Greg you are the man. That is some really great information and nice to see some help from a fellow car guy. The laws are very different in the US.

Hellrace ---


Since I believe your issue falls into the INTENTIONAL department ----- I'd first contact those links I provided. This would be FREE to you and may do more to get you squared away than an attorney (which I'm sure this guy is very familiar with) writing "demand letters" for you.

You get the FBI or Police department beating on this guys door -- it might get things moving. I would however DEMAND a full immediate refund. I would NOT take this assholes word for anything. He'll want to ship parts etc --- but then you still have to deal with him -- and the parts will be shipped WRONG -- and or defective -- or just a box of dead crap so he can claim he shipped etc.

You want to wash your hands of this -- and PRESS CHARGES!! This creep should be in the federal penitentiary (jail).

Here's a website that lists CIVIL lawyers in Clearwater, Florida.

The problem with lawyers in the US === they specialize in various types of law... so you'd have to contact one or two of these firms and ask them if they handle this kind of litigation. I'd also ask them if they do not --- can they recommend a firm that does.

But FIRST and IMMEDIATELY --- I'd be trying to press your issue via the law... as in the FBI and or local police department. YOU want to make this a criminal issue FIRST.... if at all possible. That's going to build the heat the quickest.

Of course the hard part -- actually the KEY to making it criminal is the "INTENT"... and given how many complaints there are about this outfit -- I think you could make a case for that.

Not sure in the US but here if you accept any portion of the order than it is a totally different game. For example if you were to receive one part of the order than it becomes a un-fulfilled order and nothing the law can help you with. Like Greg says accept only 100% refund of your cash. Not sure of the US laws but don't do anything without some legal advice.

Over $250k owed!!!! WOW!

There is already an open case against the thieves. Better get in line. Sorry.

[GregWeld]

Ya got me thinking now ---- HAHAHAHAHAHAHA



In order to build a case for "INTENT" -- and in the USA -- definition is everything. Lawyers will argue to the death over little "words" --- even though everyone knows what's really the issue...

So I'd be contacting any supplier of the parts you ordered to find out if this outfit is on "credit hold" and or has YOUR parts ON ORDER with them... and if so any dates ==== dates are CRITICAL in this case.... because to show INTENT you're going to have to prove that he knew he couldn't possibly deliver your goods even though he took your money. That's where you're going to have to drill down and do some digging!

The "complaint" will need to be very factual.

You sometimes find in these situations -- that the "law" has been waiting to get a guy on stuff like this -- but they never quite get the chance because they deliver at the last minute -- or someone isn't very factual etc. In your case you have the added fact that you're international AND you have several grand involved.

[GregWeld]

Make sure you have your phone records to show that you've called --- but have NOT received ANY phone calls back from them. Remember you're building a case for INTENT TO DEFRAUD.... there's a very fine line between INTENT and just being a lazy bozo...


ALSO -- document and print out any emails with dates etc that you've sent and received (or not) and have them in chronological order... Again -- you want to show that you've sent several unanswered emails. You want to show that all the emails etc worked JUST FINE --- right up until they got your money!


I'd go back and document from the very first contact. Doing this will show that GETTING THE ORDER they were very fast with responses.... but once they received the money --- then they went unresponsive. Once again -- you're trying to build a case for INTENT. They went out of their way to get the money -- then dropped off the face of the earth so to speak.
