Angry scammed

Ahhhhhhhhh. So I saw this DSMtuners ad for a 1g AWD catback for $250. I call him and talked to him about it. He said it was in eBay as well, but that he'd end the auction and give it to me anyway. So I payed him $315 shipped through PayPal for my catback. Never came. I know his name, phone number, and city/state so it wont be hard to find his address. I am sooooo pissed right now. I filed a claim with PayPal and they decided in my favor but I didnt get any money back! WTF?!? Anyway, his name is Clay Collins so dont buy shit from him!

Re: scammed

holy shit dude, that's the guy I bought my rims from. I'm not joking.

What exactly went wrong? Our deal went down really smooth. He didn't seem like a scammer at all. Did he just stop replying? Have you given him a chance to try to explain anything? I have been in that guy's apartment. I think I've seen the exhaust in question.

Re: scammed

If he works for deal, shit I would try to get his ass in trouble with the company.Tell the company that hes a fucking scammer and what not.

And yes, I do know how it feels to be scammed.. Mother F'ers...

Kick his ass sea bass!

Re: scammed

I'd have no problem doing that. I live about an hour and a half from Austin. However there will be no violence whatsoever.

Re: scammed

Holy shit... it is a small world. I dont have AIM crunchy, do you have MSN messenger?

Yeah, basically he cut off contact. I paid, he said he would end the auction (I saw it via dsmtuners.com but he listed it on ebay as well) and like a week later he sasid that he would ship it the next day. Well, several emails and phone calls later and no return I figured I should just go through paypal.

Re: scammed

End of June. IIRC it was the 23rd. It took 4 days for the money t get from my account to his, then he said he went on vacation for I think 4 days. He came back and I got the last email from him on like a Tuesday and he said it was getting sent out the next day. No package, no returned calls, no returned emails, and no returned money from Paypal.
