    Well, that would be a good thing but still hardly a redeeming gesture. Even if everyone was refunded.

    I hope all the members that were ripped off get their $ back though.

    I was refunded $100 via PayPal for my missing low voltage cutoff today. Almost exactly one year to date of my initial order.

    Sky- Everyone makes choices they are responsible for in life, no excuses...none. I really hope you learned something from all this.

    csuviper- Grateful for your tireless effort in making members whole.

    I've been waiting about a year and 21 days so far...

    I started a complaint with paypal a few months ago. The seller has a few days to contact the customer before paypal steps in. Skygear sent me an email just before the time limit that said only "Did you receive a box?" I replied no and asked again for a refund and have not heard a thing in the last few months. I think I'm gonna try the paypal complaint again. I'd love to have my $157 back.

    I did a PayPal complaint awhile back an he wrote back just before it was too late and said it's on its way so PayPal wouldn't do anything now I can't even figure out how to do another complaint I think it's been too long. I feel your pain I was in for $257

    This hustle was advertised all over the internet and this forum is the only one that has moderators that are being proactive about helping resolve this issue. Sadly, there are probably others that are still out their money that have no idea that this thread exists.

    How is this guy not in jail? As I understand it, theft is a punishable offense.

    Because our legal system isn't able to process everyone who steals a few hundred dollars :notsure:

    Just like he didn't get anything for writing bad checks; you really have to try to get the attention of your local prosecutor.

    Depends on who you ask. I think Mike said some dude was just giving him a hard time or something over a bounced check :notsure:

    Either way his name is all over the local police web site for writing a bad check.

    I also want to express the following:

    1. Disappointment for those who got screwed over by Mike.

    2. Appreciation for the mods/admin for trying everything in their capacities to make things right for those who got screwed over. No consolation for those in bullet point #1, but at least they shortened the "screwed over" list.

    Having had "successful" (relatively speaking) communication with Mike as he was building the product that I eventually received (after very long delays and copious amounts of his bullshit) I felt the need to go to bat for those being screwed as well. I found him on expeditionalportal and sent him a PM on 11/17/15. A couple of hours later he was back in touch on TW for the first time in forever.
