Ok here is the scenario, it is kind of long and a bit confusing, but it has a point, so read on:
Ok, say you bought an extreme amount of content from somoene and there was some confusion about how this was going to be paid for. The middle party involved in this was going back and forth between the buyer and the seller of this package. So the buyer and seller were then put together and found the point of confusion. At this time, the seller agreed to take payments on this package and there was an invoice sent. The buyer makes all the payments but the last one he was a little short on and he alerted the seller that he would be about 10 days late and wanted to know if this was acceptable....... and it was, the seller agreed to this. As a result of all the confusion on this purchase and such, the buyer even paid an extra $1000 for the hassle it had caused, WITHOUT being asked for the extra, he just sent it to be cool about it and let him know he wasn't trying to rip him off. 1/3 of this content was delivered, without a license, and this was fine, as long as the licenses were all sent at the time of the last payment. Well it was told to the buyer that another 1/3 of the content had been sent via airmail and it never arrived and still hasn't 3 months later.
To go on with this, the buyer ended up paying every dime + some and started asking when he could expect the content to be delivered. At THIS time is when it gets interesting. The buyer was then told that he would NOT be getting anymore content and wouldn't be getting licenses for the content he DID have because the seller says he never agreed to making payments on this, but the invoice sent by the seller says differently. So what doe she do? He starts saying that he will need an extra $6K+ to resend and reprocess all of this content that never arrived to the buyer in the first place. He informed buyer that he had one week to send the extra money ir the price would double. Well...... needless to say, the buyer isn't going to be sending anymore money that way because he had already sent more than the original price in the first place with nothing to show for even a dime of the money sent.
The seller swears that the buyer and the middle guy was trying to run a scam on him and therefore he has stopped all dealings with both parties and he refuses the delivery of this content, ANY of it. He has also threatened the buyer with a lawsuit, why, I am not quite sure on because he was paid in full for this package, so I am unsure how a lawsuit comes into place in a situation like this, but he says that he will see the seller in court and his own Atty advised him not to send anything and that he owes the buyer nothing. Seems to me, if the buyer was trying to run a scam on someone, HE wouldn't have been paying for this content and have paid in full and on top of this, sending an additional grand to cover any confusion and hassle.
What is YOUR opinions on this? Because frankly it has me baffled and I don't know what to think.
You must know this was the buyer's introduction into the Adult Industry as WE know it and this is how he got initiated.... and since I am not one to buy and deal in this quantity of content or anything like this, I really don't know how to help this guy or how to advise him on what to do about it. For the record, me and my company aren't involved in this, but I AM affiliated with the Buyer on a certain level, so this is why I know about this situation. I do business personally with the Buyer in this situation...... so there is no drama on MY part other than trying to figure out how to help MY associate.
NO, I am not accustomed to STARTING drama here, but this is driving me mad on what to tell this guy on what to do next. So tell me what YOU think about this?
