i bought a MSD 7al2 from this lowlife--he was in a hurry for me to paypal him because he was leaving the next day for vacation. i asked him to ship immediately because we needed the part. he promised shipping the next morning. i waited three weeks and got an excuse that it was returned by ups but he never provided a shipping number. i'm still waiting and it's in the hands of paypal--he will not return my messages--scammed for $275

What would you like us to do with no information?The add was deleted # 891467


This is why I always reccomend the links to be posted,They can delete the add but the link will still work,where as if the add is deleted the add number won't work.

Without Names addresses landline number,etc,we can't help,maybe call pay-pal with a complaint,but you only have so much time to do that.

his email address is
[email protected]

Lately I have noticed my add number search doesn't work,hmmm I just checked the add number again and it works now.Sorry for the confusion.

I'd say its best to just post the link anyways,saves alot of chasing

If you have no luck going thru filing a lawsuit then please read the 3rd post in this section as to what law has been violated and perhaps you want to go that way...It seems when people are facing going to jail they want to not be a scammer after all and return peoples money....Funny how many times it has worked for other folks that have come here with the info of being scammed...

Let me start by saying that RJ is a great site. I have bought and sold over a hundred items on here in the last five years.

Mr. Ried forgot to mention some fine details.
ON 29MAY he said he wanted the MSD box. He is right that I told him I needed the money on sunday because I was leaving for vacation on monday. I told him I would ship them before I left. I forgot(and apparently he did to at the time), but monday was memorial day (everything is closed). So i took the box on vacation with me, and took time out of my families vacation to find a ups hub and ship it. I tracked it two weeks later and it was at the marion, IL hub. The box (and shipping label) had been damaged. They delivered it to me. I checked the contents, reboxed it and shipped it USPS.

When he says I have not returned his messages, well thats an opinion.
I let him know when it had shipped, I let him know that it had came back to me. I let him know that it had been shipped.

Ask MR. Ried to provide an email or PM that shows him asking me for a tracking number. It does not exist. The only PM's I have recieved from him say "Still Waiting", and most have been replied to.

Until today the only emails I recieved are from where he turned me into paypal. (which i have not replied to him until today because paypal states that you are not supposed to contact him once a charge has been filed)

The bos was shipped express mail by the united states postal service
757823312

When he recieves the package I expect that he will return to this post and appoligize for his words.

He did send me an email today that said he was moving forward with internet fraud charges and that he had contacted my local police dpt.

I replied that I would refund his money on WED, 27JUN if he had not recieved the box by then.

I did not find it fit that he filed all the paperwork, and then ask for a refund. Had he done that he would have saved himeself a lot of time and effort.

Again however, I will refund his money if he does not recieve the package by said date, and will expect him to return the MSD box (or the money when he does recieve the package. I will also expect an appoligy both on here, on the classified site and through email or phone call when he does receive the package

The police will be at my house at 5pm today to look and the paypal reciept, the add I posted, and my USPS receipt.

If anyone has any comments or questions, feel free to contact me on RJ, with the email he provided you, or at 618-967-5068

Thanks for your time
And have a good day

Off the subject, look back in this section for a post about Lanny Blankenship who scammed me back in OCT. The headaches I went through with that, why would I put anyone else through it.

Mr. Kimmel.

You state "Let me start by saying that RJ is a great site. I have bought and sold over a hundred items on here in the last five years. "

Yet you have no profile and have NEVER made an honor payment to RJ.
Why is that?

Is it because you do not feel that this website that allows you to post ads deserves to be comensated for allowing you to post for free?

I am not taking one side over the other, but in light of the "Hundreds of items" you have bought and sold, and the help you received when you "were scammed" I am curious.

If you are as stand up as you indicate you are, then why has it been since May and we are closing in on the end of June and he does not have the msd box?

If it shipped and you had a tracking # why were you not aware of the mishap until you got the package back, and why did you not give the tracking # to your customer?

Some of this just does not add up.

Again, not taking sides, just looking for some realistic answers.

Also, ardyboy, if you do not want to continue this deal with Mr/ Kimmel, have him send you your $$$ back and pay to have the box shipped back to him after you receive it.

Oh btw, Mr. Kimmel, if you intended to sell the box to ardyboy, why is the ad still active?

[thejdge]

Thanks for you input.
I am a RJ member, I pay them money every year. Is that not enough support?

If you read the post. I tracked it before the mishap, my friend. That is how I found out about the mishap and had it delivered to my house.

The ad is still active so everyone on this post can go there to see the add.
and the guys that bought the stuff can access my personal info

BTW. I called the express mail 1-800 number and it was delivered at 11:13 am yesterday. A USPS letter was left sayiny that they will try again the next businees day. If it fails it will be at the post office for 5 business days and then it will be shipped back to the sender.

So Mr. Ried, if you are reading this, call your buddy I shipped it to. He should have the letter.

MY PERSONAL PET PEEVE- :? ---NO---- BEING A MEMBER IS NOT ENOUGH OF A PAYMENT TO A SITE THAT STATES AN HONOR PAYMENT IS APPRECIATED IF YOU SELL ON THIS SITE[ AFTER EVERYTHING IS COMPLETED ON YOUR SELL]-- :idea: -I CATCH FLACK FOR SAYING THIS BUT SO WHAT- :idea: --HONOR IS JUST THAT HONOR[THE PAYMENT PROVES THAT TO OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE LOOKING TO BUY ,SELL, OR TRADE ON THIS GREAT SITE---ISN'T IT ENOUGH THAT THEY SUPPLY THIS SITE AND HAVE SUCH A GREAT FORUM [FREE] TO HELP FELLOW RACERS TO DO AND DEAL BETTER---GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!!--NEXT I WILL HERE FROM SOMEONE THAT HEY' I LIVE IN THIS COUNTRY BUT I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE A CITIZEN OR HELP THIS GREAT COUNTRY IN ANY WAY BECAUSE I AM HERE ILLEGALLY---DUUUHHH- :oops: :oops: -THAT IS ALL--LIVELY 8) 8)

Honor Payments lead to a Higher Rating! Here's how is works.

Your rating icon will be shown on all the ads that you post on Racingjunk.com. The below icons are based on the recomended 1% Honor Payment.


Pays 1% Honor Payment of the AVERAGE Reported Sale Prices and has made over 20 Honor Payments.

Pays 1% Honor Payment of the AVERAGE Reported Sale Prices and less than 20 Honor Payments OR pays an Honor Payment between .85% and .99% of AVERAGE Reported Sale Prices on every sale.

Pays an Honor Payment between .70% and .84% of AVERAGE Reported Sale Prices.

Pays Honor Payment between .50% and .69% of the AVERAGE Reported Sale Prices.

Surely with over 100 items bought and sold that means you have read the very first page to come up after you click on the POST AD button(posted above).... The first thing you have to do is choose to pay an Honor Payment or decline and your choosing to decline? DO YOU REALLY THINK A $49 ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP PAYMENT IS COMPENSATION FOR ALL THE SALES YOUR MAKING? Come on, you type as your are an educated individual so why act like your justified in NOT PAYING the HONOR PAYMENT...Do you really think this site can operate on the membership payments only...When you post on this site you are advertising to the WORLD, not just America...The more Honor Payment you make, the higher your rating seen by your buyers and if they see no rating and they know your making sales, Well that speaks for itself...

So ardyboy.....

What do you have to say about this?

thejdge....you say "I tracked it two weeks later and it was at the marion, IL hub. The box (and shipping label) had been damaged. They delivered it to me. I checked the contents, reboxed it and shipped it USPS."

You also state "ON 29MAY he said he wanted the MSD box. He is right that I told him I needed the money on sunday because I was leaving for vacation on monday. I told him I would ship them before I left. I forgot(and apparently he did to at the time), but monday was memorial day (everything is closed). So i took the box on vacation with me, and took time out of my families vacation to find a ups hub and ship it."

May 29th was a Tuesday AFTER memorial day.

And then say "If you read the post. I tracked it before the mishap, my friend. That is how I found out about the mishap and had it delivered to my house."

So what you are saying is it took two weeks to figure out it was lost and ardyboy did not get his pckg, and you NEVER gave ardyboy the tracking #.
Then you got it back and reboxed and sent it usps and he did not receive it until Friday?

So, in 4 weeks you never sent ardyboy a tracking #, it took almost two more weeks for usps to deliver it.

This I just don't buy, unless you knew that you had dicked ardyboy around..."The ad is still active so everyone on this post can go there to see the add. and the guys that bought the stuff can access my personal info "
1. They already have your personal info, he sent you money right?
2. How did you know we needed to see the ad?
3. Usually once I have sold something I either cancel the ad immediately or if I am selling more than one Item, I go in and modify my ad to reflect the part/parts that ARE sold.

Still not taking sides, it is just your story seems full of holes.

I still want to hear from ardyboy though and find out why he says you never returned his messages if in fact you did.

The fact remains that although this may not be a "Scam" it still smells dirty and you took way to long to get this man his part, and he got you your vacation money immediately.
