KG4MEX- roadtime1

[kl7b]

Hey Guys...
I posted a thread in a different area on this but it was suggested I post here also.
Back in September I bought an Icom 706 on ebay from seller roadtime1 . Chris Breads-KG4MEX. I promptly sent him a postal money order. He claimed he never received it and he filed a NPB alert against me! Well I requested a trace on the money order and USPS sent me a copy of the CASHED money order with Chris Breads signature on the back! I filed complaints but Chris bailed out of eBay and is "no longer a registered user".
I never did receive the 706 and CHris is $700 richer!
All my emails come back to him, no surprise.
I am still waiting for Chris Breads-KG4MEX to make good on this deal.
I have every email he wrote to me. The Money order receipt, a copy of the CASHED money order from USPS.
Be very careful when dealing with KG4MEX !!

Being a Postal Money order you should contact the Postal Inspectors office closest to you and file a complaint. Print out copies of all the emails and make a photo copy of the cashed money order, the office will most likely ask for them. You can find out the phone number for the office closest to you by calling your local Post Office.

As ironic as it seems, this is why paying with a credit-card backed source is so awesome. If anybody tries to pull a scam on you, you just chargeback and sit on it. You'll get your money back, they'll be unable to contest the chargeback because they're scammers. problem solved.

Though, thank you for posting the thread and letting us know about one more flake. sad that this hasn't been stamped out.
