Default 08superwhite = SCAMMER!

bought a turbonetics turbo from him on the 16th. said he was on vacation and he was going to send it when he gets back on the 24th so i said "okay ill wait". on the 25th i PMed him and no respond. he logged on the 26th, 28th, and 30th so i know for a fact that hes been on here. i paid him $275 and now i had to open up a claim through paypal to get my money back..

to sum it all up.. BEWARE OF THIS SELLER

by now he could have withdrew the money and/or rebuilt the whole turbo. so i guess all i can do now is wait for paypal to make the final judgement

After careful review, we have concluded our investigation of the Buyer
Complaint described below.

We have decided in your favor, however, we were unable to recover any funds
from the seller's account. As stated in the PayPal User Agreement, recovery
of funds associated with a Buyer Complaint cannot be guaranteed.

Please know that we will make our best effort to recover the funds in
question if they become available in the seller's account in the future and
will take appropriate action against the seller. Such action may include
issuing a warning, a temporary restriction, or terminating the account.
Keep in mind that PayPal uses a number of factors to determine when to take
action, including member complaints. Due to privacy laws, we cannot discuss
the details of any action taken. We hope you understand our policy and that
it assures you that you are safe using PayPal.

F*** PAYPAL , if you use visa or check card w/visa logo, call your visa card company open a claim and tell them you have open a claim thru paypal but they aren't doing sh*t to refound your money, they will refound your money like in 2 days wile they investigate paypal and the damn PUTO too.

I did the same like 6 months ago, paypal didn't do sh*t for me but my bank did refound my $600.00

this is him this is me, Die damn PUTO lol!
