Complaint Details
I as well as the gentleman whose complaint I just read over was scammed the exact same way. I purchase a manufactured engine for my 1999 Toyota Corolla that was never delivered. I was told that once my payment was made that the engine would be put into production and would take a couple of weeks to complete. I was told there would be no core charge and would have a 5 year warranty. Shipping would be covered but because I was told that they have a third party freight shipper who they deal with there was no tracking number that could be provided for the purchase. Once my engine was shipped the third party freight company would contact me to make delivery arrangements. Needless to say they did answer their phone and did make things seem to be on track. After waiting over a month I was told that the engine was sitting on the dock waiting on clearance to deliver to my home. They would not tell me where or what location this was because the gentleman I spoke with told me that David took care of all the shipping arrangements and he could only tell me that information. Well David was never able to be reached from that point forward and no returned phone call either. I left several messages requesting information about the engine and where it was or that I would be reporting the whole transaction as a fraudulent charge to my Credit card company. Now I finding that the website is no longer active and looks like they’ve closed shop and run. My credit card company is investigating and have temporarily credited me back my money. This was why I made the payment by credit card to cover myself just in case something like this would happen. I feel sorry for anybody else out there that purchased from these people with something other than a credit card. these guys are long gone now.
