AthruC Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 Thanks to Bob and those involved. I was promised a turbo, was never sent it, disputed via PayPal, was told he couldn't send it until the dispute was reneged... was told it was sent, wasn't given a tracking number, couldn't reopen dispute via PP website. Called today on the LAST day of the 45 day guarantee. PP has re-opened the dispute and he can either 1) send a tracking #, 2) issue a refund within 11 days. If he takes no action, I get my $ back. PP told me that anyone OVER the 45 days is SOL through their guarantee, but the party involved is more than welcome to file a dispute with whoever issued the funds (credit card, bank, etc). NOW, here's the fun part... in addition to Bob being the man, my lawyer (an awesome Volvo guy by the way) sent me this: "Worse case scenario, best, and most cost effective would be to file with the US attorney general (as the fraud involves interestate mail and wired funds) and the state attorney general. Free. Typically quick online form for complaint. And it does work." I'd suggest all who have been slighted consider taking this course of action. I'll be damned if some punk thinks he can get away with interstate e-robbery! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gottarollwithit Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 Not a good sign... There's like 5 folks i've found so far that he owes.... At this point he's got at least $1500 in other people's stuff. I'd still like to give him the benefit of the doubt even though he's taking waaaaay too long, but it's time to get prepared in the event he's scamming us. I'm glad you guys are forming this thread. I'll try to pull the TB folks into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom waite Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 I am sorry, I am not buying that he is stealing from you guys. He is in the Army Reserves. There is like, a 99.9% chance that if he falls off the face of the communications world, he was called upon. Sean had a 100% good reputation, then stopped talking all together. He didn't PM you looking to work something out, he didn't continue to take your money in an attempt to rob Peter to pay Paul. On Sean's behalf, I am asking you guys to chill out. It sucks that he left with open transactions, but I doubt he could do a damn thing about it. 2 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin. Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 (edited) I am sorry, I am not buying that he is stealing from you guys. He is in the Army Reserves. There is like, a 99.9% chance that if he falls off the face of the communications world, he was called upon. Sean had a 100% good reputation, then stopped talking all together.

It sucks that he left with open transactions, but I doubt he could do a damn thing about it. You obviously didn't read other posts made by guys here. He didn't fall off the face of the earth, he's been loggin in to his YouTube account and other VW sites. This is seriously a bunch of bull shit and I honestly feel really bad for anyone that threw down their 500+ dollars for a turbo they're never gonna get. I've been suspicious for awhile now and based on the information given to me this guy is a crook and should be dealt with as such. Why are you so quick to defend him? He is a con-artist! Under thorough investigation from other members of VS we came to conclude that he has been ripping off other people in the past. Given this information, he has and always will be a thief and he should be put in jail Edited July 3, 2010 by KeVTRoN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then why is he still logging into other websites, Tom waite you are sean whether you are hiding behind a different ip or what the things he or you have done thus far is shady. When you tell people to end disputes and then you ship nothing its shady. Be a man and do the right thing before legal action gets taken against you. Dont keep stringing people along Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sucks that he left with open transactions, but I doubt he could do a damn thing about it. I call bullpoop. This is after reneging the dispute where he didn't send me anything for a month and totally screwed my life coordination up: (Sean, June 14): Hey Adam, Sorry I've been out of touch. I made a recent post on TB, I was out of the country (Germany, I'm in the Army) for a couple weeks. Anyway, the turbo is here and I can have it out by Wed, but there's a hold on my PP account and I don't have the money to mail it now. lol. So let me know if you want it or if I should sell it to someone else who wants it. Sorry for the delay, that's totally my fault. Thanks for being so patient! Sean 714 553 1158 (text first, I don't answer unknown calls!) (Adam, June 14): I need it ASAP (I only have one car at the moment and it needs work - I can't do a lot of the work that I need to until I get the turbo!). I put a hold on the account because I had been emailing you and hadn't heard back (I assume you took the $ and ran). I don't know if there's any way to send it out sooner (or faster), but I really got screwed on this one as I planned a LOT around the timing of this (no offense). I'll take the hold off, please just get everything to me ASAP. Thanks. (Sean, June 14): Ok no worries. I can mail it on or before Wed (I'm gonna be out of town again Thurs-Sun, I will make sure it's on the way before then!). Let me know when the hold comes off so I can get the money into my acct.! Thanks much, I appreciate it! (Adam, June 16): Sean, just verifying that this was sent out. Otherwise, I will make arrangements to get one by this weekend elsewhere. Thanks. (Sean, June 16): I'll be at the PO around 2 to mail it out. I'll have a tracking number for you then. Thanks! (Adam, June 17): Thanks Sean, Do you have an ETA or tracking number for me? Thanks. (Sean, June 17): Sent it slow poke style because of funds, but I'm thinking by Wed-Thurs at the latest. I'm sorry it took so long. I'm gonna be out of town (middle of poking nowhere) until Mon morn, on my way out the door for a backpacking trip. I'll check back with you on Monday! (Adam, June 21): Sean, did you have a tracking number on this so I can plan my week? I need to get my other car in the shop and it would be great to be able to drive the Bertone. Thanks. (Adam, June 28): Sean, no turbo yet. I'll be disputing the payment again today as I never received a tracking number from you. Still no turbo, PayPal was kind enough to re-open my dispute. This guy is effed. I had the chance to get from two different sources but didn't because I was holding onto empty lies made by the douchebag.

Austin H Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 This is kind of a shock to me. I grew up around the military and one thing I've learned is that when people in the Military say they are going to do something, they mean it. Maybe it's because I was around officers my whole life, no offense to anyone that's enlisted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gottarollwithit Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Well, i'm still not sold on the fact that Sean/L8 APEKS is intentionally screwing us over. Then again, i'm hopefully not being ignorant here... Anybody know what turbo shop he used for these rebuilds??? There's couldn't be that many in the OC area. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogatu'r Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Ok.. Enough throwing that Military / deployed I'm dumb story on this guy. There is PLENTY poking time to arrange stuff, call someone, send a 1 minute e-mail to a bunch of people. Ask me how I know There is only one simple excuse / reason for being MIA, Irresponsibility. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
