Well well, a good two months later and here I am, the stupidest con-artist in history. Right? I mean what self respecting con-artist gives the person he's defrauding all of his contact info, including cell phone numbers and addresses, etc. C'mon guys, if I had really set out with the intent of committing fraud in order to get a couple of free swords I sure wouldn't have been making myself and my endeavors as public as I did here in the thread "do NOT use USPS", and a thread that I forget the name of on wiwingtis forum.
I have had nothing but good things to say about Marc in ALL of my posts, I corresponded with him as much as I could, and I am not a thief. I have been without internet from the day I moved early in May, until a couple of days ago, so I'm sure that added to everyones suspicion of me, and rightfully so I would say. But now, let me just tell anyone who cares on this forum what happened on my end, and maybe some dots will be connected to show that I am not a fraudulent customer.
First off: I NEVER initiated the chargeback on this transaction. Period. I don't know how I can prove this, but logic would tell you that if you were going to steal from someone like this, you wouldn't file a chargeback within a couple of hours, as Marc says, after receiving tracking info, that's pretty stupidly suspicious. On my paypal account under disputed transactions, I can look under this case file and paypal does not list a chargeback reason besides "other", or a chargeback reason code. Beside all of this I wrote to paypal, and my credit company, and told them I never authorized a chargeback.
Now as far as I can tell, my credit card company is the progenitor of this chargeback. They filed it automatically without asking me, because they "say" and I'm not lending any credence to this, there was something about Marcs online business that raised some sort of red flag for them. I told them, over and over, to ignore it and just pay him. So they did, according to a letter i received from them on July 4th, or at least they paid his paypal account I should say, because I now have my expected charge of $490.00 to pay off on this credit card account that I have subsequently closed because of this ridiculous mess they've made.
NOW then, since I now have my internet back, I am more than willing to answer anyones questions about this, this issue seems to have drawn a fair amount of attention from people in here, and I do realize this is all kinda late in the game but this is just how it happened. There is a copy of my credit card bill for all this en route to me, and I will make it available for anyone to read including Marc and this forum once I receive it, and i can try to produce anything anyone else can think of.
Oh, and just in case anyones wondering this, yes I was going to just send Marc a cashiers check, but I can't do that now that I've been charged for it and pay double, can I? That would be fool hardy. So lets hear it guys, I know there was alot of you saying that this is obviously a fraud, so here's your chance to ask me, the alleged defrauder, anything that might prove me a thief.
