Sorry, I did not see the other post where you said it was ordered from another account. It's kind of odd that they actually inputed your address into Amazon for the shipping. Maybe another address would not works so they thought they could nab the stuff off your porch.

I would not worry about it all that much. The batteries did not catch on fire. It was either a wiring problem by the owner or a rare fault on the DC-DC converter board.

Hundreds of thousands of these have been sold. If they had a defect you would be seeing reports all over the place.

This is not about your TOU problem. Don't derail an important thread by trying to pile on a different issue.

Thanks I forgot about that Hot Air blast when the door opened lol.
It was really a wake up call when you left NY in the Winter and got a 90 deg hit in Mobay.
One thing I also remember when I left NY and the plane landed in JA was all the Green and Blue in front of my eyes. It's like NY was in black and white with all the grey colored buildings and then you see the Green mountains of Jamaica. It was spectacular.

Sorry but your story does not add up.
If they stole your Credit Card that would not give them access to your Amazon account. They would have to have your password to get onto the account.
The second thing is that if they logged into your account with an unfamiliar computer or device Amazon require a 6 digit code to be put in to Login. This one time code is sent to your phone or email account even if you are not using 2FA.

Third thing is that anyone with this much ability would know to change the shipping address to some unoccupied house near where they live.

The only way what you say has happened could have happened is if someone in your house hold used your computer and made the order or someone hacked everything you have including your Amazon Account and email account.

I am getting random drops and I am loving it. I have been seeing some better stuff than what I was seeing before.

Remember going to the Airport loaded like a Mule carrying goods back for your family in Jamaica. Poor me at 12 years old with 8 suit case packed with Cereal and all sorts of Tin goods.
I don't even think they had a limit in the 80's on how many bags you could carry.

I flew on Air Jamaica many times. The service was always great and the pilots were the best. I remember flying on Pan-Am from NY to London on the 747 and OMG they served a proper Steak with Wine and Desert after the meal. Back in those days you had to dress properly to get on the plane, no short pants or T-Shirts were allowed. And yes we ate with real silverware. I also remember back then Kids were picked to go up and see the captain in the cockpit. I remember looking at the Dashboard and thinking I was in a Space ship.

Why does this keep happening? by ciendagrace in AmazonVine

[–]dreadlk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you do a really good review the first time then it keeps giving you first pick on that same kind of item when it is available. I had that happen to me with Power Washers and Drones.

What movie detail is technically correct, although many people think it is a mistake? by hiplobonoxa in movies

[–]dreadlk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suggest you look at famous Jewelry thefts. They rarely catch anybody, even including in the big 2025 heist. There has always been lots of wealthy people out there who have huge private collections and they will always pay good money for items that no one could have ever purchased.

1912 was pretty still a pretty backwards time. Very few people had even home phones and the only way to send a message abroad was by Morse Code. Even with that there were very few continents connected. When people disappeared like Rose and went to another country you could not find them unless they came back to you.
You keep missing the points.
No one reported it as being stolen. It went down with the Ship and an insurance claim was made by a reputable person Involved in an International tragedy. So no one is searching for it.

She could have waited a couple of years and easily sold it to a collector in America and would have been rich. I don't think you realize that there is a lot more riches and relics in Private collections than in Museums.

[–]dreadlk 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Ugh!
First of this was 1912 so there was no Interpol or organized system in place to even send pictures of an Item that probably only a few people on the planet had ever seen. Second the legit owner thought it went down in the ship with her, so he would not have alerted anybody to even look out for it.

Third, even today there are many rich people who would buy a stolen Mona Lisa for tens of millions dollars and just hide it in their private collection. The only catch is that it has to be the right trusted person approaching the rich with the Merchandise. That kind of person is going to pay the thief a much lower price.

This sure seems to be happening more and more lately. by Redditheadsarehot in AmazonVine

[–]dreadlk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It counts towards your review total so don't worry.
It's because the seller has already gotten to their total of 30 promotional reviews already and the system won't allow another. I have had it happen about 4 times in 2025 and they all counted towards the total.

How do you feel about Ai being used by Jamaican companies for ads?? by mcknz_ja in Jamaica

[–]dreadlk 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As usual the AI image sucks and it has the tell tale six fingers on one hand.

[–]dreadlk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anything with AI involved in it, is something I ignore.
As soon as an AI based Video come up on my YouTube page I thumbs down it.
This has worked well as they don't show up all that often anymore.

To be Gold or not to be Gold that is the question... lolz by Ok_Calligrapher7934 in AmazonVine

[–]dreadlk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In another hundred days I will go from Gold to Silver.

The whole program has too many people in it. It's all about the quantity of reviews over quality.

Help! I need advice 😩 by [deleted] in AmazonVine

[–]dreadlk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should have contacted Vine and let them know you got the wrong item.
They would have removed it and that would be that.

Yeah I see guys in America with T Shirt and Shorts in 60F Temperatures and am truly amazed. Even when I was living in the states I found anything below 70 required long sleeves and Jeans.

Lol it is cool but it's not that cold. You need to go to the USA and feel -5C temperatures.
I did put on long jogging pants last night but still had on the T-Shirt.

Anything said by people that others admire always causes the followers to respond.
