I came to the post office today to receive the package and I had to ------- pay 23 dollars for COD and ----. WTH is that ----? I paid the full price shipped via paypal. Okay, no big deal, maybe he forgot. I bring the package home and open it up.... WTF? This aint what I wanted. A Rusted, seized, corroded, cracked, broken, funky Turbo..nothing like in the picture and what he told me:

I'M LOOKING FOR A FULL REFUND FOR ALL THE FEES I HAD TO PAY TO GET THIS PIECE OF ----. Fix this problem and redeem yourself.

 

to me that guy always sounded fishy.

 

Just file paypal. That's one of the shitty chrysler T3's with the weird flange. The local junkyard sells them for $30 and nobody even takes them.

 

that's fucked up. not even the same turbo pictured either

 

well this is good news i messaged him recently on a turbo sry u got the short end of the stick.

 

That's fucked up .

 

Judging by how he speaks i would have avoided it to begine with.Sounds like a hood rat.Sorry to hear about you getting burned though.File quickly.

 

I'm giving him a day to respond...

 

Hey bro, why didnt you come and talk to me first i sent you out the wrong turbo. i was soppse to send a turbo out cod to another guy who wanted that one becasue it was messed up.. i must have sent him yours by gettign the boxes mixed up.. You should have notified me asap instead of going public bro.. Any way pm me and we can get this situated i didnt intend on this to happen

 

Yeah right. I agreed to trade a t3 for his z6 head. We agreed on using tracking numbers of which I supplied him mine. He told me that he didn't get one and sent it usps parcel post. 1 week went by so I called up USPS and had them hold my turbo. 2 weeks and nothing. So I told him I had it sent back to me because something wasn't right. He was talking nonsense on the 6th. On the 8th he posted his head up for sale with pics date 1/8/06.

How the hell did you send it to me and it didn't arrive after 2 weeks, and in the period of 24hrs you had it back in your hands to take pics for sale?!?!?!

Ban the scammer!!!
