Scam Warning Thread / Bad experience with a member / bad or no shipment

threeseventy · 05-18-2016, 12:25 AM

Since my Max Street clutch and flywheel setup has been slipping and failing (again) I've been here PMing members to get some stock parts to go in so I can continue to drive my Z. I contacted N370 about his post for misc parts and he quoted me $150 shipped for parts. I had sent out about a dozen PM's and posted a WTB asking for clutch and flywheel, so I didn't notice that I'd asked for clutch and pressure plate in the title of the PM I'd sent him. When clutch and pressure plate ($50, per his classified) arrived without flywheel I immediately PM'd him to clarify, stating that I'd needed the flywheel, and would not have agreed to $100 for shipping a 19 lb box from TX to CA (book rate FedEx is about $25), could he please send the $25 flywheel using the (Book rate $50) additional funds I'd sent. He agreed on 4/10/16, said he needed a couple of days as he was in some sort of military training, and would ship it Wednesday. That was his last communication, he has logged on multiple times, usually daily, and has likely seen the PM's I've sent him regarding my Z sitting in the driveway awaiting the part he agreed to ship. I have since found another source for a flywheel and have sent him a PM to request that he simply refund the $75 instead of sending the flywheel. Not holding my breath.
