I have an ad posted on RJ, titled LS7 WANTED. This guy calls me and says he has one, that he pulled out of a 2009 Z06 wrecked, with 9k miles. He is a truck driver, supposedly for Swift Trucking, and he can drop it off near Cleveland Ohio next week. He only wanted $2500.00 for the motor ( $3500.00 w/ 6 speed). This was his price, not mine. I paid him $200.00 down payment with Pay pal immediately. He is a member here and had engines for sale, seemed like a decent guy who just wanted to get rid of some parts in a hurry. He continued to give me the run around about the engine. I paid him the deposit on Oct. 17th. Now maybe something happened...he sold the engine...he realized it's worth a lot more than $2500.00...I don't know and don't care. The point is....he contacted me, took the deposit, and needs to return it, or be tagged as a known scammer here and kicked off RJ. Anyone who has dealt with me knows that I'm fair in every deal, and I know $200.00 is not a lot. However...a thief is a thief....$200.00 or $200,000.00. If anyone else has dealt with this guy, let me know how it worked out. I don't see his ads here any more.
