How many people saw this ad up a while ago?
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=333488
well this guy was very quick to respond to my emails but after he got my check and cash it he was no where to be found. i've been emailing him almost daily, every way i could but no response. So what should i do? it's been almost two weeks! |
Not much to do other than let others know. Keep after him with emails.
It's a bit suspicious that none of the photos of that steering wheel were of the actual part he was selling. They were all brochure/advertising photos.
Some of the other things he is selling seem a bit suspicious too. For example, the ash tray pictured is in far poorer shape than his description. |

| thanks george, i have alot of ideas to on how to atleast trick this guy. since i see he doesn't really use the forums, i'm pretty sure he doesn't read them. so if some of you can do me a favor and email him with a fake interest on one of his products, so i atleast i know he is avoiding only my emails. just to see if he responds. thanks |

Hey Ricky - that guy burned a lot of people. there was a big thing in here a while back. If you can, go to www.aircoolers.org he used to be on there posting. He sells shit at the local shows out here.

|

This guy is a crook!!! My situation isn't as bad as others. I was puchasing the Maltese Cross Belt Buckle for mounting purposes. I'm only out $14.00 but it still pisses me off. He will be in a load of deep S#!t when he gets a knock at his door from the federal authorities. I have registered the complaints with the postal system for mail fraud and I was informed to give him on final warning for record purposes before I file a complaint with the FBI for internet fraud.
Good luck to all to get this crook off the streets. |

I wish I would have seen this thread sooner. He just ripped me off for $25.00.
Not a lot, but I would like to kick his a$$ for it. |

You won't get much help from the postal system. They are too busy with national security issues to worry about you. Call the IRS and turn him in for internet fraud and not reporting sales income. You will have triggered an audit and that should piss him off anyway. The IRS is very interested on unreported income.  Tell him first and see if he backs down. I did it and it worked for me. Rudy does not want to mess with the Feds.
