Hello all, I would like to make some new friends on SL because most of my friends do not log in much anymore. To introduce myself a bit, I like singing a lot, and I like to do landscaping, I also do a little bit of building, and I like to go around to explore. Oh and I like to talk :) IM me if you want to be my friends ^_^ *waves*

Well, the last time I IM'ed her was 2 days ago, with a screenshot of the transaction history from my dashboard page. I specifically quoted out in red brackets the 2 transactions (L8 and L7500) that I've made to her, with another transaction of me purchased L10000 from LL. Until now, there were still no respond. I already did all I can, IMed her, reported a land fraud abuse, still nothing. One thing I'm sure though, that is 1 day of my life worths more than USD$40, so I might as well just get over it. This is actually the second time I rent full region on SL. Maybe because the first time, with a different landlord, it was a very good experience, extremely efficient and helpful, that's why I expected too much about this from this current landlord. However, it doesn't matter if it is virtual or real life, whether it's a business-owner or an employee, difficult customers are everywhere, across all different industries, both internaly and externally. Not being able to handle self emotions and deal each customers as seperate individuals is the ultimate reason for not able to maintain loyalty customers. Perhaps in real life, if it is a monopolized business then customers would have no choice. Yet there're so many choices out there on SL with this real-estate business, the bigger the challenge meaning the higher EQ is required. As a business-owner, his/her professionalism and ethical business behaviour means everything to his/her own business. And then of course, if anyone ask me to recommend who they should rent full region from, the landlord I have had bad experience with would definitely not be the one I recommend. "You get what you give", and I still believe justice do exist. Gil.

So as the landlord told me I didn't pay weekly tier and therefore I didn't follow the terms and conditions, which I did, I paid the L7500 weekly tier 9 minutes after I paid the L8 land purchase fees. Despite it steps into two different days, but it was still only 9 minutes apart regardless, compares to 86,400 minutes in 24 hours (a day), that 9 minutes is only 0.01% of a day's time. I was rude because I did all that I can, pay weekly tier right after I paid the land puchase fee, then IM'ed landlord for EM rights. All these actions are according to the instructions given on the landlord's profile. Payment were made to the same person according to my past transactions record at the dashboard, was very immediate as well since 2 transactions were only 9 minutes apart. I am mad because the landlord simply boot me out of the land that I DID pay tier for, didn't even want to investigate the matter. Her first reply was not descriptive enough for others to understand what she actually mean, her second reply were saying I did not pay her, and then she blocked my access to the region, even the place where I TP'ed to pay the weekly tiers to her, she blocked all my access. I reported her for land fraud, but as I cannot access to either the region nor the tier center, I do not think this is positive at all. There's nothing else I can do. Oh well lucky its only like USD$40, just the price of a cheap 3 course lunch, so glad I did not pay L30,000 for a month at once then this happen. I'm over with it, a good reason to draw me away from SL and not to trust pixelated 'contact' where unlike real life, there's no enforcing laws nor the rights as a consmer here. And finally, she is paying more cash per month to LL then I do, so I doubt the result of the report abuse (land fraud) will be justice. That's just the way the world we created works, right? Peace all, and thanks for all the advice~ Gil.

I took a screenshot from the past transactions, both the 8L and 7500L is being paid to the same person, 9 minutes apart.

If you look at the time carefully, I paid weekly tier a couple minutes after I paid the L8 purchase fee. 23:00 = 11pm at night, 00:00 = 12am in the morning.

Hi all, So there's the full-story: June 2 at 23:54 I purchased a homestead for L$8 from a 'landlord'. June 3 at 00:02 I pucheased L$10,000 from LL to pay the weekly tier. June 3 at 00:03 I TP'ed to the tier center provided by the 'landlord' to pay tier over a 'terminal' looking thingy - L$7,500. June 3 at 00:05 I followed the instructions on the 'landlord's profile, IM'ed her "I need EM rights to be transferred, thanks." June 3 at 09:01 The landlord replied my IM saying "transferred?" June 3 at 22:02 I replied to the landlord's IM: "Do you mean the rights are transferred? But I still can't edit terrain texture etc." June 3 at 22:42 I sent another IM: "So far the first day of me renting this homestead, I couldn't get much done due to the fact I IM'ed you in regards to EM rights, yet your respond were nice and short "transferred?" with no further explanation of what is that supposed to mean, is that a question or a saecasm? For all I know I am still unable to do anything in the Region/Estate window, that includes change terrain texture set region time nor broadcast region-wide message. Very not happy at all for the unprofessional and unefficient service." June 4 at 08:48 The landlord replied me with something similar to this: I lchecked the system and you haven't pay me any rent, so I need clarification as to what "transferred" meant. You are not a renter even though you have paid the 8L but failed to comply with the covenant which clearly states weekly rental is due immediately. I'm sorry if you feel this is unprofessional or sarcastic but I provide support only to paying customers. At the same time, I found myself got booted from the homestead, and can no longer access it as well. June 4 at 22:52 I replied to the landlord with a screenshot of my transaction history from the LL account page, "So you're saying I DIDN'T PAY? I paid L$8 then paid another L$7500 at the tier center through the termainal. Here's the record." I feel like I'm being scammed... need advice please :( Gil.
