Caution - Tale of a long distance slacker

Gentlemen,
Respectfully, there are a lot of generalities on what "to and not to do" and I am very appreciative of that and think these are good rules of thumb. As an adult, I realized the risk I took. Bottom line is this person is a fraud and has unethical behaviors and the focus should be how to minimize this for the next person.

I am not going to get my parts or the $150 - However as a group with can learn and protect ourselves for future.

I agree "As always in life: Caveat Emptor" (Hemioutlaw).
