Icon3 **Possible scammer: I heart honda**

He says stuff is shipped, but does not provide a tracking number and ignores PM's asking for one. Beware of this guy..

I bought a 00 GS-R transmission for $550 on December 13th. On December 19th he said he would definitely get it shipped out by the 20th. Waited until the 22nd to PM again and he said he would 'definitely' get it out before Christmas(25th). I asked if he could refund the money until he is able to ship it out on the 27th. On December 29th he said it is shipped out and I have PM'd him a few times since then asking for a tracking number, but he ignores it.

All he needs to do is give me a tracking number or a refund if he is not able to get things together and ship it. You can obviously see he comes on here still and it takes no more than 1 minute to reply to a PM with a tracking number. I'm already getting scammed by another guy on a different site, so my trust level is very low.

That doesn't justify repeatedly ignoring someone, especially with an internet sale. He was fine with answering PM's until it came to asking for the tracking #.

Bad seller. I know it's the holiday, but don't promise people if you can't get it out on time. Also ignoring someone is a coward move. He needs to give you more info on whats going on.

I understand your frustration and there is no excuse for not answering you pm's but i'm sure he has a logical explanation. I mean he could have some sort of emergency or family situation... I don't know him personally but he's been on here for quite some time now and i dont think he'd ruin his rep for $550 dollars.

I say give him at least a few more days, before calling him a scammer! Just my 2c.

I sold the guy an ecu and it took awhile for me to get ahold of him for payment, but eventually he came through for me. It was also during the Xmas season. He told me he's in the middle of doing a gsr swap into his CRX so he seemed quite busy. Maybe with the Xmas/holiday/family season and doing his swap he's a bit slow on responses? or packing up the tranny. Give him some time and if worse comes to worse you have so many days of paypal protection isn't it?


Oh and just to be clear i dont' know him personally it was stictly a internet transction i know this person from. From what i could tell he seemed to be legit?

no scammer here, its just been a rough couple weeks.

i had scheduled a pickup with UPS for them to come get the transmission. They came and picked it up on tuesday. They returned it today because the label that i made got wet and the ink ran. im sorry for being short with you on the internet man, i have been staying at my moms for the holidays and the woman lives in the stone age and doesnt have the internet LOL.

here is a new tracking number for you, i printed it out directly from paypal and used USPS this time. I also made sure i used clear packing tape overtop.

really sorry for the mixup! please make sure to repost in here that everything was cleared up when you receive the tranny.

thanks again, and sorry for the hassle.

PS: i dont know exactly which number to give you but here are both number i received online...

Tracking Info:

420495199102128882300554846251

9102128882300554846251

I'll be dropping the package off tommorrow

Your carpet is ready to go out. I had 550 from the transmission from IntegraCF21, and 206 from you, ShawnR. I'm currently doing a gsr swap in my crx and ordered mounts and a wiring harness with part of the money. Then when IntegraCF21 open a claim the 550 was removed from my account until the dispute is resolved. That's how paypal works.

I told you I dont have the cash on me to ship out the carpet at the moment. I've been spending money left and right trying to get my car running.

If IntegraCF21 didnt open that claim, your **** would already have been shipped out.

You can either just give it a coupel days until he gets this tranny and I get the money back to send your stuff out or I can give you a refund once this blows over. It's up to you either way. But you opening a dispute right now is only going to make things worse. Just be patient is all I ask.

Everything turned out fine. It was just miscommunication. I heart honda is not a scammer.
