This is not going down until I receive the rest of my money. Reported By: Adelski Username: syntaxcoma Name: j. v. Aliases: lithiumrobot@hotmail.com Email: lithiumrobot@hotmail.com Aliases: lithiumrobot@hotmail.com Address: Oshkosh, Wisconsin Status: active Created: April 22, 2008 at 12:44pm (EDT) Edited: April 22, 2008 at 12:45pm (EDT) paid the guy $10 thru Paypal for a Game Cube controller on March 3rd. He turned around and asked me for more money ... i said no, please refund my payment. No Refund. No Controller. Its April 22, paypal also wouldn't refund my payment. WHY IS HE STILL HERE? making gtz look pretty bad .... lotta complaints lately. Reported By: closetQueen Response from Accused "Bad Trader": May 3, 2008 at 3:46pm (EDT) You have a Paypal claim that was already approved. It will be about a month before there will be sufficient funds in my Paypal account to cover that claim. So, you can either wait for that, or you can cancel the Paypal claim, and I will send you a $10 money order immediately. I won't pay you twice, which is what it would be if I sent you a $10 money order, and you got an additional $10 from my Paypal account once I put sufficient funds into my account. Let me know as I would like to get this resolved asap. Username: syntaxcoma Name: j. v. Aliases: Jason Wabiszewski Email: lithiumrobot@hotmail.com Aliases: ryookyn@hotmail.com Address: 503 N. Main St. Apt D, Oshkosh WI 54901 Status: active Created: March 29, 2008 at 12:42am (EDT) Edited: August 27, 2008 at 10:06pm (EDT) On February 18, we agreed he would receive a loan of $95, and would repay $104.50 to me within a month (on or around March 18th). When the repayment deadline passed, I sent him a reminder messages, to which he responded: Hello. I am currently without internet as I broke things off with my ex-fiancee and am staying on a friends couch. Would you prefer a money order or Paypal? Let me know, and I can get this to you.. unless you see anything on my list you're interested in.. or my old topic in general marketplace.. thanks again I responded that a money order would be fine and asked him to let me know when he got it out, to which I received no response. On Wednesday, March 26, Pyramid_Party, who was worried about his pending trade with syntaxcoma, sent me the following message: Hey I noticed he hasnt paid back his loan that he took out yet. I actually bought a few things from him around that time and still havent received it. I see he has alot of pending trades and soem of them are pretty pricey, and some are from way back. Im not sure what to think of him, he claimed to have sent a long time ago when i asked him. Thenlike 2 weeks passed, i asked him again, and he said he didnt send yet that he would be soon. So even more time has passed and he sent me a trade message like a week ago saying his internet has problems and hes at a library and is gonna send. I have seen him logging in frequently, and i havent received. So i dont know whats going on, he woes alot of people and hasnt completed any trades. I dont know if hes trying to scam or whats going on. What do you think, and has he told you anything in regards to the loan you made him? The stories syntaxcoma told Pyramid_Party were different than the story I received, and so I began to be a bit suspicious. I looked at syntaxcoma's pending trades, and while he has received on several of them, not a single one of his trade partners have marked their end as received, which increased my suspicion. Since I was approached by Pyramid_Party, I have sent reminder messages to syntaxcoma over the past three days, still with no response. He has logged into the site every day, and has not responded to any of the messages I have sent. I think that perhaps the stories he told to Pyramid_Party and myself was just a line he was feeding us to buy more time to abscond with our moneys and other people's goods. I have filed a paypal dispute, and am filing this BTR so nobody else will get ripped off. Jason, if you aren't trying to rip anyone off, then I apologize for this BTR, but a lack of communication when specifically asked several times, especially when you frequently access the site, is not something I take lightly. UPDATE 3/29 Since filing this BTR, I have been contacted by darktangerine, who gave me the following message: Just to let you know, you & Pyramid are not the first ones he has been messing with. I had a trade that he took over 2 weeks to send after receiving. He kept giving excuses like "I purposed to my girlfriend and we're now engaged" and "had a meeting with a lawyer". This was at the beginning of March that he was giving excuses. So if it wasn't for me threatening to file a BTR then, I'd probably be filing one right now. It wasn't just this month that he started giving lame excuses. I contacted chicorunsfunny, who had knocked his ratings down, which he got the same thing(delays and excuses). So he's been doing this for months. So it looks like syntaxcoma has a bad habit of delaying and trying to buy more time, but apparently he may eventually come through. I sincerely hope he does, as I do not want to keep this BTR up indefinitely. I will gladly take this BTR down when I am paid the agreed upon $104.50 (after paypal fees, if you choose to send it that way). UPDATE 3/30 syntaxcoma has said he is having some financial problems and we have worked out a repayment schedule. As a good faith gesture, I am therefore removing this BTR for now unless he fails to follow through with our agreed repayment schedule. UPDATE 5/15 Received one payment from syntaxcoma, then he said he sent another, which never came. Then he said he would like to hold off on sending the remaining payments until he had the full amount due to USPS money order fees. I agreed on the condition that he stay in regular contact with me. He said he would be without internet until the 12th. I sent him a message on the 11th and asked him to give me an update, and it's been 3 days since then and he hasn't been on the site since the 5th. So, in view of this I'm reposting this BTR and will take it down only when the full amount is repaid. UPDATE 8/27 Haven't heard a peep out of him since the last time. I'm guessing he's gone for good.

	monkbonk says: Syntax began extended trade negotitations on two occasions and tapered off with no response. Shipping was quite pathetic considering the negotiated amount.
	syntaxcoma responds: I feel these ratings are very unfair. I took a little longer to ship, but was very courteous with you. I was very respectful and honest in responding to you in our trade. i don't see where the courtesy rating comes from..
