^ could not agree more. At this point I don’t care what happened. You’re trying to make things right, even if it takes time and that’s rare around here. Says a lot about your character. I think I messaged you about a refund, but ignore it. Take care of everyone else. My digital card is enough.

Its good to see you doing the right thing and refunding. Iv got a feeling this might take a while and it would have been nice to see a quick resolution but id rather see this than a full blown 100 percent skamaroo.

  Basorexia,
                 Thankyou for the PM and also for my full refund.

                 Confirming btc was sent back to me.

                 Cheers

I understand that this situation made you very upset and I feel sorry for that as I said.
I will keep refunding as quick as I can do, I have a usual salary of ukranian designer and I have a family.
Please do not ask for any art work anymore I will never accept a satoshi. And I am making refunds not because I want to restore my reputation (like some say here), no. I am refunding because my mistakes led to your losses.

Peace and please do not bury me in shit even if I did a mistake.

I agree. I'm not convinced that the skam was malicious. In fact, I'd argue that the evidence suggests that the original intent was to make and distribute the goods in proper faith. Selling goods that haven't actually been made yet (or being in the possession of the seller) is a common scam. However, these physical goods were all made as evidenced by the photos. IMHO, it makes no good sense to scam for shipping costs only. The goods were already made and ready to ship. If you're going to scam from the start, then why bother to even make the goods? Therefore, I have to agree with STT above. I think the problem is more likely to be monetary incompetence that finally destroyed the otherwise original good intentions toward making a legitimate side business in this collectibles market. Regardless, it is what it is.


Personally, I paid BTC for the digital card, the physical card, and the custom Jeep Wrangler toy. (I'll never see the two physical items.) It's quite disappointing for multiple reasons.

Good luck to all who were skammed. I hope you receive a refund someday.

Regards,
Chris

I sent mine via PM and left an address here publicly.  Nothing of course either.  Sucks for all of us, but the ones who paid for toys got the worst of it. 

I sent him a PM with the TXID and amount he owes me. I have gotten no reply and no coins yet either. shocker...

Sorry, Jcga, that really sucks....  This was a well-executed scam, but it's still a pity.

ordered 3 cards here grrrr
At least i have a ytude vid of one of them.

    You can start making amends by at least responding to the pms of the customers you have swindled and tell them their payment will be returned and not blatantly ignoring any pms sent to you.

    That wont cost you a Satoshi. So no excuses there that your broke.

Yep, what you describe is totally normal here and on other forums.  In this case a few of us let our guards down because the seller did not seem like a seller but more of a motivated community member.  The entire affair is quite disappointing; not necessarily for the loss of funds but for the loss in the ability to trust what seems like a wholesome newbie.

 

lol read the gd thread buck

Hi, where do I get my card, who do I send funds to? can you laminate it?

Not on this forum but I'm a long term member elsewhere and if somebody is new I'd just let them know they can send an item and I'll pay on delivery.    Thats not unreasonable for established members and relatively low cost type stuff, obviously the seller might not want to proceed on that basis and thats fine also.    For trade work its often the case the job is done first and then payment is made.

I sent Basorexia a private message on 10 April requesting a refund for my physical card and toy.  I included a btc address.  That message, and a follow up today, have both gone ignored. 

There are some people who seem to have as one of their sole purposes in life to get scammed.

They must love it or something.

I have met people like this in my real life too, and they will frequently say that they cannot figure out why they keep getting scammed.    

You are off your nut mate. Dont give ANY bitc to basorexia until he makes this right. Have you read whats happened here? Look at his trust rating....

Thats a sad twist to this thread, sorry to read it went that way.   I really liked those cards, I advise just doing one card at a time and completing that before the next.    Alot of people are totally awful when it comes to handling cash and budgets, I dont know if malacious or not but monetary incompetence is common.

So what you want me to do? Can i get a refund or can i get the card?

I will like to order a 1000*1000 pixel digital card I need for a small project. Say hello on PM if I can write what I need.

Is there anything stopping you from outlining a tentative plan and timeline for your distribution of refunds.... even if you do not have the money right away, supposedly, you should be able to figure out some time to get your timeline in order and to communicate a somewhat reasonable plan.

Personally, I believe that no one should send you any more money until you have already completely dealt with all the refunds, either refunding everyone or getting a clear representation from the member that they do not want to receive a refund.  Of course, you might require that members have to communicate that they want a refund, especially in regards to the digital products, which would not be completely unreasonable, but given what doubts you have already created and even the questions about whether you had shipped any items or even whether you had actually acquired any supplies to make the product that you claimed to be making, it would likely be better to be completely upfront about how you intend to deal with everyone who had given you money including creating clear categories in regards to what will cause you to refund their money and the order in which you plan to issue such refunds, too.

Edit:  I noticed in the above post from teeGUMES that he is acknowledging receipt of what is presumably a complete refund, so I agree that is a good sign... It does seem a bit strange and problematic if you are ONLY planning to give refunds to members who publicly post about it...because that may end up blowing up in your face... Alternatively, I could appreciate a plan that sends refunds to members who post here first, and maybe even in the order that they are posted.. seems a bit random.. or maybe in the order that they had paid... but there should be some criteria to help to provide some confidence that you have an actual plan that you intend to follow.
