***dont buy anything from scotthomes***

tried to buy a door panel from him since the beginning of august.

given him every oppurtunity to prove he isn't a scammer. alas, he has failed and has succeeded in stealing $115 from me.

name is mike, email is strictly4u@hotmail.com

again, don't do any business with him.

Sorry to hear that Jeremy.

Surprized to hear he's back again....
It was a while ago, but I know others have had problems B4.

He tried to sell me a mid pipe last Feb.
I didn't deal mainly because he wanted too much for it.

Thanks for the alert, maybe save someone else from the same trouble

Sorry to hear that Jeremy........

In an effort to rectify this for you, I've sent him both an email and a pm to ask why the delay in concluding your deal.
When I hear something back, I'll holler.

In the meantime, if you hear something, would you post back here and pm me too...

G/L
Colin.

Update:

Jeremy, I've checked him out here and he was last active earlier this month-- For now I've moved his ad out of Marketplace and will wait for his reply before the 'next step'.

If you, or anyone, gets any more info, please forward to us.
G/L

I bought a midpipe from him back in the spring. I didn't have any problems but then again, I picked it up from his house. He seemed like a nice guy. Maybe he's just slow getting his messages. Good luck.

I was going to get something from him on Ebay a long time ago, so watch out for that as well.

That must have been the one I turned down, hope he dropped the $$.
Can't remember if it was $125 or $150 he wanted

Chico,
So he's local then........yikes, he's one of us.

Let's hope it's a communication issue only. It wouldn't be the first time.
I'd hate to see it be anything else, but these days, anything is possible........

typical story really.

he had a part for sale i wanted, i paypal'd him the money, he said he would send it out (this was august 8!)

nothing happened, i emailed him several times over the past couple of months asking what was going on. he said "oops, i forgot, i'll send it out asap" each time.

3 weeks ago i said i was going to post about it if he didn't make good, and he said he would send it. a week later he emailed and said it was on its way, throuh purolater and should be here in 5-7 days. that was oct. 6 (22 days ago!).

emailed him and asked for a tracking number or anything to confirm shipment, and have had no response since then.

colin, thanks for sticky-ing it, hopefully others will be smarter. i too saw the previous post about him sending damaged goods and being very slow, but figured as a canadian he couldn't be all bad my loss is only $100, but it could be more for others, so i'm glad to get the word out.

i'll let you guys know first if i have any contact with him.

jeremy
