AndrewReston, Seriously ill or a great big Fraud???
Well.... seems andrew is a bit of a scammer...
gave me a huge run a round as to why my parts havent been sent and then a story about going into the hospital for a surgery. So i started doing some internet searching to see if i could come up with his home number. This is what i found with a couple google searches... He gave this guy the same run arround and BS storries as he was feeding me. Now he wont answer the phone or return any of my emails.
So, it turns out Andrew has been giving the same song and dance to someone else about a year ago... this is the post i found. apearantly Andrew spends alot of time in the hospital.
now if he is Seriously ill, all i ask is for a honest true responce to whats happening with my money and or parts. here is the post from an Audi forum...

So I purchased an eboost2 off this guy last year... around summer time. Me being the nice guy i am gave the guy awhile to get everything sent out to me, waited... waited... every once in awhile i would get ahold of him and remind him.
he told me his shop workers were supposed to ship it out, they never did. SO he said he was going to take care of it.
I gave it some more time. He would respond when i would message him saying that he had it and was sorry for the inconvenience, he seemed like a nice guy. He said he was going to include some extra parts to make up for me wait.
I kept on saying "no rush, i'm patient and don't need it right now"
He was in a bad car accident with his nissan gtr and was hospitalized in december, so i gave him the benefit of the doubt on that one. talked to his g/f and she said she would see if she could help.
well, i haven't heard from him in almost a month now, i've shot him a couple text messages. and haven't heard back, so i'm starting to get a little annoyed. SO i'm coming to you guys.
what i know about him is that his name is Andrew Reston and he lives in Brampton Ontario, he owns a shop of some sort, he used to own a red 2010 gtr i believe it was with volks on it. He was t-boned so that cars gone, not sure what he drives now.
Is anyone in that area that could help me out? Or anyone who may know him? i have his cell number if someone wants to try giving him a call to set up a pick up then i'll pay you to ship it to me.
some of you may know my s/n from motorgeek/vwvortex/audiforums/ or other audi/vw forums, i've just been directed here for my problem by another geeker.
thanks for any help you can give me.

Thread:
Well i guess he has his cover story good because he uses it often. or maybe he is accident prone. I dont like smearing someones reputation so please, if you know Andrew and can resovle this, i would love for this to end.
IF ANYONE KNOWS THIS GUY PERSONALLY PLEASE CONTACT ME. I WILL OFFER A SMALL REWARD TO SOMEONE WHO CAN ACCTUALLY GET ANDREW ON THE PHONE.
Thanks Conroy

i would post up on the canadian section to get everyones attention on it,seems like a pretty decent group of guys,if this clown can afford a GTR then he can afford a personnal assistant to ship his parts off while hes all layed up in the hospital?good luck... unlike you i dont mind smearing someones name thats screwing me over and taking my hard earned money,i would post up a warning on his nearest craigslist, of his business practices

Agreed. I posted this three times in Canadian section and a mod keeps pulling it down. Seems odd to me. Got more hits in a week there than In a month in this section.

He isnt ill....he never was that I can find. He IS, however, avoiding you on purpose. Here--I did a search using his cell phone number and this is what came up:
http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-PostersOt...serIdZ10909823
He is selling those two items currently, or at least he was within the last month. He is still out there, still on the web, and still selling things to people.
I do not know who is removing your posts in the regional section, but I will do some digging into that one for you.
EDIT--I posted a thread of my own in there.....I dont think anyone will take it down this time.
