Thread: Got Scammed by member GRIM (Kevin Edwards)

Wolf any luck contacting Paypal, or credit card company?

I can't contact CC as this would affect directly paypal as they were the middle man. Paypal I really don't know who to call because they have this 45 day policy and after that I've been stuck with them. I don't know which other steps to take

I contacted him today and let him know about this sitiuation .

He should chime in soon .

I hope it all gets resolved

Every time I read this thread it reminds me of the CF trunk group buy. Man I hope this guy is a man of honor and get wolf his funds, or sets him straight!

Me too!!!

He has visited the forum, reading email and probably pm and so far has given zero answers.

The video I promised to you guys, here's my little wolf on the road

YouTube - 200SX SE-R SR20DET First Driven Miles After Fixing Engine

Excuse my "slow" english but when I started recording road conditions got pretty bad due repairs so I was more concentrated on driving than talking

Generly with PayPal you have an Option to escalate the issue. You have to open a resolution ticket of some sort. But if you are after your 45 days then you are out of luck going through PayPal.

Exactly my case. This is what I explained on my very first post of this thread. Due his delay + very bad weather we had (snow storms) I had to wait until march to be able to do engine swap, I was not worried as I though I was dealing with a man of good will.

I gotcha, yeah the weather really did ruin a bunch of things. We'll hopefully Grim will reply soon then since he was notified multiple ways.

Wolf_SER, sorry to hear that you got ripped off.

I too got ripped off a couple of years ago (he knows who he is) I bought a supposedly Built SR20DET, for 1100. Turned out it was a DE+t with custom Arias pistons, which one was blown to hell. I tried to get my money back but the guy was being a prick, eventually he told me to stop calling him, or going to his house to talk 1100 dollars worth of scrap metal that I had laying in my garage. He promised he would open up a shop and eventually fix it. Yeah right. But I was dumb and stupid and took matters into my own hands, I ended up paying 3X what the guy owed me, all with legal issues.

Long story short I recommend any one when purchasing anything over 100 dollars to keep a paper trail, it is vital part especially when shit hits the fan like this. I committed the biggest mistake in purchasing; and gave the guy cash money for his "word" of a good engine. I too was mislead into thinking it was a good deal.

I'm glad you kept all the PM's and most importantly that you made the transaction through pay-pal. Fight it!, but do it smart and Legally. It will pay off eventually.

I hope everything turns out well for you Wolf. I hope sorry SOB's like those never get to rip any one off ever again.

Sorry for getting off topic.
