sweetpea12 took my money.

Sweetpea12 sold me some hood louvers about a month ago. I asked him how many tabs were broken. He said total of four between the louvers. So I sent him $65.00 for the louvers. It took him over a week to ship them out. Then when I got them the box he put them in was too small. So the louvers were broken in shipping. I contacted him and told him what happened. He told me to send them back and he would refund my money. Sent them back over two weeks ago and waited. Then emailed him asking where my money was. He got all upset and said I would have it september 29th. Still haven't gotten anything. And he wont email me any more.
This is the first time I have gotten burned on this site. Witch is good cause most everyone on this board is great and have helped me put my car together.

Re: sweetpea12 took my money.

Did you check the feedback on sweetpea? He has been getting complaints from multiple users for screwing them over.

Re: sweetpea12 took my money.

Go to the FBI Internet Fraud site and fill out a complaint. They will have the local police department pay him/them a visit. Should shake things up. Using the interent and the mail to defraud people is mail fraud which I believe is a felony. Good luck.

Re: sweetpea12 took my money.

i was really close to buying a piece from them but even after the apology i keep hearing complaints.

I think the admin should look into it and see if they are worth keeping here anymore if the situation does not change.

Re: sweetpea12 took my money.

ha ha one wheel peel i was laughing at your screen name all day today. I hit some sand or something today coming out of a driveway and spun that pesky right rear tire.
i thought "man i should make a catchy screen name that shows my frustration and apparent love affair with my non post rear end" then i thought Crap some one has that! one wheel peel.
man i got to get a posi again, better yet a powertrax (too lazy to build another rear end)

Re: sweetpea12 took my money.

back in spring he came to my house and bought a hatch from my 91 bird. was rust free and when he got here he said oh i am short on money cause i had to fill up the car and a tire blew last week. well i just wanted to get rid of it though so i lost out on 15$. then i was suppose to meet him in august and the day before i was suppose to meet. i came home from vacation, he calls and says he cant meet cause he has no gas. id agree ban them.

Re: sweetpea12 took my money.

Chalk up one more sucker. Yeah, $40 for a power seat track....one month later it still hasn't come (never will). Any more advice on filing a complaint? I plan to do that soon, just wondering if anybody else will. I really should have checked the feedback board, didn't even know one existed. My own dumb fault though.

Re: sweetpea12 took my money.

i know this is an old thread, but when this person was wanting to buy my old 83 firebird, they sent a fake paypal email to me... Google mail is good at catching fake emails like that, and i backed outta the "deal" and this person bashed me and said they were gonna make me look bad on this site... should of said something, but i didn't think about it.

Re: sweetpea12 took my money.

Add one more to their list, I paypaled 125$ for seatbelts and a dash pad. After a few pm's saying "ill send you a tracking number" etc etc, i get nothing. Filed a complaint with paypal, but couldnt get any of my money back. at least i learned to be a lot more careful, but its still a shame to make an otherwise positive resource (TGO) into something where you gotta watch your back all the time.

If it was my $65 he had in his pocket you can bet your hard earned $$ That I would be knocking on his Front door. Just so that he realizes that I know where he rests his head at night, and so he starts looking over his shoulder - if he isn't already.......
