i bought a gsr hondata IM gasket from velocitytrends back in april, after i didnt receive it and heard nothing back from him i filed a claim on paypal, he told me that he had indeed shipped it and to let him know if i didnt get it by the end of that week. well end of the week came and nothing, he said he would refund my money, so i didnt raise the paypal claim to a dispute(stupidity on my part after the lack of communication) well its now two months since i paid him and i still dont have the gasket or my refund, i went and bought another gasket from a different member on here so all i want is my money back. he hasnt responded to my last few pm's regarding this situation. all i want is my money back. this will be taken down IF that ever happens
screenshot of paypal payment

 

i have also emailed him and gotten no response, his paypal is velocitytrends@gmail.com and his name is Odalys Tavarez and he lives in florida, if anyone would happen to know a phone number or something i would greatly appreciate it as id like my 50 bucks back

 

Good luck, shady shop. I bought kpro 2 years ago and found out it was ****. Sent it to locash in arizona and he confirmed it and fixed it for me. Velocity trends said he would make it right , yada yada blah blah BS and then disappeard. F them file your dispute ASAP! I was new to paypal and didn't know I could dispute it before it was too late.

 

i cant i filed one at the 45 day deadline and took his word on the refund and never escalated in the time period when i had the chance, my own stupidity. lesson learned that will not happen again. i just want my 50 bucks as i need to buy a fuel pump for my car now. still no response to email or pm on here

 

still nothing, if one you florida guys can get me a phone number or something id appreciate it

 

surely someone from FL can help me out with a phone number...

 

Bunch of shady ppl man good luck.At least you were out 50 and not 900 like I was.

 

damn 900 is alot of $$$$. id be making a trip down there if i was out that much

 

Yeah, I got locash to test it, fix and pull it and install into a new ecu but then it ended up costing more all said and done then new.

 

Velocity Trends 9776 Beach Boulevard, Jacksonville, FL 32246

(904) 997-9903

 

thanks, i will try that number tomorrow after work and see if i can get ahold of anybody

 

number is no longer in service, figures

 

cant believe people are going so low as to scam someone out of 50 bucks

 

bump still hasnt responded to my emails

 

ttt still no response from him, pm'd another member on here about it and had them ask him and he told them he mailed it to me but i claimed i never got it, seemed like hes trying to play it off that i got the gasket and am trying to scam him! i have pm's from him stating he will give me a refund and thanking me for my patience as i paid for the gasket in april and didnt hear back from him until the end of may

 

ttt, just went back and checked, the name on some of his pm's was Steve but the paypal account was under Odalys Tavarez. hopefully i can find a way to get in contact with him soon, i could use that money right now to buy my damn fuel pump

 

still nothing, if someone can help me figure out who this steve is id appreciate it. still cant believe some people go as low as to scam someone out of small amount of money like this.

 

bump, his username on racejax.com is ADJUST. a thread will be made there with a link back to this thread, but i dont see it staying open long since hes a mod there. His name is Esteban Tavarez Soto and his wifes name is Odalys Tavarez. was just informed that she is the one i sent the payment to via paypal by another member on here who i will leave un named for the time being. give me the refund you promised me you damn scammer!

 

now he is only offering me partial refund after he offered full refund months ago and never sent it. heres the pm to prove it

 

Sketchy

 

thread on a local forum
http://s14.zetaboards.com/RaceJax/to...=0#post8378281
i told him i did not accept partial refund as i was never even given a tracking number and told him threads like this would be made on forums hes on until i get a refund. he refused the full refund he offered me months ago imagine that! what a ****ing low life POS

 

he still gets on here but yet cant come say anything in this thread, that should tell people something right there. also can a mod add Esteban Tavarez Soto to the title since he closed his shop down

 

ttt still wont give me the refund i was told i was getting

 

That's a bunch of B.S., cant the mods get block this guy until he responds or just ban his ***?
Will your bank or CC company refund you the funds, since it was paid through paypal, just inform bank or CC that you got scammed and they should refund you the money, then paypal will go after him for money.

 

i would if it wasnt 6 months ago already. now looks like im screwed out of 25 bucks he says he will give me 25 back now, i told him just send it im tired of dealing with his bullshit and imagine that no response to that pm even though hes been online on that site. what a bunch of crap. oh and the dumbass people on racejax all bitching about it only being 50 bucks let it go, my thread on there got locked, if he had any more people on his nuts they would fall off. i dont care if it is only 50 bucks its the principle of the matter. i paid 50 bucks, got nothing, and am only getting 25 back(IF this peice of **** can keep his word, his track record says otherwise) so i basically just pissed away 25 bucks. even if i get half a refund i will not do business with steve ever again and i would recommend the same to anyone else whos considering. he never provided prrof of shipment, im just supposed to take his word that he shipped it. hell for all i know he never did. steve and the majority of that racejax forum are a huge joke.
