what to do about possible scammer
#16
Yeah... you shouldn't wait too long to take action. I gave up 3 weeks ago on selling a part also but never received a payment. It was only $20 and I waited 2 months so I just gave up and let him have it but $200 is a lot of money. I know that feeling when there is no response from a seller. Good luck!

Yeah I know. I dont want to wait. I also dont want to make an @ss outta myself if the wing shows up. I just want to know why this guy wont return my pm's or emails. I really dont want to have to call that agent back tommorrow. I hate to get this guy in trouble with the police over 200.00 But Im not just going to give him my money. I dont have a grudge against the guy I'm just a little pi$$ed thats all. I just want what I have paid for or my money back. What really stokes me is I offered to help this guy out. I was going to get him his fuel lines, all he had to do was pay for shipping. I dont know, I guess you just gotta be more weary of ppl now a days.

Wow, that sucks. And to think I was considering getting that same part. That guy was kind of flaky, he took forever just to answer my questions. Didn't seem like a bad guy though. Good luck, maybe he is just dragging his feet or gone on a trip.

Well, that is what I am hoping. On the other hand his profile says that he was on @ 12:30 yesterday. I really dont know what to think. I would feel better if he would just get in touch with me. Even if all he had to say was haha gotcha, I would still know one way or the other. It just makes me upset to have to wait on someone who doesnt have the guts to atleast contact me. I hope this is all just a big mistake so I can call myself and a$$ and be done with it.

Sorry to hear about this experience.
He was all chatty and PM'ing you before taking your money. If this person was having personal problems, an emergency or on a trip. It is very easy to send a quick PM to explain what is up.
I wish you the best with this. Keep us posted.

Well, I think that I have given this guy plenty of time to reply. I hate to do something so drastic over 200 dollars, but I feel that he has left me no choice. I may or may not get my money, but I will do everything in my power to see that this guy doesnt do this again. I have called the agent that I spoke with yesterday and he said that he would contact the mail server this guy uses. Hopefully some useful info will come from them. Oh well what goes around comes around, it sucks that this happened me being new to the suby community. I was once scammed in the honda forums, I guess there is a bad apple in every bunch. I am pretty sure that most of the subaru drivers I have met so far are honest ppl. I wont let this ruin the party, hell maybe its a sign to do the engine first I dont know either way I got a postitive trader rating from the whole deal. I just hope this guy gets whats coming to him.

this guy is good
I did a search for William Young in Cal. This guy is good There is 100 William Youngs in Cal. ages ranging from 21-205. Looks like this guy has done this before. What really gets me is he was on here for a long time. Like April of last year. I guess that some ppl make a living this way. Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr that really makes me mad. Oh well I guess I'll have to wait to hear back from the FBI.

I do appologize greatly for my mistake. I said that I would ask for forgiveness if I was wrong. I still havent seen the package yet, but its on its way. I have made an @ss out of myself and ask everyone on I-club to forgive me for my mistake. I have just been burned before and dont want to go through it again.
