To Everyone buying a clip OR near Ocala, Fl

[sanmiam]

I am writing this in regards to a sour clip transaction that I have had to deal with over the past three months from a business based out of Ocala, Fl. I know that for many of you this is well within your stomping ground, so I was looking for a little help in order to get some restitution.

On Oct 27 I arranged with Aaron Fiehn, owner of Visualize Motorsports, for payment of an RB25 in the amount of $3200. I sent a cashiers check out via certified mail on Oct 29. Aaron promptly sent out an e-mail stated that the check was received and cashed. With only a few short e-mails the next month passed, right by his Dec 4th deadline. When I e-mailed him regarding this he said that the clips were not in as good a shape as he had hoped, and he was taking extra time to check everything out. Well that was about two months ago, and I have not heard anything else from him. I have, however, spoken to his mother a couple of times who was at first eager to help until I started to tell her exactly how much money was involved.

After much research I can across an old e-bay name registered to an address he corresponded with, and found about 15 negative feedbacks, one was actually from a e-bayer who supposedly bought a picture of a clip from him for the price of an engine.

So at this point I am sure you all can make your own inferences about his business practices, I have. I am writing this post for two reasons
1) DO NOT BUY FROM VISUALIZE MOTORSPORTS
2) I was looking for anyone in the Ocala area that may know anything regarding either Aaron, or his “company”. If anyone can pose info that will allow me to recoup my money I will definitely compensate either them, Zilvia.net, or both

Below is my information, and under that is Aaron’s. I am not providing his info to encourage any harassment, but rather in order to better identify who he is for anyone that may have info. Thanks to everyone for the help, it is greatly appreciated.

How did you initially learn of him and his business? Do You still have the reciept for the cashier check? Where do you live?

[sanmiam]

Learned of him from a different e-bay auction, but delt directly instead of through e-bay. Yes I have a copy of the cashed check, and I am looking into a few different legal avenues in order to get my money back, but I was specifically looking for anyone on the board that has direct information reguarding him, not legal advice.

If you cannot get someone on the phone after having given them $3200 then you should be talking to the police, not a forum.

You've been nice enough. Call this person again. If he cannot deliver what he promised then your money should be returned. That simple. If he will not agree to this his local police department will help him see the light.

So so often we have seen these guys come up, talk a good game on the forums, and take people's money. A lot of them seem to have just stuck their necks out and possibly gotten screwed by their own shady distributors. Then they panic and don't know what to do since they received parts that they know are no good, if at all, and now have no money to pay people back.

I hope you get your money back. There is no worse feeling than getting screwed like this. Maybe this will be yet another bit of proof to people that they would be better off dealing with legitimate businesses instead of some kid selling parts online from his mom's house.

Yeah, just report it to the police. Since you mailed in the check it could possibly be mail fraud, which is a federal offense (FBI). Let the guy know you are going to notify the authorities unless he straightens out the mess within a week or two....but definately follow through with notifying the police if he doesn't follow through.
