I made a deal with Carlos on a set of green seatbelts. We exchanged many PMs. As soon as he got my money, he went silent. I mailed him a $50 money order in August. He cashed it in September. No parts. No communications. Nothing.

As corn pointed out, 72CSTC5's last communication here on 8/16 is time stamped 5 minutes after the last PM I received from him. I sent him one on the 15th stating the MO is in the mail. He responded with he'll ship when he gets the money. Liar.

I called the cops in Deer Park, Texas. Apparently mail fraud is ok down there. They don't care either.

I'm simply left wondering, how does he sleep at night? If I stole 50 hard earned dollars from somebody I'd lay in bed at night with guilt.

After getting screwed on my last three deals on the parts board here, I've given up. Occasionally I look there but I can no longer trust stuff advertised there. I'm having a harder time finding harder to find parts but some trustworthy people I met here are still out there. I'll keep my business with them.

I joined this board in February of 2000. Not long after it started. I met a lot of good people, learned a lot, and feel I've helped many folks here. However after three bad deals in a row I no longer feel I can trust others like I used to.
