Before anybody starts making guesses, this is NOT about anybody here on BBS.
Back in September, DBF was looking for a part for his Honda dune-buggy thing. Found someone online that had it. We made all the arrangements for payment, shipment, etc. Well, we paid, and never got anything but over two months worth of BS emails with conflicting stories of what was shipped when, etc. By an amazing coincidence, he was never home when we called.
Supposedly, two different shipments got lost, AND two checks that were supposedly mailed as a refund. No proof was ever provided that ANYTHING was sent to us. I finally got fed up and told him I was pursuing a fraud report. He stopped responding to emails and phone messages. I was referred to the ND Attorney General's office, and had a hard time getting the forms from them to do the report. And, I was laid up for a while with medical problems and surgery.
So now I finally have the forms, I get the fraud report all put together and I email this guy to tell him what's happening. As in, "Don't think we've forgotten about this...we want our merchandise or our money. The paperwork's getting mailed on Monday." And, I made a report on www.ripoffreport.com and let him know about that, too.
Today, I get a nasty email from this clown, claiming that he sent us a check and we cashed it!! He's threatening to go to his attorney and take legal action against us for filing a "false claim" with the Attorney General and trying to commit fraud by getting a second refund! I told him I wasn't the least bit intimidated by his threat, because WE NEVER RECEIVED A CHECK. So he can go ahead and pitch whatever fit he wants. I gave him my fax number, and told him to send a copy of this check we supposedly cashed. I also told him I'm more than willing to provide him with verified samples of our signatures for comparison. That took the wind out of his sails real quick! But he's still saying he's going to mail another check, then sue us for fraud when we cash it. Yeah right, punk...take your best shot!
What NERVE!!! First he rips us off, then starts making threats when I tell him I'm going to report him for it??? Who does this guy think he is??? He doesn't know it, but I've kept copies of all his emails...he's so full of it. {stalks around the room, steaming!}
