[blageo23]

So I was lookin on DSMtuners and found something I liked. So I talked to the guy and sent him the money. Then he sent me an email that said like whats takin the money order so long to get there. It was like 3 days later maybe 4. And hes like if I dont get the money by Sat. I have to let it go to someone else. So I emailed him back saying I sent the money out and it should be there blah blah blah. And now its like 2 weeks later and I got nothin. How do I go about getting my money back? I have sent him like 3 emails after that and no replys. GRRRR people piss me off!!! Can anyone help me cuz I dont know what to do.

Thats happened to me before. What you have to do is take the copy of the money order you have back to the bank and say you want to put a stop on it(hopping that its not yet been cashed). If its been cashed before you put a stop on it then, sorry nothing much you can do. GL

If its a money order can't you file a mail fraud thing?

You should have done a COD. It costs a couple buck extra but you pay when you get the package delivered to your door.

I dont know what you can do besides trying to contact him.

It's a big pain in the ass... but since a verbal agreement in MN can be legally binding, you have e-mails, and it was on DSMTuners, you'd probably have some sort of case... But since it was such a small amount of money (not a car), you'd probably just be directed to small claims court.

Does DSMtuners have like a good guy bad guy type thing like Ive seen on here? I thought I have seen something like that on there but I cant find it.

Then you will probably end up paying for a box of random broken parts or rocks.

I always make sure to get a ton of information about someone before I do a transaction with them. 2 phone #'s, address, etc.

Yea, same here, I usually contact someone reputable from their area of the country and ask for background information.

I always buy locally but that hasn't stopped people from ripping me off.
