Default does anyone know O2bqwik?..im bout to get screwed

I paid this guy for a set of bogarts on the forth of this month, on the 10th he said that they were in the car ready to ship and then he fell off the face of the earth. needless to say i haven't seen my wheels.

if no one knows him is there anyone from Jackson TN that maybe can find me something, I've got a phone number but its been busy everytime i call.

his name is Chester Gadberry II, but he goes by "chet"

thanks
-Brandon

sorry if im not allowed to post this here

You might want to post something in the regional forums. That really worked for me in the past when I got screwed. Good luck.

I bought springs from him at the same time, and they arrived on Monday although he has NOT returned any messages since I sent the money on the fourth as well.

I located him in a little town outside of Jackson, Tennessee with address and phone number, but the phone is either always busy or answered by a machine.

What is the little town outside of Jackson? Do you have an adress? I work and know several people in Jackson. May can help you out if i can find him. I think this may be the same guy that tried to rook a budy of mine on the same wheels. D-10 wheels i think....

i would say give it some time, thats not that much time to not respond really, but yeah posting in the regional forums has worked for me in the past, this is why i make anyone i buy from post their item on ebay and then i buy it through ebay so that paypal protects me in case they never deliver it, costs a little more for ebay fees but worth it to me

good luck man!

That's the guy.

And I think two weeks is sufficient time to respond to someone, especially with the amount of money at stake.

swing by and see if the silver camaro out front is still sitting on some bogart d-10's haha

for real though im not saying anything bad about the guy other than he really should keep in better contact with people, last i heard he was going to " shoot me a tracking number tonight" and that was a week ago. the wheels could very well be on the way but he told me they should ship friday the 6th.... kinda makes you wonder when his paypal email address wont work and he hasnt been on tech since.

im gonna give it one or two more days and if nothing changes im going to file with paypal, although from what ive been reading it prolly wont do any good.


UPDATE... DARKFORMULA let me know that his springs came out of a ups store in jackson so i called that store and evidently he shipped me 4 wheels that they packaged yesterday and they should be here tomorrow....some communication would have been nice but at this point at least something is comming my way.

thanks for all the help guys.

Hopefully the rest of the deal works for you and you get what you paid for.

Glad I could help.

sorry for the delay. I had an family issue that caused me to go out of town abruptly. The wheels have been shipped and the tracking numbers are 1z1e852v0376776125 and 1z1e852v0310108345. I can't appologize enough, cause I have been scammed before and I know its an awful feeling to pay for something and not think you are gonna get what you paid for. It was never my intentions to cause you to feel this way. If you need anything at all pm me. Once again I am extremely sorry for this.

Good luck collecting from paypal. Paypal will ONLY pay IF there's money in his paypal account. If not, you're screwed.
