alchico Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 PS -- The idea of converting the check into a cashiers' check PRIOR TO signing any documents is probably a good idea ... however, it would be MUCH more efficient to require the other guy to simply give you a cashiers' check. HOWEVER, if he does give you a cashiers' check, make sure it's drawn on a local bank; you may want to even call the bank that issued the cashier's check to make sure that it was issued by them. Nothing worse that getting a fake cashiers' check after having signed documents that you think absoluve you of risk and remove your profit opportunities... Good luck. Excellant idea, A friend of mine was given a cashiers check for a rather large gold purchase and before he could get to the bank to cash it the guy had cancelled it. Be verrrry verrrry carefull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spain Posted December 13, 2006 Author Share Posted December 13, 2006 No, his sorry ass is still alive. He just called me back and said that I can come by and get my check tonight. He said that I sounded "anxious or worried" about getting my money and he wanted to assure me that I would get it. I told him I just wanted to resolve this matter expeditiously and put it behind us. I am supposed to call him this evening to set up a time to come over. more to come... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spain Posted December 13, 2006 Author Share Posted December 13, 2006 Make sure you are packing heat when you go......... No need for that as this guy is big but he aint hard. This dude is a counselor, in other words a big Rosie O'Donnell. Lets face it, if you "counsel" people for a living you are 1. a nutbag yourself 2. the kid who got picked on all the time so you had to always try to talk your way out of things and 3. a jack ass. So, he will be having my Benjamins tonight. My other buddy is going over there to pick up the money so I might not even have to see him.

BeeR Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 (edited) Am I wrong? Only in giving that fat *** the benefit of the doubt for far too long. At the first hint of BS I would have "suggested" a full refund if he desired to continue existing (or to at least avoid as much legal trouble as you could throw his way).

At the first hint of BS I would have "suggested" a full refund if he desired to continue existing (or to at least avoid as much legal trouble as you could throw his way). Probably so. But this dude knows that I am the type of person that is capable of basically anything and I dont think he wants any issues with me at all. My buddy has told him stories about some of the stuff we have done. This big marshmellow is going to get out of my way. He assured me 2 or 3 times on the phone how he absolutely was going to pay me and that I shouldnt be worried. I dont care who has my money, I am worried about it. Thats just me. But especially a guy that hasnt been straight with me, I am not going to rest easy until I have my cash in hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spain Posted December 14, 2006 Author Share Posted December 14, 2006 Well, it aint quite over. My buddy didnt go by there last night as arranged because of a sick kid. He will get it from him today as I am headed out of town. More to come... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spain Posted December 15, 2006 Author Share Posted December 15, 2006 Well, first off, let me say that I have my money. But I had to actually threaten this dude to get it. If you can imagine me threatening a 6'9" inch dude! But he had tried to analyze me one time that we were all together as he found "my situation" really really astounding and extraordinary(his words). So he knows alot of my family history, and he is aware that I am probably not the type of person that would make idle threats and not follow through. Yes, he knows about my past, my older brother spending ages 13-18 in juvi/ward of the state; my step brother is currently Brushy Mountain right now for murder, my half brother Joe David is on parole, etc. And he is from Nashville and knows the area of town I grew up in, so yes, he is well aware that I might not be the guy to f*ck over. Let me go over the time line of this week. Monday I go back over to the condo developer offices and talk to the lady there. She says that they havent even submitted the "addendum" to the original contract that I signed yet. So, all she needs from me is an email stating that I dont want to be added to the original contract and that I relinquish any interest to condo #728. Tom and I both send her an email from our blackberrys, and copy the other dude. I leave him a voice mail at 4;00 pm Monday explaining what happened and ask when I can come get my $$. He doesnt return my call. Tuesday morning, I call Tom. He calls the other dude and goes over the same thing on his voice mail. Nothing happens. Tuesday afternoon, I sent him an email and leave him another vm on his cell phone. No response. I am now REALLY starting to wonder about this joker. If I owe you money, you dont have to come looking for me. But if you owe me money and I have to come looking for you, I am un-f'n happy camper. Wednesday morning I call his house and his cell and leave voice mail at both places. He calls me back and is very nice. Says as soon as he gets the documents from the condo folks he will write me a check. i tell him there are no documents but I will forward him the email I sent to the condo developer. He says he needs them to contact him. I say thats fine, I will call them and have them contact him and we will be over that night to get paid. He says he will be home all night, to just call him. I call the condo people and explain to them. The lady there sends me an email later in the day stating that she called this guy and emailed him that the addendum I signed was destroyed. So, I call him that night and leave him a couple voice mails. My friend Tom was supposed to go over there and get our money but had a sick kid. He tried to call the guy, but he never answered his phone anyway. He had assured me earlier that he would be home all night. Now I am one pissed off redneck! Thursday morning I leave him a voice mail saying that I want my money with sort of an ominous tone. I then send him an email telling him that he had promised to be at home all evening and he wasnt. I needed to hear from him asap. He calls me around 3:00. He says that he still hasnt received my email from the condo people. I tell him that I forwarded the entire email chain. He says he needs the email to come from the condo folks email address, you know, to protect him. I tell him that I gave him a check for $10k on a friendship handshake and here he is demanding some technicality bs. I tell him that is f'n insulting! Besides, I say that I am trying to get away from your sorry ass, not come back later and make a claim with you to be your partner. Plus, I have been trying to get this done all week and I am having to track him down. He says he has called me everyday this week! I come completely unglued as he is totally lying here. I thank God and bloody Jesus that I am in Memphis tonight because I dont know what I would have done but somebody would have been going to jail. He is lying and I call him on it. I tell him that he is a f'n liar and that he hasnt been returning my calls. He says he isnt going to argue with me about this. I tell him, you are god dam right we arent going to argue. You are a f'n liar and a cheat and I wont my f'n money. He then says that if I had done what he asked, that is, gotten the condo folks to forward this from their email, then I would have my money. He is now fueling the fire of an out of control unstable maniac. I then tell him, You are going to pay me TODAY, not tomorrow, not when you get an email from anybody, not some indeterminate time in the future, but today you will pay me my money or your life as you know it will be changed forever. I tell him that I am in Memphis, and he doesnt want me to get in my car and drive 3 hours just to handle this. He then says he will call the condo folks. I tell him not to bother because he better be calling the life insurance rep, cause his wife and kids are going to need it tomorrow if I dont have my god dam money. He is trying to calm me down, but I have a temper that is virtually uncontrollable. I am very calm and easy going, but once I get upset or angry, its hard to talk me down off the ledge. He is a counselor and is used to talking things out. But his lies have me completely off my nut. He realizes that I am unstable and promises to call me right back. I call Tom and tell him this is about to get very ugly. Tom, whose temper rivals my own, is also now very pumped up. when I am talking to Tom, the dude calls back. so, I take the call and he says that he spoke with the condo people and now has everything he needs and that I can come by anytime for my money. I tell him to go get a cashiers check and Tom will be by and get it at 6:00. he does and tom does. Tom says the guy wanted to talk it out with him but Tom was having none of it. Tom has my check which I will be cashing tomorrow when I get home. All is well that ends well.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
