Hi,

So, I guess this makes three for me . aaron_bc is an absolute liar, cheater and obviously at this point a SCAMMER!. I would suggest that IF anyone knows this member, they NEVER deal with him. If you do know him personally by chance, I'd appreciate it if you could help me sort this situation out.


Basically, I met Aaron because he was on here looking to purchase a KM/H instrument cluster. I had one available since another member wrongfully sold me a KM/H cluster instead of a MP/H that I asked for . So, in an effort to at least come out even on the transaction, I was willing to trade Aaron my known working condition KM/H cluster for his MP/H cluster that he "claimed" he had.


He asked me to ship to Blaine, WA since the shipping fees would be cheaper. I told him that I wanted him to send me his cluster first, since I trust myself, and don't particularly trust everyone I meet online. I wish I would've stuck to my gut instinct on this one, but I didn't. Reason being...Aaron wanted another part off me and after sending him pictures/details he ended up sending me the payment for that part. Because of that, I believed Aaron to be a somewhat reputable person. I decided I would ship out my cluster first...since he said this was his sole means of transportation and couldn't afford to have it down for too long.


Unfortunately, for me, I agreed. Anyways, it's been several months since that time and Aaron has stopped responding to my PM's or other messages. Up until the end of July/Early August he was still telling me that he either planned to ship or eventually started to completely lie and mention that he had already sent it out. I repeatedly asked for tracking at which point Aaron had stopped responding. He hasn't been online for 15 or so days and used to visit just about every day prior to that. I suspect he's on here by a different name and I intend to figure out whether that is in fact true.


I wanted to put this information up there for two reasons:


1-So, that you NEVER have to go through the bullshit I'm having to deal with because I decided to partake in a transaction with this low-life member.


2- So, that *IF* there's an off-chance that anyone I've dealt with in the past located near this member in British Columbia, Canada knows him or can provide me information on him, I can try to get this matter resolved.



Thanks in advance and screw the scammers!

Oh, and if it's necessary to show my PM's...I still have them saved.

This is the thread where I first initiated contact with him:


https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-rx-7-1993-2002-parts-99/shifter-panel-radiator-pfc-holder-847024/



As you can see he was both asking for the cluster trade and wanted to purchase the shifter console piece. He paid me outright for the shifter piece, but I've yet to receive any cluster.

I would like to provide an update:

Aaron has contacted me today. I won't go further into this at the moment, but he has mentioned that he will be shipping out my part, I believe tomorrow. I will update this thread once I receiving a tracking number and I will close this thread once I've received the part.


Thanks!,

Thanks for the support everyone...including other members and the moderators! I just received the package yesterday from Aaron. I wanted to let everyone know. I plan on testing it in the next day or so, but I do appreciate Aaron following through with everything he has been telling me lately. Once I confirm the condition, I'll retract all my statements.

Case Closed!


Aaron has made things right with me and in the end he was a good guy. I wish he had just communicated with me to let me know the situation as I feel that is ESSENTIAL once money/product has been exchanged. I dislike creating these threads as much as the other person probably dislikes having them created.


To everyone else: Thanks for your assistance in this matter...I do very much appreciate it!



Take care!,

Of course Riz. Things are settled but Aaron still made a mistake. Communication is a big part of a transaction. I'm glad things worked out for ya bud.
