Nebraska Book Company

The world of internet scams has hit home for me...again.

This time it's the Nebraska Book Company/Tyson Motsinger scam. It goes like this:

NBC buys a book off a third-party seller--mostly textbooks--and sometimes as soon as three days later demands a refund. The way amazon is set up, the seller is responsible for all books and if they do not give a refund they are kicked off of amazon. NBC does not return books unless the seller sends NBC a certain amount by paypal, and often still does not return the book.

There is no proof of what they do with these supposedly damaged or missing books, but they own 27 textbook bookstores in the US so I presume they resell them and make mucho bucks.

Amazon doesn't ONLY sit back and do nothing, it bans sellers from the website who refuse to refund these scammers.

***growl***

I finally caught them after they ordered two books in a row to the same address but with different names and suite numbers. I checked it out and realized I've been 'refunding' a huge company over $300.00.

To Nebraska Book Company:

You directly stole from CSA survivors when you scammed me. Everything I have extra goes to Guatemala or friends of mine who were raped. You also largely steal from college kids. Hey, at least my pocket book, flush with fuck money, can handle your thieving. These are college kids you're scamming, they don't have much of anything. Who steals from kids anyway?

To Amazon.com

Shame on you!

To Other Victims of this Scam:

I refunded NBC and cancelled all the books I was able to stop en route and refunded them with a letter telling them to never buy from me again. In the long run, it's best for me. I work with amazon, the shittiest book company around, because it is the largest. You might not want to sell off amazon anymore, and I'm looking at my options to quit amazon altogether. Right now I'm not rich enough or powerful enough to do something about it, but when I find some options, I'll opt out of amazon forever and wag my judgmental finger in their scheming, book blaspheming faces.

Videogame Land

For the past three weeks I've been playing a video game--Oblivion by Bethesda Works--pretty much 20/7. I've barely been up off my computer to go to the bathroom and get water. I just wiggle and swallow alot.

There is a storyline within the game that allows me to become an assassin. I decided to "try it" became so upset at the seceding storyline that I burst into tears and restarted the game altogether with a completely new character, killing the head of the Dark Brotherhood the moment I got a chance. I feel Ender-ized. What would the academy make of how I play my game?

I am SUCH a geek. And OCD. And other things, too.
