Hello Pascal,
The brand of the external CDROM case is generic, and the
brand of the CDROM drive is Sony (52X). The colour of the box is silver,
and the colour of the CDROM drive is black (it was originally white, but
the drive came with a black face new).
Thanks,

Hello
Pascal,
Thanks for bidding on my Sony VAIO Picturebook micro laptop computer. I
will post the package via insured mail within 24 hours of receipt of
your (cleared) payment, but it would still take 5-7 week-days to reach
you... At least you won't be without a computer for too long! Since
bidding reached $500 or more (that is the amount that I was hoping to
sell the computer for), I will be including the USB CDROM drive with the
notebook for no extra charge.
Please fill out the online payment form from the auction page to find
out the total cost and to send me your postal address, and then
transfer- or deposit- the the total amount (item cost + postage cost +
optional postal insurance cost) into the following bank account:
Bank Branch Number (BSB): 036044
Bank Account Number (A/C): 179385
Account Name: 2Bit Devices
Bank Name: Westpac (known as Challenge in WA)
Note: If may have forgotten to add this to the payment form, but I am
offering optional postal insurance for a cost of $5 extra, which I would
recommend using.
Please send me a quick email after you've sent the payment. I will send
you a confirmation email once your payment has cleared...
Thanks,
- Brett
P.S. If you require the item(s) to be sent to an address that is
different from your eBay postal-address, please let me know so that I
can record the changes...

Dear Brett,
My wife is going to go to a westpac bank
monday morning and deposit the funds directly into your account, so they
should appear in your account straight away. Please send the goods (And
thank you also for the CDrom) as soon as possible. Unfortunately I cannot
stay without a PC for too long. I was going to ask you if could send with
next day delivery or overnight service, but I am not sure of the cost nor
if you can insure it this way. Please confirm the amount to send you:
AU$552 ($525bid+$22.5postage+$4.50insurance). Like I said I am willing to
pay a bit more for overnight service (About in the $20 more) but only if
it is insurable. When you go to post the goods if it is possible to do
overnight insured, then please do it and I will do an internet banking
transfer for the surplus of postage cost. (Do not worry I will pay you, I
do not want negative feedback as I have100% feedback, and I like my
feedback). Have a nice weekend.
Best regards,
Pascal
Hello Pascal,
Australia Post does offer an "Express" (i.e. overnight)
delivery service however most of WA and NT are out of the "Express Post
Network"... Express Post would cost around $100, so in my opinion it's not
worth using for parcels (it is very useful for letters etc though at
around $5-$10 per article). The funds should appear in the bank account
during Monday, and if so I will mail the Sony VAIO Picturebook on the same
day (I will pack it all tomorrow/Sunday)...
I will also leave you positive feedback on eBay after your
payment arrives on Monday.
Thanks again,
- Brett
Hello Brett,
Thanks do not worry then. May be with a bit of
luck I will receive before the weekend.
Best regards,
Pascal

Hello Brett,
So far I did not received the laptop, my wife
has cancelled her trip till later this week.
Did you post the item on Tuesday?
Best regards,
Pascal
Hi Pascal,
I certainly did and it should be there around about now. If
not, I would say definitely within 1-2 days max because it usually takes
5-10 days for this sort of thing.
If you need me to chase down the tracking code for your
parcel please let me know.
Thanks again,
- Brett
Hello Brett,
Yes please provide me with the tracking code.
My wife (Not very patient) has been bugging me ever since Thursday about
the laptop. If I can tell her where it is, may be she'll stop.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Pascal
Hello Brett,
So far no luck, and my wife does not stop
asking me where is this laptop?
Do you have some tracking info, so I can check
where this puppy is.
Best regards,
Pascal
Hello Pascal,
The package was mailed on Wednesday morning, 8-Dec via registered and
insured surface mail. I am expecting it to be there any time now - I
would say that it will arrive within the next couple of days or so... I
am still waiting for a $185 eBay item that was mailed from country NSW
over two weeks ago (I find it a little annoying), so I would say that we
are on track assuming that the package will arrive very soon from now.
Please let me know when you have it.
From your request, I will pop into the post office tomorrow morning and
will copy down the tracking code from my account for you, so that I can
email it to you later in the day (when I am home).
Please let me know if there is anything else that you want me to
retrieve while I am at the PO...
Thanks again,
- Brett

Hello,
I will certainly let you know when the package
arrive, whenever you are at the post office, please ask them if they can
track the item. Checking the item specification on ebay once again, I
noticed that you are no longer registered on ebay. I have to say right now
this is not boosting my confidence.
Best regards,
Pascal
Hello Pascal,
I will do. Yes eBay blocked my account because the
incorrectly thought that my account was "associated with another account".
I can forward you the emails if you don't believe this. It is pathetic as
my positive record was growing very quickly. I will get back to you later
today about the package.

Hello Brett,
Yes I know what you mean, this happen when
they suspect you of bidding on your own item to create + feedback as a
seller. Unfortunately right now, I am bit confused myself as your bank is
in Perth, you are apparently in Broome, the item seems to be in Fitzroy.
At this stage I'd like you to send me your address, full name, and explain
what exactly "2bit devices" is. If you would be in my position, I am sure
you would feel a bit suspicious and confused right now. You said item was
posted Tuesday, then Wednesday, I am not accusing you of anything, but
please give me some information and make me feel good about all this.
Best regards,
Pascal
Hello Pascal,
Yes my bank account was originally from Perth but I am in
Broome at the moment for work reasons. For some reason eBay automatically
registers my post code (6725) as Fitzroy WA which is relatively very
nearby to Broome (it is in the centre of the northern-most geographical
region in WA where as Broome is in the Western part of that region), for
my auctions. 2Bitdevices is simply the name of a business bank account.
Yes the package was going to be mailed on Tuesday, but was
mailed first thing Wednesday morning instead because I simply didn't have
time to make it to the post office by 5pm on Tuesday. Not sure whether you
need anything else - yes I understand that you are a little worried
because of eBay blocking my account but that doesn't effect my remaining
buying and selling transactions. As I mentioned, I am still waiting for a
few items that I have won and payed for via eBay from almost two weeks ago
from now or so.
Thanks,
- Brett
Hello Brett,
If you read your email below
(REFERRING
TO ONE OF THE MESSAGE ABOVE), you are saying that the
package was sent 8 Dec via registered and insured surface mail, the 8 Dec
was yesterday or did you mean the 2 Dec? I can understand that instead of
sending Tuesday 1st you sent Wednesday 2nd - it has happened to me too,
that I am late in shipping an item. What I cannot understand is why you
keep telling me you are going to send me some tracking information and you
never do. I am waiting everyday anxiously for the postman, and nothing is
coming. My wife keeps asking me where is the laptop, and there is not much
I can tell her. I have retrieved some of you information from ebay, and
here is what I have:
Name: Ben K Mac
Company:
City: Broome
State/Territory: Western Australia
Country: Australia
Phone: 080891926885
Company:
City: Broome
State/Territory: Western Australia
Country: Australia
Phone: 080891926885
If your name is Brett, how come you registered to Ben,
I suppose the phone does not work either.
I have to say, and may be I am being paranoiac about
all this, but certainly nothing is looking in your favor right now. So
before I continue my investigation, I will give you a chance to refund me
the money.
If I ever get the laptop, I will re transfer you the
money by internet banking, $552 plus I will add another $10 so you can buy
yourself some beers down the pub, and I will provide a full apology, and
if your ebay ID is re-instated, I will also leave positive feedback plus a
note that shipping is slow from WA. If by Monday I have not received the
refund I will continue deeper in the investigation and report this
transaction to the police, your bank, your ISP, ASIC, ebay, and WA
department of justice, which I have already downloaded the form. Like I
said I am may be I am being paranoiac about this but nothing is looking in
your favor, you have to understand my position, you are not giving me any
information such as proof of postage, $552 is a large sum of money for us,
if we were rich we would have bought a brand new laptop, this represent
quite a few months of savings for my wife. Right now I did not need this
as I am already stressed about something else, this is just too much. Like
I said I am an honest person, I always pay for my items, you should have
my real phone number. If I receive this laptop I will definitely credit
your account within 24 hours, for now you have to make me feel better
about this, and really the only way would be either to refund the money by
the end of the week, or send proof of postage plus driver's license ID.
Here is the account you should credit:
Pascal De Gaillande
BANK:
St George bank
BSB: 112-879
ACC:
REMOVED FOR SECURITY REASON
I am really sorry about that, but if by Monday you have
not satisfied my demands, I will have no other alternative than to report
you.
Regards,
Pascal

Hi Pascal,Sorry, I meant to say 2-Dec, I replied to your message just after I got up this morning (3am for me)... My telephone number is indeed 9192-6885 and my name is Brett, however I registered as Ben because eBay did the exact same thing (i.e. blocking my account after a few months for false reasons) to me earlier this year.If you must take a temporary refund for now that is fine - I can obviously trust that you would re-transfer the money back into my bank account once the laptop arrives (there isn't any reason why it shouldn't do). I will refund the money to you TODAY and will email you a screen shot of the refund receipt as proof of payment.I havn't retrieved the tracking codes yet because I have so many, and I need to ask the post office specifically for the code of your package, which is surprisingly tricky.If there is anything else you need, please let me know.Thanks again,- Brett
Dear Brett,
According to Australia post, the parcel should
have put in between 4-6 Business day, considering its Christmas, I would
suppose there would be some delay. But if by next Wednesday it is not
here, it would mean 2 weeks have past, I can understand such transaction
would be longer in between Broome and some country location, but Broome to
Sydney, I find it a bit hard to believe, if you have sent this parcel, I
would recommend you to start looking in to it as from Monday. Today I have
again waited anxiously and nothing yet. As soon as I receive the parcel I
will send you again the money, provided I receive it first, plus I will
add the $10 more for the drinks and an apology. Do not worry I will pay
you, after all I am the one registered on ebay with my real name, my real
address, and 100% feedback mostly from sellers and over 120 transactions.
If ever this ends up positively, I am also willing to help you if you
need any references for the ebay issue you are having. If you really want
to use ebay in the future, I am suggesting you come clean with all
these name and address issue. But for now I am still on my guard so long
the money has not clear.
Best regards,
Pascal

Please send me a confirmation email once you have received
the temporary refund - again this only takes 1-2 days max, so the funds
will clear either today or on Monday.

Hello,
Today no laptop, no money.
If you have sent it like you say you did, I
just do not understand why wouldn't you go to the post office to check it.
So far all of this does not look to good to
me. The minimum you should have done is go to the post office and try to
track it down. I understand there is no point in going to the post office,
if you did not sent it at the first place. The more I look into it the
more fishy it looks to me, you are really not trying to help me.

Hello Pascal,
I understand that my account-blocked-status does not give a
good sign however I feel a little uncomfortable myself at the moment,
because the funds have left my account for your temporary refund, and I am
worrying about the computer all the time now.
I went to the post office this afternoon to file a search
for the article. I am very busy at work at the moment - I start work at
8am and finish at 6pm and do not receive a lunch break... as you can see,
it is surprisingly difficult for me to get to places like post offices and
banks, who open and close within the hours that I work.
I will be at the post office again on Monday to follow up
on the search. Please inform me when the refund has cleared - if not
tonight, it would be either Monday morning or Monday night at the very
latest, basing this on previous transfer timing.
If there is anything else that you would like to confirm
please let me know. All I wanted to do was sell a computer and I don't
want you to run into any further doubts. If you would like my home address
and telephone number, let me know.
Thanks,
- Brett
Hello Brett,
May be this is just a big misunderstanding,
but put yourself in my position. We sent you $552 for an item, we should
have received this week or at last today, I did told you as well that I
needed it urgently, the deal was, we were going to do a direct deposit so
you could check on Monday afternoon and send the item later in the
afternoon, you had agreed to this, you even told me you would pack it on
Sunday and send it Monday when the money would have shown in your account.
In the main time I find out that you are no longer registered on ebay, I
find out that you are not using your real name on Ebay, I find out the
address is a bit dodgy, I found out the bank I sent you the money to, is
not even in the same city as you live, and I do not know what 2bit devices
exactly is apart from a business name. I found out that you sent the item
on Wednesday, though before you told me you sent on Tuesday. But come on
wouldn't you be a little suspicious if you were me. I understand the hours
you work do not leave you the time for this type of things, I always
thought it was not a good system, specially for banks, post offices. I
also understand you might be concern for the PC, BUT if you have sent it
INSURED, like I have repeated you to do in my emails, you have nothing to
worry about especially if it is registered, now if you worry about me not
paying you if I receive the laptop, again you have nothing to worry about,
but for now I have not got the temp refund, it does not show in my account
yet, somehow to me it looks like the same story as the laptop. In the main
time, I am the one coping it from my wife...she is going overseas in a
week now, so hopefully I'll get the bloody thing, and this story will
end...I was lucky she did not go when she was supposed to, I would have
been left without a pc for over a week.
So in theory, the money should show in my
account by Monday Midnight, if not this would be just too many
coincidences, and I will get the Police involved as of Tuesday, because I
have wasted too much time on this already. So if you have not sent the
refund yet, I would suggest you do so right now. You say you are feeling a
bit uncomfortable right now, I feel uncomfortable since a few days already
because I did not receive what I paid for.
So yes, I want more than your address, I
want a copy of your driver's license, it should not be a problem if you
are so genuine and have nothing to be alarmed about, I also want to know
what you do for a living if you do not mind.

Pascal

Hello Pascal,
Well there shouldn't be a problem because the money has
already left my account (Friday) in regards to it appearing by Monday
night... It seems as though you are implying that I am here to rip you off
because of my de-registration from eBay, which I assure you is totally
incorrect. I have always had a good eBay record (you can still check this)
and all that happened was an account suspension because of an initial
misunderstanding between me and eBay earlier this year (the most recent
one was my third account in total). Yes the parcel was insured but I have
been through the claims process before, and it is a 5-month nightmare to
get anything back from Australia Post... And I remember that I ended up
only receiving HALF of my money back because they said that I couldn't
prove that the parcel got damaged DURING postage and not AFTER... I don't
feel too comfortable sending out information such as my drivers license or
etc through emails because I read a story on the eBay forums about
someone's bank details and name being stolen and used to set up and pay
for fees on eBay, because eBay runs an automatic/manditory fee deduction
system via client's bank accounts.
In the mean time please let me know if you have further
queries... Also, please inform me when your temporary refund transfer has
cleared.
Thanks,
- Brett Mcken
Dear Brett,
I will wait for the refund. So far nothing as
of saturday afternoon.
If the funds have left your account, I can see
no reason why I should not receive them by Monday night.
If I receive the laptop Monday or any day
after that, I will wait the fund to clear then send them again plus $10.
I will apologize. End of the story. On the
other hand if you do not receive the laptop or the refund by tuesday, it
is going to get complicated for me and a lot more complicated for you.
So far you have made nothing to re assure me.
Best regards,
Pascal

Dear Brett,
I am trying hard to get a little bit of faith
in you right now. As soon as I get the refund I will certainly let you
know.
For now I just want to forget about this until
Monday night. I already had a fight with my wife because of this
transaction, I just want to get her money back, until I receive the
laptop. This transaction is turning out to be the worst I have ever
experienced, so far you really did not help me getting to trust you at
all. On the receipt you sent me, I noticed that the payment was submitted
the 9/12 and payment date is 10/12 which leads me to believe that this
could have been a scheduled payment that you could have stopped after. So
really I think I have given you plenty of chances, but I am sorry to say,
that if by Tuesday morning the refund is not in the account, they will not
be much you can do or say to make me believe that you are not trying to
scam me. You understand that if the money has left your account it cannot
be going missing, there is no way (I am not that stupid), If I do not
receive the money by Tuesday morning it means you are just wasting my
time, and you are stealing my money. For $552, there is no way I am going
to let it go, I will do everything I can to get it back. I already have
been in touch with Zuicider one of your unhappy customer, and he told me a
lot about you. I think I have been very patient with you, but hopefully it
is ending Tuesday morning.

Pascal

Hello Pascal,
Your money will be there at midnight or so Monday and the
computer itself SHOULD be there very soon too. No of course money can't go
missing through a funds transfer - the only waiting period is a day or two
where the banks like to play with the money.
You keep saying that I havn't done anything to give you
trust etc but what do you want me to do? I have already given you a
temporary refund and have already answered most of your queries regarding
my eBay account block etc. I don't know if there is anything else that
I could give you other than those things.
- Brett
Dear Brett,
I log on so many time into the account to see
if the money has arrived, I actually know my card by heart now.
Nothing so far as of Sunday. I am glad you
acknowledged the money cannot go missing. From experience as well, I know
that the account to account transfer takes 2 business days maximum when
done online, it just does not exist three business day or four or
whatever, by law it is 2 days max, then the bank have to let it go, my
mother has been a banker for over 25 years, so believe me I know about
banks. I am not going to speculate anymore and waste my time and your
time, and patiently wait until midnight Monday. I expect you to go to the
post office Monday to track the parcel, if it is registered, then each
time the parcel has left a delivery center, it should have been scanned.
The post office should know exactly where it was last before going missing
if it did. Again they cannot say, they can't know, because these bar code
serve this purpose, I am not going to explain how the post office work
either.
So far I must say, you did not honor most of
the deal.
1. You did not sent me the tracking
information as you said you would in your auction.
2. You did not sent me proof of postage like I
asked.
3. You did not sent me a scan or picture of
your driver's license like I asked.
To gain my trust you could have sent the
1. ebay's emails, you told me about. You did
not.
2. You could have sent a picture of your bank
statement showing the money actually left (You could easily have masked
with a paint program, all the other information that does not concern me).
You did not
3. You could have tell me more about yourself,
such as your job, your full address, 2bit devices. You did not
4. You also failed to comment on "Zuicider",
what he told me about you and all the info he gave me, it's really what I
did not want to hear or learn.
I mean there are many things you could have
done, you did not. So lets see Monday Night.
What else can I say. Wouldn't you'd be
suspicious if you were me? Come on.
Also like I told you, my wife and I are in a
very delicate situation right now financially, we have another big
problem, which I will not disclose, but this problem might cause us to
lose something we have both worked very hard for. I am unemployed right
now and we have three kids to look after, when we both agreed the laptop
was going to be handy because she is flying next Saturday to try and
resolve this problem I am talking about, she gave me the green light to
bid on it, and we really thought very hard about this purchase, I mean
really, with this problem, we really did not need to be scammed at this
stage. My wife is so piss of about it, and when I told her we might have
been scammed, her exact word were "I really don't need this right now".
Even thought we are not running on gold right now, we are HONEST people.
On the account where you sent me the money I have only $400 (I have no
problem in showing the statement if you would like), it is the reason why
I told you I could not pay you for the laptop if the fund you sent me did
not clear before. Even though I am broke myself, I do not try to scam
people on ebay or anywhere else, I could easily if I wanted too. But I am
an honest man, I am a man of my word, and I really cannot understand the
state of mind of people who try to scam other people, and profit by
deceiving people and constantly lying to them.
So may be because I am currently unemployed I
am being paranoiac about this, but so far you have not been of great help
to me. So I repeat myself again, I might not be rich, but I am far from
being an idiot, If by Monday night the money has not cleared, it is as
clear as water what is happening.
Regards,
Pascal
Brett,
So far no money, I am having a hard time
trying to believe I will ever receive it before tonight.
Be a man, and admit you are stealing my wife's
money. If not go to your bank and do a direct deposit into my account. And
It will all be over. If not I will make sure the police arrest you, and I
will sue you to recover my wife's $552. If you are intelligent enough, you
should know that you could loose a lot more than $552. In order to recover
for the money, the state might seize any of your belonging, including you
house (If you own it). As of tomorrow, I am contacting all the
authorities, I will also make sure you never trade on ebay anymore. You
have wasted a lot of my time, you have lied to me, you have cause pain to
my wife and myself, and a lot of stress we did not need now.
Do the right thing, once in your life, and it
will be over. I am not expecting the laptop anymore, I know you did not
send it.
regards,
Pascal

Hello Pascal,
I am not very please with what you are saying about me but
either way, I promise that I DID refund your money when I said I did and
it will be in your account midnight tonight. Please inform me once the
funds have cleared tonight or early in the morning.
Thank you,

Brett,
I would be glad to apologize, when I receive
the money, but so far I am already building a case against you.
Tomorrow I will start to send all those emails
I am writing right now. You have no shame.

Brett,
Postman came : NO LAPTOP
Bank Checked: NO MONEY
Not only you are stealing from us, you are
humiliating me.
Pascal
Pascal,
We have been through this and I am telling you that your
refund will appear either early this morning or late tonight. WHY are you
so quick to jump to the conclusion that I am scamming you when I have
already refunded your money??? If it hasn't turned up early this morning,
then it HAS to at mid-night or so tonight.
Brett
Brett,
It is 5:43pm Monday night, I find it hard to
believe the money has not cleared by now. And I have very little faith
right it will. Do you take pleasure in this? Here is the phone number of
FITZROY CROSSING POLICE 08 9191 5000.
Give me a good reason why I should not call
them tomorrow. All I asked you was my money back, I know you never sent
the laptop, you probably did not have it either. Why don't you come clean,
do you prefer jail for $552. Perhaps other have let it go, but actually I
won't, this is too much money. By midnight if the money is not in there,
tomorrow I will call the police of Fitzroy and have an investigation
opened, believe me I did not want this to happen, but you really pushed my
buttons. If I would have received my money, this would have been the end
of the story...but you have just asked for it to continue so it will. Like
I said you never gave me proof of anything, no proof of postage, no ID, no
bank statement, nothing. YOU ARE SCAMMING me. And I had enough of it.

Money is not in the account at 11:43, so if
you are not scamming me, then I am the queen of England.
Any of your pathetic excuse?

Hello Pascal,
Okay then let's cut the crap. You are correct when you said
that I could have just "scheduled" the refund payment without actually
paying it because I canceled the payment about half a day after I
scheduled it. You are also correct in saying that I could not provide you
with a registered post number, because the computer was not sent by
registered post, even though I stated that it would be. However you are
incorrect about saying that this whole this was a scam to start with,
because the computer DOES exist (I can take as many photos as you like, of
any section that you like, as proof), and I DID mail it off to you within
a few days of the auction's end. The computer was delivered to the local
post office on 2-Dec and was mailed via standard parcel post (I have the
Australia Post receipt here which I can photograph if you like as proof).
Since nothing has turned up at your end in the form of a
parcel, and since I lied to you about the registration and the refund
(because I was simply waiting for an un-insured parcel to reach you), and
since you are threatening legal action, I am prepared to refund your money
immediately however you wish - e.g. with a screenshot of my online bank
statement or with a photograph of a cheque or money order. On top of the
immediate refund I am prepared to pay you $600, where the extra amount is
some sought of compensation for your wasted time.
In the end I will still be left with no computer and with a
possible lost parcel, which was my fault.
Thank you,
- Brett

Hello again Pascal,
As a third email, I will offer a third option - I will
drive to the nearest St George branch and will issue your refund via cash
payed directly into your bank account, at a teller. This way there is no
waiting game - your money will appear almost instantly as available funds.
I can do this tomorrow (i.e. Tue).
Thanks ,
- Brett
Brett,
It is all I have been asking, when it's done
email me, I will check, if it is there, if it is indeed there end of the
story.
I do not need you to send me $600, I just want
my wife's $552.

Hello Pascal,
I am going to find out where the nearest St George bank is
right now online, and will be there today to make the direct cash deposit
of $600.
Thanks,
- Brett
Brett,
I'll be waiting...
Pascal
Brett,
How about you do it online, send me the
receipt, with payment date of today (Not Schedule), then a picture of your
account showing it has gone, Tomorrow should be in my account. End of the
story.

I am re reading your email and I quote "because

section that you like, as proof),"
Now just like I said, wasn't this computer supposed to be
mailed to me. You never did sent it.
And I am still waiting for the money...

Hello Pascal,
I enquired about St Georges Bank branches in northern
Western Australia and found that there aren't any located up here, so
after a few phone calls, I have had a business contact down in Perth
deposit $600 into your bank account via deposit slip (not online transfer)
at the St Georges Retail Banking Centre in the centre of Perth (by
coincedence, which is on St Georges Terrace), between 4:00pm and 5:00pm
this afternoon (WA time which is currently 3 hours behind the east
coast...). I will try to have the deposit slip scanned (in Perth) and
emailed to me, where I would then forward the picture to you. I don't know
how quickly the banks process deposit slips but I assume either at the end
of each day (similar to Westpac ATM deposits), or on the spot (similar to
Westpac teller deposits).
Thanks,
- Brett
Brett,
For now it is 10pm here and it should be 7pm
in WA, I checked in my account, and there is no money. So to me it looks
like the bullshit continues, but not for long now. Direct deposit appear
straight away in your account, not in a week or 15 years. You tried to
come clean, then you get even dirtier. You make me laugh now, you can't
refund the $552 I am asking for, and now you attempting $600. Really, you
must think I am idiot, well you will see who will laugh the last one very
soon.

Dear Pascal,
I just contacted the person who was to do this yesterday
afternoon (at 4:00/5:00pm) and it turns out that he has not yet done it,
because of time constraints (which is fair enough). I was under the
impression that it would be done, sorry if I mislead you there.
Like I said yesterday morning, there will be no more
bullshit or lies.- It is Tuesday night now and so I want to get this
matter resolved promptly i.e. by Wednesday, no further, as this is getting
silly.
There are simply two things that I can do - I can have the
funds direct deposited into your bank in Perth most likely at midday, or I
can simply transfer the funds at daytime online via internet banking (NOT
scheduled) and send you a screen image of the statement afterwards - not
very hard.
Please inform me preferably early in the morning (as much
before midday as possible) which process you wish for me to do. If you
can't get back to me by midday then I will only be able to perform the
second process (online transfer with statement image).

Dear Pascal,
If possible could you let me know by mid-morning because I
will be at work from 11am this morning and I would like to have this
situation finalised before then if possible. Otherwise I will just get it
done later this morning or this arvo (I can check my email at one of the
computers at Carline) or whenever I hear from you, you will have the funds
today do not worry about that.

while I am at work this arvo:
Brett
0400-744-256
If I don't answer please leave a message or a text and I
will return it asap.
Thanks,

Brett,
Have the funds deposited directly in my
account. it should be done by 5pm my time. If not try method 2.
Right now I am sure you would not be too keen
in having the POLICE come and mingle in your little business.
There are some people very angry at you, and
you scammed them for a lot less than me. Like I said all I want is my
wife's money - END OF THE STORY - For your sake do not push your luck too
far right now, cause you getting very close to the border.
Pascal
Brett,
No money in the account at 12:48 my time.

Hello Pascal,
I received your email this morning and as I mentioned will
have the money direct deposited at midday today in WA (if not, via
internet transfer with the appropriate screen shots)... I think that WA is
either two or three hours behind the east coast at the moment (not sure if
your state has daylight saving or not).
- Brett
Brett,
Your so called contact did not send the money,
so I think now it is time for you to do an internet transfer.
Really if you want to settle this, it is now
or never, I am getting a bit sick of these game right now. The POLICE is
only a phone call away, and I am really keen on calling them now.

Hi Pascal,
Okay no worries, but I am at work right now as I mentioned
and won't be home until about 5:30pm. I can do the transfer here at work
easily, but I wouldn't be able to save screen shot a copy and save it here
because of security limits on these PCs... If you still want me to do it
now, let me know, otherwise I will do it when I get home.
- Brett
Brett,
Do it when you get back home then...I will
wait, I mean I have been waiting for weeks now for an invisible laptop, or
an invisible refund, I am sure I can handle a few hours...
Pascal
Brett,
If you are not cooperating you will go down
for this. That is a promess.
Pascal
AND THAT IS HOW THE STORY WENT AND AFTER THE 15/12 NO MORE EMAIL FROM HIM, I DID TRY TO SEND HIM MORE EMAILS BUT HE NEVER REPLIED TO ME.
