I paid him 370$ for JE pistons on June 2nd. Steve Cook from Colorado, smc252 on alltrac.net, email smcstevesmc@yahoo
I`ve sent him ~10x more emails and PMS, than he replies, and always replies short stupid sentences. I`ve asked 10x for a cellphone number or IM, but he just ignores me, replies once in 2-4 days.
But this just stroke it.
A week after payment he replies: "Apparently my roomate shipped my JE pistons to someone else for next to nothing, without asking me. No wonder they are not where I put them. I have boxed up a GOOD set of stock pistons and also Forged oem rods, I will send you $75 back for waiting as well as the rods and pistons. Sound fair?"
i send him "i can give 100$ shipped for good oem toyota 86.5mm pistons only. i do not need rods"
later he writes "Pistons sent 1hr ago, paid extra for 5-7day priority mail, oem forged pistons"
OEM forged? anyway im still waiting, he doesnt reply me at all, since last 10 days im asking him 2x a day to send me back the rest of my money. i escalated a dispute claim to paypal. he has replied to paypal instantly with tracking number, but doesnt write me at all. the item has dispatched from US on june 17th.
now when the item will be received, paypal will close the case and i will lose all my money? or i can still file "item not as expected"?
if item is not as described - do i receive money only when the item return shipping is finished?
pistons are the last piece i need for a rebuild. i started to communicate with this scam in May. its the end of June and the car just stands still out there, summer will be over soon as the user is on alltrac.net for more than 5 years, i thought i could trust :/
