Default Scammer: mikaleg6. Sold bad transmission

Basic story: Upon finding the FS ad of this transmission I contacted mikaleg6 asking the condition of the transmission. His reply was that the transmission was in great
operating order. Since this whole thing is based on trust I believed him because he had great communication when I had a question. When I sent him the money $680, I expected a speedy delivery. I waited just about 9 days before he actually shipped the transmission. When I have received the transmission I took a look at it and it looked fine. After installation of the transmission, I noticed that I could not put it into 5th or Reverse... I contacted the seller about this problem and he told me the expected answer that I knew I would get.. "It was working when I had it!" Well after taking the transmission to a specialist, he said the transmission casing was open previously and that it is leaking transmission fluid from the housing and that it is a possible bent fork or broken fork. The transmission specialist quoted me $600-$700 for repair. I contacted the seller once again, telling him I want a refund of some sort and he would not work with me.
To sum it all up, mikaleg6 is a lier and is out to get your money, selling you broken parts.

Notice his Signature... He didn't have that until I said something to him about the bad transmission he sold me.
