LS1tech screen name Chrome_Rust has stolen $270 and my 2001 Silverado wiring harness from me. His phone number is 419-788.9836 and says his name is Charlie Ridinger in Findlay OHIO.

I had spoke with him several times via telephone and PM's here on tech. He seemed knowledgeable and always answered my questions. During my project, I was at a point where the wiring harness needed to be modified. I called him and arranged a price. $270 and 2 week turn around.

After sending him my harness via UPS and Paypal to his "wife's" account, I never heard back. This was the first week of May. During the middle to third week of May, I called and was able to reach him. He indicated he was working on his car but was close to finishing my stuff. I told him no worries and I was fine waiting a little longer.

First week of June. I called multiple times, left voice mails and text messages. His voice mail had now changed from a business message to the standard computer generated default voice mail. I later received one text stating my harness will ship on Friday 06-07-13. I texted back for follow up but that was it...one reply. Over a week later, no harness and no replies.

I attempted multiple additional times since then to contact him and get nothing. No texts, PM's, or voice mails. I should have searched here prior to doing business with him as I am not the first guy who has gotten" Fuct" over by this dishonest man.

I've been doing this car thing for many years now and for the most part, all of us are honest with one another. This piece of **** is the minority to our group as a whole. So as a contributing member to our group, I made this post as a warning to inform all of you of this person.

"CHARLIE"
Kharma, what goes around comes around, and you got what's coming to ya. I believe strongly in those and in keeping my word. "Charlie" if you are reading this post, find some self meaning in those three and fix this issue. Also, I will not sit on my hands and do nothing other than push keys if you fail to make good on our transaction.

Waiting...

 

In the 2014 corvette. Charlie says he made it rite with the other guy. I am the other guy. This ahole has not refunded my money sent a harness or replied to any email.

 

I know that Paypal has a 45 day refund rule, but have you filed a Paypal dispute/claim to @ least get your money back? Further, if your Paypal account pays out from a CC the CC company can refund the money. CC protection runs longer than 45 days.

 

^I f*cked up and sent the money as a gift. Attempted the dispute but Paypal said no.

Still nothing from him..no call, no harness, no money, no nothing.
