Thumbs down vprs 4x4 specialist (hull)

Has any had any dealings with them .
My son bourght a sport engine off them on ebay when it arrived it had no compression in one of the cylinders ,so my son sent the engine back to be fixed , but it has come back tapping like mad .mechanic thats fitting it says some thing wrong with the cam?
my sons phoned the guy again asking basically for the money back and got told to f*** off .
I paid for the engine for him through paypal .so have started the process for getting my money back .

anybody know if there as dodgy as they seem to be .
there feedback on ebay was good .

Glad I'm not a woman performing fellatio...........
