It seems like it's easier said than done.

I sent an email to the guy who got screwed on this auction. Sure enough, his package was "lost" by DHL and ended up in CA.

ANOTHER VICITM

This was his response:
I started thinking it was a scam last week when the wheels didn't show up. I used paypal to pay and filed a dispute last week. All of a sudden DHL finds packages and sends them to me, which I received today. I think these guys were trying to buy time so maybe I'd cancel the paypal dispute file. The boxes were delivered by DHL and it was one empty box, one box with old school books, and two boxes with headlight parts in them. They were supposedly misrouted to California. I refused delivery, notified my credit card company, and will not authorize them to pay paypal. Feel free to use this as a post on the forum as I'm not a member. I appreciate you sharing the info, and will use it in my dispute with Paypal.

You could always try calling up Bain Capital...

Whoa!
That's a major bummer... $2600 down the hole! That's why never ever bid on a new seller for such a high-priced item! Even if the seller looks/sounds like a merchant because of the name!

I called Bain when I believed his name was 'Phil Johnson'...no one worked there by that name. Have not tried since we found his real name.

617-516-2000 is their main line.

Off Topic, but welcome to the forum. Sold my S2000 last year. Was the most fun car I never had the time to drive in my life.

I think I'm fired after today.

I left work early last Friday without signing out, had Monday off, came in today check the forum around 2:30 and I've been reading this thread all afternoon, I just couldn't stop. It's like daytime drama.... I expected my IT guy to come in my office to tell me to get offline. I think this guy is long gone by now, he's shut down his operation and Elvis has left the building. I know this guys is stupid but the dumbest criminal will still run to stay out of trouble. Thanks to the members and guest this guy will not scam anyone on-line again. I hope he does get caught and gets what he deserves. Great work guys, I'm very impressed, this is a made for TV crime drama.

Just decline any offers to work at a small insurance agency.

Well, technically Condom, you qualify as a scammer with all of the bull***** you pass off as reality in your posts. I mean jesus man if peddling false information was a crime you'd be on trial for crimes against humanity next to Herman Goering and Saddam Hussein.

Yeah I agree too but some of the pieces aren't adding up. Best Buy is still up in the air. He's the epitome of dumb and dumber but he's in hiding now and covering up as much as he can I bet.... it won't last though, he'll get caught. It's either "fight or flight"... and flight won't last forever.

Yea, hes trying to cover his *** but its too late.

But his posts on NikeTalk about "Defame" makes me just want to smack him and there is so MUCH EVIDENCe because NLPAMG posted the Thread on NT and its established on the first page or 2nd page the pics arent his and everything and the ips match C230_617 and he is posting about some refund BS which is also innacurate. Is just terrbile.

@Cylinder Head? Like What? lol
