Hilarious story, i'm confused as to why anyone would think it is fake. People try to scam you on ebay on a daily basis it's not farfetched at all...

Why did you buy an iPhone from a pond liner seller rather than an Apple or at&t store?
j/k
Who is to say that he had his phone on vacation in the first place?
Maybe he went to another country and didn't want to pay international rates. Or he went backpacking in the rocky mountains and didn't have mobile coverage. Or maybe he, like myself, turned the phone off on vacation.
ok sure.. whatever you guys say. I was just telling afunny story.. either way, you go on vacation with an outstanding order that has been a headache, you TELL the person (hey, i'm not going to be around for 4-5 days)
I could go into detail of the horrible dealings with this guy, but either way, with the way EVERYTHING went, i can tell he was lying about not having access to the net.

If it is funny, then why aren't you laughing? You seem to be more butt-hurt crying about it rather than amused.
Well, people are coming up with excuses for the person that really HAS NO EXCUSE if you knew the whole story.. it was funny, and if you read my posts, you will see that at FIRST i was PISSED, i mean, its more than half way though the landscaping summer season and i JUST started building my pond. THAT pisses me off still.. but the idea that the guy said "i have no internet WHILE the same email said SENT FROM MY IPHONE" was rather comical in a sense that the guy is an IDIOT
Why don't you just remove the signature from your iPhone's settings?
You go to
1. Settings
2. Mail, contacts, calendars
3. Signature

well, i dug and built the pond in june, and that was when i ordered the liner. I got it LAST WEEK.. Thats why i was pissed.. i HOPE you're joking with me on the question, but i might as well answer just in case.. I cant tell WHO is joking and who isnt at this point
lindsayanng, sorry to hear that. Understood you clearly. You might want to flag some posts.
Keep in mind those who are confused did not take the 20 seconds to read the post, and are all close to newbie status. Can't believe some people are that close to GW in term of IQ...
For those who need a little help in reading comprehension,
1. OP bought a pond liner via ebay that took 2 months for seller to send.
2. Seller claims he is away and had no internet access.
3. Seller sends all his messages via iPhone.
4. Everyone who owns an iPhone takes it anywhere. Even if you have no cell service, you would find a hotspot and check email.
5. Thus showing the seller is lying that he had no connectivity.
6. The seller did not dispute that he was caught lying.

thanks for the clarification.. you're right.. SOME people did not read.. others are just being annoying.
Yup.
Question to the O.P.: Had he sent you an e-mail WITHOUT the "iPhone" text at the end, would you have believed his E-MAIL that said he didn't have internet?
It's funny that he didn't know about the sig-line, yes, but I'm not clear on what his plan was in his mind. Did he really expect to fool you?
I think you must work for ... good lord man, are you out of your mind? I think you might be the most dense poster on this message board.
There are all sorts of ebay stories I could tell that are similar to this. iphone defaults its sig to "sent from iphone". Funny story.
well, i MIGHT have believed he didnt have FULL access and might have been using a hotel lobby cpu (like a holiday inn exresses) OR he was at an internet cafe. I WOULD have given him the benefit of the doubt as to why it took him so long to respond to me.. even thoguh i would have been pissed that he went on vacation with this issue open.
Anyways, he did get negative feedback on ebay.. I usually never give negative feedback if i atleast receive the item, but liars get no sympathy from me.
he's obviously not a macrumors frequenter
Not that it would matter. Have you not noticed the lack of intelligence some members here have?
