I posted a separate thread but wanted to give others here a heads up that Daniel Walsh is a scammer. Hopefully he didn’t trick anyone else into selling him their allocation. Here’s my post from the separate thread:
I posted in the Tidings thread that I wasn’t so sure about the shipping costs being worth it for me. Daniel offered to buy my allocation so I sold it to him and he Venmo’ed me promptly via a Goods and Services transaction. An hour later he said his wishlist got granted so he wanted a refund. I said I’d ask Tidings, but then thought better of it and said he could resell the wine in CC and I’d be happy to change the address.
He’s been badgering me nonstop that I should do him a favor and just cancel my order and refund him. He’s called the winemaker about me refunding him and now he’s filed a Venmo claim against me because he hasn’t received his wine yet. Avoid this guy at all costs.
You’re right and an honest mistake on my end. I reported him on Venmo because his account no longer shows up on my end. Just wanted to request the money, but Venmo kept telling me his account could not be found (which definitely sent the alarm bells in my head) Either, a mistake or I guess he blocked me on Venmo.
Now he’s just name calling me on Wine Berserkers and I’ve been disappointed that he has sunk this low.
Ok then drop your Venmo claim and keep your wine. Claiming you didn’t receive your wine to Venmo to get a refund is a scum move when you know the wine couldn’t have even shipped yet. Act like an adult
Yeah… you should understand how this looks to a totally uninterested third party. You entered into a transaction. Rajesh is holding up his end. Now you’re lying to Venmo to harass him. It’s borderline fraud. I’m not sure why you think Rajesh has done anything wrong when in the first place he was just doing you a solid by passing on the allocation. The fact that you didn’t think through the possibility of a wish list being granted is really your own problem…
Daniel why don’t you just do what you are asking Raj to do?
Email the winery and explain your situation and ask them to refund your wishlist. You can let them know that you will be a buyer on the next release. Seems pretty simple and it keeps you from asking Raj to do something he shouldn’t have to deal with.
