Anyone know this guy...lives in Romco MI

I sent him a USPS M.O. for item on 12/17/01. Doesn't return any of my emails. Just wondering if someone knows him or if maybe there's some reason he cant respond to my emails before i take any further steps.

thanks

oops...i meant for this to go to the pontiac better business bureau section

[SCOTT ESTERLE]

Is this the guy that was advertising all kinds of 455 blocks on CP. If so i sent him an email asking for a price & got no rtn.

[Rocky Rotella]

I purchased a pair of long branch manifolds from him and was pleased. I had no problems with him whatsoever. When he originally sent the manifolds he did not put the flanges in the box. I emailed him about it and was promptly sent the flanges.

No problems here.

[RossGN]

Thanks guys

Hopefully there is a reason he hasn't responded.

[Tom Vaught]

Ask the operator for a listing (phone number) in
ROMEO, Michigan. (As in The Play). Should be able to talk to him that way.

[Rick Lightfoot]

Look in the classified feedback section on CP.TATODD is in there. Also,check his E-Bay feedback rating to check for other problems: http://cgi2.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&[email protected] :eek:

If you sent a postal money order you can talk to them about mail fruad :confused:

[Rick Lightfoot]

If you talk to your local postmaster,maybe the USPS can turn up the heat on TATODD. Usually threatening the USPS on people make them more than compliant. /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif That is why I always send the postal MO-less likely to get burned by scammers.

[RossGN]

Thanks guys...after seeing that Ebay feedback, I guess that answers my question. Oh, well....I've bought a whole lot of stuff over the internet without any major trouble. I'll go to the post office Monday am ...that's exactly why I use USPS money orders if I don't know the person.

thanks

My Comments

Guess that I missed what this guy also missed. I don't see anything about "I do not have this item anymore"

[Rick Lightfoot]

Todd appears to have quite a few negatives. I too didn't see anything in the listing that stated that the item wasn't available. :confused: :mad: :rolleyes:

[Wade Congdon]

I don't know him personally but I believe KEV may. I also think he was working for Danny Scott so you may be able to track him down there.

[RossGN]

Guess what my purchase was....a G-Tech accelerometer! :mad:

[Rick Lightfoot]

Maybe TATODD forgot to tell you after you sent the money that the item was no longer available. :mad: :rolleyes:

[rannca]

Man, seems like he started out good, and then just faded into a rotten businessman, I'll be sure to remember that name in any of my dealing, I hope you get satisfaction.

GOOD LUCK!!

I bought a pair of tires from him but I drove to his house in Romeo and picked them up. I live in Michigan too. I paid cash for the tires and took them with me so I really can't say anything good or bad about him. He told me he was a "fabricator" for Chrysler in the R&D area.

[Skip Fix]

Got a TA air cleaner base from him at a decent price.

[Lee]

Todd used to be a contributing member to this site, back in Spotts days. But, something seems to have happened.

I won't name names, but I know of two different people that have had questionable dealings with him - not sure if any of the comments on eBay are from them or not. Also, I think Todd and Kev have basically gone seperate ways.

[KEV]

Hey Guys... Yes Todd and I used to be good friends. I met him over the Internet on the old boards as Lee had mentioned. Our friendship lasted for a few years. I have not spoken to Todd in well over a year.

I am not quite sure what has happend over the past few years. My dealings with Todd have always been very good. Recently, I have been contacted by a few people trying to track down Todd. Aparently they get my name off of a web site that I created and he contributed to. (http://members.aol.com/gold66gto/arrowhead/main.html) I spent the better part of the morning yesterday bringing it down.

To the best of my knowledge Todd does not work for Danny Scott. He was doing some side work for a guy named Jim who sells a lot of parts (year one restoration) in Michigan.

I just want to make it clear that I am not in business with Todd nor have I ever been. As Lee stated, we have pretty much gone our seperate ways.

My intent here is not to bash anyone or discredit them in any way. I have spent a lot of time cultivating some very good internet relationships over the years. I have met some quality people who have helped me with more than just cars. I certainly do not want the actions of another (who ever that may be) to negatively effect me.

Good luck on getting your parts,

Kev

[WDCreech]

Just for your information, TA Todd frequently lists items in the classified section of the CP site.

[RossGN]

Thanks for the replies. I contacted the post office and have started taking the steps as required, since it was a Postal money order.

thanks

[RossGN]

FYI....well, i get home today and believe it or not, the item i purchased from Todd M. showed up. Postmarked 02/19/01. Don't know if the USPS had anything to do with it after filling out the paperwork for them, but I'm glad I used a USPS money order.

No explanation was included as to why it took over 2 months to ship product.

Oh, well....I've bought lotsa stuff on the internet, and this has been my first really difficult transaction.

[BradS]

Wow, I hope my rims show up!!! I have all but given up I would ever see them. Sent Todd a money order at the beginning December. I have called him at least 15 times and I talked with him. He kept promising to ship them "that weekend". 14 weekends later, no rims. Careful with this guy.
