Default Alexander Ronald Krenz (Username Krenz) is a flat out THIEF!!!!!!

I purchased a set of 317 heads from Krenz here on LS1TECH. The agreed amount came to $275 shipped. This is a fair deal for both in my mind. A set of used 317 heads go for $150-200 all day long. At $275 shipped, he's getting his money for the heads, and getting plenty of money to compensate for shipping. Well he said he didn't have paypal, so I shipped him a money order for $275. He stayed in touch with me by text really well at first. Then he text me to tell me he received the money order, and that he would mail the heads out the next day. He then said he didn't get a chance to mail them, but would do that the next day. He then quit answering my texts all together. Now I'm sitting here 6 days later and he will not answer his texts at all. His full name is Alexander Ronald Krenz and he lives in Woodworth North Dakota. His phone number is 701-320-8534. I've had good dealings with other members here before, but buyers beware of KRENZ. Being a money order, I know I'll never see my money ever again. But Karma is a bitch, and I'm not worried about him getting his. $275 dollar lesson learned the hard way.

The thread has been removed that he posted in the classifieds section, or I'd share the link.


Here are the pictures given to me of the heads. So if you see these same pictures with another seller, beware.

That is why i rarely buy things from forums unless i know some good things about the person. At least if this happens on ebay they will help you out and get your money back. If you payed with paypal they will help you out.

Good Luck!

Yep, lesson learned. I'm either buying in person or through PayPal from now on. Money orders only work with honest people. I'm over it now. I can't let it keep bugging me,and driving me crazy.

Those photos came from a Photobucket account belonging to one Jacob Roundtree.

Well, if he can reply I don't want to outright ban him. He needs to be able to log in and see the grievances against him.

HOWEVER, I will look and find the ad, "undelete" it, lock it, and link it back here. That way, your prosecutor has something to look at.

always use paypal and it helps to pay with a credit card too so you can always file a charge back.

what made you buy from him though? he only had 2 transactions prior to yours and the last one was negative claim the buyer was ripped off.

I sure hope they did. It's my photobucket account. I posted the pictures he sent me from his phone using photobucket.

I have since learned my lesson about this. ALWAYS use PayPal, and don't friend the money either. I ended up buying a set of 243 heads from Superman22x, that he had listed here. It went smoothly, and I left him positive feedback. To this day, I haven't been able to reach Krenz. He also hasn't logged into his account since he stopped responding to my phone calls. He blocked my number. He would answer if I called from different phone numbers, but has blocked my number. So he's not dead or in the hospital or anything. He's just a flat out thief.

Oh, and I'm not going to pursue any legal recourse. My bank told me there's absolutely nothing I can do about it, since I used a money order. I'm just calling this an expensive lesson. That's why I posted this here. I don't want anyone else to get burned by the same guy, or by sending a money order.

Sorry to hear about your mishap bro. But, it wouldn't behoove you to take legal action anyway for $275. Although, you want you hard earned money back, you'd spend way more than $275 trying to get that amount of money back. Glad you got another sale that worked out for you.
