More information provided, and more will constantly be provided. Lawsuit and authorities being contacted on their way.
I will not cease for a single minute, for the next 50 years, to recover my entire money even if I spend 10x what I recover.
Waldohoover is ignoring me and this thread and going by as if nothing happened. This itself should prove that he scammed me.
Bitcoin is not a scammer heaven and you don't get to take money out of my family's pocket in this way.
I have personally got US passport and I will fight to have my money back! The only other opportunity is seeing you handcuffed, "waldo".
I am surprised only one person helped me... There are enough proofs that he scammed.
Did you ever receive the equipment and then sent it back? Or was it sent back by the shipping company? Why? Why does he say he has to verify the returned items before issuing a refund?
Why was the deal cancelled? What problems happened? Why did he blame to you?
This is the payment you made for the item, right? What exactly are the other 2 you list?
What fees exactly did he charge to you? Why? Did he refund anything at all? Is he asking you to wait even more in order to send the refund? What's his excuse? Or has he stopped any communication with you recently?
Please share the whole conversation as text. Right now there's not enough information, I think that's why this hasn't got more attention. Try to be as neutral as possible when explaining. If you blame 100% to him and post the messages out of context it's hard to believe you're telling all the truth. Give us the whole story and we will be able to help.
Yes, I was going to do it now. I was thinking whether or not do so because it is a very long conversation and possibly would get attention away due to its size.
I will answer right now your questions though.
I never received anything. Nothing ever left the United States.
I doubt, but cannot prove, that it even left his deposit.
Waldo was not able to send me due to brazilian laws. All the time I explained him that was not my fault nor his, while he was blaming me, charging fees and saying I cancelled for nothing.
Him saying he has to verify the stuff is just another of his absurds. I never touched anything, and he just wants to make up damages done by the shipping company although they never shipped anything. It is just another way of "stealing without stealing"
The deal was cancelled by him. He started to sell the products without contacting me, to other people. I was still trying to get them shipped. Days later I decided to cancel it too. Problems happened with brazilian totalitarian government, not waldo or me (once again, I told him all the time it was not his fault, but this behavior is not mutual)
He blamed because he made up I cancelled the deal (he did), and even if I had, he was supposed to send me the entire payment because according to california law you must state your refund policy prior to purchase and he told me nothing. I was nice enough to disregard mining revenue lost + btc price drop at the time + offered 0.16 btc out of good faith. I didn't have to offer anything but I did anyway. Waldo was not satisfied and wanted more and more. He first made up he had to check the pallet (still hasn't finished, 3 weeks and half later!!), then 15% restocking fee (s3 raised in price and he is selling at a $14 markup, profiting more), then he said he will also add "shipping fees" to the whole amount, this is all an attempt to give me back a small value (say 20% for example) of what I paid. As I said he wants to "steal without stealing"
As if all of that wasn't enough, he simply decided to stop stalling (4 weeks to send me a payment of 10 seconds) and decided to ignore my emails, sms, phone calls and private messages. My last contact with him was on friday 26th june morning through email where I gave him until night to contact me. He ignored me, and went on posting normally here. I was "patient" (more like stupid) and gave him the whole weekend to reply (he once went nuts because I tried to contact him on weekend), he still ignored me. I then started this thread today, which I should have done months ago.
That link you provided me is payment. Second link is payment for invoice + another s3 and 1 killawatt. Third payment is from him sending me 0.7 btc change.
He refunded me NOTHING so far. And now I have to hear my wife rightfully be mad at me all the time.
His excuse now is that he is awaiting for shipping company to provide the amount owed (that he will bill me for even though nothing happened!)... for 3 weeks and half.
Yes, antminer s3. I am sorry. Corrected.
As I said, I was thinking whether or not share EVERYTHING because I was afraid people would see so much information and be reluctant to participate. But you are right, I will provide everything, in a very neutral way. Not a single letter edited or anything.
There, I answered all your questions made now. I hope that helped. I am sorry for english not being my main language. You see, a few months ago I was very nice. I had a better job (got demoted recently), had nothing to worry (no family), good btc networth (now btc and altcoin price crashed). I just want my money, nothing else. I tried being nice all the time with this person to receive nothing but punch after punch for this. I am tired and want justice.
wlefever and ecuamobi thank you VERY much for helping me! Please feel free to ask any questions at all. I have NOTHING to hide, the same does not go to waldo. I will gladly provide any information necessary.
I highly appreciate yours and anyone else's help! This will not go unpunished and you all will witness justice being brought to bitcoin users. Time after time we face scam after scams. This has got to stop and I will do my best to protect this technology I love so much and also my precious son's fund.
I count with your help to prevent anyone else ever being scammed by waldohoover and go through the same thing I am going. I wish this to no man, not even to him.
I just want my money back. Everything I paid, now. Not 2 years from now and 6% what I paid, if anything. He says I am "spazzing out" (and other things too!) after kindly asking my money back after WEEKS. Do you see any business talking to clients like that? I have NEVER been treated like that.
