Sorry to hear about that. Thank you for the heads up. I wonder if it is the same guy some of the people on here were having problems with.

Tyler.... IT IS!!!!!!  This is the guy I was talking about and several other forum members here have had a problem with.

DieselTDI...if you need a connection to the local VW community that he is a part of, PLEASE search my sig (or PM me) and I will provide you with the information. It is Illicit VW of Windsor...its a club...they have an online forum like ours. I got GOOD results from posting there and letting his fellow community members know...

Your one of 9 now.

This guy really needs and IP trace and block. Grr....

Yeah, if he is still scamming people, all of you need to make police reports as he obviously isn't stopping.

That's why you pay by either paypal or money order. That way, you can get your money back if the asshat does try to rip you off.
