Default Nick Root aka Ls1powerhouse a Ripoff!! (Oklahoma)

Two weeks after "cashing" payment at paypal no word, no response to email, threads etc for two 02 sensors. I know for a fact he hasnt shipped anything. Busy? maybe but now busy enough to cash my money. I want a refund. Filing a claim now. later.

Damian,

Add me to the list of ripped off people. I have had nothing but empty promises from Nick Root as well. He promises that he is:
" Boxing stuff up now"
"Sending parts out tonight"
" Sorry, I've had some problems"
And now....when you try and send him a PM, his mailbox is full and won't accept any messages.
If there is anything ya'll can do about this I would appreciaty it. I have filed a complaint thru Paypal and he has only four more days until his account is debited for the parts I paid for.
I am also looking into filing a criminal mail fraud complaint with federal authorities. Worst part is, I bought the parts from him and expected delivery within a week or so. Now I'm out the money and will not have what I paid for until the TR shootout is right around the corner.
Let me know what you come up wih please.
Kev

So,
You got everyone's money TWO WEEKS AGO, and your computer went down ONE WEEK AGO.......Hmmmmmmmm.

Well, I am waiting to hear from you again. Hopefully it will be in the form of either a tracking number (legit) or by my PAID FOR items arriving shortly.

If not, this is just another BS excuse. I am all about being patient but this seems to be a repeditive problem for you and I, as well as others on here I'm sure, are tired of this. I hope the moderators are watching.

Now, lets see what happens.

Hey LS1POWERHOUSE my computer crashed too, as a matter of fact it crashed two weeks ago and i am still trying to reformat it RIGHT now. I was still able to get to a computer, like right now, and check up on my side of the deal. As a matter of fact i paid you through someone elses computer. So if you would refund my money i will get off your back. I just dont think a crashed pc is an excuse.

Default 1/2 of parts finally showed up..2 1/2 weeks

I left a message, but of course....he did not return my call.

Attn: Nick,

Fed -ex guy showed up this morning (10-21-2004) I now have HALF the stuff I paid for. What happened to the slick tube(s.) (1) good one, (1) that needed fixing. Where is the valley cover?

Paypal concluded the complaint and refunded my payment to you. I guess as soon as you CALL me and return the message I left you we can work out the details on me paying you for what I did get.

Kevin

Nick, maybe it's obvious but Kev is a police officer. He's being pretty gracious about this but I think if you don't get back to him in the next day or so you will be getting a visit from local law enforcement. Don't let it go that far otherwise you will have paperwork on you.

If he does not clear all the bad deals by the end of the month he's gone forever.
