That's not good at all. For $250 it might be worth it to take a trip... I have grandparents literally 10 minutes away from where he lives.
I think there is a thread on vortex that has buyer/seller info. Maybe post something there about this.
Sorry it isn't working out :(
-
i would ask him for a receipt from canada post. get him to scan it, fax it, or whatever. if he can't provide that then yea... pay him a visit :twisted:

spilled brake fluid on some paint once. wow, they should just lable that stuff paint remover...................... :wink:

I've got one that posts here sometimes:

I sent him money and he sent me a false tracking #. He never did send me the part. I have yet to get my money back after a month.
Avoid dealing with this person.

Yikes... don't tell me that... waiting on a K14... and waiting... and waiting... with the tracking code that doesn't work....
A darn shame too.. I can understand gasser owners treating each other this way, but diesel dudes ??!!!

Maybe the 3 of you better contact the police or postal service or both.

Or we could hire your big truck to drive over someone's foot ?? Seems to have worked for Britney Spears ??!!!

lol i'm sure he reads this forum... he'll probably be ready for 1) brake fluid on paint 2) nails in driveway...
probably go nuts from the paranoia! :lol: hopefully there is just some sort of mixup... i just don't understand why anyone would want to defraud another person for chump change.
pretty sad... hopefully there's just a mixup!

I spilled a box of aluminum roofing nails in my driveway once. Those little buggers are non-magnetic and so fairly difficult to clean up entirely on a dirt driveway. I kept getting poked tires...

HEE HEE HEE, Snicker Snicker :lol: Thats old school. By the way, brake fluid will work just fine for a short period loaded into a squirt gun or spay bottle. Makes a funny pattern when it hits too.

When I lived in Portland, somebody was hitting parked cars with paint stripper in ballons.
Sorry about the rip-off!
I had a similar experience with a seller in Jersey--guy was using his Grandmothers mailing address. 3 other victims and I contacted the local police who opend a complaint file--shook the guy up pretty good.
Still didn't get our money back, though.
-
I think you should contact police, you have more than enough complaints to get the police suspicious.

So.... just a huge misunderstanding...? :D
-
Perhaps we should do kind of a informal inhouse rule thing about making sure buyers / sellers go through some kind of dispute abc 123 process before names get posted as to who is or is not reputable. Basics like, did you e-mail him, did you request tracking#, Did you request copy of shipping bill or receipt.? Just a thought.
No one likes getting ripped off for sure, it's just hard to call a " my bad" after you light off the flame on someones rep.
If someone IS a scammer, Please send out the watch/ warning/ black list and let us know so no one else get's screwed. Flame on.
(and watch for roofing nails and spilled brake fluid) :wink:

I agree, I was getting all ticked off reading through here thinking here @ TDI we have a small enough community that this type of thing doesn't seem to happen very often, as a matter a fact I feel like I have gained some good friends off this board through purchases.
Sorry to hear about he divorce Sylvester, even a clean one sucks.
I hope you can get things figured out with our fellow TD'ers soon and hope your life gets better. Gotta feel for a fellow going through that crap..

thanks zukgod1 and hopefully my situation for parts arrival should b resolved within the next week.

I can get boxes of those pretty cheap to donate to the cause.... :D Comes with being a contractor's kid.

Unfortunately I'm not dealing with mk2fanatic (sorry about your situation man)
I'm just going to go to the police. I haven't heard from the guy in almost two weeks which was when he supposedly shipped it UPS from Quebec to Ontario, which I know would take 5 days max and would come with a tracking number. Hopefully I have enough information to get some action
-
You should ask him if he shipped it insured. Even if he never shipped it, If he gives you false info to put in a claim, the postal service would be all over him for postal fraud. In the US, the postal service is serious about that stuff.
-
He's not talking anymore so that's not an option unfortunatly
-
Perhaps he ripped someone else off and is finding it hard to talk with no teeth. :o
-
did you guys get your parts?
Mk2Fanatic
jumped all over my wanted thread where i was looking for a pump.
I called him and no response. Left 2 voicemails and nothing.
Glad i paid with a CC.
-
No, I never got my part but at least he did refund my money eventually.
-
Thank god for the CC buyer protection.

This is the dickwad sylvesters ex... and we were never married, he is all lies!!! We split cuz of his lies. His wife's engagement ring was my old ring... he stole money from our 9 year old in the sum of 500 dollars, he owes me 6 g's now for our daughters, I hope all has been resolved, but anyone who knew him or me I hope the truth is known now, he effed up! Sorry i'm goin off but seriously, i like how he said that we had a messy divorce... never married, and was never any issues during the break up. if any of you need his address feel free to drop me a line and i will provide you with any info you need.

thats kinda a nail in the coffin for him if you are who you say you are.

I haven't seen Sylvester post in a while. At least he refunded my money. Baselyne/fwd_motion screwed me out of $200. Real name is Jeff DesRoche. Steer clear.

partingvw is Jeff's new name on vortex.

There's something that is being brought to my attention. So far now I have gotten 2 PM's from people saying I have sold them parts and that they haven't gotten them. One PM I even got on TDIClub from someone. However I have never sold any parts on here or on TDIClub. They are saying that a member by the name of 'dieselsmoke' sold them the parts. My username is slightly different. There's a space in mine. So please people, it's not me. Don't hate me.
