ebay stalker

Tuesday, September 26, 2006

ebay stalker! Not in the near past I had a run in with an unsavory individual. I put one of my eve online characters on ebay for sale, eventually I sold it for $700.00's. I've never sold an electronic only item on ebay before, I've had an account for 5+ years for both a paypal and a ebay score. It was paranoid because I've heard about fraud w/ electronic items and I've been burned on ebay in the past, so this guy wrote an echeck to me, he then wanted the item before the check was cleared. I told him that because of Fraud I was going to wait. I checked out his IP, I also sent him some mail with info etc to his mail account but, and he replied. I found it somewhat strange at the time when I checked his IP that he was connecting from an AOL dialup using an authenticated SMTP connection... but I figured if I sent him several emails and he replied he would be in control of the account. About 4 days passed and the e-check cleared, he had all positive ratings (but not a very high score). So I transferred the character to him, incurring the $20 shipping fee. Everything seemed to be going fine, then suddenly I got a paypal notice saying the funds were frozen pending an investigation of non-delivery/fraud from me. I tried to convince paypal that I did the right thing, showing my long illustrious past, and that this guy is now reversing the charges on about $4000's worth of eve-online equipment. But no luck. Immediately I contact eve-online giving eve my ebay transaction begging me to be punished for violating eve-online's no selling of characters rule. Eve responded quickly telling me that the account will never see the light of day again. (amazing... if there was actually a real problem I would have probably never gotten a response!) I then rushed (in the middle of work day) to the post office and sent a delivery confirmation/tracking letter with a printed out character sheet to the individual who bought the character from me. I then submitted the tracking number to paypal. About a day later they said that due to the tracking number, my great history they were reversing the charge and I was going to get my money. They also reversed all of the other transactions that this individual made as well. I immediately transferred out all of the money. (I was comparing notes with this girl on-line Angie in the UK as well, and she also transferred almost all of her money out as well) I then sold a few other things and also got the money for it. I had a $130.40 in the account when paypal froze the account again. The guy claimed he never received the letter. Paypal told me that since the letter I sent used delivery confirmation and not signature confirmation it would not be covered under paypal and I was liable for the entire amount (I didn't know). Luckily I had most of the money out, I tried to fight it but paypal was like a rock. I realized it was a impossible task, so I closed my bank account, changed my phone number back to 775-851-xxxx. Changed my email address back to the myrond@linux.com and gave up. Angie contacted me and told me thanks about closing her account as they attempted to withdraw from her bank account 7 days later and it failed because she closed her account. So a little time passes, and I get contacted by this guy who was evidently the guy running the scam w/ the hacked accounts. Read the email and enjoy! haxor ftw <haxor4tw@yahoo.com> [-- Autoview using w3m -dump '/tmp/mutt.html' --] Hi, My name is xxxxx:). I am the one who hacked you , i was the one who buyed that char from you , not that poor man xxxx xxxxxxxx . He was just one of my victims. And you of course . You receive what you deserve , you know that selling of isk/char for real money is a fraud. But in your stupidity you reported that char to CCP and ofc i got banned. I was in vacation and i didn't knew that, but now you will write them again to unban that account "xxxxxxx". I told them i have bought that char with 20 etc from you. If you will not proceed how i tell you , i will buy any all of your auction from you and i will give you NEGATIVE feedbacks. I will ruine your bussiness. If that account will not be unbanned you owe me xxxxxxxxx, wich you will buy and transfer to my account if xxxxxxx will not be unbanned. Be a wise man a do as i say. Thank you for your cooperation Anonim:) I'm guessing he doesn't care for me very much... What do you think? 1:27 AM - 3 Comments - 4 Kudos - Add Comment - Edit - Remove

	Jason	Well, he's likely in his late teens / early 20's and has low self-value. He's also foreign, or at least has English as a second language (I'd guess he's Italian). And yeah, he doesn't appear to care for you too much, you mean, mean person! =) I'd ignore it. I suppose you could report him to Paypal, but... Don't know how much good that'd do, huh? Of course, you could also put on your cape and white hat and crusade against all evildoers, using him as an example, and call yourself Myron the Magnificent!

	Amanda	Very creepy!! I'd just respond and point out all his spelling/grammatical errors and completely ignore the content. Tell him that you can't understand his message and that he'll have to rewrite it in proper English. Posted by Amanda on Tuesday, September 26, 2006 at 8:46 AM [Remove] [Reply to this]

Haha! That would be funny! And if you said it seriously and clearly enough, he'd be like, "Oh, mine English must no be so good. I write again!" =) Posted by Jason on Tuesday, September 26, 2006 at 9:11 AM [Remove] [Reply to this]

I asked a girl to dinner!

A few months ago I ran across this really nice girl. Very friendly and I immediately took to her personality. I did some support work w/ her over the phone and it turns out she has this SUPER great personality, very sweet nice and everything.

I'm one of those guys (and some of the people on here) well know, don't go and ask people on dates.

My sister says I'm totally blind to girls (and I might be to most of them!) but some people do catch my attention.

(if my sister reads this she will know, on both accounts)

Soo... A week (or two) ago something came up again and we ended up talking about this and that
for a while. I liked talking to her because... well I don't know, I just did.

(guess what she likes video games! ps2 is her favorite w/ the current game shes playing
Magna Carta), a RPG like Final Fantasy. And she was the one who brought that up! (not me).

Anyway, out of the blue this girl (who WILL remain nameless... as only one person knows who this
girl is, is Erica and lets keep it that way) sends me some pictures of her. Anyway I forwarded
the pictures to Erica and here is Erica's comment:

OHHH!!! she is cute!!!! I like her and her personality via photos!
The one with short black hair right.. xxxx? Neat spelling too!!

Yep that's right not only is she extremely nice, really nice personality, and she has this amazingly cute voice, and funny, she ends up being stunningly beautiful.

Now I was already thinking about if I could see her because I felt I'd have a good time w/ her because she seemed like a really fun neat person.

But now what; At this point if I asked her to see her in person she might think it was because now that I realize she's this very attractive girl (and I'm sure she knows too) that I'd ask to see her just because she is very pretty (which is NOT true!). I REALLY try hard not to judge people based on their outward appearance, but she really doesn't know that.

Well... I mulled it over and mulled it over, I also dropped the fact that I was going to be in (that was earlier) anchorage, but no response.

some of the items here MAY be wrong timewise but...

Well I did it, I was going to call her, but I decided to chicken out and I sent her an email instead on sunday notifying her that I was going to call her that I was going to be in anchorage monday - thursday. The big problem was I had a very tight schedule when I was in anchorage and not a lot of time,
and I didn't know my schedule.

And I did call her, but I got rejected (but nicely!!). I tried several times (I guess I'm persistent too) she said her Mom was in town and she had my email and would get back to me.

Never heard from her again.

Anyway I was hurt, I realize I shouldn't have been, but I did have some hopes and they were crushed completely! :P.

I completely misread her, she is just a really nice girl.

But on a lighter note; I had the GUTS to ask a girl on a date (although I didn't want to say it was one, and at the time I probably would be iffy about calling it that), but I did it! Although she will never know that she is now in one of the girls (which number less than the fingers on my hand) that I've ever asked to do anything with like that.

Evidently everything was completely in my mind but... hey!!! At least I have one! :P

Hip Hip Hooray for Myron!!!

And I had a GREAT time in anchorage, I ate out constantly some REALLY good food. (I think I like Anchorage better than Juneau btw!!!)

And how is THAT for a scattered blog?!!?!!!

	Varden	Sorry to hear things didn't work out with that girl, seems like she'd have been fun to hang out with. I'm kind of in the same boat as you in regards to being blind to girls -- way back when I was in college there was this girl who liked me but I was totally oblivious to it, in part because I didn't feel the same way (personality-wise she was great, but she had something of a weight issue). Looking back on it though, I feel like an idiot for not picking up on it a lot sooner than I did. Oh well, c'est la vie. Glad to hear you had a good time in Anchorage. I was just there last weekend for a Microsoft cert exam (which I just barely passed, but passed all the same), and I'll probably be going back again the end of September to take the last one. It's also good to know I'm not the only one who vastly prefers Anchorage to Juneau. ;-) Posted by Varden on Wednesday, August 30, 2006 at 9:01 PM

When I was in 1st and 2nd grade I was mean

Tuesday, August 08, 2006

When I was in 1st and 2nd grade I was mean This is another try at writing (true story) let me know how you think it goes When I was younger I was (kind of) held back a year (I went to kindergarten, first grade, pre-first, then first grade), I gather it was because I was immature and I truly didn't try very hard in school at that age. When I graduated (barely?) from kindergarten I went to a different elementary school for first grade. In addition I went into first grade about one or two months later because my Dad did not feel school was very important. (I lived in a trailer park btw, and before that I lived in a really bad trailer park in the worst neighbourhood around... of course I didn't realize this at the time). Because I never had very many friends growing up I had a hard time relating to other kids and did some very stupid things. I really wanted to have a friend at school. I just moved and I was in a different area and nobody from my old trailer park where I used to live went to the new elementary school. I found no matter what I did I could not get one. I do remember noticing some other losers who would pick on other kids and they got noticed a lot. People seemed to respect them and they had some friends who followed them around. These other kids also picked on other kids, so I walked up to them and asked them for a fight. For some strange reason I had several fights with different kids and I was very good at it, I managed to thrash them. I then ended up with a friend (kind of I guess). Then another one, pretty soon I had several friends. anyway one day I was looking around and there was Tyson he was a pretty tough kid too, but he was in kindergarten (and I was in 1st grade at the time). Anyway I asked him for a fight, and he said sure, so we walked away to get as far away from the duties as possible. And the next thing I remember is bowled over in the most atrocious pain ever. Tyson had punched me in the stomach, oh it hurt, I could hardly breath. I could not believe that Tyson could hit and hurt me so badly. After that I realized much more clearly that causing damage to others was not good. In the future after that I avoided confrontation as much as possible and attempted to be nice. Not too long after that I had my best friend Bran Polard and we would hang out and he was my best friend until fifth grade and we went to different schools. Choking and coughing and wanting to puke my guts out on the playground (as well as trying to get some oxygen) was a life changing event for me and I believe changed my life for the better (or maybe worse... you decide). 11:06 PM - 6 Comments - 4 Kudos - Add Comment - Edit - Remove

history of me (early years) writing assignment

Tuesday, August 08, 2006

History of me (early years) I'm different, but why? I invite you to figure out what is. This is a test in writing skills as well, if you like it I'll try some more true stories like this. So invite you to figure out why, if people find this interesting I'll do more of these. In 3rd grade I went to Auke Bay middle school and I discovered girls, actually I discovered just one her name was Janelle Petersen (or maybe it was Peterson?), it's been a long time. She was really nice and beautiful... and totally smart. She totally blew me away. I remember sitting in class constantly turning in my seat to look at her across the room. I'm betting people thought I was developing some new strange spinal disease as I had a chronic case of twist around. As it turns out evidently someone noticed me as I got assigned to a group w/ me Janelle, Janelle's friend and one other person who appears to have been lost in the sands of time. I was assigned to work on a project in the Hall and while we were working on it Janelle's friend said "Myron, do you like Janelle?" She said it in a completely teasing voice; "come on you can tell us". I clammed up completely didn't say a thing, however it appears that my guilt was showing as the color of my face changed to a shade of burgundy; and Janelle's friend was kind enough to make this aware to everyone else in the group just in case anyone there was blind. Janelle never teased me though. Probably because she was a nice lady. After that I was a lot more careful in letting other people notice. I cherished every moment of time w/ her, in 4th grade I wasn't in the same class but she still managed to rule my heart completely. The day of reckoning which got burned into my brain was in 5th grade, I was out at Recess and the Bell Rang; I was walking back to class with my hands in my coat pocket deep in thought when Janelle came right next to me and put her arm through my right arm between where my hands were in my pocket and the other part of the arm was attached to my shoulder. She was attached to me, she then looked right at me and in a very nice voice said, "Myron, do you like me?", I looked around in panic to see how many people were around to have fun at my expense. I didn't see anybody. But still I knew this had to be some trick as no way would someone as wonderful as her talk to me about my feelings. I grumbled no and put my head down, she then said "are you sure?" and she smiled at me. I panicked, something awful was going to happen I tried to get away but couldn't as she was attached to me so I started stomping around in circles with Janelle holding on me for dear life. I then started to spin and took my hands out of my pocket causing her to fall down and I took off at a sprint from her. I looked back for just a second to see her on the ground. Janelle came into class a little bit later and never looked at me. And I never looked at her. None of her friends mentioned the incident to me at all. And she never mentioned it to me (which was fine by me). I was really embarrassed at that point. Because I wanted to tell her that yes, I did like her but I never was able too. In retrospect Janelle never made fun of people and was always nice to everyone,so I don't believe she had anything malicious planned for me. To Janelle: Sorry. I'll do another one like this if people found it interesting, if not I'll toggle it to be seen just by me and try not to do myspace blogs like this one. The music is some strange stuff I ran across I hope it's fun! 9:55 AM - 10 Comments - 4 Kudos

	Jason	Well, you can't let past experiences drag you down (I know because I have too many stories like yours - I remember Jessica Estrada in 4th grade, Jill Wilson in 5th grade, Carolyn Seney in 6th grade...) But you learned something from it that you can apply to the life you're living now, right? Now you know that if a woman you like comes and puts her arm through yours, she's probably not going to make fun of you. =) Hang in there, though. Really. There's someone out there for you and you'll know when it happens. Posted by Jason on Tuesday, August 08, 2006 at 10:36 AM

	Myron	Thanks, so do you think it was well written (the blog?) should I try another one like this? Posted by Myron on Tuesday, August 08, 2006 at 11:36 AM

	Jason	Yeah, go for it! Posted by Jason on Tuesday, August 08, 2006 at 11:39 AM

	Amanda	I don't think there's anything wrong with you, Myron. Except for your pessimism about never being close to a woman! Never say never. If you close your mind to the idea then you're limiting your possibilities. There is someone special for you, but you might not find her for a while. Just don't ignore the signs! Of course, if it really bothers you that you haven't held hands or kissed then it's embarrassingly easy to lower your standards, go to Marlintini's, and hit on any of the drunk chicks. I wouldn't recommend it, though. :-) Posted by Amanda on Tuesday, August 08, 2006 at 11:54 AM

	Myron	Yeah nothing wrong w/ me! As far as pessimism maybe I am a little sometimes but I am generally optimistic though! I changed the blog and scratched that part out, pretty embarassing I am more interested in how well the story was delivered and if it was interesting at all I guess. Come to think about it, I wonder what ever happened to Janelle Peterson... I hope things worked out well for her, I haven't thought about her in forever. Maybe I'll do a search on myspace see if she exists still, I went to middle school w/ her at Marie Drake. I'll try and come up with something more interesting as well Posted by Myron on Tuesday, August 08, 2006 at 12:04 PM

	Amanda	I thought it was honest and direct. Well done! Posted by Amanda on Tuesday, August 08, 2006 at 2:26 PM

	Jason	Or at least not post real persons' phone numbers and addresses... ;) Posted by Jason on Tuesday, August 08, 2006 at 1:01 PM

	Myron	Okay, I'll remove the contact details (although I don't think anyone here knows that person... not even me). It's public knowledge though, amazing what one can find out in a minute (phone number, birth month/year, physical address etc). That information is irrelevant. Posted by Myron on Tuesday, August 08, 2006 at 1:42 PM

	Robert	Hey Myron I dont know if you remember me but I do remember you from Auke Bay. Janelle is still around here, married with a few kids. She still looks the same as she did in Doc Simons class. If I am not mistaken you came back for a short time in middle school and attended Floyd Dryden. The more years that pass the more people seem to be moving back to Juneau.

I don't... what is your last name, that might ring a bell, the picture is REALLY small so I don't recognize.. sorry. Posted by Myron on Monday, February 26, 2007 at 9:20 PM
