Fellow Dubbers,

A WORD OF WARNING to you all about an e-bay scammer. I hate to resort to
public
outcry but I've exhausted every other option. At the beginning of this
summer I
purchased a Steppan wing off E-bay from a user: kevinrocco, real name Kevin
Greist. And I immediately paid for it via Pay-Pal.

Your invoice for eBay purchases - item #2479775508, VW Scirocco 75-81 MK1
Rear
Hatch Wing Steppan
Date: Mon, 31 May 2004 06:08:30 PDT
--from pay-pal records-------------------------------------------------
May 31, 2004 Payment To Heather Griest Completed Details
-$25.00 USD
---------------------------------------------------
I then had to leave for Mexico for 2 months for school. Upon arriving back
it
had not arrived. I contacted the seller Kevin who said his wife had a
problem
ahipping it to a PO-Box?? Bullshit. My pay-pal account has my real address
on
file and I received 3 other packages bought on E-bay at the same time as I
purchased and paid for the wing. After another month he sent me an email
claiming it was just sent out

Hello, The rear wing for the MK1 Scirocco was shipped out on August 21 at
8:32 AM. I will scan the post office reciept for you and Email it to you.
You did not purchace the Insurance I offered in the Auction so I am not
responsable for it after I ship it.
Thanks Kevin
----------------------------------------------------
As of today and after E-mailing him every week for that recipt, still no
proof
of shipment, and he even claims I'm lying. Why the hell would I bitch so
much
over $25?! Give me a break. I'm pissed off about getting ripped off, lied to
repeadiately, and treated unprofessionally. All I want is some sort of proof
that he shipped it so I can track it down in the postal service if it really
Did get lost. As I see it he took my money and never sent the wing. I can't
do
Anything else because by the time I got back into the country to find out he
ripped me off, it was past the time to file complaints with pay-pal, and it
would be silly to seek legal action over a measly $25.

I have his address and next time I'm in that area I'll sure to pay him a
really nice visit. But if anyone else happens to be in a position to deal
with
this character, I hope my word of warning helps you.
