<snipped conversation about playing a game>

[STEAM_0:1:14762581] 4/18/2011 [8:28 PM] [TGP] The_Thing: You get a response from your dispute yet?
[STEAM_0:0:27325272] 4/29/2011 [10:37 PM] Mitch: They said they can't do it, because I don't have any proof. I tried showing them, took a pic, and all of what happened, and they said it's not good enough. -_-
[STEAM_0:0:27325272] 4/29/2011 [10:37 PM] Mitch: But I just found a job, and I'm saving up for it.
[STEAM_0:1:14762581] 4/29/2011 [10:37 PM] [TGP] The_Thing: I see. Okay.

The last time this guy was online was October 11th, 2011 and then was never seen again. I never got my $100 back from this guy. Why? He failed to send $250 to my Paypal account properly because he was desperately needy. He was last seen online about 537 days ago since this pastebin was submitted, and now his account has been disabled probably due to fraudulent activity.

Lesson learned: Don't buy some internet strangers $100 worth of games if they haven't paid back anyone prior to your conversation. Whether he sent it to the wrong email or did it to piss you off, don't trust anyone.

I finished college with an Associates in Science, I now have a full-time job as an investigator and make enough money to take care of your debt that you failed to pay back PROPERLY, but you know, YOU STILL OWE ME $100!

So f*ck you, f*ck your games, and f*ck your account. You get desperate for a game, you tend to f*ck up. Next time if you find someone, tell yourself and the other person this: take your time, check your information thoroughly, and everything will go smoothly.

DON'T F*CK IT UP!
