Scam alert!!!!!!

Scam alert.. Do not buy anything from seanzhu90@gmail.com aka seanzhuamg. I paid him last week for some long tube headers and he hasn't shipped and quit all communication with me after payment. Found out he sold to multiple people and needless to say we are all out big $$$.

So I pretty much f'd myself because I sent it to him as a gift as a "favor" and the buyer protection doesn't cover "gifted" transactions. I have a dispute open but I'm pretty sure that it's no going to go anywhere. I did open a claim with my bank from which I transferred the money from to my PayPal account. Seems like it's going to be a real fight to reclaim my funds but I'm going to go to the bitter end with it. So learn from me if you use PayPal pay the fees and save your ***! And let me say if I stumble upon this guy I'm really going to have him bite the curb as the guy did in American history X... If you haven't seen it Google it because your missing a great thing!

I mean... with a large ticket item like that why wouldn't you pay the 3.5% fee? It's like leaving your wallet in a gym locker without a lock... the world isn't what it used to be.

Good luck with the physical retaliation, I hope you have a good attorney.
