I sent him a cashiers check for $570. He said his bank told him 2 week wait to clear it. I said OK no problem.
It's been over 3 weeks now and I've been getting suspicious excuses. The last of which was he didn't have my shipping address. It was on the envelope the check was in.
I called and got a female who said he was out and he'd call when he came back. No call back.
I sent him an e-mail tonight saying I wanted the shipping info by Monday night or proof of $570 coming back to me.
If he doesn't come through, I have the name and phone number of Tulsa prosecuting attny.
I got ripped off about 7 years ago by a scammer. I spent a few thousand to get back $600, but got the con man 5 years in the Penitentiary for Fed fraud. But I learned a few tricks on that one.
I'll let you know how this turns out.

Hummm. i live just 30 miles north west of tulsa.. tell him if he dosnt have time or he is way to busy to ship them,, give them to me and i will ship them..but it does take 10 days for a casiers check to clear. so i wouldnt see why he wont ship them,, also post up his name and info,, i bet he races Tulsa and we will know who it is <<<

Thanks BigRay.
He is Steve Cook.
2004 North Darlington Place, Tulsa, OK.
918 398 7349
The street he lives on consists of a number of older mostly run down houses. His is a grey 768 sq foot sitting on a 7000 sq foot lot with a small single car garage out back. Chain link fence surrounds the property.
Also at some point in time a business called "Cook Enterprises Mobil Home Service" was located at the address, although the phone number that was associated with this business is now listed to "Tomas Llamas" from a completely different address.
A friend of mine from Mounds Ok. asked about him on the TRP board, and one person answered that they thought he raced there in 2009.
I'm giving him tomorrow to show me a tracking number as proof as shipment, if it is not done, then I will employ every means at my disposal to collect and have him incarcerated.
I thank you and appreciate your offer and may take you up on it.

not being picky BUT-- the add was posted 2011-01-30--which does not add up to OVER 3 WEEKS WAITNG--NOT UNLESS THE TIME SYSTEM HAS CHANGED--[IT IS NOW 2011-02-13] :shock: :shock:

MAYBE YOU ARE NOT COUNTING PROPERLY--I COULD BE WRONG BUT 13 DAYS IS NOT OVER 3 WEEKS!!! 8)
I WOULD CHECK ON A TRACKING # AND WAIT AWHILE LONGER BEFORE I LOOKED BAD IN FRONT OF A COURT :oops: :cry:

Yes I saw the date on the add. That is wrong. I messaged him on RacingJunk 1/16/11 to tell him I wanted them. Then I sent him the money two days later. Given US mail delivery I figure 2/3 days untill it was in his hands.
Anyway he acknowledged getting the check and also that the bank clearance time was up.
I just got off the phone with him after calling and hiding my ID. I've been calling all morning with ID shown and no one would pick up.
He said he's been real busy and apologized because he hasn't had time to ship. He promised to ship them tomorrow and send me tracking info.
Maybe he is truthful, we'll see tomorrow.
Funny thing about the ad date though. I can't explain that.
I clicked on the "Report the sale" button and get a message that the item has already been sold, yet I don't see anywhere on the ad page that mentions that it has been sold, and I can't leave any feedback.
Maybe the Admins. can come on board and explain how this is happening.

see if the tracking # comes thru--if not come back and let us know :lol: :lol:
we is hungry :twisted: :twisted:

LOL. Yes Sir I will. Hopefully I will report that everything is in order. :D

hope it works out, but i tell ya what,, i will be in tulsa tomorrow, for a funeral, if he cant get to the post office, call me Ray Morris 918-694-9099 and i will go pick them up and send them to ya,, i have been on this forum for a long time,,and i make my honor payments, i am not a scammer trying to get your stuff, i am just trying to help., soo if you get him on the phone, let me know, and give me a call, i can swing by his place,,

Thank You Ray, very nice of you. It's good to know, that sometimes when you question the overall goodness of mankind, there are still people of honor that will go out of their way to help a neighbor or complete stranger.
My hats off to you.

your very welcome,, i had a deal go bad on me sometime back. and a guy in Florida went and picked it up for me, and shipped it to me,, i am telling ya, it is getting very hard to do any money order, or cashiers checks or ?? any mail stuff, you just never know if there gonna mail you your stuff, heck any more i just buy from Jegs or Summit,

ignorance is bliss
 

YOU SENT A CHECK NOT A POSTAL MONEY ORDER IT TAKES 10 BUSINESS DAYS FOR AN OUT OF STAKE BANK DRAFT TO POST TO MY BANK ACCOUNT WE HAD RECORD SNOW IN OKLAHOMA IN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS AND MY BANK WAS CLOSED FOR SEVERAL DAYS IM NOT SENDING ANYTHING BEFORE IM PAID !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THERE FORE YOU WILL BE RECIEVING YOUR MONEY BACK AND I HAVE STOPPED SHIPMENT OF THE ROCKERARMS [/img]

aaaaaaa-in his first post he stated a cashiers check was sent!!! was it?? you do not answer your phone from people you sell to??? why???
soooo-as soon as the check clears the parts will be sent at that moment?? RIGHT??
JUST CHECKING ON THE CORRECT FACTS 8) 8)

All good points. I think he is full of it. Sorry you could of picked up the phone. :idea:

no im not sending anything but this AS$%^$$#^LES MONEY BACK

I have talked to david clapp every time he called he cant say that I did not

Why you mad at him ?????????? you got his cash and his tuff...

not mad I just lost 4500$ on a bad bank draft and I will not be screwed again maybe you can understand but now he has reported me as a scammer the deal is off he will be getting his money back not the rock arms he can call jesel they have them for 1400 and they will take alot longer than three weeks to send your rockers no matter how you pay for them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry if I'm wrong about you Steve, but you also told me at 7:40 PM tonight when I called you that they had been shipped today, and you didn't have the tracking number with you, but would call me back tonight and give it to me. To which I said just e-mail me the number.
Now you say you're not going to ship them and will send my money back?
I have records of every call that I made, whether someone answered, if I used caller ID, and what was talked about. Along with every e-mail and Racingjunk communication.
If you are not trying to scam me, I'm very sorry and would have retracted this whole thread with an apology and a "Steve is a great guy".
But at the very least you were a irreresponsible seller.
I understand the snow storm was a detractor, but if I had $570 of another mans money and wasn't going to be able to ship as was discussed, I would be reaching out to him to give shipping status daily, instead of making him contact me.
Yes please send me a cashiers check for the money. When I recieve it I will come on here and clear your name.

ANYBODY CAN COME ON BY ANY TIME I DO RACE AT TULSA AND WILL CONTINUE TO RACE AT TULSA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: ignorance is bliss
 

geeeee-I AM CONFUSED NOW
YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE CHECK TO CLEAR but- YOU ARE NOT SENDING THE PARTS BUT-- YOU ARE SENDING HIS MONEY BACK THAT YOU SAID YOU ARE WAITING TO CLEAR THE BANK WHICH MEANS THAT YOU DO OR DO NOT HAVE 'HIS' MONEY FROM YOUR BANK -YET :roll: :roll:

I KNOW IT SNOWED TERRIBLE IN OK --BUT--IS THAT A RESON TO NOT SEND HIS PARTS :oops: :oops:

BUT AT 7;40 TONIGHT YOU SAID YOU SHIPPED THE PARTS ALREADY 8) 8) 8)

just curious , what went bad with the bank draft deal, money was in your account ? just looking to not get screwed the same way

Take the high road and show him you are not a scammer ,every one will see you did the right thing. People get blamed all the time. They prove they are not and life go's on. :wink: I have to say ,I would worry to that is a lot of cash.

IAM CANCELLING THE SHIPMENT DUE TO YOU REPORTING ME AS A SCAMMER AND HANDING OUT MY NUMBER AND ADDRESS IF YOU NEED A SET OF ROCKER ARMS CALL JESEL

Yes. I am not mad either. I was just worried about my shipment, mostly because he had promised to ship last Monday along with some other stuff he had to ship. I understand the snowstorm has caused them a lot of trouble, but I still want to protect my investment.

Well he could of called you.

iT WAS A COUNTERFIET BANK DRAFT THE BANKING INFORMATION WAS ALL LEGIT BUT THE BANK HAD NOT ISSUED IT I LET THE CAR GO AND IN 3 DAYS MY BANK TOLD ME IT WAS NO GOOD MY LOSS FOR TRUSTING PEOPLE I WILL NOT ANY MORE

I'll say again, I'm not mad at Steve.
Seems like a good dude on the phone. I still haven't figured out exactly what happened.
But I'm going to blame it on
MISCOMUNICATION
I'm probably as much to blame as anybody. I apologise.
