    called my cc company. i'll see my refund in a few days. when i gave her the date of the transactions, she said "the four horsemen ones", I said "yeah, how did you know?". she said "you aren't the fist complaint about them". 

    what a POS that guy is. 
    So good to hear that you're getting a refund. 
    i also shamed him on instagram a few days ago, serving as a warning to anyone else who might want to buy off him. he finally saw it last night and commented "WTF?". I couldn't believe he had the audacity to react.

    i also posted about it on their facebook page. I doubt it will be up long. but if even a few people see it and don't buy, then it's worth it.

    so this just got weird. he just messaged me:

    dave: i have 3 months to live. i know your address. i am going to come see you soon. 
    me: are you out of your mind? i'll be contacting the police with this threat
    dave: threat? what threat i want to meet you before i die. see you soon buddy. (heart)
    me: is this what you do to everyone who speaks up when you try to rip them off?
    dave: oh hush now my dear friend, you know how special you are to me. you are making me blush. think nothing of it! it's on my bucket list.

    Yeah, it kind of wrecks the band for me a bit, but probably will be fine in the long term. 
    this post didn't age well

    Hope you know some Trump fan guy carrying types to call for protection from that psycho.  That message would have me moving.

    That's wacky and sad in so many ways. 
    Sorry bud.

    thanks. gives a little window into how it's easily plausible the family of the dead lead singer isn't exactly at fault here. 

    i still find it really odd how he unblocked me from him personal page, then removed me from following the band page, but i'm not blocked on either. maybe because on instagram if you block someone, you can't see their posts either? maybe he wants to see if i make further posts about him.

    to be honest, i was kind of shaken at first, and coincidentally, the only reason I at first hesitated in calling him out is that I knew he had my name and address, but thought "what are the odds he'll do something nutty with that?". LOL. but i've calmed down to realize he was most likely just really angry at me for calling him out publicly like i did. but hey, you rip me off and refuse to respond? expect to be called out. maybe he's gotten away with it with others, who knows.

    lol. i'm on the fence about acquiescing. i want to be the bigger person, but seriously, the day after he told me he was coming to my house to "visit"? this guy is delusional.

    I don’t want to throw fuel on the fire but he posted a pic on instagram last night with a caption about how bad it is to wake a sleeping dog. Ordinarily I wouldn’t bat an eye but in light of your experience I’m utterly baffled.

    could be harmless. could be meant for me. who knows. it's actually a cute picture, lol. maybe that's his motivation for unblocking me....so I'll see these passive aggressive posts (but i don't follow him-i had to search for it). i hesitate to think this is all about me.

    this just took a VERY unexpected turn. he just asked me to take the pic down again, ending with "please". I said "i will if you answer why you took my money and then refused to answer my legit and polite requests for a shipping update". he said "I'm sick. lung cancer. not looking good. everyone got a refund". (which is a lie, i had to go through my credit card company). 

    i then asked "what was with the i know where you live business?". he said "alcohol". and then apologized for everything.
