N2MIC - Miguel Corral - This guy is a flake- BEWARE!

Post by wb6don »

I'll paste the entire thread of correspondance with this guy and let you decide. Keep in mind, it starts at the bottom and works up. Also, after he gave me his number, I called and he promised to send overnight payment on friday. Then he email and backed out. IMO he lied about sending the never-arriving mail, rendering him a liar;

Sorry it is so long but I gave him a lot of rope.

Hi Don

I was thinking, and I forgot that I have a few bills that I have to pay on Friday. So I really cant make that transaction at all. So please go a head and post it back up and sell it.
I'm sure I could get another one down the line when my monies comes in the mail.


Thanks again,


Mike

Hi Don

I put a trace early today on the m.o.
They told me it takes 2 or 3 days for me to know whats going on the m.o..
I know you have waited for a while for payment. If you want to sell it to another buyer, go a head do so. I know its going to a little while for them to return my monies back to me.
I'm really sorry for this to happen.

Hi Mike,

Still no show for now. I would say if it isn't here by Saturday, there might be something wrong. Just FYI, I get paychecks from Boston regularly by 1st class mail and typically it is 2-4 days.

Yep. Address on qrz and fcc is good. I'll ship it the day it arrives.

I'll let you know when it ships, and I'm not sure if you get tracking numbers with USPS, but I'll send you whatever they give me.

Thanks Mike.

To, N2MIC
Miguel you are a "Flake"

First- get someone to proof read what you write. It's hard to understand you.

Second- you lied about the whole deal. You kept saying its in the mail and then you back out.

Third- Don stayed calm and cool about the whole thing and your last two replies showed you need anger management control. Your langauge was in very poor taste.

Don is a true and honest amateur radio operator that gave you more time then others mite and you could not tell the truth.

WOW, is all I can say.
This behavior is becoming so common nowadays.
This is not what ham radio is about.
In the day, this behavior would be shunned, the person shunned.
WOW!!!

Wow is all i can say also.There was once a time ones word meant some thing. Sounded to me in his last E Mail he was making a threat. Not such a surprise with a attitude like his that he would throw a threat in there. I'm just thinking as it has happened to me and it would have solved so much if after you notified him he would have Apologized and told you then he had unexpected bills come up and needed to back off the deal,i know i appreciated when my Potential buyer done that with me as i was able to still sell to a previous person wanting to buy.

Thanks for everyones commentary. This guy is really a piece of work. The threats and rants kept coming in overnight. No point in continuing to post them here as they are much like what he's already said.

"I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS"

Post by W9DMW-2 »

Don, First of all I commend you for waiting as long as you did, Almost (2) two weeks, (Feb-25 to Mar-9). I read your emails to this Flake, And there is no doubt, That he lied right from the get go.... Stating he sent the Money Order, Then stating he would put a trace on it, When you send a Postal Money order, There is a receipt attached that you tear off, This would be proof to me if he would send it to you via email, A copy of it. It would show the date, Time, And amount sent, And most important, The Number. But we both know that that is not going to happen. His reply at the end of the deal, Is unbecoming of a Ham radio gentleman, I find his replies Foul mouthed, And I take an offense by his conduct and uncaring manner. Personally I would save all copies of his replies, And forward them to the F.C.C, There is a code of conduct that we must follow, And this Flake violated it. If he did not want it, Just come clean and state it, At least you would be honest about it, Hell I have made deals, And forgot about them, But when the other party responded back to me, I took care of it. POOP Happens, That's life, But no need for this type of vocabulary and rudeness. It's totally uncalled for. MOST UNPROFESSIONAL.
Just my opinion, Don W9DMW

N2MIC,
You need to get your act together, I have been and will continue to serve Ham radio in a proper and PROFESSIONAL manner, I cannot say the same for you. You are FOUL mouthed, And at best a B.S. Artist. The facts speak for themselves. As far as being a A$$ kisser, Call it what you will, It just shows your common sense level, Not much there. Next time tell the truth. That way you do not have to cover up the first lie with another.

Don W9DMW 30 Yrs a Ham and PROUD of it.

I don't believe anyone is saying Miguel is dishonest or anything like that.What everyone is responding too is his attitude in his deal with N6DRF and the fact he has tried to flip it back on him.
