No and you can only cry wolf enough times and get a bait of it. He knows and we all know where this is going. I feel its time for him to bow out, be a man, say he lied(if he did)and screwed up and leave peacefully.

I agree with everything here except, the customer is always right. I sell and buy online all the time, and I work retail. Nothing could be further from the truth. Scammers are scammers and unfortunately they are on both sides. This has nothing to do with the situation at hand, just my $0.02.

Re: cam91rs1
Some things are just easy to work out. If both parties are legit than there shouldn't be a problem finding a resolution. If both parties are legit than posting helpful info to get past them problem is always a good idea. I keep try to keep my "opinions" to myself unless I have dealt directly with someone. (when my opinion should carry some weight.) Good or Bad, Like it or Not - I call it as I see it. ANYONE shipping a package with no insurance or tracking should expect this type of problem. Insurance should be MANDATORY buying OR selling !!
Being an "official" of any kind in this forum is not a good idea. I buy and sell to many parts to be involved in any kind of official role. I currently have a 5 Camaro habit to support and creating a conflict-of-interest here at TGO is probably not in my best interest. I don't just rip cars apart and sell the pieces............ and when I am selling pieces, people get - or get better - then they are expecting.
If there is ANY other forum that could use some attention - count me in.
Here's the link for filing a USPS Postal Insurance claim. I was working off memory so access the site for details.

Other than being contacted this morning, with a request for my email address (that was already posted), I'm still waiting.

Since you're familiar in this area and have brought up some shortcomings in this section on different occasions, I wanted to give you a chance at the challenge to see what you could do with the situation.
Really need someone (or two) with experience, understanding and fairness since both Buyer and Seller can be a Scammer and both can take advantage of any situation. I know there is more leaning toward axing some Sellers, but need to also keep in mind that those who may have a prior negative feedback (legit or not) could just as easily be taken advantage of by a future transaction in the attempt to get something for nothing. Scams exist on both sides and can happen with anyone. That's why it's mandatory to have common sense and some fairness as it goes both ways.
Based on some occasional messages I receive from members checking to see if member A is the same as member B, and when I find the two aren't even remotely linked, it tells me that speculation is high. We need to keep some of that speculation in check, while still trying to be pro-active and use best effort judgment.
I would like to do some clean-up in the Classifieds section, particularly the Parts section, with no bias toward buyer, seller or member as to who gets axed, restricted, warned, etc.
This may be one of the more clear cut cases as it has shown a trend, but, ideally, would want to act quicker (with best effort accuracy) to prevent any long-term abuse. I think some of those who have been vocal and upset would be in for a bit of surprise that it's not as easy, with what you have to work with, as some might think.

tracking numbers alone do wonders, like i said before if there is a tracking number you really cant lose...if your to lazy to do that you probably shouldnt be shipping
insurance is nice...but not necessary with most shipping companys, fedex for example will cover the first 100.00 of everything sent. if it gets stolen off a porch, lost, damaged, etc... if the part is worth more than that it wouldnt hurt to have thats for sure
buyers...use pay pal, i cant stress that enough, you can get your money back from them, dont wait forever to do so. if the item doesnt ship within a week or two and you get no response from seller...file a claim

JT, I believe it would only be fair to suspend his account temporarily until he can get his new camera and show proof. He has a terrible track record of these "post office issues". These good people have paid hard earned money for their parts they never got. Just my .02

Re: cam91rs1
As someone who sells several 100's of parts a year. It is 100% responsibility of the seller to make sure the parts arrive and in good condition. USPS delivery confirmation costs .50 cents. FedEx and UPS use tracking #'s with every shipment. There is no reason anyone should not receive some sort of a tracking # with every shipment. Now if he had a tracking # and the parts never arrive , obviousley then there are different steps that need to be taken. Definatley cam91rs1's resonsibility to make it right..It seems to be the same thing with all of his complaints though..

Excellent words Steve. It is ALWAYS someone elses fault. These fine members on here probably cant afford to be "loaning" him money and not get the parts they paid for. Some seem to get a refund and some seem to get the run around.

Re: cam91rs1
We've Suspended Cam's account at this time. May reconsider once we receive the necessary paperwork, from Cam, about the last transaction. However, regardless of paperwork, if the person didn't receive their parts from Cam, it's Cam's responsibility to resolve. I think Cam should make things right with buyers and take selling Parts on here more seriously in order to be fully reinstated. I started to feel a bit stringed on myself by Cam.

Re: cam91rs1
It was suggested we atleast Suspend his account. There may be a chance that if Cam wants to resume on here, that a Suspend account with an option to be reinstated - IF he makes things right - is a better option to those involved than simply Banning Cam, keeping him out, and thus giving up. If you had a bad transaction with him, you'd probably want a chance that could allow in a result of being refunded/resent the part.

Re: cam91rs1
Ideally, I would like to work to improve upon this and have stated as such. I would like to see some assist. So far, though, only 2 (two) people have stepped up with any offer. I could post an Announcement with the request, but if those haven't read this topic and my request, they may not be the best candidate to be updated and aware of what's going on.
That said, when people don't utilize the tools made available to them (iTrader, for example), or go ahead with a transaction despite a few past warnings on here (and there was warnings on here), that's really their decision and taking the risk by weighing the risks. We will never really be able to prevent bad transactions, ultimately, it's a risk everyone takes and they must decide if the risk is worth it. If we were like PayPal or eBay, where a degree of personal information is collected, we could certainly be more proactive rather than reactive.

Re: cam91rs1
yeah there are definitly warnings...i remember reading a thread on him awhile back before this one(which is why i clicked on it again in the first place)
then again no one ever thinks it will be them that gets scammed...ive bought something from fazttoyz13(think thats the right name) and i didnt have a problem where as others have. it was a low price part though so even had i been scammed it wouldnt have been as bad
1. could we not gather some info for the sake of this section of the board, i mean yes it could be faked like anywhere else but might help
2. maybe make a new sticky about pay pal and how to protect yourself with it and shipping options?
cant tell you how many of these threads i have read where people take to long to file claims or dont know that you can

Re: cam91rs1
lol i was being optimistic 
i know all about that, i dont know how many times i see things repeated
at least we could use that info to copy and paste instead of typing it every time...if i get a chance this weekend ill look into it
how much info is filled out when you make an account, its been so long since i did

Re: cam91rs1
For what it's worth, I just got my part that I ordered from him today (11/11/10). Looks like on the box it was sent out the 8th, I had an email from him on the 5th that it was on its way. I had to do this part via email since his account was suspended, after he had told me it was sent out on the 1st!
So, it was slow service, but I did get the part I was after, in good shape. he said he was throwing in a door switch, but it's either still in Florida or hiding really well in the shipping peanuts.

Re: cam91rs1
It appears I made a slight mistake. When his account was Suspended, I forgot that I put it for X days. The logs show his account was automatically reinstated yesterday as those X days had passed. I just noticed this and manually locked his account. I re-locked his account since I've yet to hear from him or the other party involved about any resolution. Even then, he needs to clean-up on his practices.
I removed his several posts he made yesterday and today, as he quickly jumped back in to start selling again. What's even more, there were several lining up to buy from Cam91rs1 despite this thread, his track record and his Suspended account. It shows people either are taking chance knowing the risks, or they aren't doing research. That's why I've said, first and foremost, people need to protect themselves and do their homework.
Cam91rs1, you're going to have to clean-up your behavior and make things right before you'll be reconsidered.

as jt stated doing deals through email is at your own risk...and is very risky. I(as many others would) recommend you try to stray away from that.
those packing peanuts are such a pain and so useful all at the same time, ive lost things in boxes that way

I dumped the whole box of peanuts out and there was no door switch, I'm going to give him the chance to live up to his word or not on that.

Re: cam91rs1
whats stopping him from just making a new email address like a yahoo or gmail and making a new name on here and starting his crap all over again? i havent bought from him and see that hes offering free parts with paid shipping now but after reading all this.. no way.. im an honest guy that is trying to get rid of parts on here too and none of it is moving.. i dont think im asking to much and the parts i have are in really great shape inless stated other wise.. if there were less people like him maybe the honest people like me could actually sell these parts and make the money we need to make the changes to our cars that we work so hard for..

Re: cam91rs1
I saw another post where he scammed somebody else with a trans swap, about $1300 worth if he sold both complete swaps. Hes going down with a bang now. I think a lawsuit should come out of this. Maybe he will bring his "paperwork" to court to prove he shipped his parts.

Re: cam91rs1
I would like to post my experience with cam91rs1. I consider it to be positive, though not entirely. I was interested in a leather e-brake handle, 91-92 cigarette lighter, and radio bezel he had posted in a "free, just pay shipping" thread. I PayPal'd him $10 for those three things. This was a while ago, so I don't remember how quickly I received everything, but I don't remember it being an unreasonable amount of time. The radio bezel I just wanted as a spare, but is in great condition. The leather e-brake handle is in good condition. The only problem was the cigarette lighter - where the plastic meets the metal is a little melted, and I think it messed up my lighter socket...since I started using it the lighter socket has caused my ACC fuse to blow three times - once with the lighter in, once with my GPS plugged in, and once with my GFs massaging seat cushion.
Like I said, I consider it overall positive. I'm not trying to stick up for him or vouch for him or take sides or anything, I simply want to add my experience to the thread.

Re: cam91rs1
Wow i was emailed about jared again asking to help people out that he has ripped off. I had dealings with this guy over two years ago and here i am again. I dont even own a 3rd gen. WHY ARE PEOPLE STILL BUYING FROM HIM SHOULD BE A HUGE STICKY ON HIM. Be aware when i delt with him his paypal was in the red so he could not even refund me till he jacked someone else to get back into the black.

Re: cam91rs1
I don't want to bash him yet.
I feel a little better today about purchasing from cam91rs1. One good thing is he answers my calls most of the time, so that makes me feel a little better, even though what he says has not matched what he's done.
The $800 transaction occurred through PayPal, via another forum, under the same screen name, then I read all this stuff about him here, and I was like, "uh oh."'
He's been telling me he'll give me tracking numbers, but no go.
It's been nearly a month.
I finally got the correct packing/shipping place from him today. I called, and one box is packed and shipping out today....but no tranny is there yet. The lady there said he told her he would be there today with the tranny. We shall see. I have no idea what all is in the packed box, but it weighs 60 pounds. Guess I'll see when it arrives.
$800 didn't come easy for me. I work my frickin' butt off. I hope the tranny and pedals arrive at Hawks one day. If they ever get it, they're going to rebuild it for me and do the pedal mod on the 4th gen pedals for my swap.

Re: cam91rs1
He got the parts to the shipping place. I called the place, and all the parts the lady there said she packed are the parts that I paid for.
So far so good....he was just sketchy when I spoke to him on the phone. It was weird, like he was hiding something. And I don't know why he kept telling me the parts were dropped off at the shipping place when they weren't yet.
It's ok to be honest and tell me that there have been delays. Sheesh.
As long as all the parts arrive and in fair condition (which is what I expect with older tranny parts) then I can't really talk bad about the guy at all.
And as long as Hawks tells me the T56 isn't cracked open or something.....he he he. That would suck.

All the stuff he said I was getting are what he shipped out, so all is well.

Re: cam91rs1
I'm going to jump on an old post here. I ran into this guy on the Trans Am Lovers page on Facebook. He had a wrecked car to sell parts on. I need a new steering wheel and the pictures he had were of a good one. $100 dollars and 6 months later and no dice. Wish I had seen this before hand. His name on facebook is Jared and here is his page:
Jared Convertito
He also has a record here:
Jared Convertito Mug shot
some guys are just A-holes.

Re: cam91rs1
I'm beginning to feel like I've been had too. I wish I'd done research on this guy before I sent money. Paid him via PAYPAL for an item on 7/18. 11 days later, Still no tracking number, no parts, and no response to my two email requests for a tracking number. I paid for the same item from another person I found on the "parts for sale" section of TGO. Got the part on 7/25. This is not how I run my business. I'm surprised to learn that he is flaky. I'll keep you all posted of what transpires.

Re: cam91rs1
Yes dude is a scammer. I actually bought a '92 T/A convertible from him back in late April. Got the car the first week of May (He's in Florida, I'm in California so the car was shipped). In the very first e-mail I asked him about the lower air dams and the front GFX. He said they were all there and that he had replaced the GFX with new pieces. I had him remove the air dams and put them in the trunk so the shipping company wouldn't break them. When the car arrived, the air dam pieces weren't in there and the passenger's side GFX was broken. It is obvious the break was not recent as the broken area was weathered. I contacted him immediately and he blamed the shippers. I filed a claim by his request(even though I new it wouldn't be approved).
He said the guy he works with forgot to put the air dams in the car and that he would send them to me. After about a week and a half (with me texting him about every other day) he said he shipped the air dams. After another week, I asked him for the tracking number because I hadn't received anything. He made excuses about how it was at home and he works late and the usual . After a month I started to text him between two and four times a day asking for the tracking number or proof that he sent it because I didn't believe he sent it. He told me to find a set myself, which I said fine as long as he pays for them. I ended up find a good condition pair for $100. Surprisingly, after four days of texting literally every hour on the hour, he actually sent me the money via paypal. It took me over a month of texting him every day to get to this point.
I then told him I expected him to honor his word about the GFX. He flat refused to accept responsibility as he claimed he replaced them last year. It quickly went south from there and did not remain civil. That was a couple days before I had to head out on the USS Vinson (where I am right now). When I get home, I'll probably harass him some more about them. There were a few other minor issues that I had with him (like the "mint" engine that had an oil leak from the oil pressure sending unit-easy fix). I can accept if I didn't ask about it (like the missing sun visors) or something like that, but I specifically asked about the GFX and they arrived broken. Its pretty simple to me. Just man up. Some people just don't have any integrity.
My advice to you Lon, is to just keep texting/calling him about once a day or two. Let him know that you aren't going to go away until he pays up or delivers the part. That's how he gets away with stuff. He knows that most people will just cut their losses and go away. Too bad there isn't anyone in the Tampa Bay/Tarpon Springs area that is willing to go and "retrieve" the items that he owes people.

Re: cam91rs1
OK, I can finally post the conclusion of the transaction. Jared posted that he was parting out a 89 GTA. I sent him a message inquiring if he had the part I needed. He eventually got back to me that he had one and we agreed on a price and that PAYPAL was OK for payment method.
7/18 I sent the payment by PAYPAL.
Jared sent me a message on Wednesday 7/20 that he'd shipped the item, but no tracking number was sent.
On Friday 7/29 I requested that he send the tracking number since I still hadn't received the item.
Jared: "I'll get it for u in the morn its n my desk at shop idk whats taking so long"
Saturday I sent two more requests for the tracking number (morning & night).
Monday morning, yet another request for the tracking number.
Monday night, since no tracking number was rec'd or Item I requested a refund.
Jared replied a little over an hour later: "calm down i just got home from work i dont live on fb when im at work and i dont get it on my hone"
He finally sent me a tracking number Tuesday morning 8/2. However the tracking number did not show up on USPS.
Tuesday: still no pkg. I requested for him to verify the tracking number is correct.
Wednesday morning; Jared "yep sure is thats the number on the receipt idk what u want me to do"
Today: Yea! Package is FINALLY here. The tracking number is different by one digit than what he sent me, (explains why USPS had no info). Here's the interesting thing. The USPS shipping label shows it shipped on 8/1 not 7/20.
Me to Jared "OK it tests good. Just a suggestion for the future. If you don't have the chance to ship it, just let the customer know. You told me it shipped 7/20. The label shows it shipped to me on 8/1. It would have saved us both a lot of needless grief."
Jared's response: "i shiped it when i told u i shipped it!!!"
Sent a picture of the shipping label to Jared along with this message: "OK sorry, someone at USPS must have switched the label to one that reads August 1st for the one that was originally on the package. I don't know what their motivation would be to do that. Also yelling at a customer? "!!!" Not a way to earn repeat business. Thanks for the item. But to be honest I've never yelled at a customer in person of by text/email. Not a strategy I'd use. Take care"
Jared: "whatever never been called a lier b4 over a 25 dollar part enjoy it"
Two mistakes I'll admit I made. First mistake, Jared requested I either send the PAYPAL payment as a gift, (so he doesn't pay the fees) or bump the agreed amount by the 4% he'd pay in fees. OK, I sent it as a gift. He saved $1 in fees. However I failed to realize I now lack any recourse via PAYPAL if the deal goes south.
Mistake two, I failed to do ANY research on him. If I had researched his user name (wihich I did later to discover in shock that he's had a less than stellar history of selling here and elsewhere).
I never would have pursued the transaction had I known of his flaky history. This could have been the beginning of a good relationship, since this item is something I'll continue to need and he initially claimed he had "boxes of them". Sadly that dwindled to just the one. Ultimately I'm happy I have the item available for my customers, but it was a heck of a lot of work!

Re: cam91rs1
So he won't have a car up for COTM anytime soon I'm guessing? lol
It is a shame. I've had some great transactions with some folks and absolutely horrible ones with others.
I'm pretty sure I had an issue with this same guy like gosh 12-13 years ago when he was in Jersey. Sold me a "as brand new dash" but shipped a completely destroyed one and tried to blame UPS. Eventually I got monies back via Pay Pal, but it was still a huge PITA.
