Got ripped off by member

[azsxr]

I was dumb and sent zdj0521 money for an exhaust hose before seeing he had no history here.
Be on the look out for this POS.

 

[DJDaveOtt]

What service did you use to send the money?

 

[Coastiejoe]

Sorry this happened. @hfgreg, do we have any contact info for zdj0521v?

 

[mikidymac]

Can you give us a little more information on the listing and sale. Maybe it was a misunderstanding.

 

[azsxr]

I was looking to buy a new exhaust hose for my x4 in the classifieds
Zdj0521v pm’d me he had one
I sent him $40 through PayPal
and never got a reply.
His email is :srandone1220@gmail.com

Reverse the transaction through paypal on non-receipt

There are several "sellers" who stalk the "dark web" here on the forum. Guys that NEVER post or hardly post, just stalk the WTB's and pounce on the sales. I ran into this when I first joined and wasn't thrilled with the parts I got. They just needed more elbow grease that I thought they should have. You just gotta look at guys who visit the thread and check their post count if they send you an offering of parts. If they have low post count or none, and also especially if they've been a member for years and are active daily.......bye bye, move to someone else. Sorry, I tend to over analyze things.

But, op, go back to PayPal and have them correct it if they can.

A good reason to never send money as a “friend” on PayPal unless it’s someone you have already dealt with. You can’t file a dispute or cancel the payment as a “friend “.

 

[hfgreg]

He is a new member. did he reach out to you?

 

[SabrToothSqrl]

dispute w/your credit card company!

While unfortunate, my perspective is that this is just the cost of doing business over the internet. Every now and again you get taken. The worst issues I have had is people I help on forums. I've sent parts, paid for shipping and never got a dime. LOL This has happened more than once and thank the good Lord I can afford it. It separates the sheep from the goats and makes me treasure good honest people all the more. Good luck with your situation.

No dice if you went thru PayPal. All the CC will tell you is take it up with PayPal. Been there, done that.

 

[azsxr]

Yeah it was sent as a friend
I don’t have pay pay
My buddy sends money for me when I have no choice but use them.
Yes he reached out to me.
Lesson learn

That sucks. I probably have a few exhaust hoses around if you still need one. You looking for OEM or silicone?

 

[azsxr]

Will one?Thanks I’m looking for one that is is going to work the one I have now is
collapsed. Can you tell me about the silicone? Is it formed?
