Angry Does anyone know dnasty8305 in person?

I recently purchased a set of 4Matic W203 lowering springs for $600 from member dnasty8305. I paid with money order and on the tracking number it shows this guy has already cash it. However, he is not replying my PM or mails for over a week after he received the money and has not sent the item yet. Now he has changed the setting to not receiving PMs or mails at all. I told my parents about this issue and they want to file a claim with police if he's not showing up in three days. If anyone knows him in person, can you ask him to either send me the item or send my money back?

Andy

Yes, he did. He never install it and post on classfield to sell it. I took the offer and paid for it and now he's gone...

sorry to break it to you bro, but if anything, he is trying to scam you.
never pay for something with money order, cuz as soon as they cash it, there's no trace or guaranteed refund. give him a few more days, see if he can come clean, if not, good luck.

I don't think that he is trying to scam you. I sent him a MO back when we were trying to get vogtland to make us springs. I was a bit hesitant to send the money, and feared that I would never see it again. But here I am with vogtland lowering springs. That being said, the fact that he changed the setting to not receiving PMs or E-mails is kind of fishy.

You may also want to contact an admin and see if they can contact him.

He said he didn't have PayPal account. That's why we went with money order. Now it seems like I made a wrong choice...

This thread is a sad commentary on the scum we are sometimes manipulated into dealing with. The POS did post "...trust me you wont [sic] get them anywhere...”

I have been fortunate enough through this forum to come to know and personally meet with several fine gentlemen. Sorry to hear how it all went so wrong for you.

He has two sets. One is rear spring plus the OEM front with cut, the other one is from Vogtland and is still brand new. I took the offer of the brand new one, and you know the rest...

It's true that you don't get it anywhere else. I tried to contact Vogtland and they said they don't have anymore in stock and they won't make more either.

He stopped the activity since Nov. 9th after he received the money. I sent him two PMs and one mail and no replies. On Nov. 15 he came online again to change the setting to not receiving PMs or mails anymore...

Yeah they would probably only disclose info if a cop is involved.

How long has it been since you payed him.

sorry to hear this, you can trace the money order to see what bank/checking account it was deposited into, unless he just got cash, can't you?
also you got his address and phone number right? you can get him for mail fraud since you mailed him a money order and did not receive the goods.

Yes I have his information and still trying to reach him. What should I do to report a mail fraud? What do I need to tell the police? Thanks.
