Bad trader alert. AVOID this guy. - Page 5  

wow. check out the reply to my thread over there:

http://www.vtxoa.com/forums/viewtopi...=805173#805173

Man I live ~10hrs away. If it was just a couple hours it would have been done already. I don't have time to set aside 20 hours for a road trip. And i don't even know where he lives. That address is his parents'. I already spoke to his father and wants no part in this.

Paypal has a bunch of investigations with this guy. There's a lot of shit going on here. They told me worse case scenario they will go to a collections agency to get my funds. This could take a while however.

I also found his real address, and not his father's.

Stephen Vickory
EDIT - address removed bc he has payed up.

I just filed another investigation through paypal and filed a fraud and damage complaint through the USPS.

This is my latest reply:

Looks like he didn't like that last e-mail as he's called me 3 consecutive times in the past 10 minutes. Funny considering how hard it is to get a hold of the guy.

Edit- make that four. Nice little fire under his ass right now.

At this point, I'm keeping all contact to e-mail. I'm saving all this shit.

Just got this gem in my inbox:

i HIGH Advice you to answer your phone before 5pm I am going to be
force to take Legal Remity for slander



He's going to take legal action against me???

Look who decided to make an appearance on the forums and say that I'm lying:

http://forums.anandtech.com/messagev...&enterthread=y

Unbelievable. This gets better and better.

Check the anandtech thread and see all the PROOF IN E-MAILS.

I see nothing wrong in posting this publicly. You did not want to resolve this issue privately so I was forced to go to the forums. At the very least, its a warning to others to not deal with you.

Too late to play the good guy, Stephen.

Good job. I guess you fooled the mods over there. That thread is now closed thanks to you.

It's ok. I'll transfer those threads over here.

Force YOU into a corner??? What have you been doing to me? I had no choice but to do that. And there was no slander there. Look up the definition of slander.

Steve, Its simple, goto Kinkos like I said in Last email,. send
out the monitor, I will send laptop. yeah.. USPS screwed us..
3weeks to deliver. I am not going back and worth either. I am
trying to make this go simple. Paying everything.. Send it out
tommorow . . and I will do the same. Not punishing anyone..
You are not loosing all this money on shipping. I am.. I am not
asking you to do anything except, box it up, and drop it off.

I am also not trying to take advantage of you. I am trying very hard
to get this over with.. Bend OVER BACKWARDS. You desided what u
wanna do

Stephen

Thats a good thing, I went to mylocal Post office and talked to the post master

AT anyrate, I have your Laptop boxxed up and ready to be shipped back to you

its coming FEDEX. I will get you the tracking this evening,I want
you to Send the monitor back FEDEX OR USPS Prioroty . I enclosed a
MoneyOrder in your name for $35.00 that should cover the cost..
This is the best thing to do. I Ran Over a nail with my motorcycle,
$160.00 for the tire and $85.00 tohave it installed

Sorry for the mess. If shipping ends up costing you more,let me know I
will send you the difference

Thanks
