In July I won an auction for a wirng harness from this guy. Well, we sent off our $ in the form of a Postal Money order like the guy specified. He had perfect feedback up until that point. I guess we were the one's to change his mind or something. From the time I sent the $, he quit sending out parts. I wasn't the only one this guy scammed. There were at least 6 or 7 other people that filed negative feedback on him after me. The part that sucks most is that my part was $24.99, one penny under ebays buyer protection program. So, ebay couldn't do a thing for me. I still filed, so hopefully he'll have a strike against him.
He is now no longer a member, but I thought I'd file this anyway, just in case someone wins an auction and this guy's name comes up. They may want to think twice about sending the money, they may never get what they paid for. I followed up on the Postal Money order, and from what I can read on it, it was cashed for somewhere called "instant pool cards" or something like that. The post office's copy isn't that great. Maybe someone that lives around there can clarify if that's a business or what? I filed a complaint w/the postal inspector, hopefully that gets me somewhere. Going to the sheriff here, he says it's just a civil matter. I think I'm going probably have to try small claims. At least that way I might have a judgement. I'm sure a guy from CA isn't going to drive all the way to SD over $50 (with court costs). (especially if he's scamming people)
