Also, I you notice, I didn't get a charge back on the two transactions before the incident. I thought all of his transactions were flagged...
Thanks for pointing that out.Also, I you notice, I didn't get a charge back on the two transactions before the incident. I thought all of his transactions were flagged...
Double-like then, fair is fair.Double
Make sure he doesn't come back with some response like "Well I shouldn't have to put my entire hobby on hold just to make people whole". This was thousands of dollars, he absolutely is ethically obligated to. No integrity if he doesnt.I see. Thanks for letting me know, I'll be going back through the posts to find that. And I'll definitely be asking Heath about it.
Yours seem to be the most recent transactions to happen before the incident, maybe PP only disputed during a certain time period.Also, I you notice, I didn't get a charge back on the two transactions before the incident. I thought all of his transactions were flagged...
He won't be back. Bhyde and Boru13 are on top of this situation. Btw, thank you to both of you, @bhyde and @Boru13. You fellows don't receive nearly enough recognition for all that you do.Make sure he doesn't come back with some response like "Well I shouldn't have to put my entire hobby on hold just to make people whole".

Mark astutely highlighted the most important bit of information, his transactions didn’t get charged back.Make sure he doesn't come back with some response like "Well I shouldn't have to put my entire hobby on hold just to make people whole".

Heath Helton - Hall of Shame.
I can only go by the information that is being provided by those who say they are in communication with him and know the story.... but it was stated he only contested one transaction with PP and then PP took it upon themselves to chargeback everything for a year. While there would be a cutoff date for transactions that occured longer than a year prior, all transactions that were done up to the point the mass chargeback of transactions occurred would be inclusive of the event.Yours seem to be the most recent transactions to happen before the incident, maybe PP only disputed during a certain time period.
No dog in this fight but I believe this was not a scam, just that Heath Helton handled it extremely poorly (that's putting it lightly), and the impatience/anger of affected folks did not help. It does not excuse his lack of communication, nor does it excuse the fact that he's continued to make personal purchases while there's still people that need to be made whole. As a seller with supposed integrity Heath needs to maintain that by focusing on his wronged customers and not luxuries for himself or his family.
The best we can do is to make sure that this thread stays on top.
Thank you 2 times (ok, stealing from Jim) sir!No worries on that, this will eventually become a sticky thread.
Oooooh! A 50/50 chance! Sounds reasonable.My weekly update:
Firstly since there are at least two Jakes in here, I wanted to clarify I’m the PT Jake (which turned out null) from PA, better known as KnifeNuts Jake. I’ll add a sig.
Speaking of PT’s, thanks to Mark Boyles screenshots I think I’ve at least seen a grainy photo of my old MSC PT today. Sold November, disputed December 18, and closed January 30 with a $20 “chargeback fee” added to lost funds :lol:
I’ve been hearing from Heath about once a week for the past few weeks via IG, most recently on February 25 he said we had better than a 50/50 chance of getting settled up financially. I’ll be checking in with him again today since it’s been a week.
Victims of Heath Helton scams, may want to consider contacting the Texas Rangers. This type of fraud may very well fit under one of their jurisdictional catagories. If enough people give the Rangers a link to this thread, along with a registered complaint, it may just move up a bit on their priority list. This type of action is much more sensible than personal threats over the phone, and Heath’s team of lawyers would surely welcome the challange of dealing with such an elite law enforcement agency.

If it turns out that Heath is innocent, then the Rangers may just go up against the corrupt banking institution that confiscated Heath’s money. This could be a win win for everyone involved, and also bring resolution to this thread.
But it would fall under "Cybercrime" jurisdiction. Which is quite a large jurisdiction if I'm not mistaken.It will depend on WHEN the events occurred and WHEN Heath Helton moved to Texas.
Anything that happened BEFORE Heath Helton moved to Texas would not fall under the jurisdiction of any Texas based law enforcement organization.
