I gotta get PAID!

So. Long story short here. Back in 2004 I was the victim of internet fraud. *Word to the wise, if it sounds too good to be true - that means it's A FUCKING ripoff!* Anyway.

I like to go on eBay and look for deals. Good deals. No, to hell with that, I like to look for friggin' awesome deals. And many times, I come up ahead. Well, last year I was approached OUTSIDE of eBay w/regards to some bids I had put up for airline tickets. And I went with it. (Dumbass, I know.)

Apparently some guy in Dallas' identity was ripped off and then the guilty party used that identity to rip ME off. And let's face it, fuck that other guy - all he had was his identity stolen - I, on the other hand lost $700.

Exactly. SUCK!

So after a potential lawsuit was dropped (I dropped it against the identity theft victim), I was contacted by an attorney's office in Houston. It seems they had caught the shitheads who had stolen my money and had found out I was one of their victims. I filled out a questionnaire about my story and how it went down. Complete with e-mails and phone numbers. Then I never heard from them again.

Until yesterday.

Seems the thieves were convicted and SOME of the money was recovered. They sent me a letter requesting to verify my mailing address in order to send me a check. I don't think it'll be much (prolly around $50) but it's something. And with the holiday season coming up, every little bit helps (...me from having to work the 2nd job as much). Hehe.
