What drives a 35+ year old Network Engineer with a family to rip off a 22 year old getting though college scrounging up money to fix up his truck?

I was ripped off by the active member 'rlith' on this board. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM HIM!

I attempted to purchase a 2nd gen center console from him in July. I paid $85 through PayPal...

When I finally realized I wasn't going to get my center console I requested my money back from him and when that was ignored I put in a PayPal complaint. It was all too late...

So to this day I send rlith a payment reminder to get my money back at least once a week along with private messages and emails... all ignored... never a response. I gave him several chances to refund my money and now I just want to make sure no one gets ripped off by him again.

A$$hole.

Check Ebay.... IF he is a buyer on ebay look up his history. Find out if he bought anything from anybody and see if they will give you his contact info... Tell them he ripped you off, most sellers are willing to help people. You can look up his ebay user account with just his Email...

This was pointed out to me by a member on BlazinLow.com...

I think you got ripped off man...:/ He won't even answer you in the forums... People like that need to be hunted down and killed...

Wow. :2far:

From BlazinLow.com...

ill give my input. on another board im on, the admin recently banned a member who ripped someone off. he didnt just do it b/c someone said they were ripped off, he actually investigated it a bit and concluded it was indeed a scam(the member was a well known regular too). i think mods and admins should consider this. there is no reason to have scammers on a respected board.

Here is the thread that I found out he was selling the console on...
