Looks like there's a bit of a mix up on the paypal email address with TCM. I've emailed him and we'll get it resolved.

[Tcm9669]

Yes, you mixed up my email address.. I don't know who's that email is. Anyways I have emailed you back.

Thanks, waiting payment.

[Jeremy]

Ok, found what happened. After Cal813 received his payment, he created the account TCM6996 to claim credit for TCM9669's posts. He took the email I sent to him and swapped out the names and values before replying from this account to make it look legit.

Anyways, TCM9669 is in the clear and has been paid. I apologize for the hold up. I have banned Cal813 and filed a fraud report with paypal for both accounts he used.

[Jeremy]

Apparently I'm not the first to have problems with Cal813 Cal813 banned. . Shame on me for not doing my homework on this.

That's too bad too. He made great posts. He could really make some decent income if he'd stick to honest work.

[Tcm9669]

Well ok, scammer is found. And I have been paid. Thanks to the honest Admin

Cal813 asked me to post this.

I don't know where to start off right now...

I guess I should appologize to the forum, to Jeremy and TCM. I shouldn't have done, what I did do.. I knew at the moment I SHOULDN'T go that far.. but I did.. and I'm sorry about it. These last few months have been hard for me lately. There are things I wish I didn't have to do, but I can barley afford my small rental basement and food.

I noticed TCM and Latoya never visited and thought.. well mabye they have quit or left? So who would it hurt? I mean, it meant I could afford something extra to eat for dinner, or take the bus on another trip.

Trust me, I wouldn't have done, what I did, if I didn't think it was neccesary. I'm sorry about it, and honestly am.

Another reason why I did it was due to the some of the members. People like Jerlene have been pretty good with posting etc.. but guys like Moneytalkpro, TCM just came for the money. I didn't just come for the money, I enjoyed helping people. My posts come from w.e knowledge I have gotten through school, and yet I cna abrley afford my college tuition.

I don't have the money anymore, and I hope you can close the dispute ticket. I'm willing to work off the payment anyway you would like. Again, I'm sorry and I wasn't thinking properly. I was just thinking of what else I could use any money I could attain for extra food or what not. I don't have parents, just an aunt who tries to help me here and there.

Again, I'm willing to work the payment off. I would have stayed and made the forums active, but I didn't know if you would hire me? I guess it's a stupid move by me, I could have asked you and checked... I really feel bad and stupid at the moment. I can't believe I just impersonated a fellow member, who I posted with and cheated you and the forum.

I'm very sorry guys, hopefully there is something or someway I can gain my rep back. I know it won't be easy, but I'm honestly sorry about what happent, and am willing to do w.e it takes to make things right.

Sorry for all the issues etc.. I didn't want to end off or start off in a bad way. I really do like the forum and I just can't believe I took upon an action that could cost me a big loss, my PP account, my forum account here etc...

Again, I'm very sorry and I hope something can be done, if you wish to post this publicly, feel free to do so. I do want the members to know I messed up and that I'm wanting to get some respect back, however long or ways it takes me through.

Thanks for your time.

Sad sob story and all and I'd probably be willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, after doing a little more Googling, I found this thread **** I got burned [Archive] - WebHostingTalk Forums . Same guy, telling the same sob story since 2003. I've update the paypal complaint with the new data.

[Tcm9669]

Well as he said that I came for the money, well if I did come for the money then I wouldn't have forgotten this Competition.. so he actually out of point. Anyways now the important thing is that everything is settled.

Hi Jeremy. I emailed you back. I thought I PMed you too, but I guess I didn't. I'll PM you my pp address now.

[Jeremy]

Latoya has been paid now. That's everyone. Thanks for your participation in this.

Wow, sorry to see that happened. Even though I don't post here a lot, I'm still working on actively bringing in new members, whether there's a contest or not.
