Default User Howes124 (Stephan Howes)

I ´m putting this info as a warning to others and as a possible solution to the problem. I bought a turbo from him that i never got, he claimed it got lost (no chegue about posting), and wanted to make a refund, but i needed the turbo more (he had 2) and agreed to pay a little more so anotherone (according to him) could be sent with tracing number. Ever since there is no reply. So it turned out he is a frawd and not a trustworthy person. Is here somebody who can help with this problem?

I tried to buy some coils pack from this guy that he had put up for sale but after his one reply I never heard from him again, ive also seen a thread where he told someone he was definatly going to buy a turbo off them and never did, think he's abit of a joker and wouldnt trust him with my money, good luck to you on getting your money back mate

Good luck with this, I'm sure if there's anything that can be done it will be suggested. Could you raise a dispute through Paypal?

You agreed to pay more for another one though?

Oh and if you find him, chop his four king hands off

I'm still waiting for a Christmas present for my son I ordered on the 10th December, the couriers have a hell of a backlog due to the bad weather and private addresses always go to the bottom of the pile.

+1 on this worked for 3 leading courriers and private addresses go to the bottom as businesses make them more money and they have contracts with them

the problem is not about that, i´m still waiting some proof that it has been sent alltogether (tracing number, chegue etc). If you send me that and is the correct one, I´ll say i´m sorry. At the moment it is hard for me to believe that it has been sent.
