I'm about ready to load up and strap up and go get some cash for this guy. This continues to get more insulting with each new chapter.

Trent: (hope you read this).

I transferred in your account LM558. I got LM419. Your next transaction you will need to do is NOT less then the difference, which is LM139. To be precise, it is 139+1.50(bank commission)+2.50(other charges) = LM143. (Am not including 3 months of interest + time wasted + 3 months off my life for the hassle + Hired Car )

c'mon mods. this has gone too far now.
Enough with blaming the mods here. NONE OF US is defending Trent. I wasn't able to keep up with this the last couple of days so I was totally unaware of the latest information until now. Trent had assured me that he had no intention of saddling Trip with the attempted shipping charges and I can only assume (until I have had time to verify) that the missing funds were entirely due to the exchange rate which Trent miscalculated.

I agree that this is an unacceptable resolution, so would you and others PLEASE stop assuming that since a few of us spoke to Trent's previous credibility that we condone what is happening now. It's not only wrong...it's needlessly insulting.

I am confused because I am sure Trent's bank would have explain just how much Trip would receive on his end EDIT it looks like Trent know exactly how much he was sending
Every bank I've worked for deducts the wire fees SEPARATE from the funds to be wired....ie: I send 1300 USD......My account is deducted 1300 for the funds wired THEN the wire fee (usually 20-45 for international outgoing wires) is deducted.

I'm looking at the receipt, and it looks like only 1300 usd were sent in the first place.......it seems pretty clear that not enough was sent......not even including the change in exchange rate!

It doesnt look like the bank took anything off from the 1300... It looks like thats how much he sent in the first place WITHOUT them taking out the fees.

as a side note I got a voice mail from Best Buy's corp office thanking me for the information i sent and for the link to this thread - they will investigate the charges however they believe this to be a private matter since it did not happen at the store. they did state that if the thread is found true this is a clear indication of the of the employee's character and this is not the type of employee they want representing Best Buy
As an aside at least we get to look forward to him getting fired!

whatever USD amout Trent received, he should have returned...regardless of exchange rate. The seller shouldn't be able to make any money during a refund if the exchange rate varies....as for the buyer, that's the risk you take with international orders.

...wow, it's not really shocking, but man, it's pretty disappointing.

BTW Trent, smart and honest is better than dumb and conniving. I know you can't help one of the former, so it's really in your best interests to be honest.
