Angry Deeman/Candy man or whatever this thief is going by now.

I am posting this warning so no one else gets ripped off by this thief.

Read my blog - www.austrianautoparts(dot)blogspot(dot)com

I have posted on 2 other benz forums, and surprise! it turns out I am not the only one taken by this thief.

Name: - Davey Pittman
Address: - 4741 Apache Trail Atlanta GA 30331
PH: - 1-800-997-6607
- 404-629-6607
- 404-629-1937
- 404-423-4879

Web site. - www.austrianautoparts.com
Company name - D&J Enterprises
email: - bob82@bellsouth.net
- austrianautoparts@yahoo.com
- aap72@bellsouth.net

And all the other anonymous e-mail addresses he uses.

How many anonymous e-mail address does a honest seller need?????????

Due diligence is imperative in matters such as yours.

Have we seen you around here before?

Thief

Yes I hang out on occassion, and 2 other benz forums.

This is a great forum for info. but I don't usually say a lot, I like to stop by and read through the forums when I have an issue with my car. I find the site very helpful. But I will not stand by when I get ripped off, and I don't want others to get burned.

As I have found out in the other 2 benz forums I am not the only one to be taken by this person.

I might suggest posting this to Off Topic appealing to Atlanta-based members to have a look at his location, since you do have an address.

Yep - that particular area of Atlanta is definitely on the 'wrong side of the tracks'. I wouldn't drive my car in this neighborhood unless I had some serious firepower.

If you click on the satellite version you'll see a driveway that leads to nowhere. Kinda like his business transactions.

try this number (404) 344-9797 register to a Ms. Forbes at the same location. Perhaps this is occuring without her knowledge being that the scammer's last name is different from her's.

Worth a shot.

Is the (404) 629-1937 number valid? That's the number registered to the "business".

Don't trust Pyrate or believe what he is saying

Pyrate, you are the guy that refused to send me my parts back to me and paying for your shipping and you have the audacity to call me a thief. Guys don't believe this crook. He was asked several times to send my transmission back that did not work according to him, shipping was on me but he refused. He also asked me to lie on the shipping form for him so that he didn't have to pay anything to customs. There have been plenty of customers who do business with me without complaints, this guy is just an a$$h@#%!!!! This idiot actually thought that I was going to send him another transmission, the second one by the way, and keep all of my parts. You really are a Canadian!!! As for the rest of you, you are so quick to jump on the bandwagon without hearing both sides. GROW UP MEN and get a life!!!!!

Small world, Davey. Where's my refund that you've been promising for months now? If my transactions with "ausman" on another forum are any indication, I'd avoid him like the plague.

He's on scads of online forums (Mercedes, BMW, Nissan, you name it) under several usernames... likes to PM or email folks who are looking for parts. He was just busted for posting YET AGAIN under a (3rd or 4th) alias at mercedesshop:

mercedesshop.com/shopforum/showthread.php?t=200237

Not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
