members here. i am not going to engage in a public debate about this specific instance, but i invite anyone involved here to contact me via PM with any questions concerning my dealing in this matter. OP, make this right.
Oh this just sucks. Sorry to all who got ripped off - nothing like sewing the seeds of distrust for fans who might make future deals on here.
I hope this gets straightened out quickly and refunds come through.
FWIW - the OP sent me a picture of the EV book so I could post a picture on here.That was sent from: stephen simon <smsimon1125@yahoo.com>
That email had been forwarded to me and was originally sent to Sephen from a different email address, so maybe that's why the book was actually sent while nothing else was?
A person cannot accidentally commit wire fraud. In order to secure a conviction, federal prosecutors must show that a defendant acted with the intent to fraudulently deprive someone of money, property, or something of value.
Wire fraud crimes involve schemes to defraud. A scheme to defraud is a plan a person employs that uses a statement, promise, misrepresentation, deception, or any other kind of falsehood designed to deprive a victim of something of value.
A person convicted of wire fraud faces significant potential penalties. A single act of wire fraud can result in fines and up to 20 years in prison
Wow, makes me sad to see this thread.....there are many great people who I trust on these boards that would give the shirt off their back if you asked them and I would pay with "family and friends" in a heartbeat, but this is proof that if you don't know someone at all then pay the small % to paypal, what is a couple more dollars!! I feel bad for everyone who got bend over without any lube..... I hope everyone involved gets all of this settled and either get their merch or get their money back!!!
What a story is this. Hope it works out for everyone and I hope he speaks the truth about this isn't his fault. I trust everyone on here, we all love the same band and we're part of the family.
If I was involving in a hacking scam like this I would be mortified. Most definitely alert the authorities and regardless of how busy my life was I would make it my business to constantly check back here and deal with comments levelled at me to clear my name. There is none of that going on....
Sucks for those who are burned. Like someone said, gross up the amount due for the fees if the seller is hell bent on using friends and family (or just don't buy it).
I've only been burned once on this board but luckily I was only out the $30 it cost to buy the stickers and pins that I sent and was selling for cost. I shipped before payment and the dude hasn't logged in since October.

Thanks for that. First time I've smiled about this whole thing in a week.
The fake EV signature is laughable.
