Just to update, I got the mail this evening and I recieved a certified check from Tom. I appreciate the effort to return the money, and hope work slows down for you.

Tom,

I sent a PM. I never recieved the cashiers check. This has been dragging on for six months now and it is still not settled.

Ok, I'm replying in both threads... This REALLY aggitates me. This guy has done this NUMEROUS TIMES! And there's nothing being done about it from Admins?? Come on this guy should not be allowed to sell anything on this board again.

After over a month of me waiting he now informs me that he's sending my money order back. B.S.! That's not how buisness is done. I don't want to hear about how much you work either. I work over 80 hours a week, and still fulfill my obligations. God only knows how long now I will have to wait to recieve my money order. I'll probably get 5 or so PM's stating "I'll send it tomorrow."

1 case, I can understand. How many is this? Admins, Mods, SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING!

Why would a guy have to beg to get his money back after six months?

Call it what ever you want but that is just wrong. I sell a good bit of parts on here and everything has always been shipped the day after I got paid. If you have a hard time fulfilling your obligations then don't sell to anyone. I don't give a rats *** how busy someone is, there is NO excuse screwing around with someone elses money.

I just got my MO back from him this past Monday after PMing the guy daily to give me my money back for almost three months! He claimed that he was not able to send me the part I had sent him the money for and I said fine send the money back...he kept saying he would and finally after almost 3 MONTHS I finally got it cause I threatened to go to the Police....

what is real funny is that he PMed last Friday asking me if I had gotten the MO and I said no.....then i said I am going to the Police this Monday and all of a sudden he has a tracking number....the tracking number showed the MO to have gone out the Friday morning he PMed me asking if I had received it yet....BUSTED!!!!! he was lying and riding this along hoping I would let it be or whatever the **** he thought I was gonan do...SCAMMER
