QuadsZilla I got this email from Christine Daukas a few minutes after a signup to the SEO Black Hat Forums:
My name is Christine Daukas and I just received a very alarming email
from Pay Pal stating that I subscribed something from you and your
company for $100.00 Stop Now! I am a student teacher and the $100.00
that you are “steling” from me will cause my checking account to be
overdrawn> I am very very angry put the money back into my account
now!
Christine Daukas
I replied to Christine Daukas:
Christine Daukas,
Your account was probably phished. It wasn’t done by me.
Be sure to change your papal and email passwords and, in the future, be more careful.
Please forward the paypal receipt to me and I’ll take care of it today.
Christine Daukas didn’t forward the receipt. However, since it was a very recent transaction and I wanted to get it off my plate, I went into paypal, was able to see it on the front page and reversed it in about 2 minutes.
Then Christine Daukas sends me back this email:
Don’t have the audacity to tell me to “be more careful” ass wipe. Make
sure that you confirm your transactions.
Odd way of saying thank you – don’t you think?
Update from Christine Daukas:
Because of your carelessness and having to deal with the theft I was
late to the most important interview of my career. Sorry that I called
you a name, it’s not my style. I was very stresssed having to contact
you, paypal my bank and credit card company.
While I don’t feel that I was at all careless, (having refunded the money 3 minutes after hearing about the situation and giving her tips to avoid similar problems in the future) I do understand that sometimes people get stressed and act out of character, and accept her apology.

It seems Christine is Fucking dickhead…
Sadly another case of ‘no good dead goes unpunished’! I think babyboy808 has a strong case…
Now you are ranked #1 for her name… maybe that will teach her to be nicer in the future.
It’s funny how people do and say things online and via email that they would never dream of saying in an offline setting. The way you act when you think nobody is watching reveals a lot about you.
Perhaps you should reply, sending her a link about how many recruiters these days use the internet to research candidates:

Some lessons get learned the hard way.
“Because of your carelessness…”
Wow, does she not understand that the only way someone could have signed up for a subscription using her paypal account was if they had her paypal linked email and password? By far the most likely way for that them to have gotten her password is because she fell for a phishing scam (i.e. she wasn’t careful). And you’re the careless one?
Christine, if you’re reading this, take his advice and change your paypal and email account passwords (since someone obviously has gained access to one or both) before more damage is done. Then send an email to quadzilla and any other merchants where purchases might have been made, thanking them for their prompt resolution of the issue and appologizing for the inconvenience caused by *your* carelessness.
I read a story yesterday about a similar situation – here is the beginning of it:
["Linda Wren of Richmond discovered that one day in May when she got a large bottle of the weight-loss supplement hoodia in the mail.
The same day, she got a package of stop-smoking patches and a teeth-whit ening product. She hadn't ordered any of them.
"I couldn't figure it out," she said.]
Considering the product line-up she received, obviously some marketer is buying up their affiliates products w/ false cc’s and taking the commission. It must be an affiliate that pays out fast w/ minimal refund chance….I can think of a few that fit this m.o.
Its scary.
The question is…
How hot is she?
Also…
Does she wear thong panties, and is she a dirtygirl?
Genius way of handling this, Quadszilla… I would hate to be one to really piss you off. Mental note: Make sure my on-line pseudonym is 100% firewalled.
I wouldn’t want some as rude and ignorant as Christine Daukas working for me, especially as a student teacher. I’d be quite interested in seeing Christine Daukas myspace, or Christine Daukas facebook, or Christine Daukas resume, or Christine Daukas CV. In fact it wouldn’t surprise me if we saw a Christine Daukas dismissal in the future for her lewd behaviour.
Looks like the joke’s on Christine Daukas this time!
Paypal scares the hell out of me; I have heard way too many stories of them freezing accounts and locking funds for stupid things. On the other hand, who is the idiot that was trying to pay for a forum membership with stolen money?
This is a terrible apology! She should apologize for her apology! Frankly as an employer, if I found out she behaved like such a fool and consequently became late to the *most important* interview of her career, I would send her packing.
If you are a paypal user you know your founds can be refound just by paypal. Don’t give her any money.
Quad:
I am sure that this is the refund message of the year.
lol.
