got scammed watch out for this seller!
hey guys just a heads up...i purchased a set of rims and tires from GOT BOOST? last week and havent gotten a pm,confirmation e-mail,tracking number etc. from him as of yet... when i first had interest in them he was messaging me right away and always answered back to any of the questions i had for him. as soon as i sent payment i havent heard from him since and hes not answering any of his pm's im sending to him..another member on this forum is having the same problem as i am and we both had to send in claims to pay pal to try and get our money back...if anybody has any info on him please post it or send pm as i want to get to the bottom of this. i just sold my car and i promised the buyer that i would get him these rims and tires and now im in a rut scrambling to get another set for him to keep him happy.

guys i have done business with him. however, i was lucky enough to have my uncle just pick the stuff up personally and pay him with a check. he told me he is new to paypal, but your right he should be getting back to you. see if you can call the guy

That is not good for everyone. I have a hard time trusting people when buying stuff online. So far I had all good sellers, thats when you stick with them the most you can for future purchases... sorry to here that man

I'll say this, he may have shipped the wheels and they might be in customs right now. I don't think anything sent into Canada moves real quick.
He hasn't checked the forums since Last Activity: 03-01-2007 04:05 PM so there might be a number of things going on that he can't control.
I don't know the guy, but give it some time and then make a case.
here is a link to his profile GOT BOOST?
I'd suggest that you go to this thread his wheel thread and mark his rep down.

i agree, we should team up with our claims and sent proof to paypal. theres a section that askes if you are suspicious or have proof of this person being frodulant. if we both give eachother as proof we should be able to convince them that we ligitimately got scammed.
i pretty much know everything about this guy, and yes he is in el paso texas and i know more or less where he hangs out, i also have his licence plate number and where he got his cobalt from. maybe i should get in touch with his local police department and see what they can do?
