Default Have I been ripped off by a s/net seller?

Seems to be a lot of this happening of late.
Bought a turbo kit from paintshopgaz a few weeks ago and since paying am unable to contact him.
OK Ive done the usual with private messages etc but no reply.
Asked if anyone knew him in general chat to no avail.
Really scundered now. Advice please

haroon...jus noticed ur name... deleted my inbox and couldnt remember ur username for love or money to pm u. i was spose 2 b buying ur sti lip off you, but the day i went to send deposit my bloody fuel pump packed up it happened before but we diagnosed it as the immobiliser, so ran a wire from fuel pump to my head unit, so it comes on when the cars in ignition, but it then happened again a week or so ago and finally gathered this time that it IS the actual fuel pump, not the immobiliser. spent loads of money getting it looked at my alarm ppl and elctricians. bought a walboro uprated one yesterday afternoon and had it fitted last night and ir runs smoothly now, money wise i have to take it for its mot today at lunchtime then i have to pay for its tax next week so can see myself being brassic for a week or so sorry to mess you about mate

had a run in with him and his fans/goons in another thread

not my type of person to be honest.
wonder if he ever got that 94wrxstityperp1 on the road

edit, it seams it never ended up on the road after all

just as i suspected probably because it was the biggest stinking bitsa car i have ever seen in my life

it went from being a car with apparently a P1 ID

to getting sold on piston heads with no ID at all as a track car, speaks volumes

i hope you get your cash back

Red face

a little geeky of me i know, but, did anybody notice on the pics of his donor car, in the first ones, where you can see the back of the car, the number plate is rectangle, with R5 DRT and then in the pictures of both together, the number plate is square with the prefix of K781 RBK....?

sorry to say, but it looks like we have a gang of fecking car thieves, who no doubt use fake credentials for paypal accounts and the like, and then get un suspecting people like our friend here...

the bastedsSS!!!

I don't understand why people mess around. How i would deal with buying on the scooby forum is doing a pay on collection only basis.

Again i think we need a feedback system on scoobynet, instead of using posts figures

i agree with the feedback systems..

i have brought a few things from here , and have always been lucky ...

making me think i should stay away from the for sale section if things dont get changed

ps. hope you get sorted

Gives me the right hump when people target people on trusting forums. maybe it will come good but as he's been online and not stepping in to clear things up its not looking good.

Ive brought alot of bits on here and never had a problem really. like to go back to the same people if poss as they have my trust

has the OP had his problem sorted yet?
