Caution - Tale of a long distance slacker

So here is the screwing I just received:

Couple of weeks ago posted a “wanted” thread for a manual large sector steering box. Gentlemen responds from Ohio and he provides a phone number. We talk, chat, and he explains how his Dart was rear-ended and he is striping everything out. In one of the pictures of the box and some of the other items I see a set of A Body headers under the engine bay of the Dart and ask if they are for sale. long story short, we make a deal for the box and headers. That night he goes to Fedex, takes pictures, send pictures of tracking number and off go the items. I call Fedex he uses and confirm this later because I am a bit paranoid.

To pay him we agree on a Walmart Money gram - PITA, but it works.

Couple days later, everything is on a slow boat to my home, he calls - Do you need anything else. Well, why yes, need wiring harness, LCA’s with sway bar tabs and a sway bar for 73 Dart. Pictures, FedEx, tracking number for one box. I make three separate payments and box is in the mail, less the LCA’s.

Now his girlfriend is picking up the money and dropping the LCA’s off to ship like all the remainder of the items. I pay, things are going well and all of the sudden he stops responding. Well obviously something is up. Ask for tracking number, nothing.

First box arrives with a small sector box and headers. Hmmm Headers don’t look right - I wonder….. Yep, there not the A-Bodies, there some truck headers. OK, guess at least I received a manual box and headers.

At this point I know there is at least one more shipment I know of and a possible second with the LCA’s (maybe they shipped, he just tired of my neurotic txt, calls, etc). Second box should be Sway Bar and harness.

Second box arrives and it is small - only a harness. Hmmm, I bet I just got really screwed.

Well after waiting a week, multiple calls and now its to the forum. I deleted this PM out, so mods its in the delete area, feel free - I don’t know it or I would share. Here is what I do know, his name is:

Cory (Richard) Lane
(There was something funny on middle name, but again Walmart Security shows he had ID to pick up the cash)

900 Jefferson Ave
Chillicothe, OH 45601
Telephone 740-656-3391

His girlfriends name is
Chance Cop (Seems real, spoke with Walmart Security, provided ID when picked up the money)

Here is what I received and did not:

Received was suppose to be:
Small Sector manual box —— Large Sector Manual Box
Truck Headers — A-Body Headers
Complete Wiring harness — Wiring harness
A-Body Sway bar and all mounting hardware — NOTHING
A-Body LCA with sway bar tabs — NOTHING

I paid in full and have all the Moneygram / credit card receipts to prove this. If needed, txt with all transactions can be posted as well.

Corey - If you read this, just send me the parts, correct headers included, or all the money for parts which are not correct, less box and harness. I will keep the box and the harness, and you can send a return label for the headers. In 30 days, no label, they go on CL.

Thanks -
