    GRAND PRIZE - DishStore.NET Giveaway!

    I would like to be entered to win as well. Thanks. P.S., Thanks for putting up a "Merry Christmas" logo, instead of a happy "Holidays" one! Political correctness stinks! :)

    use "old" 622 Hard drive in computer

    If you are interested, I can help you with the "conversion" of the drive to make it work in your computer, and I might be interested in what is left of the 622 for "parts". Maybe we can work something out. Let me know if you are interested.

    The message I got was that he had some funds in his account, so they were able to retrieve part of my money. Basically it was the portion of the money that was charged to my American Express though, the rest that I haven't recovered yet was from paypal balance. Unfortunately some deals don't...

    I'm still waiting for paypal to recover the rest of my money, but at least they got SOME of it so far.

    If only you had your information and timeline straight, and would pay attention to what I (and others) have repeatedly told you. irwin posts 8/11/07 with stuff for sale 8/12/07 he apparently revised the post to remove some items that were sold, but still had a 622 listed. 8/11-etc some posts...

    That was well AFTER everyone had already sent their money. P Smith was asking about MY 622, not LER's. LER just happened to respond saying he had received his, which is when the flags started to go up. AGAIN, that was WAY AFTER he had already taken money from multiple people. NOBODY knew...

    Two of my lawyers both suggested that for now I just continue doing what I have already been doing. Proceed with complaints and followups with the FBI, and his local police department, and also wait to see the outcome of the paypal investigation in hopes my money is returned. They also said to...

    Yeah, I'm sure after being outed and having his website, and his ebay account name spread all over, he can't do business using that info anymore. Actually eBay probably shut him down due to the complaints through paypal, to protect themselves from any further scam damage. I too remember seeing...

    The thing is, he DIDN'T say he got more BEFORE taking our money, so your comments are completely inaccurate and unwarranted. There was nothing blatantly obvious that his ham wasn't kosher, until AFTER we sent payments. Or at least that applies in my case. I am the one that OUTED him so to speak...

    Yeah, I have to contact AMEX if paypal doesn't recover my money. I'm platinum with AMEX, so I am quite confident that I'll get my money back one way or the other. I just hoped to get a proper refund rather than having to jump through hoops. I am considering following the seller everywhere he...

    Yep. That is one reason why as soon as I started seeing a problem I filed a complaint, hoping it would lock his funds in paypal before he could sneak away with them. I also told the others to do the same as quickly as possible, but I don't think it worked. I think he managed to get his funds...

    You are correct about the multiple misdemeanors not making a felony (too bad though huh?). However, I believe internet fraud is considered a felony, but I am not 100% sure on that one. Mail fraud is a Felony, but I'm not sure if it counts if the USPS wasn't involved, and that may be why the...

    AZ has the most days of sunlight in the U.S., and it does tend to be warmer year round, but we do get our cold spells, and we do get snow and bad weather, especially the further north you go in the state. I'm sure that is one of many reasons most states don't try the tent city methods, but...

    Paypal is still probably one of the best options, but as others mentioned, use your credit card (if you have one) so you can use their own protection if it comes down to it. I have just been waiting for paypal to determine the outcome of my complaint, and see if they somehow get lucky and...

    Not everyone in prison (or even in holding at a local jail) are murderers or rapists. LOTS of people that commit petty crimes are locked up. It depends on the prosecutor, the judge, the circumstances of the case, previous criminal history, job status, ability to repay debts, etc.. Yes, some...

    Oh something else I failed to mention. If he's on probation currently, he has violated his probation, and will be subject to whatever jail terms were previously set. If he were sentenced to 1 year but given 3 years probation instead, they can immediately put him in jail for that previous...

    I have seen cases over $50 that resulted in jail time and a much much HIGHER dollar amount being awarded for damages, not to mention the court costs and the fines. It would be especially likely in this case if what others have said is true about him having been arrested for this before. It...

    Wouldn't do any good to complain about ebay since it has nothing to do with them (the seller was selling his stuff on here, not on ebay), and paypal is not responsible for what a seller does. They try to protect their users, but they are somewhat limited in what they can do too, and they are...

    I too am still waiting. So far nothing but excuses and lies from the seller. His excuse for shipping a package that was NOT a 622 that I purchased was "there was a shipping mixup at the ups store". Uh, yeah, whatever! if that were true, why did EVERYONE involved get a FAKE package. I don't think...

    Blockbuster Online Major Price Increase Alert:

    I also want to say that I too had netflix (had both for a while), and I dropped Netflix because they never had newer movies available when I wanted them, and the delivery time was a bit longer than it is with Blockbuster (for me at least). I'm sure part of the speed of delivery and return is...

    Blockbuster Online Major Price Increase Alert:

    Actually the message I got from blockbuster online was that they are changing the 3 DVD at a time unlimited plan with Unlimited IN-STORE Exchange to now only allow 5 in-store exchanges per month, and the price remains the same price. If you opt for the 3 dvd at a time unlimited and still want...
