Lost money on a transaction

-
I got beat by Dan Bruley for only $39. Sent Pay pal FF, ( I know).
I actually called his number and spoke to "someone" who said they never got the money, so I'm not sending the part. I showed the PayPal receipt. He could care less and he hung up on me.
After the back and forth, I gave him a bad rating, he lied in a bad rating back to me, cursing me out.
I presented the facts to the Fabo moderator, and both ratings and post were removed.
Hmm.
 
...yet another reason why a "forum of shame" may be a good idea....but it will never happen so....
 
It's too bad this stuff happens. BTY I found PP Protection is closer to 5%. It was 3%. I give folks the option.
 
To whom do i speak to on this board to warn others about this person.

Sent money. Didnt receive parts. Not responding to emails.
There is an app now that brokers online sales now. send part somewhere, buyer sends money somewhere...when 3rd party gets both they make the final forwarding. You must sell it on that app though. Cant remember name but its advertised online. Iirc they take a cut naturally. Can always ask seller to send you a private ebay listing so you can roll the dice with ebay protections.
 
That 3rd party brokerage or escrow account was part of the very early ebay and other internet sales scams especially involving vehicles.

I am instantly leery of any ad or person that says send money to a third party, then the item will ship.

if anyone here want's to do this for complete running cars, i'm happy to help. just don't be surprised if the odometer is showing a lot of extra miles
:lol:
 
If i had a garage big enough, id start somethong like that. Probably blow up to include a bunch of insurance to cma. Shame when a FABO brother would buddy-F another.
 
This Dan Bruley has more issues than I can count. He screwed alot of people out of money and is hopefully in jail or getting help.
If you do a search of "Bruldan" it has been going on for many years.
He was even trying g to sell a convertible with NO title.

No title on old cars happens all the time. Run the vin thru the local or state police and make sure it’s not stolen, get a bill of sale and go on your merry way.

that said, has anyone notified Federal and local law enforcement about all this?
 
Yes. It will only show up in a VIN check as long as somebody reports it as stolen. Looks like he was removing stuff from his family's yard. A few members posted his antics and mug shot attached:
