In December I contacted Alex at Scannamania for a repair on 2 Realistic PRO34 scanners. These are special scanners that receive frequencies no longer manufactured on private scanners.
I asked if one can be repaired and use other for parts if needed. He agreed and I shipped them postal, insured. They arrived safely and about a month later I contacted him. He said he needed $50 for labor and will check them out.
I sent payment on March 03
Paypal transaction ID#63S33862GH995861D.
Time passed on and I contacted him again. He was very short about giving the status of repairs, but did mention about an additional $100 to complete repairs.
I began feeling unsure about his intensions after asking for more money at that point and advised him that once repairs were completed and radios returned I will pay balance of $100 immediately. He agreed to that arrangement.
I then explained specifically in detail to contact me by phone when repairs were completed. I gave him my phone number and again explained the importance of informing me of shipping prior to sending. This was to make sure they could be tracked and properly insured for safety. I would feel more safe about sending the balance due as well if he followed directions. I was told by him that this would be done as I asked.
Time went on again without hearing from him and it happen to slip from my memory for a couple months. This caused me to loose my e-mail account we communicated with too. I managed to do some hunting around and located his e-mail address and opened another e-mail address for myself.
I e-mailed him immediately following the issue above by asking where my radios were. This was long after him saying that they would be done soon. I am able to stay calm through this BS he has given for a while now because I wanted my property returned.
He then responds back by e-mail telling me he sent them back already. Ever get that immediate feeling that you wish they were in arms reach of you. I asked for a packing list, tracking number, date, receipt, anything to show that he was not full of crap. This guy is obviously very stupid or a full time crook and maybe both. The phone call obviously didn't happen either as you see.
Get this stuff!
He said he threw the shipping paperwork away because I did not contact him. Then next said, he stopped making calls to customers and also just ships their stuff back with no record keeping. He said that once he completes the work, pops in in the mail box, correct address or not he is no longer responsible for it. He even tried to blame me for it getting lost and then mentioned he don't care where a package ends up and will not attempt to locate it.
I tried to get some kind of truth to come out of his mouth by quoting his own words he wrote in e-mails to me. This proved he was fabricating and never sent the radios at all. He never intended to return my items and they probably ended up in a meth lab for payment.
He even had to nerve to use an excuse I was harassing him. He could not figure out the reason I was still in contact with him was because he did not do what he was suppose to do. He had my property and service fees and I had nothing.
