In case it's relevant. I can add that I was sent the wrong product which I purchased on amazon by a sender this January. In my case, it was a 9$ product, so it wasn't very expensive (it was a case for a tablet, when they should have sent a case for a phone), in any case, what happened is that I wrote to them and they sent me the right case. I asked them to send me some sort of shipping label. They said "we don't do that, just send it back to me at your own expense and we'll reimburse you".
I write this just to say that I don't think it's true that amazon always sends you a label. I was not sent a label in this case.
Even though Amazon did not give you a label, you would have had to buy one yourself (or maybe you just bought a stamp if it only was worth $9 and was small in size), but the point is that postage needed to be purchased. Regardless, this does not match turtle's story that he was told to return the coin in it's original packaging.
For the packaging that a $1,300 gold coin is going to come in, an actual shipping label (for a parcel) is going to have to be used (as opposed to a stamp) if sending via USPS.
Even in the
extremely unlikely event that a tracking number is 100% unavailable for the shipment of the coin back to Amazon, there would be some kind of
other documentation that Amazon actually received the coin....something on his Amazon account, an email confirming this fact, anything.
I told him (via PM) that I would reevaluate my rating if he could provide some evidence that he returned the coin:
The only reason I didn't send it yet is because "AnonCard" refused to give me a receipt. I feel like an idiot for loading the card without a receipt, since that puts me at risk of being scammed. I wanted to wait a little while to make sure the funds did not disappear.
And for the record, here is him refusing a receipt. It gave me a very bad feeling. It is extremely unusual for a customer not to have a receipt and usually indicates fraud.
Please post your Bitcoin address here and I will send the Bitcoins. In the future please get receipts, you would've had your Bitcoins instantly if you had a receipt.
I believe that this behavior is very similar as to what happened in this case, as well as the case when he had a
dispute with segveg, even to the point that turtlehurricane opened his own
scam accusation against segvec regarding the incident.
Regardless of what ends up happening in this case, anyone considering to deal with turtlehurricane in the future should absolutely use escrow.
