Hey all,

Yes.. it's another *WRXPOOH scammed me thread :rolleyes: *

bought a 2004 STi gauge cluster from wrxpooh for $300.00.. so i thought..

I sent him money through paypal
He waited
I disputed transaction saying "item not shipped yet"
He then sent it
I recieved it. Broken.
Paypal then tells me *transaction complete* because he has a tracking number through UPS.

Great... now I have a broken gauge cluster and paypal is helpless because of their flawed system. (One dispute per claim) :furious:

Call him, he says "send it back through UPS, I'll handle it"

couple days... nothing :rolleyes:

I call UPS, they say.. "Yeah we're not covering it because it was *insufficient packaging* when it was originally shipped.

I have sent emails, PM's, and no response. What a suprise..

I know you're gonna read this, so please WRXPOOH, Andrew Yim, just let me know you exist so I don't have to believe you're trying to scam me.

Remember.. one week from January 4th is when I start calling people. I know you'll have time to read this because.. I know you check nasioc every day, even though you don't feel it is your responsibility to return my PM's :)

bump up

bump again holy crap this forum moves fast

bump for you to get this resolved

thanks bump

bump again

Bump, sorry that you got scammed Ted, if you want to make a house call, buy us 2 plane tickets.

Heh.. I like diplomacy... but I think arranging a subie meet *near* his house would be just as effective ;)

what itches me is i send a perfectly good conditioned cluster, and you send it back with a broken tab and a shattered glass. you also send the cluster back before ups can pick up the package from MY claim. i told you not to do anythign with the package and wait for ups to pick it up. so it alarms me that you would just send it on your own and totally throw out my claim. that cluster was VERY well packaged. everything i have ever sold on this forum was VERY well packaged. how do i know? i PAY UPS THEMSELVES TO PACKAGE it for me. UPS has packaged EVERY package I've sold here on this forum and im sure everybody who has received something from me can verify that.

i told you already i'm not giving you 300 dollars and me end up with a broken bezel that i cannot resale without putting money into fixing it. you can have your broken cluster back.

Maybe the person that packaged it at ups dropped it while packaging it . Instead of taking the heat figured the money would be refunded anyway . I package my own items so I know it's done right .

wrxpooh your a tool.

I just checked your seller feedback and you sent HighSpeedRacerX damaged items aswell.

Ted, if i were you i would contact the authorities, moderators, and paypal if you used it.

Im PMing a mod with this thread and getting this guy labeled.

wrxpooh, if UPS packaged it then please explain this

"I call UPS, they say.. "Yeah we're not covering it because it was *insufficient packaging* when it was originally shipped."

I hate people like you who dont belong on these boards.

:huh: I left it outside for UPS to pick it up..

Also.. the sides of the box were BULGING because it was such a tight fit, and you used 3 (three, count them, three) pieces of newspaper.

If UPS had packaged it.. then call them and tell them to refund it. It's really that simple. No more games, no more crap. GET IT FIXED.

P.S. If you want to make sure it IS in fact your cluster that was broken, and I didn't pull *the 'ole switcharoo*.. try plugging it into your car.. mileage look familiar? :rolleyes:

.. You're going to call the authorities for taking $300 dollars from me and not responding for weeks? :huh:

Maybe if you would respond to me within 2 weeks instead of trying to ignore the situation we could resolve this. yes? Communication. Try it. It works wonders, and will clean up this mess alot faster than me having to call Email, PM, call you over and over and over... very annoying..

Besides.. at this point I really would not mind you just sending the cluster, and the broken tab, and dropping the issue entirely.. that way I at least get SOMETHING for my money. :rolleyes:

wrxpooh, it really shows how smart you are when you correct other people. Instead of proving your smart on your own, you have to shine in others faults.

Edit: I need to keep emotions seperate from facts.

Just man up to your mistakes and solve the problem, atleast refund half his money even tho he didnt do anything wrong.

Sooo many disputes because of carriers (FedEx, UPS, USPS, CP) throwing, breaking, stealing, loosing, not paying insurances/claims on packages.....they all fooking sucks. :furious: laughing at us!! :mad:

^^^ So many disputes because lazy sellers dont care to fix problems they cause. This is my FIRST AND ONLY transaction that has lasted more than a week. And I've been doing business for a while.

ANYTHING can be solved if you stop trying to ignore it

Keep this at the top for a mod to make it a sticky.

I know this post isnt helpful to the situation, but you get a free bump.


I hate the overuse of the word SCAMMER. A scammer takes your money and doesnt send you anything. The buyer in this case doesnt think the item was damaged when the guy sent it out; both parties seemingly agree it was damaged during handling. It was damaged either because of careless UPS handling or poor packaging by either the seller or UPS.

You package something poorly and youre a scammer when it gets damaged? No, youre just careless.

As far as contacting authorities, good luck with that. If I was in the seller's shoes, and if I truly did pay UPS for packaging (debatable), I wouldnt refund you $300 either as Id done nothing wrong. At best I'd refund half out of kindness, but after someone whines and bashes me on the forum Id think twice.

Also its always nice how a dozen people jump on the scammer bandwagon without being involved. I read about his transaction with HighspeedRacerX and its not the same situation. The guy knew about the damage beforehand, so lets not jump to conclusions and say this guy is a scammer when all his transactions but this one have gone fine.

It's you're, not your. er, no. your feedback.

you're feedback = you are feedback = :huh:

if UPS was paid to pack the thing, there should be a receipt showing that... imo should not have been sent back until UPS dispute was resolved and those things take awhile because no one at UPS gives a crap.

jumpingoffbandwagon

He called UPS, and nothing happened. I called them and asked what I have to do to fix it and they said just leave the package outside, UPS guy will pick it up and we will inspect it. So I left it outside. It went away. Now I'm out $300 for no apparent reason.

I will say that UPS is an especially big pain to deal with as a buyer. They expect the seller to just ship out a replacement and handle everything. They lost two of four wheels on me once :huh: and would only communicate with the shipper. Sometimes I would just tell them I was the shipper to get some informaton out of them. They are set up to deal with large companies, not indivduals possibly lacking in communiation skills.

anyway, tough situation, good luck...

not taking sides or anything, but the item i bought from wrxpooh was packaged good. it was in a fedex box and shipped thru fedex. i never use ups because they suck and have the worse customer service ever.

wrxpooh - If you did in fact have UPS package this, please scan the receipt showing that you paid for packaging and shipping of the guage bezel. That would easily get you off the hook and show Lexington as the problem is in this transaction.

Agreed...

If you can prove UPS packaged it, they would be at fault.

I have a feeling you packaged it though, because it was packaged in newspaper with Chinese Script on it. Not many UPS's carry those.. :)

Again.. at this point.. I'm ready to just take the broken thing so you dont drag this on for weeks and weeks. I'll find a way to fix it as long as the thing works when I plug it in. :rolleyes:

Chinese Script


FTW!!!!

wrxpooh = chinese FTW!!!

well. i ordered you a glass cover from subarugenuineparts.com and that cost me 25 bucks. im gonna try and see if i can do anything about that tab. i will fix as much of it as i can.

wrxpooh = chinese FTW!!!are you trying to say something? you're a 19 year old with a 30k car. let your parents spoil you and shut your mouth please. i'm all for you supporting your friend, but dont get childish.

are you trying to say something? you're a 19 year old with a 30k car. let your parents spoil you and shut your mouth please. i'm all for you supporting your friend, but dont get childish.

Haha, my parents didnt give me a dime. Dont envy me so much.

But nice job on making good on your behalf with Ted. Your being a big man for righting your wrongs. This will prove all of us screaming "scammer" that we got you all wrong and your a good guy after all

I congradulate you.

And ask anyone who knows me, i paid for everything out of my own pocket.

and hey, im 20 next month =)

So im a 20 year old who drives a well over 40k car now and baught it and modded it myself. Doesnt it suck?

well. i ordered you a glass cover from subarugenuineparts.com and that cost me 25 bucks. im gonna try and see if i can do anything about that tab. i will fix as much of it as i can.

Thank you for finally getting back to me and at least trying to fix it.

If you want to just order that plastic cover and ship it to me with the broken tab taped to the back of the cluster in the box or something, I'm fairly certain I can rig something up.

Also... on the "young people get everything from mommy and daddy train of thought"...

I'm 18.. and I'm about a month away from buying myself an STi. All mom and dad do is let me have some garage space.. sometimes :rolleyes: :lol:

Same here. Hard work man. Thats where its at.

edit:

hoping to get this resolved bump

damn kinda like the jerry springer show,but no white trash..

everyone from the midwest is white trash yo...

bump for a resolution

I'm sure we can get this squared away. If you dont mind me asking, why'd you buy an sti cluster, when you're close to buying an sti? I just figure when you're 18-20, there are much better things to spend money on then cars. But, hey, who am I to judge.

<-- could have baught a house, but choose to live in the car.

Well, my cluster is not working properly.. I need a cluster, and my interior is Red.

Therefore: I need an STI cluster to match.

wrxpooh, sorry for that comment earlier, seems you are doing good on your side of this transaction.

i was simply making a connection between the newspaper and a nationality, no racism implied. I mean im russian, i am in no position to be racist since im a dumb, angry, vodka drinking alky. =)

Hope nothing but good comes from this ordeal and both sides are happy.

since you seem to read this thread but nothin else.. could you please email me @ tjthelin@comcast.net

or PM me

or call me

or anything to let me know that something is happening with this?

if he shipped it and had ups pack it, itll likely have been shipped from a UPS store. If so, the label should have the stores info on it, ans bill connected with it that says they packed it as well. If not, he's a liar and hes scamming you.

It WAS shipped from a UPS store.. which is why I think the "insufficient packaging" is bogus.. he should be able to call them and say "You guys packaged it insufficiently" and that would be the end of it, both parties get $300 dollars, do not pass go.

Bump ! but dont break anything :)

and i feel bad when i over pack, double box. plenty o plastc bags for cushion and fill. people who get my packages are probably like *** are all these newspapers and plastic bags for :confused: . this dudes paks wierd. im just happy none my crap ever broke in transit.

Just call paypal and tell them it was an empty box, **** em over.

was the cluster packaged only in newspaper? i've only bought one thing from someone stupid enough to package in newspaper and he was also stupid enough to put in in a box that was too small and the item broke through the side of the box.

NEWSPAPER IS NOT ACCEPTABLE PACKAGING MATERIAL...why is it so hard to find bubble wrap or peanuts?

dude it's not just any newspaper....it's CHINESE newspaper. that's like the quilted Brawn-version of newpapers.

<---------packs all his schtuff in newspaper too. :p

the ups store packages things professionally. they wouldnt just throw in newspapers and expect to maintain their million-dollar franchise across the nation.

that is all.

well it was a box that the cluster BARELY fit into, it had to be pushed into the box even with the big tab broken off.

It had 3-4 pages of newspaper around it.. not even crumpled up :lol:

bump for possible resolution

bump for not hearing anything back

Just call paypal and tell them it was an empty box, **** em over.

1. that's dishonest.
2. UPS weighs their isht, so you wouldn't get away with that.. cuz a box doesnt weigh as much as a box + gauge cluster weighs..
3. you can only dispute a transaction ONCE through paypal. Doesnt matter what why who where. it's over.
4. ????
5. Profit

heh.. english people are so teh funn4y!!

On a serious note. Lexington, I am sure you want this resolved and I would be upset about $300 broken cluster as well. Im pretty new to the boards and I don't know the shippers reputation but at this point I wouldn't rely on him for much help (and I think it is not very responsible and respectable if it is true the way he is avoiding you) but anyways- I would try to take matters into your own hands.

I work with UPS everyday and the shipper or the receiver can file a claim. I'm not sure if you have tried to file anything yet.
Did the shipper insure the package for the $300 or whatever its value? UPS will only cover up to $100 so I hope he did.

Again, I don't know the shipper or his rep and I won't jump on bandwagons and bash him but the truth of the matter is that I highly doubt UPS would package the shipment the way you described it. Not that I am calling the shipper a liar beacuse he doesn't have anything to worry about anyways if UPS did package it RIGHT? and if it is true, that UPS packaged it, it is really ridiculous that [UPS] is saying "insufficient packaging" on a package they packed.

I didn't really read every post but through browsing I see he is buying you a new cover? I don't know what that means? Is he admitting he sent you a broken one? I know that I sure wouldn't put any of own money into something if I knew I wasn't responsible and UPS was. But thats just me. Again I am not calling anybody a liar here just trying to give my 2 cents.

I would really focus on filing the claim yourself if its not too late.

You can PM if you need any really specific help with UPS. Like I said, I ship with them all the time and have filed many claims. This could truly just be negligence from UPS. I have had boxes broken into and parts removed that I forgot to insure in a moment of rushing to get them shipped and it was really weird that those boxes (the few that wouldn't be insured) would get broken into and the value was well over $100. So who knows what really happened but lets try to give him the benefit of the doubt.
and to the shipper: If you seriously didn't send him a broken cluster I think you should step up and help Lexington get this resolved. Nobody is going to want to do business with you on these boards anymore if they are reading something like this.

But anyways, good luck to you both and I hope you figure it out.

P.S. I really hope you don't do something dumb like calling UPS and saying empty box or something. Just do things the right, respectable way and you will get what you deserve. :)

All mom and dad do is let me have some garage space.. sometimes :rolleyes: :lol:

They're letting you sleep in the garage now? :lol:

Eddy, is cc-b.com up again? If so, I want to order something from you. Or the site is gone for good?

Lets keep this thread on topic, pls.. I'd like my money or the item :)

It sure was nice being in contact (somewhat) for those few hours Mr. Andrew Yim.

Oh o, a peice of information is shared, what wonderful things can be done with that.

Lexington,

I know this is a bit late and not especially necessary but I just purchased rims and tires from wrxpooh and met him in person at his house in drescher, PA. Not only was he a nice guy but he offered me some extra parts he had installed on his car for free.

It is quite possible UPS (or whatever shipping company was used) damaged the item; it happens every day. I would be pissed if I paid $300 for a broken part too, but wrxpooh is not the kind of guy who is out to screw anybody. Good luck to both of you guys in settling this.

I'm not saying he is a bad person, I'm just saying that I am extremely irritated that he is not in contact for weeks at a time and has the broken item AND my $300. He just does not care that he is holding my money - very irresponsible.

If he's not going to go to follow up on UPS to fix it, and he's not going to refund my money.. I'd at least like the broken item back so I can just fix it myself.

What gets me here is... if pooh had UPS pack it.. why would they use newspaper? I worked for UPS in college.. and I had to pack a lot of things. We were NEVER allowed to pack things with newspaper because newspaper doesn't provide any protection. We used bubble wrap for everything because 1) it protects things better 2) we charge 35 cents per sheet.. so we get a huge return for each sucker. If you really had UPS package it... go to some other UPS in another city.. or else you'll find a lot more broken packages.. but I find it hard to believe that a UPS uses newspaper... I thought it was our company policy to not package things with newspaper.. or I could be wrong.

If it was the UPS store that switch from Mail Box Etc., they don't know how to pack (the one next to my place didn't).

Either way.. I need to hear something soon. It is NOT difficult to freaking PM someone once a WEEK.

Especially when he checks nasioc EVERY DAY :rolleyes:

another no response bump

If it was the UPS store that switch from Mail Box Etc., they don't know how to pack (the one next to my place didn't).

btw... UPS doesn't weigh always weigh their stuff.. I just bought a UPS from newegg.. and when I checked UPS it said it was a 22 lb package.. turned out to be 95 lbs.. hahaha... I almost threw my back out because I tried to pick it up really quickly.

I can't believe how inconsiderate some people are.. all I'm looking for is freaking cooperation and communication, not a triple backflip with a twist..



.. that would be sweet thou :lol:

another no response..

If you didn't know, Andy, I can tell when you were online last. I know you check nasioc every day, and I'm getting sick of this no response crap. All I'm looking for is a "yes I'm doing it", or "It will be done". Anything. You have terrible business communications skills.

Again with the no response. Phone calls start when I'm back from bloomington on wednesday.

kick him in the face!!!

Free bump!

I am still not believing this. I sent this guy 1100$ usd for his wheels and he sold them to somebody else. So, I told him to send me my money back. I have paid him with money order. So, I asked him to send me back my money order. He sent me back a f****ing empty enveloppe and it was really well closed and glued, so don't tell me it was in it.

I have all the proof by PM's.

Someone have any idea what I can do ? 1100 usd is a month of work for me and this means that I will not have summer wheels because I have a house to pay and I live alone, so no one to help me. I had to sold my STI V7 wheels to buy his wheels so now, the money is gone.

Any help will be REALLY appreciated.

What kind of world are we living in...........

Drive to his house, file a claim with local authorities in his area. Contact a lawyer.

Thanks for your support man, I appreciate.

Kinda strange he has 6 + feedbacks as a seller....

He probably got some money in his hand and decided to say screw it, im leaving nasioc, dont care for the feedback, and baught himself a new turbo.

Goes to show that you cant trust the feedback system. $1100 is definitely worth a 10 hour trip to hand out a beatdown.

I probably just won the biggest scam of the year. What do I win ? 1100 usd ?

I called the Upper Dublin Township police department this morning. Lexington, you should do the same. After a few complaint about the same guy, they said they can visit him. :furious:

Does anybody know where this moron lives? Yanos, sorry to hear what happened. I feel for you bud. When my P7's never arrived after a month or so I thought I had been had. As it turns out it was just border issues... but I do know the feeling. My purchase was US$1050, which was like a million dollars cdn at the time.

EDIT: Sorry, resume topic.

Damn, good luck man. I feel for you. I am a still-recovering "scamee". Not from this guy, though. I got hosed $500 for an AccessPort... been 4 months :( I hope you get this guy, as it seems he has done this before and will probably do it again.

Well, i sent WRXpooh a hateful mail.

He sent a reply. And also warned me to an admin. the nerve of this guy!

I really wish i could get my hands on him.

Foo_Blyat,

You have nothing at risk here and nothing at stake.

No offense, but you sending him a threat did nothing but cause me extra work here.

Watching this thread to see what develops.

If you are not one of the people in this thread that have issues with this seller, please don't attempt to threaten the seller, especially using racial slurs, as I really take issue with that stupid crap.

Noted^

Foo, I appreciate your ferver, but pls hold your tounge for the time being :). I know its bs that hes scamming me, and some other guy, and some other other guy, but his hometown police gave me a call, as I gave my number to one of his other "victims" who already filed numerous complaints against him.

If this situation doesn't get fixed... and I mean quick... I sense that a hate email will be the last of his worries...

Besides.. if he DOES end up getting away with my $300.00, so be it. I'm not gonna send him hatemail, or show up at his house, or anything like that. I'm just going to make sure he's prosecuted by our pockmarked, loophole filled justice system ;)

Yea, i didnt send it for anyone but myself. Like i said, scammers really get under my skin.

Just to give you an update, I am having discussion with him. So, he did not run away, as of now.

I keep my fingers crossed and pray every night before going to bed.

No news since yesterday morning. I am anxious now.

good luck... :(

still farting around.. no money, no tracking number.. blah blah blah..

Update on my side.

He gave me a new tracking number for a new money order. He sends me PM when he has update but do not read my PM's.

Also, he said that USPS lost the last MO. I still don't have a proof that he bought the first MO. He says he will be refunded in 14 days so he offered me to send me 500usd and the remainer in 14 days. So I guess that the MO he just sent me is for 500usd.

I should receive it this week. Should I continue the process with the police ? A lot of things can happen in 14 days. I still cannot accept to lose 600usd.

Your thoughts please ???

dont cash the 500$ money order

wait for the entire amount, otherwise he can claim you worked out a deal to send half back for some reason

He is setting you up to take a fall.....................do not negotiate anything less than what is owed. Once you agree to his terms of separate payments, he will stiff you
on the other half. If you try and prosecute him or persure this, he will simply show
his local authorities his version of your pm's or email's agreeing to a lesser amount.
Once the Canadian authorities realize you are from another country, they will not pursue this matter based on lack of evidence because it will become a he said/ I said
matter. And you accepting any payment will be percieved as a form of agreement.
This guy is good at what he does................scaming people.
Who's to say the first money order sent is even legit. You signing for a bogus ups
item will still show the authorities that you signed for a lesser payment amount.
Screw this guy and follow through will the authorities in his area.

If you do recieve the money order (for the lesser amount than owed)...take it to the post office and have them "return to sender" and before it goes, make a copy so you have proof it went back. It might even be a good idea to have s notary witness that you're returning it so you have some legal recourse if he claims you sent back and empty envelope....this guy is good...he's pulling every scam to get out of paying you the full amount owed.

Just a bump from me. I'm no legal expert but this is just plain bs, and I just want you guys to know that this guy is a poor excuse for the asian race. Don't judge us by our weakest link. ;P Good luck with everything from this punk.

Man Yanos, I really hope this works out for you. IMO tho, I wouldn't screw around with him anymore... get the police involved in whatever way you can.

:furious:

STILL no solution... you'd think that in two months SOMETHING would happen out of sheer boredom.

Wow, after reading this thread, I really feel lucky that WRXPOOH delivered on my transaction! (CF rear spoiler).

My feedback was real...the spoiler was well packed and came within a reasonable time. My ONLY complaint was the the slight damage and obvious use the spoiler had that was not fully disclosed in the for sale listing. I think it read "on the car for a month"...it looked like hard use for 12 months, but, the price was reasonable, and CAVEAT EMPTOR.

As an outside of the area noob buyer (I like to see before I buy) I stumbled on the scammer thread and found WRXPOOH on the list after I paid for the wing, I was so relieved to receive it even with the damage, I thought the alert must be a mistake. LESSON - before buying, everyone should look at the scam alerts!!!

I hope he steps up and does the right thing.

-HSR

so I still dont have anything..

I got the first MO today. 550usd. I am ONLY 550usd short now.

I will continue the process with my local police dept. until it is fully resolved. This is the way I need to do it. My local police dept. will contact his local police dept. and we'll see. Again, I have so many messages to prove the scam, I am confident.

As soon as I have all my money, I'll let you guys know. I cross my fingers.

Best of luck to you Lexington, I wish you the best.

Yann

I'm waiting for mine still...

I have a feeling that all of us caught him at once and started making calls.

wether or not he is trying to be a terrible seller... he is, in fact, a terrible seller. Needs to get his @$%^ in order before messing up everybody else's... we have lives :furious:

Don't cash that money order YANOS! wait until you have full refund. That's a good news by the way, maybe WRXpooh, doesn't look at his PM's but surely read this topic...

Why is it so much of a problem if I cash this MO ? I have messages that says that he still owe me 550usd.

Why not just hang onto the money order? It doesn't expire so just cash them both when you get all of your money. I know not having the money probably puts you out a little but I tend to agree with everyone else, only cash it when you have ALL of your money.

dont cash it until you recieve full payment. He can claim you worked out a deal and accepted 550usd as full payment.

He has not contacted me about my gauge cluster for about a week again.. maybe he took ANOTHER vacation??

Lots of vacations... hmmm, wonder where he gets all the money for that? :rolleyes:

still nothing... not even excuses.

Guess I'll make phone calls tomorrow

All this over $300... sad :rolleyes:

yep, do some phone calls buddy. I did. It might take a long time but it is better than letting him go away with our money.

I will stop the process with my local police only when I have all the money in my hand.

Ted, sorry to hear about your losses, hope this all gets resolved..but I know it wont.

Thank god it wasnt more then that, but this guy is definatly good at what he does... he doesnt even change his nasioc username... he's on the scammer list and he still gets people left and right. I seriously think the authorities need to do somehting about this guy

this is really sad though... over just 300... Id say just let it go,

you live, you learn. and it was a $300 lesson.

ass kicking time.

It really is unfortunate for him that I'm a man of principal, not amounts :)

Very good, don't let go. I will not for sure.

Still nothing... no word since the last time he told me "I'll fix it"

again with teh nothing..

I REALLY dont want to call Jennifer on this one Andrew... you need to take care of it.

GET IT DONE ITS BEEN 2 MONTHS

:furious:

really didn't want to start making phone calls.. but I have a week off of work.. so I'm gonna sit around, play Project Gotham Racing 3 on xbox 360, drink lemonade, and call Andrew Yim, of Dresher, PA. all. day. long.

If I don't get my $300 back... he'll end up paying more in long distance charges from all the messages i'll leave :)

Did his local police dept actually do anything?

yep, do some phone calls buddy. I did. It might take a long time but it is better than letting him go away with our money.

I will stop the process with my local police only when I have all the money in my hand.

His local police have to wait until my local police contact them.

Right now, I filled a form for online fraud and I also went at my local police department to fill another form for fraud. The policemen told me it should take about two weeks for them to contact me. They will put someone on this case and this person will visit me to see all the documents and messages I have to prove he is guilty of fraud.

Then, they will contact his police dept. and they will visit him. It can take some time but he will pay or suffer for what he did.

Did u order from the states?
I ordered an exhaust from Houston, so hopefully I can do what you did...
stupid scammers....

Yes, I ordered from USA.

haven't heard from him in about 2 weeks... this is ridiculous

I also have no news. Have you called him ? Have you tried your or his local police dept. ?

The name of his police dept. is Dublin upper township, somethin' like that.

I am also tryin to call but no answer.

I can't believe he is willing to face the authority for about 800usd. I don't know, sell your car, mother, sister, girlfriend, somethin' damn it !

this is hilarious, hope yall work everything out...

Probably not too funny to Yanos or Lexington.

wrxpooh, when I met you I thought you were a sincere and honest college student like myself. I am lucky I came and picked up the wedssports from you directly and avoided being scammed. Put yourself in other people's shoes; we are all subie enthusiasts that share a similar interest. No one likes to be scammed - it is your responsibility to make things right with these guys. If you really did take Yanos' payment for the wheels that you sold me, it should be sent back no questions asked. I don't expect a response from wrxpooh, but I can try to help anyone who has been scammed. Good luck with this mess.

Ben

Thanks Ben,

I think the same way you do. I never thought I would be scammed because I thought that we were a bunch of guys trying to buy and sell stuff and save some money. I guess I was wrong.

He still owes me 550usd. I could buy my AutoX tires with that. :mad:

Thanks to WRXPOOH, my car may not see the track this summer.

I forgot to write something.

I don't know Andrew if you are still reading this, but if you are, believe me that I am not joking with the authority thing, I am really in the process of having you arrested. It can take months, but it will happen, believe me.

He either doesn't mind getting arrested, or really doesnt think we contacted the police.

I told him I'd call him once a day for a week.

Once a day I get hung up on...

Some people just can't grasp the fact that they got caught red-handed

any progress here guys?

any progress here guys?


Lets hope so.

nope.. but I have a good mind to start calling at about 2-3AM if they dont stop hanging up on me..

I am trying to be as civil as possible to resolve this issue.. even though it is diffucult to be when someone steals $300 from you then tries to ignore you..

I guess civility just won't work. Time to get rude.

I know this kid is from Philly.

he's from Dresher, PA

Fraud,... gee!

I especially enjoy the fact that he committed fraud selling to a foreign party.

I just love when international law gets involved. They don't dick around.

Just to let you all know, the UPS stores are not affiliated at all with UPS other than by name and that they're owned by UPS. They're run completely independently. I used to work for UPS (with the boxes, moving them), and after seeing what the conveyor belts can do to packages, I've learned a lot of things about keeping stuff safe.

Never pack things tightly into a box. Use lots of padding, and make sure the box is strong. Of course, this is all common sense.


Free bump. Hope this works out for you guys. It hasn't seemed to have gotten enough exposure, but it seems wrxpooh is also the known past scammer ayim01?

They're letting you sleep in the garage now? :lol:
Have a good time flaming me and please explain how a young 18-25 yo could possibly afford a wrx or any new car without parental indulgence?
Thanks,Ed Flanagan ;)

so ur sayin that some one between 18-25 cant buy a wrx without mommy or daddy paying for it? Im 25 now and this is the second car i bought on my own so grow up, some ppl just mature faster than u do.

Yes, he is.

No news about the 550usd he still owes me. He is a real scammer. I am pissed off now.

Lexington, have you talked to someone at his house ?

The policer officer asked me to get the name and phone number of the people he scammed.

Can you guys PM me your name and phone number ? I'll transfer the info to the officer.

Nope - I get hung up on.

I sent you a PM, tell the officer he can call me anytime

The funniest part about all of this -

I've told him he can just send the broken cluster back to me and I'll drop it.
He refuses, because he's an idiot.

Now, because he won't send it back.. he's basically taken $300 from me, and I have nothin to show for it. I.E. theft

Andrew, you need to learn that digging does not get you out of a hole

Just out of curosity.. why doesnt wrxpooh have any negative feedback? seems a bit strange to me.

the nasioc feedback thing just started.. and many ppl dont know how to use it.

I haven't given him any feedback.

i didnt know that this was a thread about mispelled words. yor stoopid

Not on anyones side here as I dont know either of the involved. But, I had a large scale remote controlled boat ( 58 inchs long ) weed eater motor powered shipped to florida (to me ) from my wife she had UPS pack it and ship it (because she knew it was one of my favorites ) I had every required recipt for the packaging charges along with the shipping recipt showing that it never left the store after it was packed . when I recieved it in daytona it looked as if someone had jumped up and down on the box trying to destroy what was inside.knowing what was inside I told the delivery guy it was totaled and we opened it togather (in front of whitness's) and indeed it was ruined I submited a claim for the replacment of the boat 2200.00 and provided all recipts of what it cost to build minus labor (it was even insured for the cost of the boat )thru UPS I was told it was inferior packaging and they would not cover it !!! I had to get a lawyer and spend my own $$$ to get a judgment and it took just under a year to get my $$$ back UPS sucks period !!! the only way to ship anything of value is to send it fedex insured next day. they see that orange sticker and treat it as if it were there sisters cherry

Good to know. FedEX all the way.

Sorry to hear about your boat.

BUMP! lets get this resolved guys!

still nothing... ridiculous...

still nothing... ridiculous...
What a jerk...

Also nothing on my side. I can't even call him, he banned my phone number. What a dick.

And the officers are not too quick. :mad:

Not from my experience with them UPS sucks :lol:

wrxpooh, POOH ON YOU.

O and in my expierence FedEx is teh hawtness ;)

Wow... I hope you guys get some satisfaction out of this a**clown.

What comes around goes around (we hope).

It's you're, not your. Want to pm HighSpeedRacerX and ask him about the damage that he was already notified about? Ok, you might want to go ahead and do that. Also, PLEASE, have Ted call the authorities. It would be one less thing that I'd have to do.

I'm not getting in on who is right and who is wrong on this sale, but I think it is funny that pooh bitched about your grammar when he made a mistake just a few posts before. I saw BOTH errors and then laughed when I saw him complain about "perfect grammar. Yes, he did use your instead of you're, but you said, "i told you already i'm not giving you 300 dollars and me end up with a broken bezel that i cannot resale without putting money into fixing it. you can have your broken cluster back." It is I instead of me when you say "me end up" (this is a subjective pronoun and not an objective pronoun) and it is resell, not resale (you will not be "saling" the item to someone, you will be "selling" it to them)... Don't start grammar wars if you can't write properly. ;)

Oh man... he STILL won't take a phone call talk online or answer emails/PMs.

It's been 5 months.. over a measly $300 bucks. I'm glad I believe in kharma.

It could be a coincidence, but I purchased a wrx part from the user name "obeyyourfast" on ebay who is listed as being from Dresher, PA. After 3 emails from me and 9 days later , no part or shipping info. On day 10 I did recieve a full refund, but with no explanation of a problem, just thought I'd let you guys know.

Interesting... Do you have the complete street address ? To compare, I have WRXPOOH's street address.

Yep, that's him. See here: http://contact.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ReturnUserIdHistory&requested=obeyyourfast

All I can say is wow, what a...

All I can say is wow, what a... sucker

Close, but not exactly what I had in mind.

next time use USPS, then it is mail fraud; a federal offense.

Well, I sent money orders via canadian post. I guess USPS take care of the canadian post shipments when they cross the border.

hey ted he has been reported to ebay,and is being checked out.has anyone checked into the stuff he has sold on ebay??????????? might be a good idea if not.

he has been reported to the proper authorities.

several times

by several different people.

he'll get what's coming to him.

Im disapointed in you guys... i would have expected some vigilanty justice out of you guys...

This is a Federal Fraud...

Im disapointed in you guys... i would have expected some vigilanty justice out of you guys...

It would cost me more that what he scammed out of me to buy a blunt object and drive out there than to just let the authorities handle it.

Any info on this yet?

I looked at that ebay account and it's now "invalid".

How hard is it for the PoPo just to drive over there and knock on his door? Sounds like you need to get a PA lawyer to buddy up to the local states attorney there and get some pressure on this punk. A little letter from a lawyer can go a looooong way.

this is a picture of him:

great, we can now put a face on the name. I will re-contact the police dept. here this week to see where they are with that.

Sooo many disputes because of carriers (FedEx, UPS, USPS, CP) throwing, breaking, stealing, loosing, not paying insurances/claims on packages.....they all fooking sucks. :furious: laughing at us!! :mad:

UPS Sucks most of the time. You'd better becareful and dispute the insurance claim again and see what happens.

I'm not trying to be an ass, but tt is not WRXPooh's fault you didn't follow the claim procedure and you should always take pictures of the box and packaging when your receive a broken item or something you are not suppose it receive. You are also suppose to let the seller or shipper for that matter handle all of the claim.

I like how you assume I didn't take pictures and/or file a claim and/or call the dresher, PA police dept.

long story short, nobody cares about 300$.. and I did the math - gas alone would not be worth the $300... although I am going to the east coast shootout.. maybe I can stop by and see how he is??

I'm not trying to take any sides or call anyone a lier, just putting my thoughts in here since I have been in a situation like this.

I did not assume that you didn't take any pictures or file a claim, only that UPS is picky about claim procedure. The claim should have be filed by the sender and follow up by ups inspecting the product or asking the receiver for pictures of the packaging+product and then UPS will pick the package up in reference to the claim. The receiver should never have to send it anywhere.

If UPS claims insufficient packaging then the sender can still file another dispute as long as reasonable dispute ie "packaging was done by ups staff" or some other blah blah.

GL with your situation. I have been at the sending end of a situation like this and the only way is to keep calling and faxing ups till someone with enough status can reburst the insured amount. If I were Pooh I would have remained in good faith and kept hassling ups for the insured amount while having you keep the product till he can give you your money back from insurance (last time it took me 3 months to get my money back to pay the buyer), but since you took it this far to call him a scammer and threaten him I don't think he would do anything now.

TTT

I am still trying to have him arrested.

Im disapointed in you guys... i would have expected some vigilanty justice out of you guys...


I second that... anyone want to make a trip to Dresher PA??? I think someone mentioned a Suby meet in his front yard...:devil:

That would be great but I am about 14hrs drive away. If you guys wanna go, no problem and I'll pay you a big dinner at Hooters !! (we do not have Hooters up here:( )

haha, look at that dude....he has a girl with him?? She must be a mail order bride or something

pooh on you scammer, i hope you get prison(not jail, PRISON)

oh wow...I'm only 67 miles from Dresher. *whistle's non-chalantly* :devil:

Count me in if any of you people from chicagoland want to make a road trip to the asian fat alberts house for collections.

I'll pay a keg of beer to each one of you who goes there !!

That would be great but I am about 14hrs drive away. If you guys wanna go, no problem and I'll pay you a big dinner at Hooters !! (we do not have Hooters up here:( )


Haha my girlfriend works at hooters here in co... Maybe I can get it comped for you guys haha :lol:

Hey, Yanos and Lexington so any new updates

good luck

Hey, Yanos and Lexington so any new updates

None from my side. I dropped it. He'll do the wrong thing to the wrong guy and get his fat asian head stomped in sooner or later.. I'm not gonna worry about it.

This is some serious bs. My heart goes out to Lexington, Yanos, and anyone else got scammed. Did the cops do anything? Do you guys know his address and everything?

I have all his info, address, phone...

Looks like the police up here is not in a hurry to help me. If I ever go down in his area, you can be sure that I will drop by his house.:furious:

there's alot of shady ppl in tristate. some are good-others not so good. sorry for all the ppl that got scammed. why would anyone scam a fellow subaru members here.... just very sad!!!!!!!!

Wow, I just read the whole thing. To this date nothing is resolved? This is bull*****!!

nope...not yet

yeah... not yet... We are kinda working on something though...

i live near there im willing to help

Really ?? That would be great !!

I still have nothing to show for it.

Yanos, wanna see if he will cough up either the cluster he owes me or the $350??

I think i might know a couple buddies in penn that could ease the pressure and help him make the right decision oh and i think my friends dad is still a captain of police up there

Let me know when you are ready guys, I'll give you the address and phone number.

He owes us 350$ + 550$ !!:mad:

as much as i hate to say it, because i despise scammers and thieves, you will probably never get resolution to this situation.

does anybody have poopoo's address? where does he live? this fat slob is gonna get hurt. haha!

I have all his information.. address.. liscence number.. his mom's name (he was living at home).. even his myspace :lol:

If anybody really wants me to dig it out, I will.. just PM me.\

I'd personally rather someone go beat the police for being dumbasses..

does this guy live in california?

Back then, he was living in Dresher, PA.

Wow...what a stand up guy. I just read the whole thing. There's an Andrew Kim that goes to the University of Pennsylvania...maybe it's a coincidence and maybe not. I felt like helping...best I can do from California. Hope you guys nail him to the wall.

bumping because I feel like it.:mad:

It would weigh easier on your conscience if you bough a ****ty coach-class ticket for >$100, went down there, and confronted him.

For those familiar with Kingpin in AZ, they ripped me for $900 for JDM projectors. I suited up, reserved a hotel room, had 2 close friend come, and went down there. Drove for 7 hours, went straight to the shop, had them hand me my product, and i walked away. I then treated the rest of the weekend as a vacation which was actually pretty fun. I went to hooters for the first time, and saw girls gone wild live in action next to ASU.

if this helps at all, I bought some rims off this guy way back when, I know for a fact he goes to UPenn. Maybe find a member who goes there and see what the deal is/where he lives? facebook would work wonders..
