eh... maybe they will.. maybe they wont.. they are least giving him the warm fuzzies and saying they will.... sounds like western union is also doing something as well(or at least the warm fuzzies again)

At least he's tryin to go thru the channels availible to him.. and doing his own research.... some people just complain and or kick them selves and not try to do anything but complain...

hope ya get some sort of results other than warm fuzzies Carlb28

Its so fake its not even funny. Look at the downpipe, there is no way that would fit a tc, and turbonetics uses a unichip for their app...

Just buy from a turbonetics authorized dealer.. sorry about your luck
Did anyone notice on how many bids on that are by people with no feedback...

I bet he's boosting up his own bids

Of course.

That kit looks like a honda kit, there is no way that downpipe would fit the tC with our Spipe design..

Check his feedback, and look at the two items he has sold. Both of them are turbo kits. One for an accord, one for a civic. Plus he is selling this one for a tC. He has the same exact story of 5000 miles on his car and got rid of it. And in all of them he posts a phone number, and in all three they are different phone numbers.

If anyone knows the way of reporting this guy, you should.

I have such a desire to call the number and talk to him. See how it fits both the tC and xA. This has me aggravated and I am not even involved.

gotta be able to do some crazy cop work or somethin where they call the number and trace where the call adress is or whatever, that would be the easiest, at least from a moviegoers standpoint.

The more I look at the ebay profile the more and more its wrong. His profile says:

member of design race creationz in ft lauderdale fl
currently in the us airforce e3 military police patrol woot woot


lol, I am in the airforce and know that Security Forces dont call them selves Military Police. Only the army has Military police.

The OP really needs to contact EBAY. I know he didnt do everything through ebay but I am sure with this info they can do something.

Report this to the Florida Attorney genrals office. You will have to call over and over again but it does work. Call your local police department and file a report, the attorney genrals office will need this. Let them know that this was an on line transaction or they wont get involved. I had this happen to me when paypal didnt protect your debit card transactions. It took almost one year but I got my money back as well as the original kit that was to be shipped to me due to plea bargin he had to deliver all items that he sold and still had in his possesion. The man recived 2yrs in federal prison due to internet fraud and theft of funds with a total of 1500.00 or more

hes scamming people for all kinds of stuff... the same way. police departments are hesitant to do antyhing because miami says they dont have jurisdiction since im in cali, my dept says the order was picked up in miami so they dont have jurisdiction. FBI wont do jack because they are doing things way more important. we had a private investigator hired but western union wont release any info. kind of out of ideas.

i dont understand why police dept's wont do anyting because hes using phone fraud over 3 different states, isnt that against the law to purposely protray yourself as someone your not in order to get money from them? outside of his own state makes that a federal crime right? all they would have to do is bid on his item then call him and he would tell them to send him a money order and they could ****** him up when he goes to pick the money order up...lol..
