I sent him paypal for rear OEM wrx Brakes and spindles over a month ago, I have yet to see brakes. I have since asked for my money back and have NOT seen any money.

His e-mail replies to my requests are slow to return and promise he is "getting" to it. Yet week after week went buy with no action. When I requested my money he said he would send it "when I have it".

Be Warned DO NOT deal with this guy!!!

what's his location and how much $ is involved with this?

Submit a claim through pay-pal?

cancel the credit card charge

i got scammed on a grill from him. He kept saying he'd ship it but never did. Then he stopped replying to all emails and everything. So I just submitted a claim through paypal and i got my money back in like a week and a half. try that.

LOL same M.O. here what a jackhole... wish we didn't have assault laws ;)

Bump to keep peeps warned of this foo.

I would like to add my input...

I contacted Jaime about his 2002 EJ20 he had pulled from his WRX around April. We agreed on a set dollar amount for his engine and harness. I was getting a check from my insurance company, so I had to wait on that first. He didn't want to accept payment through paypal, which made me a little nervous, but assured me that he wasn't gonna screw me over (he claimed he had been burned before as well). So, I sent half the money and requested pics. I never got those nor did I get my shipment info, which I was requesting prior to sending the remainder of the cash. After almost a month of excuses as to why he couldn't arrange shipping, I had a freight company ready to go in 20 minutes.

Upon arrival, the mechanic doing my swap exclaimed how dirty the engine was. No biggie, but what was truly alarming was the missing harness. By this time, it was nearly impossible to contact him via PM's, emails or phone calls. He finally replied to my email with a sob story. I understand things in life go sour, but communication with a business partner must be maintained, otherwise people get the wrong idea.

All in all, I too would recommend staying away from this particular member when it comes to transactions. He simply cannot be relied upon.

After not getting any parts for over a month, and endless excusses, I asked for my money. What a shock, he couldn't give me that either, after months of hounding him, I finally just asked him to send the parts again. Well three weeks later and no response from him.

I only have an e-mail and PM to contact him, which he doesn't seem to check much.

next time just cancel the payment if it takes over a month

This is what I suggest: Keep searching for new posts under his name. Everytime he does, add a post to the thread pointing to this one. Keep the heat on him until the message gets spread.

I think you should contact the police, and have him charged with interstate fraud.

what town/state does he live in?

paypal me $20 and I'll tell ya. ;)

what town/state does he live in?

He's in Dayton Ohio. Although I've never met him, I've seen him at some non-subaru car meets in the past. I've seen multiple complaints here on nasioc about his poor selling history.

Stiletto: I'm not sure how many miles he said were on the engine when you bought it, but I knew the guy that boostd bought his car from.......it had over 40K miles on it when he bought it in the fall of '03.

Also, apparently he has enough money to keep working on his LS1 swap :rolleyes: This is the same guy: http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=380239&page=5&pp=20

Adding that the engine was "tracked" a number of times in 1/4 mile. For whatever that's worth...

talk about one sided...
well anyways, yes i am slow to ship items...
**** happens, im not a company sorry.. as for the rear brakes, i still plan on sending it out... once it comes out which was our initial agreement...
sorry to dissapoint, but you will get your parts...
impatience gets you nowhere..

lol, making people wait a mont and a half, and them not liking it is impatient? wow... if it is a one sided story, feel free to tell your side, however I doubt you would convince anyone to be on your side which is why you didnt bother and said "yes, I am slow to ship items"

I feel bad If i am a day or two late getting things out....

Ben

Boostd,

You wonder why the rest of us folks on DaytonSubies.com never really made an effort to spend any time on you, it's because your reputation preceeds you and honestly it stinks! I know you are having tons of issues outside just your vehicle, with family and friends etc, but at some point you need to step up to the plate and take responsibility for your actions and set things right with everyone on here and on other car forum sites.

I don't get your obsession with street racing against 8-9 sec Mustangs and trying to beat them. First with a modded EJ207, then with a heavily modded 2.2L block and now an LS6 motor conversion. As scores of others have said, you bought the wrong car for this project.

But I'm getting off track. This guy wants his WRX brakes and you deserve to send them to him. If you need help removing them or getting them done, I will personally volunteer to come over, remove them, and ship them to the buyer. There is no reason you can't get those off and send them away. I have done my own brake replacement and could do this in an afternoon.

Pick up the crap you've spread around this forum and others and people will respect you greatly. Not because you have the fastest Subaru in the world, but because you are a decent guy and treat people with respect. That's all we ask.

the original agreement was when it comes out they will be shipped ... no specific time was set..

When you pay somebody for something, and you sit around expecting it...and it NEVER comes? :lol:

lol that was the weakest agreement I ever heard~ :lol:

Wow this guy is a serious choch. That is the weakest argument I have ever heard.

yea... people like him need to be beat with little wooden sticks until the skin breaks in various places - shortly there after the whole nasioc board could get together for a meet and piss on the open cuts........ just my take on things though



just impr3vize-

:shrug, in a mild defense for the guy, i have sold parts that were still on my car in anticipation that i was going to sell them and replace them with something different, and had people banging down my door the very next day wanting to pay me fully realizing that it might be a week or 2 before i could get the stuff shipped out, granted my project cars have always been just that, a project car (not daily driven), so i could remove a set of rear brakes and send them out without any real down-time, but i could understand that if it is someones car that they drive and they need to get the replacement parts and find the time to put them on before they can send out the other parts... i guess i wouldn't point any fingers until i saw the original thread/PM's between the two parties, because at this point its just one mans word against another mans word, reputations aside...

Wow this guy is a serious choch.

^^^^^

If I am selling a car part that's still on the car the only decent thing I can do is not to accept the payment until I am ready to ship the item. Just my way of dealing things. ;)

true, but at the same time if both the buyer/seller agree that it might be a little bit of time before the part can be pulled, but the buyer wants to secure that the part is his by paying for it right away, thats a little different, i've had that happen before with a couple parts cars, a guy wanted the transmission so he paid for it before i even started tearing the car down, it could have been awhile before i got the time to tear the car down but he didn't mind, just wanted to make sure it was spoken for... all i'm saying, is MAYBE they made a deal like that and reality isn't quite like the buyer thought (having to wait), we just dont know because neither of them have really given much insight as to what the original deal was...

I didn't even start getting irritated with the guy untill over a month had passed, I gave him so much time, he would hardly return e-mail.

thats fine, all i'm saying is that i can relate to the guys situation, and i dont know if your full of **** or not, i've been on the receiving end of a jack-ass buyer who bought some used parts off of me and when he realized they were used threw a hissy fit and very well could have ruined all my credibility as an honest seller, all because he was an idiot, not saying that you are, but i do have personal experience where everyone turns against you because of what the buyer says, when its not even really the sellers fault that the buyer doesn't agree with the original terms because they dont end up being quite like he had thought...

but if in fact the seller in this instance is being a dousche, my apologies, i just try to not jump on the bandwagon and immediately side with the buyer like EVERYONE always does, it just makes it that much harder for a seller in the long run...

How cool is that. One member offering to help another in order to help another he has never met. Tubbytreats, the world needs more people like you.

Tubby runs the best local site I have seen. Knowing him mostly from the Internet, and meeting him a few times at local meets, I can honestly say that's how he is.

We GENERALLY try to be this way in our little hole of Ohio, but it only takes one person to mess up a reputation, and think we are all backwards rednecks! :lol:

Sry...back on topic. pm for help or info as well...

Hes prolly waiting till he has no pads left, busted a hole ain a piston boot, then broke off the bleeder screw....Thats when he'll take it off and shipp em

Good luck

no i talked to him today on the phone, and we have everything settled.. i try to make it right...
i didnt realize on the harness(the motor i sold) that it was the whole cars harness... i offered to cut off the connectors for the ecu so he could wire them in, but i really saw no other solution...
sorry for the bad deals... i have been trying to improve my business ethics recently, and we were miscommunicating on when the rear was coming out.. as for the guy saying i would screw them up then ship them to him... umm dude my car doesnt even have a motor in it.. its been sitting for the past 9 months....
but hey i know how id feel in the same situation and i am giving him his $$$ back no bull****.. just waiting on some cash flow..

He did return my phone call pretty fast and said he would make things right. I hope he will do so and we can put everything behind us. I hope to that things in his life take a ture for the better. I wish boostd no ill will and hope he can get himeslf in a good place as things sounded a little shakey foir him.

I do understad that life can get in the way at times.

I will let everyone know when he makes things right.

:)

Good thread. It is nice to see a happy ending.

That's good to hear. Hopefully everything works out for the best for everybody. Good luck with the LS1 swap as well.......anxious to see it at Kil-Kare next summer.

I don't understand how people can just spend someone else's money and not think twice about it. Until the part(s) is sent out, it still wouldn't be your money.

boostd if your life is shakey perhaps you should stop using your time, energy and money to modify your cars and concentrate on getting your life back on track. I've been in tough spots before and fully concentrating on fixing the situation is the top priorty. good luck

What's the status on this? I'm still willing to rip out the brakes and mail them to this guy if Boostd doesn't have time. (I know he's gonna be working loads of overtime to pay for the tranny and welding work for motor mounts...)

hey tubby i got it handled .. hes got the parts already, im sending his money back..

impatience gets you nowhere..
:eek: :huh: :eek: :furious:

What the Fluck..... Thats a piss poor responce. I think we should restrict his site access to this thread til he clears this **** up......

People have sent you money. Send them the parts, plain and simple. Failure to do this is breaking a few differant laws that carry a few years of time...

If you cant send the parts. You best stop your little project car and sell off some of those parts to start paying people back with... I would hate for people here to have to ruin your other threads at other sites to ask for there money back.

You would not be the 1st person to go to jail over something like this.. And sence this is the internet you will not be the last......

Take care of your sales..... Dont leave people hanging...

06STi - read the whole thread. i think you missed the last few posts.

Boostd - be sure to follow thru. :-)

Well today is the 23rd and I have herd nothing... so I will check with him after the Holiday. I did get the parts from supermoose and it only took like 3 days, very good guy.

I wish I was rich, then I could care less about a few bucks.. ;)

That's why we come here!! ;)

check should be here by monday... got sent out from cuyahoga falls yesterday afternoon...06sti everyone but 2000WRX has been given a refund, thru paypal...

2000WRX please pm me your phone number so that i can call you when the check arrives..

PM sent :)

That's find the bass. and hang him..arrrrrrrrrrrrrr

boostd if your life is shakey perhaps you should stop using your time, energy and money to modify your cars and concentrate on getting your life back on track. I've been in tough spots before and fully concentrating on fixing the situation is the top priorty. good luck

Agreed... car are great and everything...
but...
Life>Cars

hmmm still no word...

i cant call from my phone, but im still waiting on slow ass mail man..

good thing I don't charge interest. ;)

right.... im callin on it tommorrow and finding out where the damned thing is at.. it was supposed to be sent out tuesday..

the original agreement was when it comes out they will be shipped ... no specific time was set..

I think thats all anyone needs to know about you. :lol:

:( for anyone unlucky enough to attempt to do business with this *****.

i've sat here and read this whole thing and even after all the "i'm making things right" spill ur still not handling ur sh!%. bottom linr ur a sorry MF, u dont have any honor or respect for anyone who puts faith in ur word.

which in short u need to act like an adult and not a child.

i have taken everything to pm with 2000WRX...
no need to know our business... im sure when its handled he will let you all know..

Well just to keep things up to date, no money has found me yet... :(

:shrug, in a mild defense for the guy, i have sold parts that were still on my car in anticipation that i was going to sell them and replace them with something different, and had people banging down my door the very next day wanting to pay me fully realizing that it might be a week or 2 before i could get the stuff shipped out, granted my project cars have always been just that, a project car (not daily driven), so i could remove a set of rear brakes and send them out without any real down-time, but i could understand that if it is someones car that they drive and they need to get the replacement parts and find the time to put them on before they can send out the other parts... i guess i wouldn't point any fingers until i saw the original thread/PM's between the two parties, because at this point its just one mans word against another mans word, reputations aside...


yeah but is that what was really said or did he mislead them? :furious: :mad: :furious: :mad: :furious: :mad: :furious: :mad: :furious: piece of ****....

i have taken everything to pm with 2000WRX...
no need to know our business... im sure when its handled he will let you all know..

:huh: Wow this thread started on 8-30-05 and as of this morning (12-9-05) no money or parts to 2000WRX. That's just amazing.

Boostd, please cut out the indignant act. This thread started on 8/30 which means this all started a month before that. You've brought this upon yourself. You're nearing half a year and still haven't done right, come on thats bulls**t.

Boostd cant give him the money back, frankly people like him get money and they spend it. Now its gone and he has no replacement part for his car so he will continue to dance around the bush until 2000wrx calls the local authorities with the money order stub and files an official complaint. Then presses charges for fraud. this will grab this persons attention when an officer comes to his door and asks about the situation although its a lenghty process and takes some effort, well worth it in my opinion.

I would have done it after 1 week but hey thats me.

2000wrx call the local police ask to talk to a detective and file an official complaint to press charges. goto your local court house pick up the paperwork for small claims and file the documentation toward this guy. may not be very big now but it will all catch up to the person in the end.

boostd good luck in your life it must be tough for you and for that I am sorry I hope one day you decide what is important and what is not.

i have his money, but im glad you have insight to my situation... anyways, as soon as i get a confirmed paypal address he will have his money back and this thread can be closed..
and there is no need for legal action as i have tried to be accomodating to everyone so far.. except for 2000WRX, everyone seems to want gold for the price of paper...

Sent PM on Monday with correct paypal account...

My Cousin lives in Dayton. I wouldn't mind going down for a trip and "checking up" on this guy. Let us all know how this works out. F'in horrible seller!

We need about twenty members in each state that can hunt down scammers and try to resolve problems like this.

Boostd, I will not jump on the "you are an evil idiot and we should all beat you" bandwagon. Stuff happens to everybody, and we don't know anything about your life beyond what we see here.

But you have made and broken numerous promises to lots of people, it would seem. People have offered to help you get the parts shipped and you didn't make it happen. If you ever hope to salvage your reputation, you will cease your "impatience will get you nowhere" attitude, submit a sincere and lengthy apology, and in the future UNDERpromise and OVERdeliver. You have thus far OVERpromised and UNDERdelivered.

Perhaps a little bit of explanation of your life troubles, without too much personal detail of course, will let folks know what kept you from honoring your commitments. So far, it looks to us like you don't care about your customers and are too busy working on and paying for your ridiculous LS swap :huh: to be bothered. Prove us wrong. We're mostly optimists who would rather see you make it right than cut you down.

I'm not holding my breath.

We need about twenty members in each state that can hunt down scammers and try to resolve problems like this.


I live in NJ and it wouldn't be the first time I've taken a road trip to "check up" on a part I paid for. If anyone has a problem in NJ let me know. A wake up call is usually needed in these situations.

Still no PM back or money... I will keep you posted, Boostd's MO is rather long spells between contact though. I hope he can get the money to me soon and I can be done with all of this.

i do care.. but at the same time i cant appease every one..
i have sent 2000WRX a payment, and stilletto, i need that address again to send you the harness connectors...

Well he has sent me some money, with any luck he will send the rest soon and this will all be done.

dayum.... i wonder if you would have got anywhere if you didn't start this thread. such BS

I'd held hope that Jamie would do the right thing, I was very pissed for a while. Then I just conceded that I lost the money. I started this thread and re-contacted him and all started heading in the right direction.

I hope that Jamie can get his life in order. I know what it is like to be on hard times and hope that he can learn from this. In the end I hope that he learns to communicate much better. If he had been in closer communication and let me know what was going on more I would have been more understanding.

I thank him for sending a chuck of the money, and hope he can make good on the rest soon and move on toward getting everything in his life together.

i still like the wooden stick idea -

I live in NJ and it wouldn't be the first time I've taken a road trip to "check up" on a part I paid for. If anyone has a problem in NJ let me know. A wake up call is usually needed in these situations.

How about Scarface style? Go over, stab a guy in the stomach and say "FROM A FRIEND YOU F*CKED!!!" That would be badass.

Wow, yea that would be badass... what are like 12.

He has sent me some money and with any luck I hope to see the rest soon. He hasn't delt with situation in the best way, but I am not hurting for money, and have been blessed in the past to see very few hard times. So I hope he can get things going well for his life, and learn from this.

Update, well nothing to update still owes me the rest of the money. Lets hope he can pay me soon and start the new year off well.

:)

This has sure dragged :(

I think local pick up has to be the only way I'd do private

He needs his f'in head cracked. I got stiffed once and had to handle the guy.
Worked out fine for me in the end but only because I made things happen.
Lets just say that guy won't be screwing others over. ;)

tell me again why people sell parts they havent taken off the car yet?

I guess he is out of work again, so I am back to waiting on the last 100.00 Though I thought he was getting a 2K check from something, wonder where that went. Parts for his LS1/WRX I guess.

nope... still waiting on it.. workmans comp takes forever..

hehehe darn gov...

Well, here we are and i'm still waiting on the remaining balance of 100.00 to be paid. I wonder if this will make it to a full year. :)

i am going up to dayton ohio in a few weeks... i am more than happy to pay a quick visit to help speed up the process if you wish.....

Bump for update. A bunch of us in Dayton want to know if this was ever resolved and what we can do to help! :cool:

I 2nd that motion. I've posted in here a long time ago (and actually had thought the issue was resolved) but apparently it hasn't. I'm in Dayton OH as well and would definately take the initiative to find out what happened in this situation and correct it to the best of my abilities for the sake of helping out.

We need a forum for slow shippers and scammers to put their addresses and phone numbers on a list so we can find these people and do what is needed to be done.... :devil:

ALSO - I can count about five different posts where Boostd mentions "money is in the mail" or "check has been sent". If that doesn't upset you Boostd, your word can never be trusted. I know you have family and home issues to deal with, and this is probably not #1 on your list, but putting this guy on hold and yanking his chain for over 9 months now is simply ludicris.

I am still owed 100.00 bucks. I have heard nothing for a long while. Other than a PM telling my to stop posting updates cause he "will" pay me.

Everybody needs to vote on my poll and see if we can get the mods to set a new selling rule, check it out in the For Sale Threads.

nope... still waiting on it.. workmans comp takes forever..

Pathetic.

LOL now he is claiming that he has paid me in full, (on LS1tech) where he is known as LS1_boostdscubaru I think. I tried calling him but he isn't taking my calls :)

If anyone would like to give him a call feel free to PM me for the number ;) I have accepted tha I will never see the rest of my money at this point.

BoostdScubaru-

I trust you. What parts do you have for sale now? I need WRX brakes more than anything.

well i would gladly sell the brakes that he never bought.. and you could just paypal it to him, and id just need some $$ for shipping.. i only want $100 + shipping for them...
these are the rears with the knuckles if you need them..
i can ship them out monday if need be..
2000WRX i have no paypal so feel free to pm me your address and i'll mail a money order this week..
i havent been able to respond to much, my computer is down, and a lot of bull**** happened that the courts are fixing, but yes i can mail you the last $100...

I'll pick them up. Where and when can we meet?

how is this guy still going around?

you paypal 2000WRX and im in dayton ohio

Hmmm you should have my phone number since I have called you a couple times now. Funny I didn't get a call back. I'll call you tonight to see how serious you are about paying me my money.

Though seeing as you were spouting off on LS1tech that you don't owe me any money I will be surprised if you truely want to make things right.

And this is why we have feedback...

Boosted, I'd rather just bring you the cash. I'm sure you can understand. Can we do it that way this weekend?

I hate scammers... good luck getting your stuff/money, i would love to take a bat to some of these scammers knee's !!!

neither party had feedback --- that explains it all - live and learn - but ive been in a similar situation -- only with rods and pistons --- and its still dragging for over a year ---- best advice is to take a deep breath and call your lawyer - or uncle vinny and his henchmen...

wow, i can't believe i had to read to whole thread to see how pathetic some ppl can be.."ill change my business ethics..blah blah bull$h it"

once a scammer, always will be. I 2nd the BAN!

Just a lil bump so people all know what a scamming tool this guy is. :)

I don't get it. I said I'd bring him cash, and he didn't get back to me. It's like he didn't want to meet up. Like he didn't have the stuff. huh.

Just an FYI this guy is still a toothless, trailer park living, lowlife, white trash, loser whose children will be a burden to society.


Have a nice day

any updates?

after reading both threades on here and the ls1 site i take it this dude is outta here....i'm sure he's done posting or for now. He knows what he did and how big of a loser he is....its just sad people on that stupid ass ls1 site still have his back even tho he's trash...some people have no morals..

From the pictures on ls1tech.com his kid looks like an ugly crackhead and will probably grow up selling rocks from the debt that his deat beat dad put him through.

I'd like to see pictures of him and his wife next. To see where the ugliness of that redneck kid comes from.

Now send us back all of our money and the kid won't be so ugly to me.
