Previous Post deleted Need Some HELP!!! Anyone near Hayward, CA?

I think this guy off of ebay is trying to rip me off. I bought (3) 19" Chrome Lorinser LM-1's from him on the 30th of last month. I sent a check down to him and it was cashed the same day. I talked to him several times to find out the status of the shipping. I got an automated email from UPS saying the billing information was recieved, but the packages had not been picked up. That was the 2nd of this month.

Each time I talked to the guy I was told that he was really busy at work or he was having trouble finding boxes to put the wheels in. I gave him the some more time to find some suitable boxes. That was last week. I'm now getting sick of this run around. I find it hard to believe that you can't locate a damn box to put these things in. I am really hoping I'm wrong about him, but this is not looking so good as I have left messages on his phone with no response now.

Please prevent me from driving down to California and putting 34 rounds into his *** from my twin Glocks. I already have it mapped out in Mapquest.
It's a 13hr drive from Seattle.

If you want to contact me you can reach me on my cell
206-228-4329 you can call me anytime
or email gareebr@earthlink.net

I have his address and contact information. If anyone located near Hayward would look into it for me. Any help would be much appreciated. I will compensate you for your time if you can help me get these things. Thanks much


I would post the address information but I gues that is the reason the post was deleted.
Anyways I have pictures and addresses and phone numbers.
So if you think you can help me out please do.

Thanks

Not looking good man. Did you try to track the package on UPS.com with the tracking number? It will tell you when they received it, when it should arrive, and even the weight so you know what you're getting.

Another option is to contact your bank and tell them your situation and ask if they can put a stop payment on that check (might be too late) and also get the phone number for his bank and talk with them. If that fails, contact the police in his area. And if that fails, well, load up the glocks.

with airfare being so cheap, you can easily fly down there and take care of business... maybe you can leave the glocks at home... or at least, leave them in the car?

good luck.

I'd help you out gareeb but that place is 400 miles away from me, . I'm sure one of our CLK members here live in that area and could help out. Good luck with it and let us know how it turns out.
