I'm confident that we will get our money back from my recent conversations with Adam.
--------------------
Shane Soule
Agreed. He admits that he screwed up. Also, I don't know why Adam's not answering the questions that were asked previously, but he has answered those questions in personal phone conversations with me, so here's what he said:
quote:
What did you use the money for?
He blew it, plain and simple. He didn't think he would have to save it in his PayPal account and you'll see why in the last question...
quote:
How much money total are we talking about?
Somewhere in the neighborhood of $2,000
quote:
Did you ever have the equipment in stock?
Not really. Here's the deal: Adam had a distributor that was clearing out their entire inventory at "way too good to be true" prices, so he figured he could make a return on them by posting balls for sale here on the BR forum and having those items ship straight from that distributor to our doors. Of course, Adam was on the road, so this should have worked out well for him. So, he accepted payments in his paypal account and would place the order through his distributor. Problem is that the prices WERE too good to be true as his distributor went "belly-up". In the meantime, Adam had spent our money that was in his PayPal account and was unable to refund...
Adam made 2 very poor decisions in this process:
#1: He didn't hold on to the money in his PayPal account. He ASSUMED everything was worked out. Bad choice.
#2: For some reason, he was never HONEST about what happened, and made himself look like a crook in the process, thus destroying his reputation. I don't know why he didn't just tell us all what happened... Who knows, this story he fed me could all just be bullsh*t anyway, but it sounds feasible.
Either way, he now has DECISION #3 in front of him. I have a feeling that the third time is a charm and Adam will make the right choice.

Seriously, I have known Adam for a long time and he did exactly as he said. He relied on a too good to be true deal that fell through and counted his chickens before the eggs hatched. I know Adam and I am confident he is paying everyone back as he says. That is why he is still here and many people forget how long he has been on this site. He's not a fly by night new user.

It's not an attitude. It is a fact. I have not threatened anyone with anything but facts. He has commited fraud. Plain and simple. It was a scam and there should be no excuses. Besides restitution he should be prosecuted and held responsible for his actions. Paying everyone back is not taking total responsibility. Why do you call it an attitude. I am in law enforcement and have charged many people with fraud. This fraud happens to be over the internet and could possilby be considered a federal crime.
---------------------
Reighmey,
Please do as you think you can or must. As a fellow law enforcement official, I can assure you that this particular case would never see a court simply because you have to show intent to defraud or harm another and Adam can show where his source went "belly-up" on him. Technically, it would see a civil court room before it would ever see a criminal proceeding. If he had intent to defraud which is the basis here, he would not be here posting and paying people back. Now, I have have worked hand in hand with fedral officials for years and I can assure you, your interpretation of a federal crime here is incorrect. Now, does this mean Adam is getting away with anything? No. But there is no way you can show he intended to defraud anyone.

Yup. The ball is first quality, 2-3" pin, still sitting NIB in my room, just begging to be drilled. I have done two transactions with Adam, and even though they may have taken a little longer than normal, everything worked out fine, and I personally would probably do business with him again.

Although I'm glad he's cleaning up his mess, he has proven to be unreliable as a seller... Not to mention that he was lying about this whole thing until we had our feet on his throat. Once I threatened him with the personal information I had about him, he sure was quick to take action! Anyway, that's the last I will say about it.
I reccomend that anyone who has never done business with Adam to NEVER attempt it. That's the least he deserves for this scam.
