emailed old dude (Scott Martin) about the engine back in april.
He sent me photos and info on the engine. responses were quick.
Decided to buy the engine. I made payment. First the idiot sent me the wrong bank details.
I waited for the funds to bounce back then i resent them to the correct account.
Contact at this point became slower and slower.
He told me that he was going to either frieght the motor etc or drive it up.
Weeks went by then he told me the shipping company sent it to Western Australia by mistake. At this point i asked for a tracking number and company he used.
That request was ignored. After that he told me he was now going to drive it up. Weeks went by and told me he was driving it up on 28/5/11.
I waited at home all day expecting the engine, tried calling him all day/smsing to find out where he was, how much longer etc. He sends me a sms 5pm that day saying his trailer is f**ked, the engine is f**ked, give me your bank details im returning your money. Tried calling straight away and no answer.
Managed to get in contact the following monday. gave me some bs story about how the trailer unhooked while driving or a wheel flew off. Told me he was going to transfer the money that week.
Contact none existant. my calls/sms/emails all ignored. Get an email on the friday saying his friend made the payment on friday evening.
no contact at all. no money shows up all through the following week. sends me one email after saying oh thats wierd it was definately done im going to find out.
since then i havent been able to get in contact. sms/email/phone all ignored.
this guy is a flamin mongrel
