hawkeye4life: TAKING LEGAL ACTION
« on: November 16, 2006, 08:18:34 AM »
Here is what I got from PayPal today:

quote:
After careful review, we have concluded our investigation of the Buyer
Complaint described below.

We have decided in your favor, however, we were unable to recover any
funds
from the seller's account. As stated in the PayPal User Agreement,
recovery
of funds associated with a Buyer Complaint cannot be guaranteed.

Please know that we will make our best effort to recover the funds in
question if they become available in the seller's account in the future
and
will take appropriate action against the seller. Such action may
include
issuing a warning, a temporary restriction, or terminating the account.
Keep in mind that PayPal uses a number of factors to determine when to
take
action, including member complaints. Due to privacy laws, we cannot
discuss
the details of any action taken. We hope you understand our policy and
that
it assures you that you are safe using PayPal.


Adam has obviously scammed all of us by delaying our action with this stunt that he KNEW would not cost him a thing. I have already dug up most of his personal information thanks to a buddy of mine who works in private investigation, so I am going to report him to his local authorities and to the Internet Fraud department. Anyone wishing to join me in this action pleast post here and we will get organized.

**ADAM: YOU HAVE UNTIL 10 P.M. TONIGHT TO RESPOND TO ME**

This ends now.

I would also appreciate it if some of you could spread the word of this to the other bowling forums that Adam is a member of: bowlingkindom.com, bowlingballexchange.com, etc... I don't want anyone else getting ripped off by this loser.

Slop,

I had the same thing happen to me with that jeffseniorpba guy a year or so ago. He is the guy that ripped off mutiple people here. He stole $85 from me. Paypal ruled in my favor but they are absolutely no help at all in recovering the funds.. I received that same BS email you received. It makes no sense to me. Paypal has the bank account info from that person so why can't they take the money out of their bank account and pay people back the refund that they are owed??

I still use paypal but they for sure have major issues when it comes to buyers recovering funds.. Thats for sure..


--------------------
One day when I grow up I hope to be able to throw the ball AND carry as good as g_thing!!

A trip sounds like a good idea, IF he's around. The police will pay a visit for us, I'm sure.

It's nice that Paypal sends the message that users are...
"SAFE!".

It's nice to know that!  Even if someone has your money and you got the shaft!

That sucks!

Sorry for all you guys!

REgards,

PS I'd be just as upset at guys trying to pump him up as a good seller!

Open the door...see what's possible...and just walk right on through...that's how easy success feels..

Yep. This situation has made a LOT of users on here look like FOOLS. There were quite a few people who stood up for Adam during this situation...

Paypal is a joke, that is why to this day I don't have a paypal account.  I've been an ebay member since 1998.  If it's a paypal auction only, too bad you lost my bid.

Good luck to you guys!!

So where's the hawkeye cheerleading squad now?

I've had it happen as well with paypal.  Anyone a lawyer?  Is it / would it be possible to bring a class action suit against paypal for everyone who has received that B.S. message from them stating that they have ruled in our favor, but were unable to recover funds (even though they are linked to the users bank account and a credit card)?

just a thought...


You know.. I was thinking the same thing a few days ago when I read the ASB feedback for him stating that he purchased several balls...  if he didn't have any money to payback everyone.. why was he buying equipment.. then I thought maybe he was going through alternate channels to get everyone their equipment...  Yeah right!

I'm hoping for the best for all of you that were scammed...
