I'm beginning to think this is a bunch of BS... I bet he never even paid for the procharger. I have never seen anyone dance around about getting their money back AFTER they have been fucked.

Show proof were you paid for the system! If you paid by Pay-Pal that means you have a bank account, with you being 16 your parents must be on your account so how do they not know about the money?

Sorry, I just call BS on this whole situation due to your lack of follow-up.

My Sister-In-Law is 16 and her parents had to be on the account... Maybe it depends on the bank?

Yep, I was starting to think the same thing, that someone is having fun leading us around by the nose.

Either way, I am way passed bored. If it's legit this guy is hopeless.

I don't think this kid was trying to screw with us...he's just too afraid to get his legal guardians involved to get 2600 dollars back...sure is an expensive lesson to learn.

If he does not have the ***** to persue this sorry piece of ****, Then he should not have asked for the help.

Is it a shame that this guy is going to get away with ******* this kid out of his money.

If someone will post up the new link I will ask the scum bag if I can come by and look at the kit just to see what he will say.

that not surprising....he stirred up a hornets nest asking for our help and has done little to nothing to take that help...but that's his choice...

If he wants to sit there and watch the guy get away, hoping that someone will come to his aide...he's sorely mistaken. Imagine if he wasn't a minor...

If you dont want your money back ill gladly go to his house, and beat his *** and make him think he owes me the money and get it from him, Im sure you wont mind. But honestly $2600 isnt pocket change, u shoulda had this **** under control from day 1.

If you paid by credit card dispute the charge. Since the item was never delivered and even pay pal sided with you they will refund your money.
