It is time to set the record straight. I am glad that Jeff got his money back, but I want to make it clear that I was NEVER retained by Jeff to write a letter or start a law suit against Damien Stone, even though Jeff bandied my name about repeatedly on this thread. I would have posted sooner, but I was out of town on business and had to catch up on the postings. I do not like being used by someone who fabricates a story that I have filed a law suit on his behalf for his own personal gain at my expense. Therefore, even if he had asked me to represent him in this matter, I would have declined.
Actually Howard when I posted that comment I was going to use you but decided to go with someone else. I was actually prepping the case so I could give you a summary via email which I would have sent if I went with you. Right after I knew i got conned I knew I would think about using you as we had done business before. I did call you on the phone to talk about the topic but when you disagreed on my way to do it I decided against it. I apoligize for not deleting the post as I forgot about it. Basically I was combating frequent responses in this thread. I was so frustrated with the case I had forgotten about that post.
Also: My talk with Howard
I was originally thinking about getting my $ back as having [Removed for personal reasons] out so I could get out of the mess. It was suggested that I don't do it as it could be fraud. I took the advice and decided to use other actions to get my money back. Otherwise I would have used him. I also am lucky for giving him a call otherwise I could have been in trouble. I was just frustrated and not actually sure how to approach getting my money back as this was the first time that I was conned for such a big amount. As a college student it is a large portion of my salary.
I apologize again. I have edited the post to reflect that.
Before others start jumping on me. I didn't do anything wrong. I have a right to choose a lawyer and just forgot to put the name of the person I finalized on. Howard is a great lawyer and I recommend him for escrow transactions as I've used him before. I'm lucky I'm getting my money back except $350. Alex would have been in serious trouble if my demands havent been met. I ended up using a family friend who is a lawyer. Unfortunately domains are not his field but he helped me with steps on how to get the $ back .
P.S. - other than Moniker I'd like to thank Mr. Deleted (the mod) and a few others who I won't mention in order to protect their identity. Apologies again to Howard.
Notice to others: Everything else in this thread holds true. That was the only thing that he pointed out that was an error. Please keep on topic as I have explained and apologized for the misunderstanding.
