I wasnt going to say anything but....
 

Im annoyed.
I picked something up for a YT member and sent it to them. All they had to do was just send me the lousy ten dollars (I think thats how much it was) and they never did. Didnt even question it. how could someone not pay for something that cost next to nothing. So I sent it out and she said the check is in the mail (yeah we've head this one before) but Im trusting and thought no problem. I trusted even more so because she claims shes a military wife. I put delivery conformation on it just to make sure they got it and they did. This person never as so much sent me a thanks they got it note and of course never sent the check in the mail they they said they were going to the post office that day to send. This was a few months ago.
If anyone wants to know who it is just PM me so you never do anything for this person again. I dont know if I can put a persons name or YT name out in the open so Im not.
Its not even about the money its about the fact that they didnt even acknowledge the fact that they received it or not even a thanks.
Guess its as much seller beware as it is buyer beware.
You know who you are.

Ok feeling better that I got to vent a little. Im so not a complainer and have been walked over in the past but still decided to trust a complete stranger and got burned.

I'm sorry this happened to you. It's too back people don't stick behind their word anymore, and even more so, it too bad we can't trust people who seem trustworthy.......

That Stinks!!! :(

Sorry that happened to you. You have tried to resolve it with this person, right? I just always err on the side of caution as I know how situations can sometimes not be what they appear.

And if you think I am ridiculously optimistic, we have been scammed two times in the last few months - once for $160 (typical scam) and once for $40(outrageous can't-believe-that-happened scam). Us, the careful, dot your i's and cross your t's people!! But we don't really spend too much time lamenting over it. Lessons learned, and we move on. The hubby and I actually joke about it.

Someone at work sent me a joke email that they thought would comfort me. It included "If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably a wise investment." I laughed and moved on. I understand your desire to warn others, but try not to spend too much energy on being angry. :)

That is a great quote. Chrissy - could you please PM me the info?

i owe someone here on Yt money and im suprised they havent butchered me lol!!!


im going to pay that back as soon as i get their paypal addy.

ooohhh ooohh pick me pick me. I can send it to you right now!!! :D

I pm them once.. no response. Im not doing it anymore

That's not right!! Sorry you had to go thru that. Take care, Chrissy and see you soon! :)

Are you coming in Tuesday?? I forget lol

wow..i am sorry hun..that's really shady of them..:(

I had this happen to me with someone who is a former member of YT.

I just chalked it up to a lack of character on their part and forgot about it.

I'm sorry it happened to you, too.

That's just wrong :thumbdown I was going to say maybe the check got lost in the mail but if you PMed them and they never responded, it sure sounds like they never sent payment. And they should have at least let you know they got it and said thankyou for picking it up for them.

I've had YT members get something for me and send it to me before. I always let them know I got it and tell them thankyou. And I can't even imagine not paying them for it :eek:

One thing that always worries me when I read threads like this though is that someone will send me something and I won't get it. And the person that sent it will think I"m rude because I didn't say anything about it...but I actually didn't know anything about it. Not that it relates to this thread..but more so from others I've seen where somebody sends a person a gift and never gets a thankyou. I just think..crap..I hope someone doesn't send me something one day and me not get it and then I look rude because I didn't say thanks :(

So THAT's the problem! Yeah, I sent you something and was wondering.........

J/K :p

I'm sorry about that! I hope they see this and then they pay

:eek: :p Seriously, if anyone ever sends me something and doesn't hear from me, PLEASE ask me

I'm sorry this happened!! I learned last month a tough lesson in YT too.... It didn't have anything to do with money, but I learned that not everyone here are great people. I swore to myself that I would NEVER come back because I was SO hurt, but I kept thinking about the "real" people I met here, and decided to put my pride aside, and come back...

All people cannot be trusted, but I really hope it doesn't affect your giving and caring spirit!! I'm still really hurt, but just trying to stay focused on the good people here at YT and thats what matters!!!

I'm sorry this happened to you after you were nice enough to pick something up for this person. I hope it works out.

Some people has to do something to retain their 10$ huh? For not paying 10$ your reputation is lost.

I don't think it's about her losing $10 at all (although you know..$10 is $10). It's about right and wrong and just good manners. How rude to ask someone to do you a favor by buying something for you and taking the time to ship it, and then not pay them or even say thankyou...that is incredibly rude :thumbdown Whoever did this ought to feel pretty ashamed of themselves. Like I said, it's not about money..it's about doing the right thing and having good manners. I'm sorry but this is just not acceptable :thumbdown I've done favors for YT members and have always gotten a thankyou. I've had favors done for me and I always say thankyou. You are supposed to say thankyou when someone goes out of their way for you.

:thumbup: I completely agree.

I think Prolinker meant that about the person that kept the money, not Chrissy. Saying she is ruining her reputation over $10.

I'm sorry this happened to you. I've been scammed and for me the worst part was it made me doubt the honesty of anyone asking for help. I've gotten over it but now I look at any money I lend as gone and if I do get it back...or if donated it goes where it's supposed to...it's a bonus. A little cynical but that way I'm not so disappointed.

I would like to know who please, what a cruddy thing to do

That awful...:mad:
I'm sorry this happened to you.
Hopefully they will pay you soon

I also thought perhaps the check got lost in the mail but you pm'ed and
still heard nothing!
Sorry you got burnt! It hurts I know beliving in someone then finding
out they are not what you thought they were!
We live and learn everyday.

Feel good knowing you did something for someone even though
they appriciate your thoughtfullness.

I think we tend to forget that just because members of YT for the most part are so awesome, that there are a few bad apples. I would like to know who this person is as well so I dont make the mistake of helping and and this happening to me. It really goes beyond the 10 bucks.

could not agree more!:thumbup:

That stinks. I could not imagine not paying for something I had someone pick up for me. What I have done in the past on small items I have picked up for people is just ask them to give a small donation to an animal charity next time they see one. But to say you are going to pay for it and not is just wrong.

I'm sorry you got burned by a yt'er that you trusted. I've gotten burned 3 times by yt'ers because I'm such a trusting soul. They all disappeared off YT, so I guess they felt shady by doing it.

I understand your upset. The least they could have done is thank you. I just couldn't sleep at night if I did that to people! Please pm me the name.

That stinks...unfortunately this isn't the first time I've heard of someone in this situation.
