Dema's FS thread for reference: http://www.g20.net/forum/showthread...d-my-car-u-get-the-loot-(-40-300-turbo-parts)
I purchased hobb's old intercooler setup and a VRS downpipe from Dema and since then he's disappeared. I have not heard from him since sending him the money.
Dema said he's having issues with this bank account so in order to ship the parts, the money would have be sent Western Unioned. Being a pretty active and reputable member of G20.net and sr20forum, I told him sending the money Western Union would be no problem. He was also very communicative leading up to the sale which reassured me of his legitimacy. We spoke over the phone and exchanged text messages for a few days before me sending the money.
Friday of last week (7/27/2012), we agreed on how we were going to do the transaction. I would go to Western Union and send him the money and he would call me and get transaction code so he could pick up the money. The only issue was that his phone had broken and so he would have to use his friend's phone. Everything went smoothly. I sent the money, he called, he got the code and said he was going to use the money to get a new phone and will call me that night.
It's been five days and I have not heard from him at all. He never called me. I call his phone everyday to see if he ever got his replacement -- get voicemail everytime. I've sent him multiple PM's and have posted in his original FS thread. His last activity on G20.net and sr20forum is July 30th which was yesterday. Despite logging in, he has not responded to my PM's. He doesn't even have my address to send me the parts.
Dema, I understand you just wrecked your car and got it fixed so if you need a little bit of time to get some money together in order to ship the parts then that's fine. If this is the case you NEED to let me know. What's not fine is that you decide to disappear and avoid me. This leads me to think you're a fucking scammer.
I went out on a limb and sent you the money via Western Union because A) You're a reputable and active member on g20.net and B) I know you just wrecked your car and you said you needed the money bad.
I know you guys are going to say I'm naive for sending the money Western Union since it's basically completely unsecure. I admit that that was a huge mistake I made.
I really don't know what to do at this point. There really isn't a course of action I can take with Western Union. I do have what I believe is his home address and I also have the phone numbers of a couple of his friends whose phone he had to borrow. I have some friends and family that live local to Dema and could have them go to the address he provided me and confront him, but I really rather not take that road.
Dema if you read this, MAN UP AND LET ME KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON. You have over $500 of my money.
