hello my wonderful beautiful friends welcome back to our slash pro revenge where you'll hear stories about people getting exactly what they deserve my friends guys i hope you're having a lovely day today and in this episode you'll hear two stories so the first story is a super satisfying story where opie gets back at a paypal scammer if you guys have ever been in a situation like this i promise promise you you will be all smiles the second story opie basically ruins a co-worker who takes office pranking to the point where she has to be taught a lesson my friends i do hope you enjoy the stories today and do hit that subscribe button if you're not subscribed already let's dive in so almost a couple of years ago i had a guy that emailed me back and forth for months looking to buy an arcade machine now he was pretty cool but picky beyond belief and couldn't decide on what he wanted finally though he ordered this ultra deluxe 4 player arcade machine wrapped in star wars graphics he spared no expense spending three thousand dollars plus 220 bucks shipping the machine arrives five days later and he calls me up just fuming it's been damaged by the freight company now i send everything fully insured so i assured him it was okay that he's covered i told him to please send me the pictures of the damage it was only very minor nothing cosmetic but the console was a little dislodged as they must have stacked something heavy on it i assured the customer it could be fixed i'll contract a cabinet maker to come out to him and repair it at my expense then i'll go through insurance later but nope he did not want that i told him okay i'll arrange for collection and have it brought back to me and i'll issue him a full refund including freight but nope he did not want that either i asked him what would make you happy then it's something easy to fix perhaps i can pay you what i'd pay the contractor above 250 bucks and you can fix it but no he wanted a full refund and he wanted to keep the machine too i told him uh that's not gonna happen insurance won't allow it as the damage is tiny it's like car insurance they won't write off a whole car for minor damages that can be fixed but he did not care he wanted a full refund i said they won't do it and i certainly will not pay out of pocket either i'll arrange for collection of the unit at my expense and issue a refund to him or we have it repaired once again he said no he paid through paypal and he's putting through a dispute because the item did not arrive as described i advised him that paypal's rules also state that in order to get a refund he'll need to show proof that he'd sent the item back or arranged with a sender to have it collected and again no he's keeping it and getting a refund so i advised him that what he was committing was fraud and theft and also that paypal will freeze the 3 200 bucks in my account and i'm not at fault here that's what paypal does you see if anybody lodges a dispute they automatically freeze the funds in the seller's account it's guilty until proven innocent with them it can also take up to 90 days to resolve sometimes six months i know because it's happened before the guy didn't care the next thing i knew i had a notification from paypal the funds were frozen pending the dispute the next step is stating your case to them providing evidence etc where they relay the info back and forth between the buyer and the seller paypal almost always sides with the buyer sellers as far as they're concerned are low life scum if it can't be resolved between the buyer and seller then you can opt to have paypal decide but their decision is absolute now i provided my transcripts advising the customer that i'd collect the item and refund him and he provided them with a fake pickup receipt as far as they knew he's done his parts and now he's eligible so they ruled in his favor so now this stupid idiot has his money back and my 3 000 arcade machine i was fuming and he wouldn't answer my calls or emails now i'm a big guy and had a rough upbringing in a tough neighborhood so i was about to jump in my truck drive the 900 kilometers south knock on his door and repossess my machine but my wife being the voice of reason calmed me down and said to try legal avenues first coincidentally he emails me three days later and says the computer in the machine stopped working i replied okay dude which planet do you live on where you steal an item then contact the person you stole it from and complain that it doesn't work he sends me an lol in return and says he has an i.t guy a few days after that i get a call from a guy saying that his friend bought an item and the hard drive is dead it was his i.t guy and i don't think he knew the whole story i asked him to find the serial number he reads the number out loud and i say oh it's in warranty send it back and i'll send a fresh new one he bought it and sent it back now note that he said the hard drive was dead and that's a good thing if it had been the computer he could just use anything else and use the hard drive as a backup but since it was dead and now that i had his computer too he has to buy a new system which would set him back at least 450 bucks but he still couldn't play games in it so the it guy calls me a few days later asking for the computer and i told him the story and that nope he can go pound sand he also laughed out loud and asked how hard could it possibly be to just download stuff see what he didn't know is that i have a little failsafe built in the encoder i used isn't mapped to the default keys on the apps i changed everything around on the hardware just to stop people from trying to clone it it's not hard to get around but most people are not familiar with the nuances of emulators inevitably i get another call a few days later from a different guy saying that he'd built his own machine but he couldn't get it working it was definitely the it guy fishing for solutions i played dumb and said that i don't know sorry so now the buyer basically has an empty useless cabinet so he left me a one star review that read something like poor build quality flimsy system doesn't work do not buy from these people i was about to jump in my truck again and drive down to him but again my wife is like a bucket of ice water to my fire so i wrote a long letter to paypal attaching all of my evidence of his fraud then i responded to the one star review with attachments to the emails and his admission to committing to fraud also i displayed his name and email address to smoke him out he immediately called and said look no hard feelings okay but i received a damaged item and i'm entitled to compensation remove my details he was getting spammed relentlessly but he seriously believed that he did nothing wrong i told him to go screw himself and to go enjoy his useless machine now i forgot about it for weeks paypal did not respond so i cut my losses and moved on but then something beautiful happened it's as though the universe aligned and said hey we're not gonna crap on you today here take this gift on a silver platter so i was on ebay looking for old non-working machines that i can buy and refurb and he has listed my machine but contrary to his review the description said marvelous hand-built arcade cabinet built by a master carpenter flawless finish and quality missing computer good for diy project he had listed it for 1100 that was still 1100 bucks of pure profit to him since he got it for free i bought it under my wife's account and had it delivered to my home address when i had sent it it was wrapped in about a four inch thick layer of bubble wrap when he sent it it had a flimsy single layer less than five millimeters thick the person who dropped it off was the same guy who picked up from me so we were good friends and he knew the story so i said i was gonna damage it make it look serious but nothing i can't fix in a few minutes he agreed and said that he logged the damage as due to insufficient packaging insurance won't cover it i knocked the panels out from the inside so it looked like the machine had been crushed realistically i only had to reset the screws and it was as good as new but it looked mangled then i sent the idiot the pictures and complained about the damage he said it was insured i advised him that the courier said it was insufficiently packaged and that it's not covered i told him i want a refund take this back now i knew that he would not take it back as it was totally useless to him he said he did not want it and he'll refund the freight i told him nope i can't do anything with a damaged machine if he doesn't do anything i'm filing a paypal dispute under the item not being as described now he wasn't happy he played the victim played on my sympathy still not realizing who i was eventually after offering me partial refunds and getting rejected he relented and told me to just keep it and he'd refund me in full he must have realized that his greed wasn't worth it and cost him nothing so now i had my machine back and i was happy with getting this over with but i was still pissed at this guy's audacity but meh that's not the end though it gets better and oh does it get deliciously better so someone at paypal business had finally read my complaint since i do a lot of work through paypal under a business account there's kind of a concierge service although not really it's kind of like a priority service they actually went through my complaints verified that his pickup docket was actually a year old and unrelated and read the transcripts of him intending to keep the machine and get a refund they refunded my money in full now i had my machine back and three thousand dollars of his money and he couldn't do anything because he got caught for fraud can't dispute it if you got caught being dishonest so this guy ends up calling me losing his mind i laughed and said sorry it's karma go suck a doorknob he pleaded and begged swore a lot pleaded some more and i said i'll think about it legally he has no leg to stand on what i did next though drove him absolutely crazy i took the money and donated it all to charity on his behalf i sent him the receipt and i swear he went ballistic but now there's kids with food and clothes because of him guys this has got to be one of the most satisfying stories that i've read in a long long time and honestly this isn't even revenge it's straight up justice i love nothing more than a good story about a scammer getting what they deserve and the fact that it ended so wholesomely wholesomely is that a word where opie donates the money to charity bravo sir bravo oh and he did post a picture of what the arcade machine looks like take a look at this how cool would it be to have one of these in your house so at the time i was a 27 year old seven year veteran at a large tech corporation the senior copywriter went on matt leave leaving a temp in her place although irritating in a non-descriptive way she presented well and seemed able to do her job for later context she was also an uber dog lover and a staunch and righteous vegan so at our workplace there were frequent mutual and innocent team pranks things like replacing a box of diet cookies with a box of krispy kremes or bringing in a box of krispy kremes but having a vegetable platter in the box or covering the laser on someone's mouth those kinds of things harmless things it was mostly stuff where you'd get a good laugh or be able to fix real quick and then get back to work being desperate for acceptance the new temp started taking things a bit far and seemed to focus pranks directly towards me since i was there the longest even after a few subtle reprimands from our manager she continued things like putting explicit photos or comments into a powerpoint presentation that i was about to give in front of a room full of executives her novelty wore off fast so fast forward to the morning after my birthday she knew that i was gonna be hungover so i get to my desk red-eyed and thirsty as hell i had a bottle of water at my desk and started to chug like it was gonna save my life and it was straight vodka at least two full swallows before i realized i go straight to the garbage bin to hurl i got most of the vodka out but already being hung over it made me instantly drunk again i was not impressed she came in laughing her brains out taking full claim now i did not knock on her but the story made its rounds to hr and she was given a stern warning i would have accepted an apology even remorse but not a shred in fact she began calling me pukey mcgee to literally nobody's fanfare i let it pass for a few weeks waiting for the attention to die down and then planned my revenge she always left at 10 am to get starbucks i took this time to plaster lost dog posters anywhere outside the office that she might stumble by on her way back now being an advent dog lover she fell for the bait asking around but nobody was the wiser once she was cozy at her desk i went to her car to stage a hit and run massacre with chunks of fatty steak a liter of fake blood an old leash and collar and a bag of fake fur i went to work it looked pretty convincing it looked like a leash was caught around her rear passenger axle and the dog got clogged and shredded between the tire and the wheel well i left the collar dangling out of the back with a generous puddle of fake blood it didn't take long before the others noticed the lost dog posters or the gory car and put two and two together eventually the owner of a white so and so with the license plate such and such please come to reception it's on and it was delicious she was out in the parking lot sobbing so hard that she was coughing carefully placing chunks of steak and fur into a box it took her about an hour to gather every precious bit and she was crying the entire time my theory was that she wanted to return the dog to its owner as best she could before calling the number on the poster now i want to remind you that there was no owner or dog but she was too distraught to realize that it was fake i thought for sure the lack of bones or guts would have been near instant giveaway but to my outer shock it wasn't she had the collar and leash cleaned and posted posters of her own in hopes of finding the owner given her reputation there wasn't much sympathy offered i took every chance i could to remind her that she took away somebody's beloved pet she took down all of her gaudy dog lover crap off her dows and kept very much to herself for the remainder of her term a bonus was that she even left early but not sure if i can take credit for that for certain my friends that revenge prank is stone cold so it's very rare that i feel bad for people in these revenge stories but when i read that she was crying so hard that she went into a coughing fit i couldn't help but to feel bad but hey she could have cost op his job twice once for slipping explicit photos into a powerpoint presentation in front of executives which is absolutely insane and the other time for making it seem like opie brought a bottle of vodka to work disguised as water i still have no idea how she didn't realize it was fake meat and blood though i mean yeah in the moment she might not have but opie said he used chunks of fatty steak and fake fur i can't imagine it being as convincing as he made it sound though but hey you never know you never know and now my friends brings us to another end of our slash pro revenge guys if you enjoyed the stories today too hit that thumbs up and if you missed the last episode of our slash pro revenge i'll
