anyone know how to get a hold of this guy ? basically i bought this phone from him: http://zilvia.net/f/sale-items/298680-socal-lg-prada-phone-verizon.html under the assumption, which he verified, that it would merely take an esn swap on my part to get it operating on my number, and that it had a "clean" esn already so it should be a straight forward process. After calling Verizon and talking with them for over an hour and a half they told me that the esn for this phone was for an old Audiovox phone and that they could not activate it. So I asked him what was going on and he referred me to KStykle here on the forums who was the original owner of the phone. KStyle told me that I had to get a esn for the phone that would cost 50-80 so I told Jay to refund me for bullshitting. He agreed and I asked if I could receive a refund prior to shipping which he declined. Out of trust I sent the phone back with a tracking number and I haven't heard from him since despite regular pms to him. The first pm that I sent him to buy the phone was 3-12-10, it has now been nearly two months and I am still phoneless. Anyone else have trouble with him or know why he's dodging me? I want to believe that he truly was hospitalized, and if he is sorry for his troubles, but I'm sick of this shit right now i.e. being short eighty five and having no phone.
