Scam Warning Thread / Bad experience with a member / bad or no shipment

cooltoy · 08-11-2016, 11:21 PM

Good to hear.

Potential here. We'll see how it shakes out. Wondering how long I should give him to respond or start the dispute process. I had an issue with PayPal that took me several days to sort out before I could make payment. He PM'd me every single day to ask status of payment. Then after I made payment, I had to bug him for confirmation and shipment info. He confirmed receipt and said would send tracking info later in the day - that was Tuesday (17th) and it's been radio silence since.

UPDATE: received PM from the seller on 1/24 with tracking info. Package is coming from APO in Germany and is still in transit (since 1/19). Looks like an auto email with shipping confirmation from PayPal went missing.

UPDATE: received package yesterday. USPS didn't bother to update any of the tracking info until after I already had the package in hand. Once the tracking info updated several hours later, it says the package took less than 12 hours from being dropped off at the carrier in Germany to arrive at and depart from a transfer facility in Chicago. Then it it took 10 days to get to Austin

Hey James,

I sent him a PM to respond.

IF nothing happens in a week and it doesn't breach your window to file a dispute and file for a refund?

I'll remove him and he'll end up on our wall shame.

Good Luck Buddy!

Well, I guess it was bound to happen, ChaseZ had a post up about selling some parts, for me it was Nismo flares, paid on the 05/04, received a message stating that he would pull the flares off that weekend, that was on 05/07. Going on 3 weeks now, no PM's or Emails and hasn't signed on.

Believe me I know life throws ya some curves, but common courtesy would be nice to keep the buyer updated. I also know of at least one other member who is the same boat. Anyone know the guy?

Already filed for a refund through Paypal, but that can be stopped if I receive the flares or at least some sort of communication.

I hope things turn out your way. Good luck.

I know ChaseZ. I am sure there is a good reason for this.

Over_ReV · 05-24-2018, 06:20 AM

I am one of the other members that purchased parts from ChaseZ. I paid for his FI resonated test pipes back on 5/1 and haven't received any communications from him since he said he received payment. I did confirm with another member that he met up with him on 5/7 and picked up the cats he needed so he could send me his test pipes, so I had hope for a few weeks that he was still going to send them. I have been told that he is going though a rough time right now, but just a quick message of "hey, going though some stuff, I will send your package when I'm able" would go a long way.

Unfortunately since he was a respected member and other respected members were saying he is a good seller I felt comfortable sending him the money friends and family, so I can't even file a claim. This was my mistake though and also one that I will never repeat again. I have bought a lot of parts from members here and always had a great experience so I will not let this sour me, I will just CYA a little more carefully next time.

Ouch, have done it in the past, for some reason I didn't ask and just took the $6 hit...

This guy is a scammer. Tried to rip me off for $1648 on a Nismo Seat.

See the thread here

hi. i know it was a while back since i bought your z1 test pipes. i never got to install the pipes but went ahead and sold them as i have different plans now.

the new owner of the tps is having a fitment problem and do not think it was a direct fit... it seems as if the pipes have a huge gap. was the pipes DE or HR? please respond asap.

CJSEGER sold z1 TPs to me that doesn't fit. Contacted seller multiple times but no answer.

Question, order completed on January 2018. Is it too late to dispute the transaction?

Nooree01 · 04-16-2019, 06:36 PM

I told the seller I will give him asking price plus shipping he gives me his phone number, and we communicate through text, wasn't willing to do PayPal, only wanted to use Venmo, he didn't include the hardware kit that was supposed to be included in the price and he decided not to respond to my texts at all
