Problems with Mike440
Not really...at least you have a paper trail. With a MO you have none. It may take a while to resolve, but I think eventually you might get your money back.
Not exactly.
When I bought parts, I sent a MO express mail with signature. That way I have a carbon copy of the money order, and proof that they received it. :evil3:
After that, it's mail fraud if they don't follow through.... :sad1:
I was supposed to pick up a 68 340 and a 70 440 from a guy in Terra Houte, IN. I found out at the last minute that he hadn't had the 440 pulled yet, but was trying to convince me to pay for everything and pick up the 340 and come back for the 440. His first excuse was that he found a Dana Axle that he just "had to have", then a couple of days later it was a "Road Runner in Michagan"... He kept pushing for me to pay for the 440, and wait for him to have it pulled. I finally told him, "If you want me to pay for it in advance, that's fine. I will go home and send you a money order registered mail with signature required. That way if you stiff me, I can prosecute you for mail fraud and you will have FEDERAL CHARGES filed against you..." :shock:
That ended the "pay me in advance" begging... :crybaby:
That was over 4 years ago, and I haven't gotten a call to come get the 440 yet.... :tool:
Funny how that works.... :D
However, this fool and his money were not soon parted.... :walk:
