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

ross

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.

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

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. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img] That is why I always send the postal MO-less likely to get burned by scammers.

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

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:

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.

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

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.

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.
