sniffle, sniffle..
How nice are these exclusives?
????
man the WORST thing has happened... I mean I never thought dairycon was a sham I more or less posted this to spark dialog and get in touch wit the DTF.. but man did it backfire.....
My cousin, my brother and my self have NOW been BANNED from dairycon....
..and its all my fault.. My cousin is currently NO LONGER speakin to me....
Long story short,
Dairycon people think we are SOMEHOW tryin to scam them for the exclusives.... these must be some crazy nice toys then huh?
FOLLOWING instructions is what got me in trouble...
Per the registration website if you don't receive a reply within 48 hours you’re supposed to email them again..
I sent them an email from my hotmail account...(since I don't have internet at home, my cousin made me the email account on hotmail like 8 years ago and it apparently shows his real name as the sender of emails) but it is my email and I use it for everything!! School, paypal ect, ect.
So he registered under his name, using HIS school email address, using HIS contact info..
I used the hotmail addy which again he created for me(which apparently may be why it has his real name also) but in the body of that email, I sent my OWN personal info along with my real name and contact info... he lives in IL and I live in WI so I didn't see how this could be an issue...or how it could be mixed up...
so I waited an ENTIRE month and never got anything...I spoke with my co-worker who is actually in the DTF group, he also emailed Fred personally askin if he received my registration info.. A week went by with no reply from Fred either to me or my friend in the DTF group.
I then made this post here, as my thought process was maybe he thought my email was spam so he deleted it and never got my registration, my hope again to spark dialog or bring out Fred to clarify this or that someone could get in touch wit him or the DTF to again clarify this... judgin by the replies in here I thought it succeeded....
Shortly thereafter my cousin and myself received an email from Fred himself statin the confusion was somehow caused by my hotmail with the send out name matchin my cousins school email and his real name. I replied to him via that email clearing up the matter to which I never received a response, 2 weeks go by, NOTHING from Fred in my email confirming or denying MY registration, my DTF contact again heard nothing, nothing on this post, nothing from PM's either from you guys here...
so again thinkin it was the whole spam issue business, I sent another registration request, NOW from my GMAIL account which also doubles as my ebay account,(since my real name was not available I jus made up a nickname when I made my gmail account 2 years ago) I again clarify who I am and that I am from Wisconsin and send the same personal info that I sent before from my hotmail account,.. 2 weeks go by and again NOTHING.. no response denying or confirming ANYTHING..
Now keep in mind PRE registration closes on 3/15/07, this is like a week or so before that, so heck yeah I"m panicking.. I don't want to miss out.. I check with my brother and cousin askin if THEY ever got anything, they say nothing(besides my cousin who got that email along with me from Fred noted above)...
as a desperate measure I try to register a THIRD TIME but again using my same name and personal info and stating why I’m doing this, but I do it from my wife's account and using that same email address(meanin her yahoo email) I attempt to JOIN the DTF group as maybe that way I can get in touch with someone to clear this whole mess up!!
Another 2 weeks go by and NOTHING!! no email from Fred, no email from the DTF... I had jus about gave up hope when outta the blue I get an email from Fred in my gmail account, now this Fred sounds mad nice, he jus informs me and I’ll quote his email:
Now we have a 'sean price' monicker?

Dude, you have a lot of
names...... This is the information we have listed for you:
RE:I am tryin now thru my business address fingers crossed!!
0068
My Real Name Here
phabeon@hotmail.com7xx North Grand Ave
Waukesha, WI 53186
262-5x4-6x3x
(x) Guest
Initial confusion caused by two people with the Fabian monicker; the
duplicate info was listed as:
F R (my cousin's name)
Regalxxx0@uww.edu5xxx Breezeland Road, Carpentersville IL 60110
847-x0x-6x2x
also known as 'Sean Price'

Regards,
Fred
so yeah I think everything’s all cool based on this response.. so I fire back an email APOLOGIZIN greatly for the confusion and asking for forgiveness for it all.. I p.s. him about the status of my cousin and brothers registration...I never got a response back..
The very same day I get an email reply from Fred in my wife's yahoo email account where again I had attempted to join the DTF group...
again I’ll quote it:
Normally, I'm not one to complain, but this is getting a bit silly.
You realise that I have several different names and e-mail addys, all
somehow linked:
R D
F R
Sean Price
C B
Regalxxx0@uww.edutxmickey934@yahoo.comphabeon@hotmail.comaieen345world@gmail.comIt's all linked together, either via 'Fabian' or by the same mailing
address.
So the question becomes, who are you *really*? And would you be so
kind as to clear this up? At this point, I would have no idea what to
tell my graphics guy to put on the membership card... I have no idea
which one of your identities is your 'real' one.
You do realise that pre-registrants are required to present a driver's
lisence or photo ID in order to attend Dairycon, correct?
LMK, and thank you.
Regards,
Fred
SO again I reply to that email stating who I am, again the same person from WISCONSIN and again fire off my PERSONAL contact info, and DEEPLY and TRULY apologizing for the confusion I go on to give him my cousins email who again is from IL, I explain that and tell him that, his school email should be registered under an IL contact info so again not sure where the confusion is since i'm from Wisconsin and he's from IL and I’m no longer even using the hotmail addy...
I never get a response... and truly I think everything is okay, I"M under the assumption Fred is SUPER busy so thats why he never responds or so late in any response and I think its all gravy and we're good to go...
then on MONDAY March 19'th, 2007 the UNHOLY Bomb drops...
I come into work and receive an angry email from my cousin talkin about "thanks alot and thanks to your stupid antics you got us kicked outta dairycon" me not givin it much thought due to the last 2 emails I had received from Fred which led me to believe everything is all good, as quoted above...was SHOCKED to all get out when I go check my gmail account and my yahoo account sure enough have received the banned from dairycon emails... I mean WORST of all my cousin and brother are now somehow banned and they had nothing to do with my confusion so that’s why I’m tryin so desperately to amend things.. NOT TO MENTION my cousin is pretty p*sssed about this and has not spoken to me since that email...
All we got was this:
Your pre-regs for Dairycon have been cancelled. No further information
is available at this time.
Regards,
Moderator, Dairycon
thats it no explanation or anything....
come to find out thru my DTF contact... that dairycon somehow things WE are ALLL the same person.. and that I am somehow tryin to scam them for the exclusives... I don't know how they think this.. Being that ONE of their regulations is check in with a valid Drivers license..
ooooHHHH man this is all jus ONE big ugly mess... ME I have never been to a "con" of any kind and this would have been my first for myself my cousin and my brother and WHAT better way then to enjoy the 1st then to go to a transformers con......
PLEASE PLEASE Fred reconsiders... I have sent you an email explainin all this from my wife's yahoo account and will ONLY use that one for contact stuff from now on.. but please read this post and KNOW that this is not a scam but simply 3 different people tryin to attend your show... and i'm pretty desperate here.. and again I apologize for any confusion and inconvenience that I have caused.. and you seem like a pretty cooL dude and I KNOW we can work this out...
I know that if we talk on the phone or directly thru email we can clear this up..
if ONLY he would let us attend he WOULD see we are INDEED 3 DIFFERENT people and we would of course show up with our own individual drivers licenses to prove it...
IF I have offended anyone please let me know... or at the very least if DTF is p*ssed at me for all this.. please I IMPLORE you at least lift the ban from my cousin and my brother as they DID not have anything to do with my madness.. I mean if worst comes to worst I can take the blame for my rashness but those two had nothing to do wit it... and as for my contact on the DTF board, please forgive as he was only tryin to help me out....
SOMEONE please ask Fred to read this and know that on everything I swear this is no scam but 3 different people that got caught up in a HORRIBLE mix up..
I would even give out my phone # for Fred to contact if that would help..
I don't know what else to do... I’m at a loss for words..
and I’m sure some of you would say, well if this is how he runs his pre registration why would you want to attend an actual show that they put together... well all I can say is I’m a madman for all that is Transformers’ been collecting since the summer of 86'....
Please lets get this worked out DTF!!
I am in no way upset or mad at anybody.. like I sed to me this all one big confusion and I jus want to work it out.. I'm not mad NOR do I have any ill words for Fred or the dairycon group, NONE at all, we all good as for as I’m concerned I jus want to clear this MESS up and got darn it, ATTEND the dope a$$ Dairycon is aLL....
Thank you
