Tickets not paid for!!
I was looing to get some input from the Nation on how to address this issue. Back in October I was going to be unable to attend a Cat game and offered them for sale here. I got a pm and arranged to meet the buyer after my kids game in Billings. I waited about 45 minutes after our scheduled time and he wrote me a check and I game him the tickets. I get a call on Monday or Tuesday of the next week saying that he wrote the check out of a closed account and asked me not to deposit the check and he would send me a check out of the new account. The original check was written on October 22, 2010 and as of todayJanuary 24, 2011. I have not received the replacement check. I have left a couple of messages on his cell phone, PM'ed him back, left a message on his home answering machine and mailed a note with my address to him.
My question to the Nation is what would you do? I don't need the money but the fact that he has not made an effort to get a hold of me, bothers me. If he had called as said times are tough I can't pay you I probably would have said forget about it, but to be blown off like this kind of pisses me off.

Your a pretty big guy, I wouldn't think breaking a couple thumbs would be too tough.

Re: Tickets not paid for!!
Have not got paid yet. I am going to contact him once more and then maybe I will out him on the Nation so no one else gets burned. I would hate to bother the County Attorney's office over such a small amount. The ones I know are busy as hell will real criminals.blgscats wrote:Did you ever get paid?

Don't let this distract you from the fact that the griz blew a 22-0 lead.

Let us know who it was! I have had to get rid of tickets in the past and pondered asking on here but for this reason I have not. I am sure 99% of the people on here would honor there comitment but I would like to know that 1% that doesn't.

Re: Tickets not paid for!!
Whenever I do bidness with the nation, I tend to make sure the person is a regular poster, how long they have been a member, post count, etc. I did the season ticket package with rutgerscat, and I was nervous since he had about 1 post if I remember correctly. I messaged rtb and made sure the guy was legit, and it worked out perfectly. Sorry you got burned, but unfortunately hat is the nature of the internet sometimes.Cats15 wrote:Let us know who it was!

Re: Tickets not paid for!!
The check came in the mail yesterdy with an note appologizing for losing the info and then finding it. Therefore I will not out him. Maybe he saw the thread maybe he did not but the appology meant more than the check.
