Should I call out someone on BBS
« on: November 19, 2011, 10:39:04 AM »
Short story..

Someone buys something from ya and then hasn't sent payment to ya after 2 weeks, refuses to answer Pm's and you have no way of contacting him/her. Do you call them out on the BBS and expose what you feel?? No names will be given so don't ask, but irony is what he is doing to me happened to him.

You made this even more ironic for a second there.

Good luck to everyone, it's always a real bummer when this happens.

You don't have a phone number and address?  Shame on you.

don't you have to put your current address down to HTC when signing up? (Been 7 years, dont quite remember)

If you do, and you have proof that he really did rip you off, have your local police give HTC a call.

They could do anything from get his address from his fill out sheet for the game, Or maybe even track his I.P address the next time he logged onto the game.


I say this because i had a friend last year who had his ps3 stolen from him. He knew who it was because he had caught the person in the act, but they ran off before he could stop them.
Cops got ahold of the kids parents, they lied and made an allebi for him.

My friend gave up hope of retrieving his ps3 so he decided to buy a new one. He had his PSN account set to auto-sign on whenever the ps3 turns on.


One day he was on his new ps3, and a msg poped up informing him that someone else had signed into his ps3 at another location.

He got ahold of his local police who called the SCEA up. i think they tracked the location of his ps3 threw his psn account, because they ended up getting it back and catching it in the other kids possession.

May be able to do that with HTC.

It wasn't on the street. he was out, came home to find the kid trying to hide in his yard behind one of his trees, when he approached the kid  ran off.
Guess i should of mentioned the kid broke into my friends house to take it.

It was on the bus...  he was about to put it in his pocket.
Would of been a bit more fitting in one of scorpion's threads.

I would call them out and get the word around about the scum that they are.

So you said you would ship the goods on the 8th. That was 11 days ago.

Is it possible that the customer held payment until he/she received the goods and found them to be in good working order?

Perhaps payment is en-route via snail mail and it is taking a little time.

Perhaps the buyer has been AFK for a bit, thus the lack of communication.

11 days from shipment to condemnation is a little hasty in my opinion.


A lot of "maybe's" in my scenario. Just my $0.02

this^ it always seems to take 2 weeks just to receive something. Any less time and I feel I observed a miracle (with snail mail that is)
