How I helped them steal my iPod Video

As you might have seen, last week I listed my iPod on Facebook marketplace to help sell it faster. Well, it worked, or at least I think it worked. This girl, Anita Elli, made an offer of $200 for me to ship it to someone in Nigeria. I started to price out shipping & handling & came to the conclusion that $200 isn't that bad of a price, considering. So, I told her that when she sent me the money, I would ship it. So she did & I got an email from Paypal saying that the money was debited from the senders account & I would be credited within a couple of hours of sending the confirmation of shipping. At first I hesitated & then reassured myself that it was all good... as it was the first time I was shipping overseas. So, off to Canada Post I went & sent off the packaged iPod. Today, I wake up from my night shift to find an email saying that the seller had to credit me $100 extra & that I needed to send that money via Western Union to some jerk off in Nigeria. Well HELLO!!!! What a wake up call. I immediately called Canada Post to stop the package & they basically said Kiss it goodbye. Only an RCMP Officer could make the request & they may try to stop it. So, needless to say, the package is long gone with an empty promise of money; however, the only silver lining is that the iPod didn't cost me anything to purchase a few years ago as I used reward points from work (RBC) & it only cost me $18 to ship international. Although I did go out & purchase a new iPod Touch, so technically, I'm out $220 or so dollars....


The funny thing is that I know better & the second I started to look at the header of the emails from paypal, i knew that I was screwed out of an iPod.

Is it really worth it?

So, yesterday I decided that I wanted to refresh my notebook so I did a complete re-install/re-image of my hard drive.

Everything went perfectly well except for the fact that I can't get my iTunes to work like it was working before. Unfortunately, I have already synced my iPod with my re-installed iTunes, so there is nothing that can be done now!!!

The only real problem that I'm having is that my play list & top rated have disappeared along with my album art. I guess I can live with that, but I'm going to have to continue to try to figure out how to fix it! I may call on DearCali for this one.... we'll see!

So, tomorrow afternoon is going to be an interesting afternoon. 3pm isn't going to come fast enough! Again, can't go into too many details just yet, but keep your fingers crossed! Everything could change between now & Friday!

Off to bed!

'til next time!
