sbc brodex heads bought but not received
 

Hello everyone on this forum. I am trying to find out if Dempsey Smith from Macomb, Il, e-mail [email protected] is legit. I purchased a set of brodex heads in good faith from him. Paid using wal-mart money gram.He e-mailed me and said he received the money and would ship the heads the next day. Last I heard from him, no response to e-mails or phone calls. This started on sunday the 12th of march still trying to get a response. Anybody out there know him or have I just lost 715.00 hard earned dollars Thanks for any help, [email protected]

I hate to say it but you're probably out of luck. Sending money Wal-Mart money gram or Western Union is usually a red flag and very risky. They show up with ID get your money and are gone. Cause now you have nothing but a name. No address and probably a cell number no longer in use.

i'm not a scammer

By Colleen Kane | CNBC – 22 hours agotweet56EmailPrint

Specifically:

"Wire Service Scam

Wire services such as Western Union and Money Gram are a favorite with scammers because financial transactions can be conducted anonymously and the recipient doesn’t have to offer proof of any service rendered or goods exchanged in order to collect the cash. A wire service scam in auto sales involves a potential buyer receiving an invoice stating that wire services can be used to complete transactions online. The buyer is advised this is the common payment method used by the site. If the supposed car seller doesn’t recommend using a legitimate escrow service, such as Escrow.com, to complete the transaction, it’s probably best to carry on the car search elsewhere. "

The Sticky's are there to help you. Use that help. Auto buying or parts buying, there is no difference.

And if you are ticked at Beast for stating the obvious and trying to help you- Kick a note to CNBC as well.

That you used a service that scammers also use simply makes you an EXCEPTION not the norm.
