Buyer Beware!
This is the gripes and complaints section but i know there are no personal attacks allowed to members here. So where is the appropriate place to do so?
I ask this because i bought something off someone here (won't list names YET) and they totally screwed me and did not send me the product, i just want to warn everyone about this person for the future but where woudl i post this?

post it here. moderators will see and we will help you out as much as possible. splurrrrrt. you don't need to hide yourself either. normally the site will not tolerate personal business... but if something isn't right everyone needs to know.
did you PM and talk with the seller before? if he or she isn't responding that'd the point where we need to know.

I'd like to warn everyone about a member on the boards here.
His screen name is slantedh92603 and on HyundaiPerformance.com is AtilatheHyundai . Real name is Zach Ballinger
He was selling stuff here on RD and HP, i showed my interested and called him about the product, in this case it was the Airram + BBTB combo, here is the thread (most of you probably saw this thread)
http://www.rdtiburon.com/index.php?showtopic=8955
so i called him and talked to him and everything seemed good. Sent a money order his way for over 500 bucks US and never heard from him after. I called him and he said he sent it. 2 weeks later nothing, call him no answer, 3 weeks later he finally picks up and i asked him whats up and he said wrong address and they sent the package back to him, so he told me to email him the right address and i did. Still 3 weeks later nothing.
Its been a month and a half now and i got nothing, he's not answering his phone calls no more and i don't know what i can do.
Does anyone know this guy personally? i want to know whats going on here. I really hope there is a miscommunication or something like that and hes really not trying to screw me over here. I just want what i paid for or at least my money back. I don't mean to point the finger here but at this point i have no choice but to believe i'm being had.
Let me know if anyone received an airram from this guy or knows about him

We are a great community and there is a lot of respect, responsibility and confidence between each other.... specially for all the stuff for sale between us....
If someone screw you (and have proof of that).... you have ALL the right to make warnings and etcs....
But moderator have the last words..... drillsergeant.gif

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (tanc @ Aug 11 2005, 04:07 AM)</div><div class='quotemain'>Why did you send money order. Paypal would be the safest for that much of an ammount. Isn't there fraud protection with that money order?
<div align='right'><{POST_SNAPBACK}></div></div>
well he said he didnt have a paypal account which is fine, not everyone does, so i sent him a money order. i've seen his name around HP for sometime so i though he could be trusted.
i dont know if there is any fraud protection for a money order.
once again, i hope im wrong about this guy.

Did you send the money order via the US Post Office? If so, then you can get him for Postal Fraud.
