Anyone know about speed driven Mercedes? I think I may have been taken advantage of..

So over three weeks ago I zelled the owner money for motor mounts for my w221 and still have no mounts. He wrote me once or twice stating they were built and he had forgotten to send them out but assured me he would. Now its been over a week since that email and I have written him 2-3 times more without a response. I also had a friend write him on facebook. No answer there either. Starting to worry I have been scammed. Anyone know them personally?

Yep, pretty much determined I have been scammed by speed driven. Completely unacceptable. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM

Yeah, well he finally wrote me stating his dad has been unwell which is unfortunate but at the same time, I need my mounts. So , we will see if they come.

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY.

He wrote me again 4 days ago saying he has been behind (again) and that he will get them out to me. Since then, no mounts, no more responses, no tracking into. I have been burned out of money. I feel I have been ripped off.

And we have another example of why you really never, ever want to use anything but a credit card to pay for things you don't already have in your hands and know for a fact work.

I don't suppose Zelle will get you your money back? I've never used it. In fact, after reading up on it, I don't think I ever will.

Yep, I normally would not do it but they seemed reputable. He sent me a tracking number a few days ago but after running the number today in UPS, it has not even been picked up or dropped off. He just generated a tracking number it seems to shut me up.

If you know where the guy is located, call the local cops and see if they can be of any help at all. Tel them you want to file a theft report. At this point you have nothing to lose, it sounds pretty obvious he has no intention of sending what you paid him for.

UPS tracking information provided by owner and thief Marcin, still not valid. DO NOT BUY FROM THESE INDIVIDUALS. Imagine sending them $5,000.00

So I went on his facebook page and blasted him out for scamming me and suddenly my tracking number works. I still would never deal with him again. Renntech is more expensive, but at least they perform on time
