got ripped off on svtp, anything I can do?
 

I got ripped off on svtperformance. I made the mistake of trusting someone. I sent him my whole mac catback and was told that when he got them installed the other catback would be headed my way. He had pictures, videos, etc ... wellll... never got the catback.

I have his IP address and the address I sent the mufflers to. Is there anything I can do to track him down? I have about 40 PMs we have sent back and forth discussing the whole thing until he just stopped responding.

His IP 170.20.96.116

That sucks dude...hope you get things worked out...

i got ripped off on svtp too...

Sorry but nothing you can really do because there was no transaction made through paypal or your credit card company. Only thing you can do is just go to his house. Or paypal someone a couple bucks that lives in CA to pay him a little visit :devil2:

I live in CA. If I have a couple of days off and am bored I will go pay him a visit. What a dick.:devil2:

I'll give you or anyone $50 if I get my exhaust back.

You could file a lawsuit but it's probably not worth it honestly. Call up the LAPD. See if they can do anything...LOL they won't LAPD= FTL

call up your local police department, or ask an attorney.

+1 :dots:

pretty stupid to send someone your exhaust without any kind of deposit

Yeah, it is. Take a hit and learn your lesson dude. Now you wont get taken twice.

What you do is post your ripoff on every mustang forum that you know of. There are a lot of people who dont take that kind of stuff you you may come across a few guys who may meet up and pay the guy a visit for you. Ive seen that kind of stuff happen quite a few times.

yes, post up a thread on svtp...had a prob on there once
Lightning Larry (admin) and about 50 others on there got on his case reeeaaalll quick, problem solved

Remember like a few months back there was this post about some moron on a WRX forum that made a street racing vid and was showing off and crap and ppl on the forum hunted him down with the IP address and email and got his phone# Home address and everything and scared the living crap outa him and they contacted the police and everything. We should have a little mustang boards douch bag hunt down lol

Tay, it is mail fraud and a very serious crime! Contact the guys local police dept and go from there. They most likely have a guy who handles internet/mail fraud. Generally, a visit fromt he police is all the guy will need. Besides, this may be not his first time getting to know the cops.

I was in this position a few months ago and did this and it worked.

Thats a great idea.... in fact I just contacted a cop from the LAPD that is supposed to be in control of all online fraud actions. Left him a long voicemail hopefully he will call me back soon.

edit - I also posted my story on an all mustang los angeles board.

let us know what happens... I hate dick heads like that... lying thief
