He's taken $1405 off me and not provided me with Ohlins suspension. Ignoring all emails and SMS and calls.

If anyone knows him. Tell him to pay my refund or give me the goods ... to my door in person!!! Before I take my own action.

He appears to have his own R33 (silver).

I reckon he's bought the suspension off a jap auction site using my money and f**ked off with it. Tracking down which State he's from. Any further help and info is appreciated. I have his bank details and other info and I'm going to start legal action this week.

Last chance buddy, if you're a member here, stop ripping people off.

PM me with any and all info. Reward offered.

Prob not, but might as well pitch it out there.

I'll have enough info to go after him shortly, but every little bit helps.

did you pay through paypal, even through ebay you should be able to claim protection?

[.:: GimpS-R34 ::.]

yeah if he's ignoring you.. put your item as "Not Recieved" and if through paypal start a dispute.. if you got some of his info then that's good.. then print off a copy of the transfer showing your bank account and the money transfer to his bank account.. go the police and get them on his ass..

If he's ignored you i would give him shit anyway.. get the refund so he's left with suspension he don't need.. or does he?? And if he's "away on busniss" tell him to get f**ked anyways cause he should be giving you notice

gl hope it works out

Agreed.

I've got a good amount of detail about this guy. I'll be seeing him shortly.

[Kranker]

Haha vigalante styles...

I had a dispute about a non recieved item, went through paypal, took a while but paypal refunded me in the end, whole process works pretty well in my opinion.

Or you could rock up on his doorstep and beat him over the head with a macpherson strut...up to you

Don't you read feedback??? Have you contacted anyone else that has left bad feedback for this guy, maybe they have info on him. that is a large amount of money to be direct depositing into someone else's account. I can't believe that this guy is still trading under an account with such bad feedback, you think he would open up a fresh one, don't f*ck around just go straight to the police...

There is a link that is setup for this kind of stuff, i will post it up when i can find it...

When I dealt with him, his feedback was like 94% ... then it plummeted downhill after I dealt with him.

I've also tried contacting the other people who've been burnt by him, but not getting much response yet.

Not the first time he's been in trouble ...

Shonky motor dealer dealt an $8300 fine A South Brisbane man found guilty of unlicensed motor dealing and five counts of false misrepresentation involving odometer readings has been fined $8300 and faces 110 days prison if he fails to pay.

Fair Trading Minister Margaret Keech said Darryn Anthony Irvine sold at least 13 vehicles worth more than $87,000 while operating as the person in charge of his father's Underwood Dealership, Freeway Autogroup.

"Irvine has never held a motor dealer's licence or sales certificate despite dealing with customers and selling vehicles," Mrs Keech said.

"Irvine's actions were clear breaches of both the Property Agents and Motor Dealers Act 2000 and the Fair Trading Act 1989.

"In June last year he was also fined $300 for acting as an unregistered motor salesperson.

"The Office of Fair Trading (OFT) keeps a constant eye on the motor dealing industry, with a view to weeding out unlicensed dealers who tarnish its reputation and put Queenslanders' lives at risk."

All dealers selling used cars in Queensland must be licensed by OFT and have their licence clearly displayed at their place of business.

Anyone suspicious of the legitimacy of a dealer's licence can check licensing details on the OFT's public register.

Anyone wanting more advice on buying used cars can request a free copy of the Glovebox Guide by phoning 1300 658 030 or visiting www.fairtrading.qld.gov.au.

Don't bag paypal unless you have tried getting a refund through them. I got scammed 2 months ago for $110 on Ebay through a supposedly reputable seller. Got sick of this delaying tactics and lodged a dispute through paypal...followed their process and got my $ back after about a month.

Check out their refund policy...pretty sure if the seller has a 94% rating you are entitled to a full refund.

Awesome find, the article is from 2005, does that mean that he is back to his old tricks again?? So definitely has a criminal record, shouldn't be too hard to track him down. Good luck.
