Thanks for the info. I will try contacting Paypal and see if that will help my situation. Also Ill keep you in mind if Im running out of options. Im sure its good to have military intel on your side. The only problem is I dont have the guys address. I wish I would have gotten that before the transaction. That would give me more leverage.

Again thanks for the support everyone. It does make me feel better that there is a great community here that really tries to help others.

 

Well I just got an email from the seller telling me that he has been out of town and that he talked to UPS and the brakes will be here Monday. I will believe it when I actaully see the brakes.

 

be friendly get as much info from him just in case and if that doesnt work. ill see if i can get an address if you have his name.

 

Update:

Well still havent received the brake setup from the guy. I filed a claim with Paypal and they requested either tracking info for the package or my money back from the seller. At this point the guy doesnt email me or paypal back. Paypal tried to pull the money from his account but he doesnt have it and they dont have any other recourse. At this point Im totally pi$$ed and dont know what to do. I cant believe I got scammed out of $700 to this guy.

Bottombunk, think you could help me out? At this point I have no other options and Im not going to let this guy get away with this. From paypal it says his name is Jeremy Strickland. Thats all the info I know about him.

 

Yeah! what they said. "Dey stole our jobs!" im going to find this guy and stone him to death.

 

im calling pops now. and im gonna get a couple other buddies to see what they can do. ill let you know as soon as i get something.

 

do you know what city he is in?

 

ah man. now after hearing this story, i dont feel like buying stuff off the net (places like eBay). GL on gettin the !@#hole.

 

No I dont know where he lives. I feel stupid for not getting his information before making such a big purchase. Guess Im too trustworthy.

I have been watching for him to post a new auction so I can win it and get his info. Paypal wont release his info to me unless I take legal action.

I will try my best to get any other info I can.

Thanks

 

BTW. his Paypal email is differant then his normal email. It is: importnut2005@yahoo.com

 

okay so far a buddy told me to get you to do this. first thing. call the fbi in your area give em as much info about this. they wont do anything unless the dollar amount is hi enough, but they will file it and if there is any other disputes it will add up. then contact him and let him know you called the feds. then do the local authorities. as soon as i find out a location (if) then you contact his ares authorities. keep pressure on him till something develops. if your lucky me or someone on this board will know some cops in his area then its on.
