Default I think I have been scammed.

Damn, I hate **** heads out there who like to rip people off. I was needing all the lights for my 90' Civic. Well, i found a guy in Florida who had just what I needed. I talked back and forth a little bit, he also seemed legit. We settled on a price of $100 even shipped. I figured thats not a too much, and chances are, someone is not going to ruin a reputation over $100. Well, I was wrong. He emailed me two weeks ago telling me he recieved my payment, and was going to ship the lights out the next day. Well, I know it doesnt take 2 weeks to ship lights. He has since ignored my emails, and I am sure he has blocked my name from AIM. God, **** like this pisses me off.

ok so u sent him money without knowing this guy or anything.... that has to suck man... i really wouldnt send money to anybody that i dont know and lives real far... he can just cash the check or whatever payment and keep on walking...

do u know what part of florida he lives in??? name? phone number? address u sent the money to?

if i were to really buy anything off of a private party i would at least go through ebay, where u can report them or somethin...

sorry man... it feels like u simply gave a stranger 100 bucks huh?

Well, I can see you are able to read. Thats the chances you take. Its called supply and demand. The supply in Utah is not here. If I go to ebay, I sit around and wait, and fight others for a outragous price. Then, what are the chances of getting a complete set, from the same car, all in one auction? Well, I have yet to see it happen yet. And yes, I have all the info that he gave me. Name, address, phone number. But I will wait a few more days, and go from there.
