Guest DatsuNoob Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 What a dick. Sorry to hear about that, guys like that wont get too far too long ripping people off all the time. Do you have any witnesses hearing said verbal contract? Might be something you can bring into small claims, $500 is a fair chunk of livelihood these days. Never an easy pill to swallow, I feel for you, been there. Hope something good happens for you Link to comment
AZhitman Posted November 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 No need for verbal - I have his emails still. Of all the people to try to shaft, he had to pick someone with a law enforcement background, with friends in every state, who works as an investigator and runs the largest Nissan forum on the web. Ooops. Link to comment
fisch Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Me thinks the wrath of the hitman is about to be released!! I have a saying about $, and many of my friends who aren't even car guys have adopted it. Anytime I have to pay too much for something (like a vet bill), or even when I make a bit of unexpected cash I say, "Dat's a lot of Datsun!" and dude, $500? "DAT'S A LOT OF DATSUN!" Keep us updated!

AZhitman Posted November 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Yeah - This moron acts like he's the only one in the world getting hit hard by the recession. I'm more than a little pissed. I'd have had a lot more respect for him if he'd said, "Screw you, I'm keeping it." His phone is about to start ringing in the middle of the night. Link to comment
nukeday Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 If an email is admissible as evidence in small claims, just take him to court and be done with it. If he can't pay, he's made his own bed. He obviously doesn't know the extent of discomfort you might be able to cause him. It doesn't seem too complicated, since the car sold to someone else, he should have refunded your money. The proceeds from the sale should have covered his mis-handling of your original deposit. Anyway, if you've got LE / PI experience, you know enough not to jeopardize your own standing. IMHO, if you spend a lot of time on this, he's screwed you twice. Have fun with it, but be careful. Note to self: Don't piss off AZhitman... Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Make a police report, this is fraud over the internet. we are talking Federal Law here, the dude just screwed himself. If he wrote emails saying he would return your deposit he has commited fraud and larceny. Get him Hitman. Link to comment
athoose Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Whats up with PayPal? I would think they would pursue legal action. Otherwise, what's the point of Paypal. Argh! Link to comment

AZhitman Posted November 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Yep... I don't think I could ever do to someone what this guy did. Especially a fellow Datsun owner, knowing how tight the enthusiast community is. People disappoint me. Link to comment
AZhitman Posted January 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Update - Yesterday, after several months, I received a refund via PayPal via the seller, as well as an emailed apology. All is well. Thanks for letting me vent, and I appreciate the support. Link to comment
yellowdatsun Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Glad yet surprised, that you finally got your money back. Wonder what made the guy change his mind. Link to comment
AZhitman Posted January 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 I think he might have been a little shocked that I located as much info on him as I did... and maybe a little surprised at my persistence. Link to comment
