Ruby Slippers Posted September 16, 2020 Posted September 16, 2020 I'd block this loser from every communication channel except email and let him know that. Tell him you'll mail back his stuff only once you get your money and stuff back, and don't contact you for any other reason. 1

Now he is asking to meet again, with no mention of the money. Totally unreliable. I haven't read the message, and don't intend to reply. I'm just annoyed that he thinks he can "test" the water after so many days. I am now struggling to remember his good bits! Can't you threaten small claims court? You don't want to be with him anymore. Play hardball. Tell him: "I have been thinking about this and have sought professional advice. You owe me close to a thousand dollars. The withdrawal from my account is obviously on record and I have three witnesses with impeccable records to testify that I told them at the time what I was doing with the money: giving it to you. There are also obviously records with your bank coinciding exactly with my testimony. You think I'm f*cking around. I'm not; I'm protecting my interests and my money. My attorney will take my case gratis as it is small claims and I'll owe nothing. However, if we win against you, she countersues for attorney fees. So you will owe me $900, will owe your lawyer's fees and will owe my lawyer her fees. You have 14 days to come up with MY money. After that, you and I don't speak. You will be getting a subpoena instead. That's all I have to say." Click. After that you answer NO phone calls or texts. Zero! No matter what. Let him be scared. He should be. Of course, it being a bluff (for now), know what you're talking about. Make sure of what laws actually are where you live. I had to do this once for my own reasons. He magically came up with the money. Sounds drastic and involved because it is but you CAN take him to court or at least see a lawyer gratis (consultations are often free) and have proof of that. NO MORE EFFING AROUND. If you have to write it all down and read it to him over the phone and he can tell you're reading so much the better. He'll know you're reading information in order to be exact and aboveboard. He'll shart. And probably hurry to fix this ridiculousness. [ETA: let me repeat that you MUST look up ALL these laws and the process for your own state if you'll be going this route. My quotation above was an example...the law suit I was looking into initiating was 20 years ago...I may be remembering some of it incorrectly.] I'm all loaded for bear now. Want me to do it? Kidding. Go get that money! Edited September 17, 2020 by CaliforniaGirl 1
ajequals Posted September 17, 2020 Posted September 17, 2020 An expensive lesson Remi. I feel sorry for you that you ran into this Tool for a lack of a better term
Crazelnut Posted September 17, 2020 Posted September 17, 2020 I agree with CaliforniaGirl except for 1 thing -- never day "giving it to you" or "gave it to you." Use the word LOANED instead.
