Buyer Beware

There's a guy out of Minnesota named Jason Fritz running a Facebook page selling 3rd gen fbody parts. You'll want to avoid this guy unless you want to get jacked around and maybe even ripped off.

Re: Buyer Beware

tricky1, Would like to hear details of your dealings with him. I personally have bought three items from him and had zero issues with fast shipping. Bow_Tied is right, he does sell a bunch of stuff.

Re: Buyer Beware

I too would like to hear more details on your experience. I do Agree that he can be spirited with his emotions at times, he does get mad and stressed from time to time. But that's just life. I have bought a lot of parts from him over the years, even as far back when he used to work/sell parts with Brett. Only problem I ever had was a crack sun visor mirror but that was usps's problem. IIRC he refunded me my like $9 or whatever the cost it was.

Re: Buyer Beware

Bought an item and asked when it would be shipped. Was told whenever they got around to it. I asked how about the following business day since it was midday Friday and I figured maybe that would be reasonable. Was told they'd get to it whenever and if I didn't like it I could request a refund. When I said OK and asked for the refund he blew up and started a expletive filled confrontation. I've seen other people have problems with him on the Facebook site he runs before. He bans them from the page before they can make public the details of what transpired. You may have luck dealing with him but I'm just letting everyone know he's got issues and may screw you. If you decide to do business with him I wish you luck. I realize how hard it is to get some parts for the cars we love so much.

Re: Buyer Beware

Never bought, but as a seller of parts, he undercuts me and others regularly, and brags about using PayPal F&F only as payment. Doesn't feel it's necessary to declare to IRS- I do, because I don't ever want to be in trouble. I do very well on eBay, and plan on getting back on here more as well.
If I can't get to something, I let someone know.

Well I warned ya ??? Shame you got bit by lou the scammer, He's got a BAD rep in the third gen community

just do a search on his name lol

Years ago he used me for a favor which made him over $2000 and he ripped me off $300 cash, after I called him out he went online slandering my name and reputation.

He's a cook county sheriff's deputy out of Skokie IL county courthouse and He was living in Itasca, But Last I found out he moved to another town

Guess the "heat" is on to him

Ya it sucks you were probably his 1000th victim, But It's everyone's responsibility to do their research and due diligence when making such a high dollar purchase with a stranger

Des Plaines ??? try again he lives in Wauconda

If you feel he committed a crime against you I would message a MOD on TGO and contact internet brands, IL LEO'S and State attorney general's office

Crooked FILTH like him should be behind bars NOT in front of them wearing a badge
