FAQ

Q: If you want a resolution, why not just pay the money demanded online?

A: We are completely willing to sit down and figure out a fair, reality-based way to ensure this grandfather is made whole. However, there is a fundamental difference between a good-faith resolution and giving in to a coordinated, viral extortion campaign. We will not reward individuals who use fake delivery uniforms, forged signatures, staged police encounters, and residential harassment to manufacture a storyline for profit. We want to help the family; we will not reward a toxic online circus.

Honestly heartless behavior to treat someone trying to get money for a cancer treatment. I hope they go under.

Even not a cancer treatment. Even if the original seller was an uber wealthy and healthy individual, if they can't get what's legally theirs without as little as "I want it back" (contract permitting, which I think here it does), that's a problem.
