In December 2009 I contacted *Contact information removed in accordance with Community Guidelines*
for a repair on 2 Realistic PRO34 scanners. I asked if one can be repaired and use other for parts if needed. He agreed and I shipped them postal insured.
They arrived safely and about a month later I contacted him. He needed $50 for labor and will check them out. I sent payment on March 03, 2010 Paypal transaction ID#63S33862GH995861D.
Time passed on and I reconnected him again. He was very short about the status of repairs, then mentioned an additional $100 to complete repair. I began to feel unsure of his intentions and said payment will be made after repairs. I will pay balance after proof of shipping. He agreed and I specifically told him to call me on the phone when finished to get in sync on shipping/balance due.
More time went on again and they slipped out from my memory. I also lost my e-mail account we had communicated through. I did some hunting around and found his e-mail address. I then created a new e-mail account and sent him a request on why I have not received my property back. I was not happy at this point, but remained civil the best I could. He responded by saying the radios were already shipped. This was a blunt lie because, no e-mail responses, no phone call received, no request for balance owed.
I explained that I received nothing, no shipping info or invoice or a phone call, like I asked to do. He just blew all that off and said he didn't need to call, it was shipped and it's not his fault or problem anymore. He quickly got very defensive, even tried blaming me for the disappearance. He also mentioned that the shipping paperwork got lost.
The gig was up at this point and it was obvious he ripped me off. He cut contact off with me with threats that I was harassing him. I'll admit after he lost my stuff and my money...I had nothing, who would not feel a bit anger. My contact with him is all e-mail documented with his lies. I kept a civil tongue until last e-mail I sent to him explaining his obvious amnesia to facts.
My e-mail records are very complete, accurate and detailed with our conversations. I imagine he just sold my property or caused damage trying to make repairs. These radios were very special in the fact they contained electronic crystals that allowed listening to frequencies that are now unavailable for public scanner radios.
It would not surprise me if he has done this to others. He obviously avoids giving name, return numbers, and following specific directions.
This dispute has obviously expired passed the allowed time limits of 45 days. I posted this dispute to give an accountable, but basic record of the issue I was presented with by the above businesses. Further detailed documentation that I have in my possession show proof of all facts mentioned above with the addition of details.
