Sad Story from One Who Trusted without Checking!

[calypso*a*go-go]

Sorry Jim, you just lost your high-standing: Tom is now Mr. Incredible. Okay, okay...I guess you can both be Mr. Co-Incredible!

OK, I can't stand anymore of this. This board has been really good to me and our organization so I am going to make this offer:

I currently have 224 pts available for use. I will be happy to make them available to the 2 people who were left out in the cold. You can have these points for $5 per point. Since you've already put up half of the money, then you can use your remainder for these and go on that "MAGICAL" vacation. If these are not enough points for the 2 victims, I should have some more coming in the next week or so.

Please PM me and I will give you my home phone # so we can do the deal. You will NOT have to go to Western Union! You can send me a personal check after I make your reservations.

Happy "magical" vacationing,
Tom

Wow, Tom, how generous you are! As others have said, it's the magic within the people who love the mouse who make the magic happen!

Tom...That's a very kind offer for the two victims of this very unkind PP. I hope things work out the them.

 

[diznyfanatic]

Oh my goodness Tom! What a genuinely kind offer to make.

It makes me really glad that we were able to realize our Disney dream to become DVC members via Tom's company.

I too was hoping for some good news today. I'm actually still really hoping for a positive outcome for Dani & Stacey and will keep sending positive thoughts their way.

Tom, that is one amazingly generous offer! These two are so blessed to have found someone as giving as yourself

 

[calypso*a*go-go]

We all know now, but what about Dani and Stacey?

 

[kaitlin-n-mom]

WOW Tom, this is exactly why I am hooked on this board. The wonderful people I have met here and the kindness that it shown to fellow Diser's.

It took me so long to post because I can't see thru the tears in my eyes. The offer is soooo generous and I really appreicate it. I PM'd Tom and told him that maybe in the future we'll rent from him (at 10 or 11 per point), but for now I don't think we'll get anything on site at this late date. I truly appreciate it. My family is now considering Christmas or shortly after. That will give this all time to settle. Thanks soooooooo much!!!!!!! I just couldn't take points from someone so nice like this. I want Tom to enjoy them with his family. That will make me so very happy.

Get me the tissues...STAT!!!

 

[tacomaranch]

Tom, you have restored my faith in mankind! You are above and beyond hero of the year! I also have tears in my eyes and pray that we can all learn from you.

I have gotten a few PM's asking me who the girl is who did this. I also will not name names but I found out from reading the entire thread. Somewhere in the early teens a person posted to read the Vogelfamily "please hold my hand....again" post. In there everyone can see who this person is. If I can figure it out with a brain injury so can anyone who wants to know also.

I wish the OP and Staci all the best!

God bless you Tom!

I am pretty new here also. Just purchased and waiting to close next month and starting to plan!!! YIPEE!!

I followed this story from the beginning and it made me so sad! It just kept getting deeper and deeper.....

I have prayed that things work out for Stacy and Dani both!! And then when Tom popped in with his offer of points, I couldn't keep quiet any longer!! I have pretty much been lurking in the background since I found this board, but no more!! (I gotta get those post #'s up there!!

I have logged in several times a day to follow this story! And now can't wait until Dani and Stacy both see this!!

I gotta figure out how to get all the cute pics and stuff on....give me time!

hugs to all, Deb

 

[zurgswife]

Tom what a very generous offer...That is great. I'm sure the OP will appreaciate your offer just like Staci....Yes, you quailfy for Mr. Incredible...LOL

 

[DMKEDM]

Tom, your offer is beyond wonderful...I know I don't "deserve" it (I'm going to PM you, but I want to very publicly state how moved and grateful I am to have received it)...

In case people don't know it, Tom "is" the Timeshare Store (sponsor of this site)...it has great reviews elsewhere on the DVC boards; I've not added on (yet???), and made my first purchase thru Disney, so have no preexisting personal experience w/Tom and his folks...but now I'm a loyal supporter, forever and always...if ever I do add on, or sell (how unlikely is that!!!), or if anyone asks me, all my business and referrals now belong to Tom!

Being the "victim" (why did I put that in quotes...I AM a victim!!!!) is no fun...but being the recipient of the kind of sympathy and support and generosity as I've found here almost (not quite, but almost) makes it worth it...

Thank you, Tom; and thank you to my fellow Dis'ers and Disney lovers...I've never questioned the magic, but if I had, this experience on these boards would have eliminated any doubt!!!

Tom, that was very nice! Then again, I've known you to be a nice guy for almost 10 years! Yikes! I've owned my resale from you that long .

 

[disney-super-mom]

Well, as Crush would say....

...Tom, like DUDE, you totally ROCK!

Tom, you have restored my faith in mankind! You are above and beyond hero of the year! I also have tears in my eyes and pray that we can all learn from you.

I wish the OP and Staci all the best!

God bless you Tom!

Exactly my thoughts.

LOVE it!!!

Way to go Tom! That was such a wonderful offer that you made. I, too have been logging in hoping to see a positive resolution to this. Although not from the PP, this in a way IS a positive resolution. You are the best! You made it happen.

Also wanted to add, that my very first post ever on the DIS was in response to a rent/trade post, so low post count does not always mean someone is "bad". Sometimes a great deal is just what a lurker needs to actually get out there and post!

 

[bobbiwoz]

Thank you for being so generous, Tom.

I read enough to know someone got scammed and Tom stepped up to the plate to help out! A very generous offer Tom!

I hope that all works out for the best and BOTH families involved have great vacations!
