Hi all,

Sorry for the money lost but thanks for the heads up regarding dubious sellers.Harold

You should make a paypal account. I myself dont like it but it keeps me from getting scammed.

BTW PopPop is super reliable and highly recommended.

I agree... I usually only send money orders to people Im confortable with....

[mrzabala]

Yeah Popup is reliable. Even though the fender I bought was messed up he was understanding and gave my money back (even though I could easily get paypal to do the same ).Little mistake but I did buy a fender from popup but made the statement in the wrong area... Ive seen Poppop's for sale parts and see his threads regularly so seems like good things going on.

Where did you send payment to? If it's anywhere near me I'd be happy to stop by his house with a couple friends for you.

Thanks BMWKiller!

But this guy (DarkStar) lives in Bel Air, Maryland.

Before I sent him the money order, he responsed to my questions in five minutes, and now I have sent him total of ten emails asking for the shipping status, he did not response at all!!

I believe stealing over state lines is a federal offense maybe you should contact his local DA

It's important that you keep all the information that you have on (darkstar), and report it to fraud prevtion. They can track his IP: address and help stop internet scams. They not only scam people for money but steal are time and energy to deal with the incadent.
