i spoke to my bank about a week ago, theres nothing they can do as its a wire transfer, they would be able to do something if i had used a credit card etc,
the only thing they said was pay some small fee to contact the other bank(us) and transfer the money back, but the seller would have to agree to this, which i dont think in this case would work!!!!
I still havent managed to get through to the PD in aurora about this fraud, there never seems to be anyone at the desks,

 

Scammers I use hmotorsonline.com quick and they aren't going to steal your money.

 

man that sucks bro. There isnt anyway ebay can do something about this? i mean he did sell it on there site. Anyways good luck and i hope you get this resolved.

this doesnt make any sense... banks are insured regardless of it being a wire transfer?

i just called the department they are always there to pickup the phone... police are able to be reached 24hrs call them here 1-303-739-6000 you might have called a different location...you have to call the actual department station which there is always someone there to answer the phone.


also keep inmind were on the other side of the world,

2:00pm here in california equals 11:00pm your time...

 

Bump this up cause everyone should know about these ******.

 

im going to try the bank again on monday by phoning up their main branch to see if anything else can be done,
i can get through to the main police departments, its iust when they try pass you on to the fraud side of the pd there's never anyone there, i just have to keep trying i guess,
I got the time differences, so normally i ve been trying after work about 7pm uk time.

 

Good luck man. My friend got scammed a couple of years ago on ebay for a type r engine. He lost $3200. Ebay only reimbursed him $175. ($200 with a $25 fee) As a general rule I will not buy anything over $150 off ebay because of what happened to him. Same thing, wire transfer to a different country (Canada) and never heard from the guy after that.

Sucks we live in a world with dishonest people like this. Good job lettin everyone on here know what's up. Good luck

yea talk to a supervisor of your branch.. its rediculous that your bank wire transfer isnot insured for fraud. what you can also do is file a complaint here. these complaints go directly to the city attorneys office in his location.

before the fbi would handle every case, now local departments handle cases within their city. and like i said the complaint will go directly to the city attorneys email and you will get a letter letting you know who will be handling the case.

dont give up bro. I am sure if you try your heart out you will get to the botton of this. I feel for you so much. believe me if I had the money I would love to help you out. If we all get together and pitch in 20 dollars towards your new motor I am sure we could get you one. its just trying to get people as kind as me to help. Good Luck

 

hey thanks dude that means alot, thanks for all the support guys, i will keep you all informed on the situation.

 

i recently filled a complaint with ic3, but havent had any email reply or contact yet, i sent it about a week ago.
i let you know whats the latest, cheers dude

 

hey i remember seeing that engine on ebay a while back. when i asked if i could come see his so called "overstocked" warehouse he stopped replying. this dude was so stupid he also had this k20a2 for sale but played it off as a k20aR. if i stilled lived in CO, i'd go knock his *** out for ya.

 

God damn it i hate scammers. and im starting to hate ebay too. paypal ebay scammers-fvck u!!! What i do now when i buy stuff over 1k is just tell them i have a "friend" that lives near them and if it would be okay for them to come pick it up. if they say no i tell them to die. my dad almost got scammed buying an m3 but the bank reimbursed him. good luck bro u need it

 

Best thing to do with ebay is to stick to ebay stores.

 

hey ive found this guys, but im unsure on creating a web link (sorry) copy and paste it though, theres a video aswell,
basically i transfered money into her account for the engine, she then forwards it onto western express where she gets comission i guess, but they dont tell her that the customer will never get the product, so she is left with the blame, with no proper contractorial information on who in western express the money is transfered to.

I know this might sound cheesy to some but Ive always wanted to try it,..... (getting several hundred ppl to chip in a very minimal amount of $$ and see just how much it would accumulate) I'll match the $5.

good luck - im ofcourse willing to add to your figures.
Thanks for the suppport!!
