    No it was not. I've accepted the fact that I was burnt and he's a POS. The moment he told me he would rather use venmo instead of paypal I should have known. I just hope my experience will prevent others from falling into the same trap. I live in southeast CT and it would just be a PIA to try to battle this one out, from one coast to the other.

    So here is an update:
    I guess my Craigslist post got his attention. im now constantly getting text from him. he offered for me to come pick up the $$$. i offered for him to Paypal or venmo and now has some more excuses. he is threatening to take legal action. Libel, slander or some sort, but he does not know what estafa is. I guess its hurting his bottom line. This is now entertaining.
    I wish i know how to share text conversation.

    Screenshot the texts ?! What phone do you have haha. What a fucking idiot like 5 people can take legal action on HIM. Go pick up your money and bring some BIG homies ;) jk or just yourself and some anger. How far are you from him? I'll be down in El Cajon like 10 mins from this guy on Thursday or Friday.... I don't mind confronting him for everyone

    So here it is. I can't do screen shot, Its very lengthy. So scroll down to the end for the meat.



    Me: Hi , just checking if we are still on for the week end for the slider installation .
    What’s the schedule look like. I’d like to plan my week end if possible

    Him: Call you in a few mins

    Him: Sorry, I'm in a power outage in my phone was dead. The car charger takes forever
    We are good for installation Sunday if you have time to drop the truck off?
    Yeah . I’m in a bad place for cell phone

    Him:
    Good morning bud. I had a family emergency last night and I'm not home yet. We're you dropping the truck off or waiting while I install? I may have to delay a bit.
    Me: I’ll be waiting
    Can’t drop it . Have nowhere to go with out the truck
    So what time do you want me
    To be there

    Me:
    I guess ni word for the day

    Me:
    Bud, hope everything is alright on your end, do you have an idea in mind when we can get this done so I can make schedule on my end. I’d like to be able to plan a schedule .
    Call me when you have a break so we can schedule
    Confirming friday Oct 26th rock slider install.
    Ok will try to be early
    I’m shooting 3pm. To get ahead of traffic .
    Be here by 3?
    I’m leaving here at 2. Give or take. 3 hope trafic is not bad

    Him: Hey bud can you call me when you get a chance, I wasn't planning on you till about 4. I'm not home yet.
    Call back please. Tried calling

    Me:
    Damm ok I’m here . I’ll wait somewhere
    Be back at 4

    Him: I’m here

    Me:
    Any updates with the keys. Really like to get this done this week end . I’ve block two week ends already. Next week end will be busy and week days are going to be late in the evenings

    Me: Wats up?
    I can make it today
    Home a call.
    Time to break in the barn dude
    I mean give e a call
    Damm now I’m second guessing the bottom bracket

    Me:
    What’s up dude, you just don’t want to answer your nessssge or what?
    You know just needing an update to get this shit out of the way. I’ve been very flexible with scheduling but it’s getting close to being busy. If you just don’t want to talk to me and get this done let me know and we’ll just even this out .

    Me:
    Hey,it’s Friday agin still no word from you. I don’t understand what the deal is. So I guess I’ll just swing by and hope to catch your you home or work . Whatever it is.

    Me: Really can’t figure out what happened to this deal . Did I do something fucked up, or was it just you intention for this to go this way.
    Ok I guess I’ll see you .

    Me:
    Happy Sunday .! Will be heading your way later

    Him:
    I won't be home for a bit. I had to come to county court house and it's taking longer. Let meet up tomorrow. I'll be in Del Mar after 3

    Me: You really just don’t ran out of issues. . Where in Del Mar.im cancelling an appointment to meet with you . Si flake out agin and your costing me money . wTF dude?
    What tie are you home? I’ll be there tonight
    Nap are you going to to provide address in Del Mar .
    And time

    Me:
    Are you there tonight. I ca swing by

    Him:
    I am home. If you wouldn't mind. I'd rather refund you. I'm not okay with just giving them to you at a further discount. I'm sorry I wasn't able to get them installed for you. But I was already discounting heavily and installing to get photos.

    Him: Do you have paypal or venmo?

    Refund plus the cost of your the purchase on Amazon for VHT paint
    What was thw cost of your spray paint
    File Transfer: Screenshot_2017-11-09-20-19-36-2.png
    2 of these @ this price right?

    Me:
    Yes,tow of those and PayPal at xxxxxx96@yahoo.com.

    Me:
    Ok dude, I’m waiting.
    Is this going to be another “jerk my ass” deal.
    You can’t find the time to install it and “your not comfortable letting it go for a discount “
    That is the best bull crap coming from you.
    But I’m sure you got more to come.
    Why can’t you just be straight up. And tell what the fuck is going on. Be a man with some cajones and build a business that that has integrity with your dealing.
    Good luck on your business if you treat your customers like you did me.
    You are really a pain to do business with. No what is your fucking excuse , no money? Just send the money and get it over it.

    Me:
    Are you paying me back or just decided to steal my money. Non reply implies you decided to call your self a thief and I will continue to fuck with your add in CL and TW.
    Take your business somewhere else.

    Me:
    Have a fucked up day

    Me:
    Hey what’s up

    Me:
    Thanksgiving and still nothing.? You are living up to being a tool!

    Me:
    Happy holiday fuck face!

    Him:
    Hey bud, thank you for impersonating me on facebook. You're a classy dude over a $90 deposit.

    Please feel free to stop in an collect you money and paint cans.

    You're a wierd dude. Happy holidays.

    Me: Your still a fuck face! Look what 90 bucks got you!

    Him: Not much of any thing but people wanting to pick up things in person. After having read your posts on tw and cl.

    Him: You have zero idea what happened in the lawsuits you have used to slander me. I doubt you were smart enough to hide your IP in sharing them. That constitutes slander. I have zero malicious intent.

    I have your money and sliders in my shop where you know I live.

    Yes I'm the fuck face, I don't want to be cursed out and shit talked. You're a grown man and have not handled your self better.

    I called you and you chose not to speak to me 3 times. But you send me texts calling me a fuck face and slander me online. Thank you sir. You're a great dude.

    Yoy have my address as you've shared it will malice intent.
    Nothing now.

    Me:
    Good morning.
    Oh shit I finally hit a button.
    More than a month you won’t answer my text and call. And now I get 4 text and phone call.
    You know my PayPal fuck face!

    Him:

    I don't have paypal. I tried to reopen it and it wouldn't link toy bank account. You can come in person. Or I can meet you later this week when I meet some one in oceanside.
    I wasn't trying to dick you for $90. But there some thing seriously wrong with you impersonating me on facebook man.
    You absolutely zero idea what the lawsuits are about. One is is legit and one is frivolous. That's so fucked up to share that information publicly.

    Me:
    Ok, Facebook is foul. But it got your attention. You ducked me on my hard earned money and jerked me around. Now that’s fucked up don’t you think? All linked posted are public info on the web. I did not make that up.
    Ok you don’t have paypal but that should have not stop you from returning my money.
    And I’m the one fucked up. Geeze

    Him:
    I stopped communicating with you when you started cussing at me. How would you like to handle this, would you like to drive down here or would you like me to meet you in Oceanside Thursday or Friday.

    Understand some thing... all of that information constitutes a libel suit. And I can prove your postings are directly the cause for lost income. You think because the lawsuits aren't lies it's okay to share. You've said youre self you've done this with malicious intent.

    Look up what you need to prove to sue some one for Libel. You have met all of the criteria to have a case.
    The man who sued me, Luizo, that was legitimate and I didn't fight it. But he won a settlement of 4 times what he actually paid as a deposit.

    The 2nd guy, sued me for the cost of finishing his car though he took every thing I built and didn't pay a cent on any invoice in 3 months.

    You know nothing about the circumstances. But you share it to hurt my reputation.
    Blah, blah, blah.....
    you did not have a problem taking my money and jerking me around. you know my PayPal . You’re a big boy . Figure it out if you don’t have an account . I heard you have been taking money on Venmo or something also.
    Just asked if you'd like to come down or meet me in oceanside. I also asked you if you had venmo. You said no, paypal you.

    Me:
    Ok I now have Venmo.
    Sammie Theman. @Sammie-Theman

    90.00
    32.50 for the paint.

    Your move

    Him: No sir. 16.5 on paint
    $26.5 actually. My mistake
    I'm not sending you any thing untill the ads and tw, are down. If you chose not to. That is your choice and I will follow through. You've done way more damage that $90.
    I'm not a law suit person. Thats not how I deal with people but your text, emails and postings. I have you dead nuts on it. My lawyer wouldn't take the case if he didn't see a worth while outcome.
    Share what I've said to yoy publicly. I don't care. You're the only person who's pulled this crap. You're the only one I will file against.
    The Facebook crap isn't just wierd. Youre a vet and over 50. How shitty would it look to be charged with cyber bullying. What you did there caught my attention because it was incredibly childish. You could have driven here and met with me in person. Where I live an work.

    Me: Peace out dude. Over and out!

    Him: That's cool. You want you money or not. I've tried calling you
    If the ads are still being run tomorrow. I will file against you. Do not react out of anger. Think about it. Possibly speak to your wife. You crossed the line with fb. Reveiw your conduct and just take your money back.
    I'm not a sue happy fuck.

    Is he serious? He took my $300 no problem and ghosted me. He's a POS. If someone confronts him and gets me my money back, ill give them $100!!

    I have wasted time, gas money and time off work dealing with this guy. Just like i said He's got to many excuses and cancels meet-ups. My goal was to get the word out to let people know to be cautious when dealing with him.
    He as delivered on some forum members and he has taken peoples money as well. Including myself.
    I guess he is now hating life as it has affected his business (if you want to call it that).
    It cost me 15 bucks in gas money and time on traffic just to hear lame excuses. and believe me they are.

    Now lets assume i show up and get pissed off and the situation turns south, which with my demeanor might happen, then what. Im a disabled veteran and dont need to go that way. I appreciate some members volunteer to assist but really not worth their time to get involve unless they were also scammed of their money.

    He has threaten to sue me for libel and slander. That is how desperate he is.
    I don't think he will be doing any business here and most of his Craigslist post has been flagged.
    He is pissed off that Ive linked his small claim filed against him, this forum link and another forum where he scammed other people.
    He's got rent to pay and other expenses.
