- Hi,
- a while back I posted the Mark Dostie had ripped me off. It was a big
- misunderstanding and I apologize for my post.
-
- He was in the middle of a move and lost net access for a while. He has
- sent me my money and everything is cool.
-
- Obviously, it was a personal transaction between me and M.D. and his
- employer had absolutely nothing to do with it. I did not mean to imply
- any connection to his company.
-
-
- WHAT HAPPENED:
- -------------
-
- The first money order he sent never got here. So, he had to trace it
- and issue another one. However, he sent mail saying he should be able to
- cancel the first one and send a new money order by the end of the week.
-
- This is where the misunderstanding was. I took that to mean he would
- send the money order by the end of the week. He meant he "thought he
- could do it by the end of the week" but that I would not get the new MO
- until the first one was traced etc.. It turned out that the trace etc.
- took a while - however he did not inform me about that (though I guess
- he thought he did).
-
- To make matters worse, he lost net access after that (but I didn't
- know that). When I did not get any response for several weeks (over a
- month after the last e-mail), I assumed the worst and posted his name
- and address to the net. I did send mail to root on his system first but
- got no response.
-
- I apologize for the inconvenience and problems this has caused Mark
- Dostie and his employers. I also apologize for the strong wording in my
- post (ripped me off!). I really needed the money at the time (for my
- fees) and was very upset when I thought I had been taken - I know
- this is no excuse, but those were the circumstances.
-
- Apologies,
-
- Manoj Patel
