Default Attn flash 99: Call me

If anyone on her knows FLASH99, Please tell him that he needs to call me.

He has stopped returning my messages and calls. I am still waiting for my motor or info for shipping. He sent me a picture after he pulled it, than nothing but delays.

IF YOU KNOW HIM, PLEASE CONTACT HIM.

He had good feedback on here and seemed to be a reputable person. This is quite a bit of money for me and I dont know what else to do other than contacting my legal department. I would prefer not to do that, but my patience is running thin.

yeah, nope.

Guess im a idiot. Great feed back and all of that, sent me tons of pictures, been on here for years.

Kind of a painful lesson to learn. But, not as painful as his will be if things dont work out. Federal wire fraud is a felony. Thats the next step

Paypal won't do **** unless it was an ebay purchase. I tried filing a claim when someone on here sold me bad headers and that is what paypal told me.
It's all about american express, you always get your money back

Sorry to hear this. I meet him a few times. Maybe something is up is why he cant get back to you, medical? What engine was it? 402 or 454?

I am trying really hard to be a reasonable man. I heard from him night before last and it was looking like everything was going to get figured out, but nothing so far.

Its a lot of money. Its a big pain in the *** to go after him.

But Im willing to put up with that irritation to set things right.

Honestly, at this point, If I just get my purchase, or my money, nothing negative will have to happen. But that time limit is running out fast. I know what I have to do legally, and am willing to do it.
