Hi . im wondering who this guy is and why he ripped me off. I agreed to buy a lower used votex bumper for my mk 5 which he took payment for on 19th of july, however after messages and phone calls were ignored and he fobbed me off with lies the bumper never arrived . also he was vacant from the site around this time and has just changed his last active status to private and removed the advert.I dont know why he would ripp me off as i thought i could trust him and we had a deal . but just to warn anyone else not to have dealings with this guy as he is not true to his word unlike the majority of dubbers. unless Redsnake wants to reedeem himself on here and tell me why after nearly 2 months of having my money in his bank , why the said votex bumper never arrived
Ive also posted this on ed 38 forums

I bought a small sheet of carbon vinyl off him but wasn't alot of money, less than a tenner. It took a while to arrive, but did arrive.
Sorry to hear you've fallen foul of someones dishonesty / crap morals :sad1:

Thats funny that cos at the same time he vacated from ed 38 forum, hes now changed his last active status to private and removed the ad. must be feeling guilty. watch he doesnt do the same on here so he can keep his hobby going

How did you pay?

His email addy is listed on his profile on here, have you tried that?

Tried it all mate he said he was sending it after he recieved the cheque and it was cleared in his bank . kept fobbing me off saying oh im sending it this week then when i asked for the courier name and trcking number he would blank my calls . very frustrating but nearly 2 months now so its a lost cause and im not going to wast any more time trying to contact, he knows the situation and would have got it sorted if ihe was a genuine seller .

strange i have dealt with him in the past nice guy infact he gave me the part i went for free so can't knock him for it

well thats what i thought ? sounded proper genuine on the phone , wish i had just gone down to his house to collect . but he must have just thought mmm had this money for a while now
-
Has he been sent down? Doing time? :signLOL:

Last seen during the riots using car parts to make a road block?
Sorry, shouldn't joke :ashamed:

Well phoned him again last night and he just put the phone down on me . will pay him a visit next time im down that way
-
i guess if you know where he lives or someone on here is willing to pm you his address then you let him know youre coming round and he really should have the cash. or the more friendly way is to report it to the police as a theft perhaps?

Hassle but, small claims court?

already been reported to police and and was instructed to file a report on action fraud . didnt want to take it this far but if he had stuck to his side of the bargain and just sent me the bumper as planned , just hate going down this route . its not a nice feeling
-
sorry to hear this, its a credit to this forum that the huge majority on here are decent people. as said before i thought redsnake was a decent bloke, sent my brother a rear bumper top section for free!
-
sent you a message mate
-
Not relevant but bought and sold to him with no problems.
-
Has has been said you sure he's not locked up :confused:

I've been to his house but to remember where it is is another thing :chicken:
I'm sure it's Huddersfield.
-
I too thought he was a nice guy.
-
i too have bought 1 or maybe 2 things off him and he was great to deal with.
I hope this has a good outcome for both guys :)
-
sent you a message mate
cant read them yet dude
-
Well just had a text from red snake . he has said sorry which i accept and says he will post the bumper on monday . so fingers crossed i might have a new bumper next week. will keep you guys posted and hopefully there will be no probs :smiley:
-
Fingers crossed for you mate ;)
-
I'm sure you will be fine mate!
Judging from the size of his house and land when I went over, I don't think he needs to scam anyone for the price of a bumper. :happy2:
-
Iv'e had dealings with Shane on a number of occasions and he is a proper nice guy and has Carlo said I think he has enough paper with the queens head on to go try ripping people off.
Possibly a bad time and wires crossed, hope it turns out well John

Well another week nearly over and still no bumper said he would send it on monday and unless its coming by horse and cart courier service it looks like a no show . everyone is bigging you up on here c'mon shane get it together :sad1:
-

Too right mate he's had my money banked for 2 months. looking at it as a no show and to be frank its left a bad taste. if it isnt here tommorrow i will just wait till im down that way on and call in to ask the man himself WTF?
-
agreed, i would take that course of action...he's been given enough time and benefit of the doubt. shame is, quite a few folk on have said what a top fella he is and he has let them down.

Yeah that realy makes it worse cos i read his other posts n stuff that he had sold parts to others ,which made me think" oh he sounds genuine". just my own stupid fault for sending him a cheque and thinking he would send the parts . looks like if you dont collect you dont get!
