so today i sorta bitched out this lady and now her lawyer contacted me via email and told me this
"I just wanted to let you know that Megan commented me about your
comments. If you do not desist she's going to press charges against
you for harassment. This is your only warning."


here is everything that i said

Hello.

Some questions?

Why are you selling after only two weeks?

Does it have vista?

Other specs?

Thank you.

Megan

because i need the cash for a move inland.
and it is a 1530 not a 1330 so the price is going to be $1000

Perhaps, you should update your add to reflect the correct description and price, otherwise it looks like a "bait and switch."

Ohhhh, a tough guy.

Let’s see you are already guilty of the following:

False advertising.
Bait and switch.
Fraud.

You list something you don’t own for a price. Then you want to switch it out for something else and for additional cost. That is illegal. It is called fraud And, now you claim you aren’t going to sell it. Convenient. And, yes. I did report you.

Nice language. Your mother must be so proud of your large vocabulary. Maybe education isn't such a bad option after all . . . something to think about when you are sitting around and practicing all the ways you can use your limited vocabulary.

Something tells me that you are guilty of way more than "free speech" . .. just a gut feeling.

hahahaha if only my mommy wasnt such a non-stop cussing pill popping alcoholic! not all of us can have as perfect an upbringing as you.
and here a quick question. do you know me? no you do not. so how in the wide world of fuck would you know anything about my education? just a little bit of information for you to sit and ponder on, i have a full ride academic scholarship to CU so while you sit and cry about me needing an education, ill sit and laugh about how stupid and ignorant you are. get off your pedestal and realize that some people really ARE smarter than you.

haha are you accusing me of being a criminal? youre funny


(the bold was a lie )

I stand corrected, education cannot always cure the problem.

and the problem would be? now i dont even understand where you are coming from. are you too innocent to see certain letters arranged in different ways? are you easily offended? are you a prude? do you think im a destructive youth?

because your opinion affects me so much compared to people in real life...
so fuck you and dont get all high and mighty on me bitch



is any of this illegal? i have yet to respond back to her lawyer and im pretty sure im just excersising my rights to say/type anything that i fucking want.

It's immature, but I'm pretty sure it's legal. You're just as guilty of any crime as she is. Besides, yeah, first amendment.

It's probably just her pretending to be a lawyer. :p

Well, it's definiately not harrassment, she responded to everyone of your comments, if she didn't want you to e-mail her, all she had to do was stop replying to your e-mails, she kept it going, so you are in the clear, and it looks like she is running her own con, a personal attorney never contacts you telling of their clients intentions, by law they aren't even allowed to contact you, I would check out the lawyers references, and make sure it's a real lawyer, ask him if ex parte means anything to him, it's latin for "For one Party"

cant b bothered

Bait and switch is illegal here, but I don't think that is really an issue. With the rest of it, nothing at all wrong. Probably just didn't like some harsh truths.

Let's have a think here.
Have you entered into a contractual agreement with a seller to sell this item?
Have you entered into a contractual agreement with the website to sell this item to the highest bidder?

Harassment? Fuck off. If harassment was filed every time something like that happened - totse would no longer be hear. :D

There was no transaction, you can simply claim a misprint. You decided to keep the laptop anyway.

Just ignore the lawyer and the lady.
