I didn't feel the need to bring this all to the forum, but since I've been seeing more and more posts saying his banning was BS, PM's in question, and posts on other forums saying it was out of line - so be it. Take from this whatever you'd like. I don't really appreciate the site being looked at from one side. If you'd like to see how many times he contradicted himself, feel free to read all of the mess below.

short explanation:
Problem started back in the beginning of Jan. It is now 5+ weeks later without resolution.
He failed to respond to the latest PM's for 4 days yet continued to post on the boards. Nothing was provided for me on his acct to back up his claims. His acct was removed until proof of the matter was resolved/solved.

So there was never an explanation of almost 14,000.00 in missing money orders to a site vendor
Failing to explain or provide information regarding the site members money order return/refund
Failing to provide a tracking #/order for the replacement spring


from pm -

A while back, in mid December, a member named "skittleslegend" posted a message in the for sale forum listing Tein S Techs for $140. I bought them. I sent out a money order for $140 US, and he shipped them. I did receive them, but only received 3 to my surprise.

I contacted him, politely, (and I kept all email conversations from him and I and PM's from 8thcivic) stating I only received three.

He said, early Jan that he would buy me a pair of springs if nothing showed up. Then he said he would send the money back and I quote "I sent the money back to you [yesterday]". He also said he constantly communicates to the post office on BOTH sides of the border. I think this is a lie as well because he won't tell me who he is talking to (for peace of mind I asked to contact them to talk to me).

I contacted my post office and they said he cashed the money order.

Another email states that he got off the phone with customs and they show a delivery for "tomorrow" (which was dated the 18th of Jan.)

Another email quotes that I was supposed to recieve a call from customs.
Nothing.

I don't know what to do from here. I thought I wouldn't contact him anymore because he is ignoring my emails and PMs.

He then counteracted and said " I've never cashed the money order in, it must be mail fraud "

I'm sorry, but don't you need ID to cash in a money order? No one can just pretend to be "Montee' Stowes".

I'm about to go to the postal office myself and apparently I can find out who exactly cashed this money order in. He is now saying to send the coils back to him (3 of them) so he do a claim. I don't think so; I think that way he gets both my money and the springs back (and can do an insurance claim as well - his plan)

another problem related to a money order

I've been trying not to remember I just blew through $7900.

Thanks a lot for reminding me. /sarcasm

lol

Now I have a new situation to deal with. My luck huh? *sigh*

Email quote from him @ 1pm:

GFP is Garage Five Performance in Vancouver, BC; a place who sells Tein S.Techs where I suggested to get them from (as he promised he would buy a set if this all blew up). I called down there, no record of anything.

Just one more notch to add here.

Waiting for his reply.

Chuck is a friend of mine. I phoned him this morning. There is no record whatsoever on a purchase for tein s techs ANYWHERE.

From his PM it states that you made a purchase with chuck at showstoppers. Member has called them and said he actually knows chuck who claims there was no order and no information regarding his teins. He's basically had it now, and claimed he wanted to report this to me before he contacted the proper authorities.

What troubles me is this isn't the first time I've read about problems.
Obviously your own writing -
http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/showp...0&postcount=21
yet he claims the customs thing has not been solved.

3rdly - the whole turbo/alljap money order issue. According to XXXX at alljap they have nothing on you at all. They've been in contact with me through PM and I've talked with them over the phone about the money order issue as well. Even after the last PM you sent me they claim they have nothing on their end for payment, schedule, nothing.
AJP SI Turbo Kit Now avail.

Feel free to respond with anything you'd like. Obviously I'd just like to hear from Member that things are fine on his end and that he isn't just misunderstanding. As far as alljap - I'd suggest you contact them about your kit and the status of your payment. XXXX said he'd be in contact with me.

As far as Member goes, I'm done helping him. He can make as many posts or threads and PM whoever he wants to about me. He has been extremely disrespectful in regards to the whole ordeal, and like I told him in my last email, my last email to him was my last email to him. He knows who to contact to get in touch with me if he has any other idle threats to make. My lawyer is expecting his phone call.
