I ordered some parts from VDO Specialties after some long research for the products and decided to go with the company which was in my state. Too bad I didnt research the actual business. The product I was looking for were Messiah 2 pro modchips and I saw them @ VDO specialties for a good price so I decided to buy 2 of them. I placed my order and paid for 2nd day air shipping on an item which was available.
The following day after I placed my order, I recieved a call from Mike and he told me that if I wanted to recieve the items in a timely manner that I would have to pay with a credit card instead of a check. I gave him all my credit card info and the order was processed. I waited and waited and my chips never came. I emailed him back and he told me that the delay was due to some wires which were back ordered so I told him to send them without the wires.
Again I waited it was about a week which had past when I was becoming frustrated and instead of just cancelling I decided to order two more and pay next day shipping after I confirmed with Mike via email that I would recieve them the next day. Big mistake. I did recieve my second order on time but happend to notice that the chips charasteristics were different from the ones I was told I was buying. I emailed him to ask him if the Mods were Messiah clones and he told me that they were original Messiah 2 pro chips.
I then asked him to send me a wiring diagram so that I may install them and then he replied that I needed to sign a letter saying that I cant recieve my money for my products back for any reason whatsoever and that he would not give me the diagrams until I signed and scanned my signature with the statement. I decided to search via the net for the diagrams and happend to find the exact chips that I was told were Messiahs and to my surprise they were clones.
I recieved my other 2 about a week later and by that time it was too late. I gave Mike a call at the number which appeared on my caller ID to ask him a couple of questions about the authenciticy of the chips and why I was charged for second day air on my first order if I recieved it almost 2 weeks later, and he threatened me as to how I got the number etc. Telling me never to call there again and that he was going to get lawyers on me etc. I am so pissed off that I got ripped off, I know I signed the statement but then again I was told I was getting a product that was different from the one I got. Is there anything I can do now?
