View Full Version : Scammed a while back. What to do?

Hey guys,
I bought what was supposed to be a GT2871 about a year ago. I guess for whatever reason, I never checked the numbers on it and just tossed it in. Stupid me, I know... :-/
I was curious exactly which trim it was the other day and went to look at the part number. Sure enough, it's a GT2560, definitely not a GT2871.
My old turbo was a dual ball bearing s15 turbo, while the new one is the journal bearing style s14 turbo. Because the new one was journal it spooled slower and thus felt like a GT2871 to me for a whole year of driving it...
My question is now that it's a year later, is there anything I can do? Or am I screwed and stuck with a turbo worth half what I paid?
Thanks.

I didn't come here to have you guys tell me it was stupid; I realize that already. I simply forgot to check the number, it was a mistake.
However, sometimes you guys have good ideas and do more than just tell people they're stupid so I thought I'd ask.
If I'm stuck with it, I'm stuck with it and that's fine. It was my fault for not checking and I take responsibility for that. But if there's anything that might just give me a chance to get my money back, I'd like to hear about it.

I don't think I'm as screwed as you guys make it out to be. I mean, this guy knows he scammed me so perhaps under the threat of exposing him he would think about working with me. He had a good post count and reputation so I doubt he wants that tainted. Or perhaps it was an honest mistake and if I show him that he can work with me to make it better.
My point is, there are still options in talking with him... I came here for advice in how to go about doing that.
I also would not expect a full refund considering I got a year of use out of it. Perhaps he could buy it back from me for $600 or so. (I paid $750)

Yeah, that's really my only option left. I'm hoping it was a mistake and the guy wants to make it right. I just thought I'd check here first before messaging him and see if anyone had any ideas on word choice to help him see my way.

What's happening is that I forgot to do something, check the part numbers, and that cost me some money.
I'm sure all of you have made a stupid mistake so please get off your high horses.
And to those who are being nice about it, thanks.
You could have started by messaging him first and see where it goes than creating a thread and thinking about messaging him. So go and message him and see what happens, keep in mind of Pingg's post.
In the end, it's your fault for not checking the part, especially for a turbo.

I didn't want to ruin my only chance of working with him to fix this by saying/doing something wrong when I message him so I thought to gather ideas first.
And yes, for the millionth time, I realize this is my fault.

That may have worked within a month or so of buying it but now I think the bank will probably just tell me to piss off.
My best/only option at this point seems to be talking to the guy I bought it off of.

You're stuck with it man. Its been a year so how does he know you didn't blow the turbo or just wanna scam him. You act like you can not check what you ordered, then just use the parts, realize you screwed up & want a refund. Deal with it you made a poor choice, there ain't no changing it a year down the road.

Either he knows this because he intentionally scammed me or he made a mistake and sold me the wrong turbo (Meaning he'd still have the GT2871). It's pretty easy for him to know he sold a GT2560 instead of the GT2871 it was said to be...

You got a case bro!!! First up, blow up the turbo..... Then, go to the court and file a case for wrongful death claim. State that the turbo you bought was malnourished and susceptible to death due to prior family history that was unreported at the time of sale. Once you get the ball rolling in the court system.... Take a deep breath, look at your turbo, and the. Tell yourself .... "Fuck me."

I'm sorry that some of you feel the need to put me down for something that I admit was a mistake, in order to make yourselves feel better.
I'll be contacting the seller shortly and keep up to date here.
Once you installed the turbo you made your acceptance pretty concrete. There is nothing you can do, and no way you can get your money back. Unless the seller is retarded.
It's up to the buyer to inspect goods on arrival. If you contacted him right away you could have done something about it.

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure not all of us shop at Nordstrom where we could buy a $50 shirt (which cost $5 to make), wear it for 3 years, and still get an exchange.
You're buying used parts, in which most are labeled "as-is" basis and it's up to you to check within a reasonable time.
It's kinda like me buying a 3 button mouse because it's says "gaming mouse" on the cover, but what I really want was a 3-button mouse that says "gaming mouse" with a middle scroll. If I come back to Fry's Electronics 1 year later, you think they will give me an exchange with receipt?

Not related at all. In both of those situations the seller did nothing wrong. In this case, I was told the item was something it's not which was wrong on the sellers part. Let's say you buy a cat that's supposed to be spayed and then a year later you find your cat is pregnant. You'd go back to the store and ask them to spay the cat, wouldn't you? All I want is what was supposed to be mine in the first place which is the same in this case. The difference is that I was dealing with a private party and not a store which has receipts/records making the transaction more legitimate. The fact I was dealing with a private party put some responsibility on my shoulders to verify the item is correct, yes, but the seller also has a responsibility to provide the correct item.
I'm done arguing against why I should not be able to seek a solution to this but if anyone has a positive suggestion; I'm all ears.

So i walked into a candy store asking the cashier to sell me a milk chocolate bar laying behind the counter. He hands me the chocolate bar that was supposed to be the regular milk bar but it was actually a chocolate bar with peanuts in it. I bought it with out reading the huge print on the wrapper that says peanuts and stood their and ate the bar in front of him. After i got done eating the whole chocolate bar I realized that it contains peanuts. I told the cashier i want a refund and the right chocolate bar because you handed me the wrong one.
So whose at fault?
I think both
But how should this be resolved?

So what would happen when he says he sent you the right turbo, its been over a year, YOU'RE THE ONE TRYING TO SCAM HIM, claiming that he sent you a different turbo.
As a seller, if I sold you something, sent you the part, never heard anything from you for over a year, you even installed/ran it for that long and you're now claiming I gave you the wrong part, I'd tell you to eat a dick. That money is long gone. Go sell it yourself and maybe get some of your money back that way.

Garrett Version S15 Turbo : GT2560R - SR20DET (http://www.240sxmotoring.com/gaves15tugts.html)
The s15 turbo is the GT2560 also... The difference is that my old one (s15 GT2560) was ball bearing while the new one (s14 GT2560) is journal. Power output is similar but the s15 one spools a good bit faster. Due to my new one spooling slower, it felt like it could have been a GT2871. Also, I haven't ridden in many 300whp+ cars so I didn't know what to expect. I can go on with more reasons but that's the jist of it.

same shit happened to me about a yr and a half ago. bought q45's with rotors. guy said the rotors and calipers were good. went to have the rotors turned, shop told me they didn't have enough life left. i only paid like 5-10$ extra for them, but that's still bullshit.
as for the calipers, i had to find out they were blown the hard way. put them on with new pads and rotors and everything, and it started leaking brake fluid. shit was smoking.

Honestly man I don't think there is anything you can do besides contacting the seller and hoping he's rich or extremely nice.
It could have been an honest mistake tho like he could have been told the wrong information when he got it and passed it along to you.
I bought "2 rear TT 300zx rims" from a guy local to me and when i got them home I put them on my car just to see how they fit.
Thats when I realized they were actually the fronts, not the rears.
I called him up that day and let him know and he apologized saying he was told they were TT rears.
He offered me my money back or asked me how much I would want back to keep them.
He was really cool about it.
Always depends on the person your dealing with, but if I had waited a year to tell him about it, I doubt he would have really cared.

This still isn't completely accurate to my situation. In my situation, I didn't eat the candy bar (turbo). I still have the candy bar (turbo) and can give it back to the seller in exchange for what was supposed to get. Your example would work if I had ruined the turbo and then tried to take it back. The turbo still works the same as when I bought it so this is not the case.

You raise a good point. I had considered the thought that threatening to make his name public would make him consider righting his wrong. But I did not consider the fact that he might lie and spread word that I'm trying to scam him. Then it's a big he said/she said on the internet and both of our reputations are damaged.

Internet reputation...who really gives a flying fuck about it? If start giving me bad reviews, I could fucking care less. You've been here no more than a year so why would we side with noob if the seller is really "reputable". You're not part of the cool kids so nobody would give a fuck. At this point, you have no case.

you dont get shit, regardless if the seller made a mistake or not - you're a few sandwiches short of a picnic and a year short of a case. its been a fucking year, you've used whatever turbo you have and its OVER.
the irony behind all this, is you make this post and we're supposed to assume that you're 100% legit. I mean, why cant we assume that you arent trying to pull a fast one and now trying to send that turbo back? Makes no sense. Whatever claim you're trying to claim is moot.

If there are two stores selling the same thing at the same price but one store has some random guy out front yelling about how the store screwed him over, who are you more likely to buy from? You don't know that guy outside the store but he's still gonna make the store look bad.
I realize it's not much but the "bad mark on your rep" card is really all I have left to play at this point if he winds up not being a nice guy.
I'll be contacting the seller shortly and keep up to date here.
This was sent around 3:00pm PST.
I still have the option of talking to the seller and seeing if there's anything at all he's willing to do.
This leaves me you did not bother to message him yet or if you did, wait until he replies rather than waiting for advice from other users. Majority of us or not all will say you're fucked, it's been way to long to do anything, have a friend shoot an arrow to your knee, go to court, lesson learned, and/or you're screwed.:rimshot:
Edit: I noticed the 3 posts before I finished typing this and I was right about him not sending a message, LOL!

I'm gonna. What angle do I take tho?
I could say, "Hey listen asshole, I want what I was supposed to get!! :rant:"
Or I could say, "Unfortunately I think you sent me the wrong turbo a while ago and I just noticed it. Perhaps you can help make things right"
There are two extreme angles I can attack it from and a bunch in-between.
You need to go at it like this.
Hey man I bought this turbo from you a year ago and I just realized its the wrong one.
Is there anyway you would take this turbo back for/toward the one I was suppusto get?
Obviously you need to tell him you've been using it, but its still in good condition.
Then add whatever you want but dont be a dick on the first message lol.
If you come at him calm theres better chance for a peaceful resolution.

What does it matter that I didn't send him a message yet? I said I would contact him shortly and I plan on doing that still. Forgive me if your definition of shortly is within a few hours... I was planning on messaging him sometime this weekend.
Also, he's not a member on Zilvia (at least I don't think he is) so there goes your theory of me waiting for him to reply to this thread.

Yeah, I definitely wouldn't be an ass right off the bat. Depending on how he replies to the initial nice message, the plan may change tho.

Show me where I said he was on Zilvia... I haven't even been a member on Zilvia for a year so explain to me how I bought a turbo from a guy on Zilvia over a year ago.
And men plan their actions before just jumping into it. Now I plan and this weekend I take action. Chill out bro.

I used to have shitty tires before that broke traction really easily with the s15 turbo so it was no different when I broke traction with what I thought was a GT2871. I only became unsatisfied when I upgraded my tires and realized the power I thought I had wasn't there. The poor drag run it made didn't help matters either and at that point I decided to check the turbo.

That has to be one of the least useful posts I've read in this thread. And that's saying a lot since since 75% of the posts in here aren't useful.

It's been A WHOLE YEAR since the transaction in which YOU did NOT INSPECT THE TURBO when you first got it. How do you expect us to help you in this situation? Honestly, I have no idea what to tell you but you're screwed and learn from it.

See, the OP was making himself look like somewhere between the village idiot and an unabashed jackass, and I'd planned on leaving this thread open until morning before I drop my daughter off to the sitter's.
Then this happened:
Also, he's not a member on Zilvia (at least I don't think he is) so there goes your theory of me waiting for him to reply to this thread.
If he is not a (known) member of Zilvia, this thread has NOTHING to do with Zilvia once it was established that the OP was screwed by his own stupidity.
Figure that shit out yourself, you already know your options.
