Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
I am currently in a dispute for the refund of my $700.00 for not having received the product (XboX 360) as promised by the seller, Mr. Albert Azolino. The purchase was made on December 11, 2005. The seller refuses to cooperate and now refuses to answer any of my inquiries. I have given him every opportunity to do the right thing from Dec.11 2005 until current day.

I filed a claim with PAYPAL and they ruled in my favor, however they state they CAN NOT refund my money because Mr. Azolino was smart enough to take his money out of his account with Paypal. If he doesn't have funds to cover my dispute for my refund, I get NOTHING. I think that is unfair and unreasonable. My money was stolen ($700) and that is my answer from paypal??? Then paypal states that they will take action where he will not have access to his account nor will his family or friends. However, in the same breath the paypal account manager said to me "but if he puts any money back into his account we will garnish it and refund you" HUH?!?!?! You just told me there is a block on his account, how will he be able to put money in his account if there is a block on his account??? This is what I am getting in return for using their services??

also filed a dispute with my bank the rep stated they would file the report, which will be recovered in my account in 7 business days. However, if his bank does not comply they will take the $700 back out of my bank account. What's the point of even doing that if they're going to take it back? Anyhow, I was supposed to be receiving more paperwork to fill out from my bank, which I had not received so I decided to call the bank. Of course no one has a clue and I get switched from rep to rep to rep. That same day I receive a letter stating my request denied because and I quote "Why your request was denied: Unable to revoke Point of Purchase, Internet or Telephone Initiated transactions." What does that mean? I then called the number listed on the denial letter and no one can give me a straight answer as to what that means. The advice I got was unless I sign an affidavit stating I did not authorize this transaction I cannot be refunded and the Rep I spoke to tell me it's been done before when people have no other way to refund their money. I told her I would not lie or purge myself. What kind of advice is that? She did state she wasn't a lawyer and I should talk to my lawyer and see what he says but she kept saying that it's not unheard of and happens a lot of the time. So am I supposed to purge myself to get my money back because people are too lazy to help me or do the right thing? I have been passed around and around and to no avail. I also have some legal counsel that I have not yet hired but had him send out a letter to Mr. Azolino in which case Mr. Azolino has yet to reply to and it's over 15 days and still counting since the letter was sent out I even scanned the letter and emailed it to him because I feared his address was fake.

The very last time I spoke with Mr. Azolino before he told me I should stop being a wise a*s and blocked me off of INSTANT MESSENGER he told me that PAYPAL should pay me not him as it's not his problem anymore. He refuses to pay me by BANK CHECK or MONEY ORDER. I have given him many other options. He kept stating paypal wouldn't let him use his account because someone else put in a "FALSE" claim against him. Therefore he couldn't pay me via paypal, that's when I asked him to send me my refund via bank check or money order.

The excuses and lies started right after the money was transferred. I have every email he sent to me with every lie and excuse when he did reply to my nagging emails. I have been very patient with this man and very civil. I have given him numerous options before turning to you. He seems to be a pro because evidently I'm not the only one who he's taken a fool.

When I logged onto ebay to look for him a few days after my purchase he was magically no longer registered. I don't even know if the address I have for Mr. Azolino is the correct address.

I have not slept in weeks, I have been sick physically and mentally as I have been having severe panic attacks and anxiety attacks from lack of sleep and stressing over this entire situation. I can not concentrate or keep my mind from wandering as I am totally and utterly exhausted from the lack of help from any one or website I have used and went to for help.

I have been trying to resolve this matter civilly. He is not cooperating, nor does he care too. I am a person who lives paycheck to pay check. I purchased the XBOX 360 he claimed he had for my boyfriend for Christmas and was even willing to get him more business thank God I didn't refer him to any of my friend or family. Now I never received the XBOX 360 or my money back. I don't really have the money to hire an attorney. I purchased this from him because there were only a few out on the market at the time and I wanted to surprise my boyfriend.

All I have is heartache and stress from this entire situation. He's a FRAUD and he thinks he's going to get away with stealing and lying. Please help me. No one else is helping me. Not PAYPAL, NOT EBAY, NOT even my bank and I have sent 8-10 emails to MYSPACE regarding the fraudulent activity but NEVER received any kind of response, I practically begged for MYSPACE to help me. MYSPACE is where I originally saw the post for the XBOX 360's for sale and there is a link for fraudulent activity to report it. However there is no customer service number or any number for that matter to contact the people who work at myspace.com and who are suposively carefully sifting through to find these people who are up to no good. Well if this is true then tell me why they have been all over the news lately where children are being rapped or murdered? Someone is not doing his or her job and I want justice and I'm not sitting back anymore.

This website has done nothing to protect me or help me. What's the point of having a contact link for fraud on your website when you don't answer back?? I recently posted a bulletin regarding Mr. Azolino and apparently he's been making some other people quit angry as well. Please I don't know what else to do.

Thank you,

Jill London

Note: I have the paypal receipts, all the emails from myspace.com and from our regular email conversations, plus the AIM Instant Messeger conversations.

I will first respond to John's comments. I agree with you on one thing. One is innocent until proven guilty. Albert has been "accused" and he will soon have his day in court. I am confused to why you are so defensive. I would think the thought of an adult raping children would be upsetting. Apparently not to you. Jill - You are welcome. Check out the following news report (that anyone can look up themselves). After reading it, it amazes me that people like "John" can defend. Like I said, he is accused of these crimes right now but justice will win out and when it does, there will be one less scumbag walking the streets and going after innocent children. I copied the following article from the newsite: "CLEVELAND -- Two Broadview Heights men are accused of raping young girls they met on the web site MySpace. Channel 3 News first told you about 21-year-old Albert Azolino back in March. He is accused of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old Strongsville student lured to his home through internet chat. Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Bill Mason says Azolino and 33-year-old friend Timothy Norman face rape, unlawful sexual contact with minors, and pandering charges. The prosecutor warns parents to be leery of the kids spending time on this web site. "It's like a catalogue for predators," Mason said. "It's got the pictures of the kids so anybody who wants to get online -- they go on to myspace.com, look at the pictures and click on it. Up comes the profile of the person they just click on." Mason says the suspects would offer alcohol to the kids then photograph them during sex acts. If convicted the two could face life in prison." Jill - Have you had any luck???

I agree w/ you Rita. This guy has no idea what he's talking about when it comes to that guy ripping me off. Karma...it really comes full circle. He gets EVERYTHING he deserves b/c let's face it...Albert deceived me before any one else. Paypal, yes I agree has a messed up system that he's right about but other than that he has no clue as to what this guy did to me or how he affected my life. I'm so glad that you can sit there and sick up for that *&*&...You must be able to just toss $700+ bucks out the window and not give it a second thought...I'm not that lucky. I work my *&* off and I was trying to surprise my fiancee with a gift he so wanted...I didn't deserve to be scammed. Thanks for your opinion anyway! Jill

Two sides to every story is right

The prevouse responder states this... >Paypal created the widespread problem by freezing accounts. Once >a seller's Paypal account is frozen, you can no longer add funds to >the account to provide refunds. The seller no longer has access to >the contact information of buyers in order to provide a refund. Bull puck! I don't care if this guy's account was froze or if his apartment caved in and his computer blew up. He should have sold the shirt off his back, dug some ditches and then got a money order to pay this woman back. Moreover, he had every way in the world to get the info that he needed about his own sale(s). After all, this woman was writing to him. Contact info is easy to get when a disgruntle buyer starts making contact with the seller about the item they didn't get. All the seller had to do was to respond back asking for an address to make things right. The previous responder states this... >Who is the real lying, cheating, thief? Paypal perhaps? Not in this case. This seller, Albert Azolino has the money $700 that doesn't belong to him and the buyer has what? Nothing!!! Wouldn't you say sir, that this has now become stolen money? The rest of what the previous responder had to say was much like someone talking that is pretty dang close to this whole deal of fraud; such as the person that perpetrated this fraud in the first place. Perhaps one day Mr. Albert Azolino can play peekaboo with everyone from behind bars. Lastly, there are two sides to every story is right... One dirty scum side stole $700 and the victim's side that worked at a real job to earn that money. Shame, shame on trash that steals! Rita

Two sides to every story

#13Consumer Comment

Sun, July 16, 2006

There are 2 sides to every story. Ebay and Paypal started these problems with the sale and purchase of Xbox systems. Ebay and Paypal arbitrarily shut off all Ebay listings and sent emails to people who purchased an Xbox system from these listings that it was a possible fraudulent transaction, even though not all transactions were fraudulent. Paypal, owned by Ebay, acted accordingly, and froze the Paypal accounts of people who were legitimately and fraudulently selling Xbox systems. Paypal created the widespread problem by freezing accounts. Once a seller's Paypal account is frozen, you can no longer add funds to the account to provide refunds. The seller no longer has access to the contact information of buyers in order to provide a refund. Do a seach on paypal freezing accounts, and you will see this is a major problem for buyers and sellers alike. So the question is, how does a seller refund money to a buyer when the seller no longer has access to his account, and whatever money was in the account and the accounts of family members was taken by Paypal? The problem is with Paypal giving buyers and sellers false assurance of "buyer protection" and "seller protection." After careful reading of the terms of service, there really is no guaranteed "buyer protection" or "seller protection." Who is the real lying, cheating, thief? Paypal perhaps? As for the inappropriate comment above that he's "getting what he deserves," it's a sad day when others find joy in someone else's problems. This is America, lest you forget, and a person is innocent until proven guilty. Did it ever occur to you perhaps he's not getting what he deserves, but is getting a payback from loud mouth complainers who do not have all the facts? People need to keep an open mind and realize there's more to a story than what you see posted by someone who's been wronged. The Ebay and Paypal problem have wronged many people; buyers and sellers alike, and our legal system has also wronged many people; victims and those wrongly accused. Not everything is as it seems. There are 2 sides to every story.

Run a search on Azolino! He has been arrested recently and charged with a variety of things. Wait until you see the charges! He is accused of rape and being a sexual predator. He is facing up to life in prison. This should help you "contact" him since he is in all the papers. You can contact the Broadview Heights police and now file your claim against him. Justice wins out in the end and now the monster cannot hide.

Apartment Community

#15Consumer Comment

I wish that I could help you out. All that I can tell you is that it appears that the address your fraud gave is in what appears to be a fairly nice Apartment Community. I took a look at a satellite view. If that really is his address, I would assume he would have offered an apartment number with the address but it doesn't appear that way from your report. At ant rate, it looks like you may have paid for some little worm's rent that happens to have the integrity of a crack head. This is the only way (it appears) that he can take advantage of a woman. He must be some dog! Good luck Jill. I hope that worm gets what's coming to him.
