had a post about a fuel rail:

zerothread?id=444561

one person who ill mention sent me an email, which i still have, with his number to either email or text him. so we did the texting part and came to the conclusion that ill send him a money order for 40.00 for a fuel rail, injectors and the spacers.

i sent the money order, and i still have the reciept for it, and he texted me and told me he recieved it, cashed it and set out the rail. its been about 3 weeks now and i have sent 2 emails, and 3 texts with no response and no fuel rail.

since i tried and he had no response this is his info

jonathan ainsworth5905 phillips dr.forest park, ga 30297

cell is 404 766 8668

dont know his nico name since he didnt post on the thread but he is a scammer, cashed m/o never sent.

hate to say it but its your own fault, you never send someone a money order. use pay pal so if you don't get the item you can dispute it and get your money back. look at it as $40 lost to learning a valuable lesson. also always pay extra for tracking and insurance because he could have sent it and it got lost in transit.

Not really. Someone cashed your money order, but you haven't received anything, that's a federal crime. Talk to someone at post office and file a complaint.

Money order...... yea paypal only, but dispute the payment with the money order company (probably cost 10-12 bucks). Or find someone to go collect. Did he provide any shipping info?

on this tattoo forum im a memeber of they have rules for buying and selling and one of the rules is to use pay pal to keeep stuff like this from happening and if it does then pay pal will handle it. its sad to get scammed but as they say a sucker is born every second and with the economy the way it is now days you need to be extra careful.

tattoo machines, power supplies, clip cords, foot switches, needles, ink, videos, flash, books, light boxes, coils, a bars, frames, tubes, medical supplies, chairs, tables, basicly anything and everything tattoo related and tattoo shop related. think about tattoo equipment like car parts, quality cost money.

when i sent him the text's and emails i simply asked him when he mailed them out and what he used for the method, no reply. i talked to the p/o about anything pending on its way to me and they said they have no records of anything.

im not going to disagree with you at all sebazztard, the circumstances brought me to one possible conclusion is all.

thanks outtowinpahc for your help. i also sent him an email about my post and that i will be more then happy to help correct the situation once i got my parts i ordered and he responded today with this:

"Sorry for the delay. The fuel rail was returned because apparently one of the injectors still had fuel in it. And seeped throught the packaging. I am overnighting the fuel rail today after work. Sorry for the discrepancy but I did not see it sitting on my back porch. Please let me know if there are any other problems. As far as you making a post about me being a scammer i understand. Im sorry for the tremendous delay. You will have it tomorrow."

that is copied and pasted directly from his email. so it seems ill have to agree with you sebazz...but he didnt reply back to my emails texts so i can agree 100%

ill let you guys know when i get my parts, and again a huge nico thanks!!!

Paypal is garbage, whether you win the dispute or not, that sh*t is useless.

nothing wrong with defending a legit seller man, glad everything worked out good! patience is key with dealing online, we all have lifes and sometimes it takes a day or two to get to the post office, sometimes they send stuff back after a week because they cant read the adress. glad everything worked out for you.
