First thing, report him to the mods, then IL PD!

 

Umm dude, hate to tell you, but Im the one that bought the turbo charger setup off of him about a month ago... Matter of fact, I couldnt use it so I sold it on ebay last week. It wouldnt fit centerbolt heads. And $600??? He had it listed for like $250 in the classifieds... it was a Rajay e10 turbo, turbo manifold, and "new" turbo cam which was just a used cam which had no specs. Is that the setup? Heres a link to my auction... keep in mind, the picture he showd me the turbo and manifold were painted orange, but I beadblasted them before I sold it: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2466420595

Anyway, unfortunatley I dont have any of his information anymore because I had to format the computer and didnt back up my email, but I might acually have something on my work account. Ill get back to you in this post tomorrow, mods, please dont delete this.

Maybe report this issue to ebay? And check his sellers list and email his buyers. I had a guy try and scam me for a mountain bike, I actually found his name and phone number, which was an incorrect number. SO I called information since I had his name and called that mohter****er! got my cash back!! HOPE it works for you!

 

yes very good idea man, you would be surprised how helpful past people that have done dealings with a person can be.

Hey 88 WS6 TransAm GTA, if it turns out to be the same guy, why dont you look to see if you have something with his address on it laying around from your transaction with him?

 

eBay wouldnt be able to do anything because it wasnt an auction he bought the turbo from. The auction you see up there is MY auction, selling the setup I had bought from Shane.

Anyway, I just checked my work email and luckily, Ive still got his address! mettalicirocz, youve got a PM, hope the info helps, keep us updated!

 

Well, I think you could get a lot of help from ebay. You can get his phone number, address, which is required to be a seller on ebay. I think you the actual buyer could get these items. I forgot exactly how, But I took such measures and go the seller's name and address. I called his number, but it was a "no longer in service" number. BUT, I had his name and address. I called information and got his REAL phone number and took care of the problem.

 

Thing is, he didnt buy it through eBay, so they would NOT be able to help you in any way, and will NOT give out information if your not the buyer or seller.

 

no, but you could......

 

Ah, theres some confusion... see, I bought it off of him through the TGO classifieds. When I realized it wouldnt work, I personally sold it on ebay. That auction you see is my auction selling it.

 

Was the money order a U.S. Postal m.o.? Did you send it to him in the mail? If so, he is guilty of mail fraud. Turn him over to the U. S. Post Office Inspector General.

 

Maybe Dirk can help this poor lad out!??

 

ya it was a postal and Ive filed a claim but I have to wait 2 mnths form the date I sent it which was 2/6/04, thnx for all the input if worst comes to worst ill just go to his house with bat in hand

 

nothing like commiting a felony AFTER you have created a paper trail.
