Well it looks like karma has finally caught up to me and it looks like I really can't get out of this one. Long story short, I've been privately SE'ing Fitbit for quite some time now. I've mainly been doing it for myself and for my IRL friends and also selling them on eBay. I never bothered opening a service here because there's pretty much a million other services like this and I didn't want to have to compete with them. In total, I made a ton of money selling them on eBay for near retail price. I don't even know how many Fitbits I did but I did make upwards of $3,000 dollars over the course of a year. The money wasn't that great in comparison to an actual job but for a college student like myself, it was something. Now before I go on, here's the bill I received this morning. Sorry for the shitty quality. I tried to scan it using my printer but I don't think it came out right. Oh well...
I had to blur out some info like my name and address.
So I got a pretty thick envelope this morning with my name on it and from the outside it was a pretty plain envelope with no logos or anything on it. Inside was the bill I attached above and a stapled document from Fitbit. So in that document Fitbit wrote that they have noticed an unusual amount of activity coming in and out of my address and IP. They stated that after a thorough investigation they were able to connect multiple warranty fraud cases back to my address and IP. Now this is what really surprised me. In another document they listed all the cases that I opened up with Fitbit and next to each one was information used to SE the Fitbit and my IP and personal info. I always take precautions and use a VPN but it seems like they were still able to connect it somehow. I gave it a look once or twice over and they really covered everything. They connected all the cases and my IP to the very first SE I did on the site which was to my own address using my own name. The proof is all there and I can't really get out of it. The collection agency that Fitbit assigned this case to is also very legit. I searched online for similar cases and by the looks of it, they almost always follow through.
So after adding all the cases up, it seems like I now owe Fitbit around $1,500 USD. I have the money for it but I am gonna hold back and see what happens. Worst case is I get a visit from the collection agency or something but by then at least I know that they are serious. I might have to get another job just to make up for the lost cash because I haven't told my parents about this yet and I do not plan on telling it to them. Wish me luck I guess...
Also on a side note, I didn't notice that I hit 9K posts. This is pretty ironic because I was going to make a special 9K post for this occasion but since this will be my 9,000th post I can't really make it anymore. Unfortunately, as much as I would have liked to troll you guys again with another post ban post, this is very much real and I will have to pay the bill. I guess this is the part where I thank you guys for the awesome time I've had here on MPGH.
Thank you all for sticking with me and dealing with my weeb shit all these years. I really learned a lot and met a lot of amazing people here on the forums. There are just too many people for me to thank. So to all my friends and people I know on the forum, you know who you are, thank you all for my time on MPGH memorable and enjoyable. Wish me the best of luck!
So.... did I get you guys again?
Thanks for reading through another post ban of mine. Enjoy this video. It's my treat. (✿◠‿◠)
