I ordered parts for a total of 22725 $ from a vendor in Florida that was recommended from a friends friend here in Norway. I will not name the business yet, but this is what has h append.
I wanted a lsa crate engine with a lot of extra parts to get this in my 70 camaro that I'm currently building. The vendor told me he needed 2 weeks to get my parts and to get these ready so they would be shipped to Norway, well it's now gone 4 1/2 weeks :bang: :bang: :bang: and he is not answering my email's and not answering my phone calls so I really concerned for what is wrong.
I don't now how the customer support is usually in the USA but in Norway we inform the customer when things are not as they were as we did agree on.

By the way this is not I small order, not in Norway

Everyone knows who you are talking about, and this is a situation where it pays to do research in advance and not trust a friend or a friends friend, as people can and do shift from being great to being essentially thieves, so one person may have had a great experience two years ago, and you may get robbed.

yep, it's no secret. Google would have helped you out a ton. I'm very sorry you got taken, I'm amazed someone hasn't taken it real up close and personal with him yet. At this point you need to start legal action, because you're one of very many he's taken money from with nothing in return. Do not wait.

Dang, I can't believe, "un-named" vendor is still getting over on people. Like they say, "once a crook, always a crook." I believe the guys loyal to him over on PT.com finally got tired of him too. :warning: :warning:

You could see it happening years ago. When everyone has the exact same story of taking the money up front and not ordering the parts it cannot be ignored. Oh, he always had a reason and he was a likeable guy, so many defended what was happening.

It's too bad, because he really had something, and then he just threw it away.....

Pardon the narrowing down of your post .........but this right here is why I'd be calling my Credit Card company right now!!!

Yep, call your credit card company yesterday.

Jody I think its going to be a matter of time before this happens! I was a big defender of this person but can't believe this is still going on WOW!! One question is. Why do the credit card companies keep dealing with this person/company??? This has been going on for quite some time now...

How are they not in jail for fraud??

Not trying to hijack this tread with my problems but before I got in contact I google the store, the owner and I haven't found anything so that's why I decided to go ahead and ordered from him, hopefully he will come true and get the parts this week but he has still not gotten in touch with me.
I talked to the bank I use and they can claim the money back they told me, I'm still hoping for a happy ending.
But I'd have to say I'm very frustrated because of all this, it shouldn't happen, if this proves to be a scam I will use a lot of my spear time to get this out to all of the forum I'm @ Ls1tech, pro-touring, lateral-g, ctvsowners, naztyz28 and camaroes.net. I guess all this negative feedback wouldn't be good fore the business.
