More about not wanting to make things worse/get myself into something than being nice...

This is why I use Google Voice as my number for anything outside of family and friends.

Time to get a permit to carry. I've been threatened 3-4 times. It's just a way people try and get things done.

In LA County, it's near impossible to get a permit to carry a concealed weapon.

Unless you're LE or something similar, they don't give them out.

Stop responding to him, every time you response you encourage the person more. Just ignore it totally and let Pay-pal tell him to either return the product or suck it up. I am betting PayPal already to him he is out of luck, that is why he trying to harass your ass.

So people think screaming and yelling and threatening will get what they want. If you files a mail fraud charge and it is found out it was false you will have the US government crawling up his ass.

I think you meant "if he files right?

What exactly is mail fraud? First time I've heard of this

Mail Fraud is a felony offense in which the offender uses the postal service to commit a crime.

ie: If he returns an empty box and claims he returned the item so he can get a refund, then he will have committed mail fraud.

Absolutely nothing happened, whoever opens the mail at the Real Estate Commission probably got a good laugh though.

Got it, makes sense.

So...how the heck did I commit mail fraud?

Even if, by chance, I did make a mistake and sent him the wrong item, how is that mail fraud?
If that's the case, then all the vendors and businesses who, once in a while (maybe 1%? less?) send the wrong item to someone..would be committing mail fraud

You didn't. He is just trying to intimidate you, unless of course you sent him an empty box!

Internet transactions really bring out the worst in people. Threatening over really petty crap because they already know there will be no repercussions.

I like 3 and 4
Unless you have a jailbroken iPhone, there is no blocking # app. Apple's API does not let apps access stuff like that. Apps are sandboxed. Basically, the only thing they can do is make sounds, display videos/animations, play with the camera, and use flash. Minor hardware control via 30-pin and audio port.
