Man, I'm almost as pissed now as I was earlier.
My best friend sent me a text about 45 minutes ago saying "You get your AxeFX yet?", so I sent him the abridged story of how I flipped out earlier, contacted Fractal and spent 6+ hours talking with Fractal employees, changing all my passwords, having the IT guy at work look into any breaches, all while I was getting my ass handed to me at work with serious issues.
He responds with:
"Fuck bro! It was supposed to be a joke, I thought you'd hit me up immediately to tell me it was delayed. I thought it was the best prank ever. Didn't mean to stress ya out the whole day, just wanted to make ya panic for a sec and then laugh right away."
He called me and tried to explain it but I wasn't laughing. Aside from the time that was wasted on Fractal's behalf and my own, this is more than a piece of gear for me, it's the culmination of all the work I've done on myself and in my life to get to the point that I could buy one. I read off the post I made earlier when DLC86 suggested it was a friend or family member.
I'm still in disbelief he would even think this was funny. I asked him why he didn't call me or send me a text when I replied to the e-mail asking if my package was being diverted to another customer, he said "Oh, I guess I logged out of Gmail", had he called me or sent a text telling me it was him or replied to that e-mail saying "Haha you idiot, it's Nacho!" I maybe would have chuckled.
I'm truly sorry for wasting everyone's time with this. I understand his point of how he thought it'd be funny, but he missed the mark by a long shot.
