For anyone who cares to listen or help... I purchased a cd changer from Jon Copenhaver about a month ago. Communication wasn't the greatest right from the start since neither he nor I frequent the board alot. But now he is just ignoring me. I have emailed his aol account, pm'ed him, and called his cell phone repeatedly with no response. I was nieve to think someone would go through the hassle of scamming me for $85 but I guess I was wrong.

So if anyone knows this guy or has dealt with him please let me know.

Here is his email address:
ChevroletMan78@aol.com

and

AOL IM:
SkreaminLS1

Also let him know that I intend to pursue this to the end no matter what the cost or hassle.

Message to LT1WanaBe:
Jon,
We may only be talking about $85 but I will not rest until you have sent me the cd chager that I paid for or return my money in full. If you think I will give up, think again. I have been MORE than fair and patient with you and will not forget about this until is it resolved!

Awesome , I was planning on doing that today, just needed the link!


Thanks for the research Frank!

I appreciate the help and concern and I'll keep you all posted.

TTT


...still no reply from Jon Copenhaver.

Guys like that make internet transactions risky. In just this past month, I have already had three transactions go wrong. Two off of ebay, and one off of these boards. It is very discouraging, enough where I probably wont be buying anything used off the internet for awhile. Luckily, the items I bought were not high in price, but it is just the principle.

 

That sucks man! Sorry to here about that and I unfortunatly know your pain .

Agreed!

Dave

 

Well he was last online on the 19th. Before that he wasn't on since 8/21. He view two out of the three of my last pm's, but no response.

Looks like I'll be filing a claim with the IFCC when I get out of work tonight.

Dave

 

PLease let me know how you make out with filing the complaint and how you went about it. I think I am heading down a similar road with a purchase off this board last week. I used paypal so hopefully they can help me out a little. grrr...

 

It's a shame that although people like JON COPENHAVER, are really a small percentage, but who likes to get ripped off? When ever I buy anything from a private person I only do it in person.

 

Yeah I hear ya. I think I will be dealing only in person from now on also.

I am still giving the guy I am dealing with the benefit of the doubt of possibly not being on line for a few days and not realizing I paid him through paypal, e-mailed him twice and PMed him here on Camaroz28.com 3 times. I could be a little naive, but I am hoping.

 

Maybe something bad happended to him.

 

I thought about that too, mainly why I haven't taken legal action against him yet. BUT I have called his cellphone and sometimes it's on while other times I go right to his voicemail, meaning his phone is off. I emailed his aol account, check the status and he deleted the email the other day. The three pm's I sent were finally viewed on the 19th...well all but one for some reason. All this with NO response back from him.

So I have concluded that he is in fact fine and has my money. Oh I also have a copy of the check I sent him w/ his signature on it.

I'm through giving this guy the benefit of the doubt!
