Default 408trans _am is a thief

This ******* takes your money, then doesn't send the item. Had numerous email's from him with lots of double talk and stories. He tells me he has a good trader rating, BFD. Better than mine. Who cares if you don't keep your end of the deal. Don't waste your time or money on this loser.
The loser is...... Tim Olsen

Ugh.... not good... I just sent him a large amount of CASH. He has a 100% positive feedback. I know that he was in and out of the hosipital at one point so, if I don't here from him in a day or so I'm going to contact paypal. He also has his own little business.

Here is his website: www.performancethrottlebodies.com

Has some more contact info on it.

Confusing because on that page you posted it has this name:

"Or message me on Ls1tech.com under Smokin87ta"

is this the same guy? I got my TB from smoking87ta and all was well and promised.

F*CK paypal, don't waste your time. They won't do anything for you, if he doesn't have money in his paypal account (which you know he doesn't), they can't refund you, safe my ***.

Well I looked up Deborah Olson on whitepages.com and it was the right number. I told her the situation and said that he has been busy with school(?) or something... So idk what the deal is. She also took my number and said that she would have him get in touch with me asap. If nothing happens by this weekend I'm driving to IL... Who's coming with me?

haha.

So if I hear anything I will let you guys know.

That's prob his wife. I heard from him yesterday and everything is good. Said he was out of town for the weekend. I wouldn't get sour on him just yet... His trader feedback is 100% positive. He gave you his full name and address and sounds like a good guy(while talking on the phone). He has a small business that he needs to hold up so I don't think he's here to scam anybody. But that's just my .02. We'll just see how everything turns out.

i think the guys an ***. all i wanted was my $$ back and i would return the incomplete parts list i received from him. he refuses to reply on this forum, but had no problem replying to my claim with paypal. the $50 i spent on the stuff will neither break or make me, but now its gone a little farther.

i said it once and i will say it again... i try to treat people the same way i want to be treated myself. ignoring a problem and thinking it will just go away is not the right approach. man up, hope the other ******** finally drops and take care of the problems YOU created tim. no matter how insignificant you might think it is.
