Negative Trader Feedback - Stangeater01 has stiffed me for $5300

http://ls1tech.com/forums/parts-classifieds/1446912-aluminum-402-intake-oil-pan.html. Here is the thread I sent mr Richard enright (stangeater01) $5300 for this engine on august 28th. He keeps promising me he will pull it out and ship it to me. I have waited almost four months and have received nothing but broken promises. I email him and pm him all the time, all he does is make up excuses. He has not answered me in over two weeks. This is bull. If he does not have time to pull a engine and ship it, he never should of have sold it in the first place

You need to contact the authorities in both your location as well as his. Thats complete bull shit to get taken for an amount that high.....No one should be cheated out of a dollar let alone $5300:eek2:

You need to contact the authorities in both your location as well as his.
Typically this is a matter that the police will not touch. They will say this is a civil matter. If you had a pattern of several cases where they thought this guy was a con artist, then they would likely take an interest.

If you had a pattern of several cases where they thought this guy was a con artist, then they would likely take an interest.with it being that amt of money i bet they would take interest,try calling the DA in his area and give them the information,they may contact him and that would prob. scare the shit out of him, my friend got this done and he only got cheated out of a couple hundred dollars

sounds like he fell on hard times and needed some quick cash, unfortunetly honest people will turn dirty to take care of them and there family, with all his good trades and for a bad one like this it sounds like thats what happend.
glad you getting money back, I almost bought this motor but glad I didnt now

^ i almost did to, what a freaking homo, op i would have pressed charges a long time ago, i dont care if he is having a hard time or not that doesnt mean screw someone out of that kind of cash,i would have been at that guys door for that kind of money, i would have took a tow truck and said motor or your car you pick

I bought a as style hood from him a while back with no problem but didn't pay him until I picked up the hood since I am local. I know of a few people that have had good experiences with their shop but the one time o was supposed to go to them other than the hood, I couldn't get in touch with anyone when I showed up for my appointment.

Glad to see your getting your money back. In 2010, I found a engine on here with tfs 225 heads, crane gold race rockers, was such a good deal I was a little worried I would get stiffed.
Sent the guy 4500 in Paypal, later that day he sent me pics of it being loaded on truck with shipping info. Was pulled out of car in one day, shipped from California. Had it within a week. Engine ran good also, don't let this transaction discourage you from buying things on this website.

He cant, hes already promised a loan to me. You can get one after I feel like paying him back.
In all seriousness, Im super glad your getting your money back. That could have really turned into a huge hassle.

anyone who sends that kind of money through the internet is just gambling, notice I didnt say dumb or stupid or anything like that. I know I couldnt do it, if I dont have my product within 10 days, Im reversing through PP on day 11.
