Default Scammer Alert: d16turd

I purchased a set of DSM 450cc blue top injectors from d16turd on Dec. 1st that was listed in the "For Sale" section. (Found here https://www.homemadeturbo.com/forum/...?topic=50224.0 )

I first get this message that seemed kinda odd, but seeing as how PayPal does screw things up sometimes I said ok.

hey ill send you the paypal address when i get off work . im gonna have you send it to my moms account since mine is messed up right now . but yes they are blue tops 450cc injectors i can send you a pic of them if you would like . later erik
My bad... im just to busy ....the paypal addy is moonrakker77@earthlink.net ... heres a pic. lmk when you send it.thanks later
After sending him a message asking if he got them out he sends me this on the Dec. 7th:

hey i went to send out the dsm injectors today but i couldnt find your address in your paypal information. shoot me your addy so i can et these dent to you thanks later erik
A few days pass and I ask again if he got them out. So I get this on the Dec. 13th.

yea i got them out i almost sent them to the wrong address but got it staighten out . i left all the paper work at the shopp so ill send you the tracking number in the morning . thanks erik
Days go by and I send him various messages asking if he got them out and telling him I am going to file with paypal. On Jan. 5th I receuve this message.

you should have received them buy now . i dont know what happen to them . you didnt happen to get a hard drive in the mail did you ? i think i sent the wrong things to the wrong places. but since you havent recieved them yet ill send another set out in the morning priorty mail and send you a tracking number. or if you would like ill call you and give you the tracking number. my number is 419-612-3393. sorry about the inconvince but i think i messed up last time i sent stuff out and the other guy swears i didnt send him any injectors. but for it taking so long ill just send you another set . i appoligize and feel free to give me a call tomorrow after 12 and i should have a tracking number for you. later erik
Needless to say no injectors...and no answer.

So d16turd if you have anything to say please respond or give me my money back.

---- I must be bored. I just called him and he said he shipped them Friday Priority so you should see them in a few days. I don't see him scamming you if he gave you his number, but we'lll see.

Hrmmm....weird. Never got an answer when I called. Even if I receive the package (which I doubt I will, probably end up "lost in the mail" or some BS.), I wouldn't recommend doing business with him. Paid over a month and a half ago and havn't recieved anything. I have messaged him and e-mailed him many times since he was "sending some more out" and never got a reply.

Actually I did call him and told him I was Doug. :P I was going to go with my usual death threats, but I wanted to see if he was going to be an *** or not. :P

i am friends with erik and i do remember him shipping the injectors in dec, he took them out of a spare engine right in front of me. maybe they did get shipped to the wrong address and that person was lazy and didnt feel like straightening it out. i do remember seeing him box the ---- up and run it to the post office though, maybe next time you should insist on shipping insurance you cant get fucked over if something happens to your ---- .
