Default JOE0522 may be a scammer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I sent $220 to "joe0522" for a set of used SRP 9:1 pistons that were said to be in good shape. He indicated that he had them checked by a machine shop, and that they were given a clean bill of health....... so to speak. I received them yesterday, and immediately saw that there was scoring all over the skirts of all the pistons. I thought that I would just have my machine shop polish that out for me, and use them anyway. They were used, that was to be expected; to a point, with used pistons. Upon going to pick them up today, my machinist told me that the ring lands were expanded on some, and the skirt was collapsed on one of them as well. This is the kind of thing that a good machinist will pick up on right away. My machinist didn't even check the wrist pins for damage, and told me to get my money back. He can usually salvage a fair amount of torn up thing I take to him......"not this time", he said. So in essence, he lied to me about them being checked; not to mention, them being far worse off than the pics/he himself suggested. He texted me like crazy while he was trying to get the money out of me.Now I've texted him three times, To not avail I might add!


I.M. through here:

I will keep this post alive till I get my money back or he is banned! This is why people are so skittish about buying on here, this is my first time doing this. I hope this guy can come through, and not be a real scammer!

Do not file as item not as described.
File as item not received or call your credit card company and get them to issue a chargeback.
Paypal will not cover item not described unless you paid via ebay.
