It pains me to write this but I bought a set of heads from Andy Mitchell on Ebay back in June. I paid for them after having a couple of nice long chats with him on the phone.

Bottom line, last time I heard from him was September 2nd. He has not returned phone calls, e-mails (both through e-bay and just e-mail), and paypal requests.

Yes, stupid me for waiting so long to take action. That is my fault for trusting him and his reputation. I wanted him to do a little additional port work/cleanup on the heads and was going to pay him the difference and he agreed.

Stupid me for saying I wasn't in a big hury and was still undecided on what cam I was going to go with (flat tappet or roller). We were even discussing trading my Wenzlers for rotating assy and valvetrain parts.

I was figuring something happened (who knows, went back to the UK or something). Well, he has had the time to list more stuff on Ebay to include a car but not the time to respond to his customers.

Yes I have reported this to both Ebay and paypal and I am about to report him on www.ic3.gov, the bbb, and open a local complaint with my police dept and his.

Andy Mitchell, if you read this I think you will have to admit that I have been more than fair and patient with you on this. I do not believe you intended go out and rip me off, but I now have no doubt that you have no intentions to honor your commitment. You did leave me positive feedback and I really enjoyed our chats, however, you have not returned several attempts from me to contact you and you have not responded to my two paypal money requests. I find this most unfortunate to air dirty laundry publically

Mr. Mitchell, right now I suspect you are willingly commiting fraud against me and your recent ebay feedback further enforces that belief. Mr. Mitchell, I am one stuborn, hard headed, and principle based man. I ignorantly trusted you in good faith. I accept my responsibility for that. If you don't refund the $800.00 I paid you in June, I will press charges against you and I will fly out to California (Govt space available) this spring while I am on retirement leave from the Army to testify against you and take you to small claims court.

Mr. Mitchell and Outlaw Racing CA, I John Hudson give you my word that I will follow through with this. I accept this may cost me a lot more money than the $800.00 you have of mine but this is a principle and integrity issue, not just a money issue now. I won't blow this off, I absolutely promise you that.

If you refund my money, I will gladly come back to this post and state this issue is closed.
