Anyone know anything about this guy? I sent him paypal on tuesday and he hasn't even signed up yet. Getting worried... hasn't answered PM's either

This guy is pissing me off now. I sent him $75 to do 3 sites. He did 2 sites (still yellow) and did not sign up for the other. I PM'ed. He hasn't even read it.

I think I have his AIM screen name in my PMs, I'll try and find it real quick.
Edit--Found it, playaskillz27

I was doing some trades with him a while ago, 2 for $50, but one fell through and I got refunded. It was simply taking too long and he kept saying he would do it but nothing would get done
Anyway I think he's a good guy but just busy

lol, that wont matter, freepay isnt verifying PS3 accounts. So you wont know if its a good green for another few months.

he had a little delay with signing up with me because of something that hapened with his family member but he signed up for me as soon as he could get back on and was green within a couple hours of going yellow. hopefully nothing has happened and i'm sure he'll be back.

At the end of November, I set up trades for the (then only) 5 TRAINN sites with him. We agreed to only do 2 at first to be safe, and then the other 3 after. I paid him for the first 2 up front , he signed up on 3 of them ( ? ) and not much progress has happened since. We've been PMing back and forth every once in a while, with him saying various things, mostly he had school and was really busy. I'm starting to lose faith now... I sent him a PM Wednesday which he did read, but never responded to. He keeps insisting he will go green and he will do my sites but it keeps getting pushed out further and further.
d3athtonic
15-01-2006 23:08:40
He's yellow on 2 outta 3 of my sites. He's sitting at yellow for almost 2 weeks now. I don't think he even completed the offers. We should just get a refund. I'm going to PM a mod after a few more days.

I paypaled him for my freepay 360 site on december 26th and he said this when I asked him to let me know when and what offer he did "4 sho, it will either be today or tommorow but it will be an instant offer soo dont trip." I am still waiting and losing faith as well. I'm really getting pissed off. I know he's reading my pm's and choosing to ignore them. I want my money back.
Well as Aurelius said,its a family problem,which is the reason i've been gone from here for so long.My mom has been in the hospitol for quite some time now and everyday I go there at about 1200 and stay and watch tv and eat lunch and dinner with her sometimes even stay the night.To all you people waiting on me I'm extremly sorry,but every since skewl started up Ive been having to wake up at about 600 am to get my little sisters ready for school then after that i have to go to school then on my lunch break I go see my mom and sneak her some some In and Out burger.Then I come home pick up my little sisters do my homework and try to help my sisters with theres then we all go to the hosiptol and stay with my mom for dinner.
As you can see I've been extremly busy,no where in that equation states me having any time at all to do this stuff.My mom is coming home this friday though,and I would really apreciate some of your guys patience,but others such as d3athtonic,who actually said that hes in no rush,is trying to fuckin make me look bad now,thats pretty fucked dude,but hey cant blame you that is alot of money and once again Im sorry everyone.

Yes I said I wasn't in a rush. That does not mean I can sit here and wait for 2 weeks especially when you don't respond to my PM. If you were to reply my PM and explain your situation, I can understand it and give you more time. We're talkin about money ($75) here. It's irresponsible to set up a trade, take my hard earned money and disappear for a while.
Daggoth
16-01-2006 11:29:22
On Jan's behalf, he is a wonderful trader. He has always done trades with me and refunded me if he did not have time.
When a family crisis occurs, you really need to give a guy his space. For God's Sakes, his mother is in the hospital! Would you be online refunding people when your mom is in the hospital?! You guys really need to get off his back for a while.
d3athtonic
16-01-2006 11:49:22
I understand bad times like these are unavoidable but a promise is a promise especially when money is concerned. I can give some space to Jan but I cannot fully trust him including the ordeal he claims to be going through.
Anyways, I'd like to APOLOGIZE to Jan. Hope you accept my apology.
I want a refund for premiumipods.freepay. As for flashipods4free and ipodnanos.freepay, if you want to do it, do it this week, otherwise, I want a refund for those sites too.

Thanks for the understanding guys, once again im extremely sorry for, the wait I know how you feel,but you guys have to understand from my side of the road.
Thanks guys, and your trades will be completed very soon.

OK I have no problem with a person delaying things when times are rough, but I have to wonder when the person keeps people on hold this long. I've PM'd him with no response, although he's read the pm's. Tough times or no, if you've been paid by a person and haven't even signed up to their site yet, I think a refund request is totally appropriate, especially when you're needing your very last green for a site.
Anyone else have thoughts? I'm curious is there's been progress made on anyone else's end?
Hey, well I have some wonderful news,my mom is out the hospital and at home!She seems to be doing fine so far,but she will probaly be bed written for another week or so,so im still taking care of her.I also have a problem now that I havent been home very often I dont have any cash in my epassporte account because i didnt have time to cancel my offers and its overcharged now.And all the money I had in my paypal account went towards a piece of my moms hospital stay,and I also bought her a hdtv for her room since she loves watching movies,and seeing that she will be in bed alot now i got her one.
So that completely leaves me broke in my paypal account and epassporte account,but no worries because Im transferring some cash from my bank over to my paypal so I can start completing these sites for all you that are waiting on me.
Thanks,once again Im sorry and I will get to all of your guys sites once the money is transferred to my paypal account,I appreaciate the patience.

Again jan, didn't mean to cause any trouble by posting here and am glad to hear your mom is doing better.

He has alot of friends. He has done multiple sites for me multiple times. No Reds. I can vouch for him on this one. Collige, I have traded with this guy 5 or more times, sometimes for the same site, he does not go red for me.

JAN---CAN YOU PLEASE DO MY GREEN ASAP--I AM IN A HUGE RUSH.
I've PM'ed a few times and sent my paypal a few days ago---I am in bids for one more green. Once thats green, I will only be waiting for you. I would like to submit for approval ASAP so please complete my offer.
I really hate to rush you and I send my condolences to you, your mother and your family. I know times are rough and there are priorities, but I would've said don't worry about it and traded with someone else if you told me it was going to take you some time. I will include your family in my prayers for you as well. Good vibes from Jersey....
I didn't want to be rude, especially with your situation. I am just really anxious to complete my first ever freebie site! And to get another TR point.
Thanks man---

jan has not "abandoned the forums"--he was here two days ago.
I strongly advise you all not to file PayPal complaints at this point. I have PMed jan to ask whether he can commit to a deadline by which he will have completed an offer or have sent PayPal to those of you he still owes. He will be expected to provide proof.
If he proves unable to meet his own deadline, by all means, do what is necessary to recover what you're owed. But the guy is going through some rough times. There isn't much to lose by giving him a few days. What if he comes through for everyone, only to find out that his PayPal account is on hold?

Well, yes. But I'm suggesting that you give jan a few days to respond before you file your complaint.
I understand everyone's frustration, and I agree that he shouldn't have established trades if he didn't have the time or resources to complete them. But I think that there is more to lose than gain at this point by filing complaints against him. He hasn't been out of contact for an extended period of time. He has come through for others in the past. My guess is that he will come through again this time.
If he doesn't respond with a clear plan to complete each of his trades by Monday, I will be the first in line to take action against him.
Bildo818
03-02-2006 13:39:59
well, I went ahead and filed a complaint (sorry, it was before your post KeithA) if I cancel, and he doesn't meet his deadline, will I be able to file another one or will that just look shady in paypals eyes?
I really don't even want to continue the trade. Everyone I have traded with, its been great communication, easy trading process w/ no problems.

I had 2 trades set up with Jan - he signed up for one 5 days after I PayPal'd him and though I've asked on 3 separate PMs what offer he completed he won't respond and actually tell me. He's read all the PMs and still isn't green.
I canceled the other trade after he still hadn't signed up [bca9e8a7116]11 days[/bca9e8a7116] after receiving payment. Requested deletion of the trade and asked Jan for my money back for that trade via PM. He reads the PMs but won't reply and answer my questions....no sign of a refund either. Will be filing a Paypal complaint.
I understand he may be having some troubles at home but still I just wonder why he has time to read the PMs but won't respond for days, or sometimes not at all. ?

There is NO explaination for you trying to set up a trade with me when you have all these outstanding trades and also at the same point that you are engrossed in your "homework and projects", but you have time to send me a pm asking for me to paypal you money for a site?

Here's my story
I paid him $20, he signed up on ipodnanos.thefreeproject and completed an offer. I requested approval and he got dq'd - I PM'd him and asked him why, he said "Oh must have been because I did an offer I had done before, I didn't know you couldn't do that..." (draw your own conclusions)
I gave him my referral link for another site I was working on and he said he'd do an offer there. He never signed up for it though.
At this point I'd just like my $20 back and I think I'm entitled to that.
EDIT oh by the way, after he dq'd and before he agreed to do another site (which he never did), he told me he'd sign up again on nanos.thefreeproject with a different name, IP, credit card number, etc. I told him I didn't feel comfortable with that.

Looks like his ref for my PS3 will go south when it hits the approval stage??? Should I get another to cover his? That will make one for cash4cookies, one for asadmalik87, and one for Jan. What do you think?
