c5vette435hp---anyone know the individual??
he was selling a cluster/hud recently on c5parts amongst other items, i sent him funds via paypal and after recieving numerous 'excuse' emails i filed the claim w/ paypal(and used a credit card to pay for funds)
he also had 6 auctions on ebay for LS6 intakes @ $260, anyone knows those intakes would sell @300 in c5parts w/in minutes
his location was Scott, Texas before deleting profile info
listed name is 'John Scott' email, [lingenfelter427c5@yahoo.com]
if anyone has info on the individual please let me know, thanks
bottom line---> always request pics and speak to the person by telephone

Always good to have connections. Sorry to hear he's doing this to you.
Hope you are able to get your money back.

this kind of 'switch box' scam would've worked for him last year, paypal has changed quite a bit, i'm suprised he's trying this with all the info from an IP address??

Well if I were you I would keep pursuing it. I would start disputing it with your CC company.
It's a shame azzholes like that can sleep at night.

Get email or buying agreement with stated item and let cc company know - they should run the gauntlet for you.
Paypal sux and I only use it for small items or known people. I just don't buy things from loser's anymore.
