626Silvia is a scammer and Paypal SUCKS!

[dvs954rr]

Ok, guys I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this particular subject, but if its not, can the mods please move it to where it belongs. I have bought a set of spacers from Shawn about 1 month ago, and it still has not arrived. I tried calling email and pming him, but no response. If anyone knows him, please let him know I am trying to reach him. I do not want to put him as a "bad seller" without trying to hear from him first. Thanks

Over a month ago, i purchased a pair of H&R 20mm spacers from him. I paid him through paypal and he promised to ship the item after payment. So after waiting 2 weeks prior to payment, still nothing. I emailed him and pmed him numerous times. Finally he gets back to me saying he wrote the wrong address on the shipment and it was mailed back to him. So he asked me to give him my address and it will be shipped via UPS and tracking along with it. So I proceeded to give him my address again, but no email or pm on the tracking number. I waited 2-3 days and pmed him about my tracking number. Till this day, I have yet heard a word from him, I tried callin his cell phone, emails and pming. This is my first time getting scammed and I'll tell you, it pi$$es me off. If anyone knows him, please let him know there is unfinished business he needs to take care of. Untill further notice 626Silvia A.K.A Shawn Fowler is a SCAMMER and horrible seller!!!!!

I bought a xbox 360 from Shaun Fowler. His email is [email protected] This used to be his number 626 679-4574. That's all I know.

1/1/09 Sent $165 for it. Looking back he seemed a bit eager. I hesitated a bit, but he had a trader rating of 8 and was a premium member.

1/6/09 Sent a pm. Asked if he had shipped it. No response.

1/8/09 Another pm. No response. Seemed reasonable enough for it to arrive. He lives 2 hours away and it would of been here if he had shipped it within a couple of days.

1/12/09 A response. A one that smelled of bullshit a mile away.

Hey.....Im sorry for the late response man. Heres the thing. The 360 got dropped while the stupid shipping person was wrapping it in the bubble paper stuff (some thing broke inside the 360) , so Iv took it back home to check if it still worked and it didnt? So Iv been looking around for some where to repair it but no luck? So Ima refund you the $165 later on this week, but forsure before friday! Again Im very sorry for the delay.

1/16/09 Friday comes. No response or refund. This gave him enough time to spend all my money so if I were to file a paypal claim I wouldn't get a refund. I should of opened a claim when he sent me that pm, so his account would of been frozen.

1/17/09 Filed a claim with paypal.

1/21/09 No response. 4 days seemed reasonable, so I escalated the claim.

1/31/09 No response. Paypal ruled in my favor. I was so happy that I got a refund back of ZERO dollars. He had no money in his account so I am out $165. FUCK.

What should I do now?

[YoungGun]

That sucks dude.

You're in san diego, he's in san gabriel valley area(assuming from his sn)

Why not go try and clear things up in person?

[FaLKoN240]

Dude, I'm in NorCal and I would drive down to make a point and get my money back.

[1989rps13]

Damn thats a long time man. I dont think he's a scammer though that much rep and a premium member but you know anybody these days trying to come up on a dolla LOL.
Gl getting your money back. So then he changed his numer? or you havent been able to reach him? Maybe hes too busy but then again 2-3 weeks and nothing thats way too long.

[handinpants]

You said he lives 2 hours away, get in your car and drive over there, get your money, and some interest for wasting your time.
Or handle it in small claims court, and supena paypal for his info, and the transaction info.

Settle it that way, just don't be a pussy about it or it will keep happening to you.

I am sure everything will work itself put

Ok, now if I knew his address I would do this. I would gladly drive up there. I think that some people knows where he lives, because they picked up some parts from him in another for sale thread. Or if I can figure out where this car is parked.

Well if he did, then he died after emptying his paypal account.

[Phlip]

Looking through his last thread, he has another couple of people he has not made right with either.
He is now banned from the marketplace, and it is noteworthy that he has not signed in since the 14th and hasn't posted since the 4th of January.

fuckin fool giving 626 a bad taste. I may have seen him at our local 626meet but I barely recognize the sn. Check PayPal for his address, I'll go over and regulate this sh!t..

Paypal, again is worthless. They wouldn't cough up an address. So I pm'ed people from his trader rating and mrflip69 found out his address. If you're serious about checking this out pm me.

[NISMO_tuner]

The car is junked...
It was in his backyard. If i still had his address I would help you. At the time he didnt seem like he was a scammer (although he did lie to me about the parts i picked up), but mayb that's cuz i was local and I had all his info at the time. Whoever has dealt with him should get together and get it all settled.

[PMSing Chicken]

I am pretty sure that I have his address. White pages has his listing. Looked at Google map street view and it seems like the house is the same house in his photos of his parted out 240.

[amdnivram]

i had his address, i might be able to look for it.
