In the mean time I bought another pan and belt drive...another $1100.00 gone but at least didn't get scammed again. Tony Scott cost me 6 weeks of racing and missed 3 points races I had to do something to get out with my car/engine.
My question is...Has anyone ever filed a Wire/Mail fraud case and gotten any positive results??? Its a 3rd Degree Felony in Florida and a Federal crime but I don't want to pursue it if it's a dead-end. I have all my evidense/paperwork in order. If not I will start sending people to his house to collect for me...my money or the parts it doesn't matter at this point.
Anyone have any other ideas how to deal with someone that won't communicte at all? I was going to talk with LLE in Naples to see if they can do anything...is this a dead end too???
Thanks for any responses or suggestions.
