Paypal refunded my money, still haven't heard a peep from "rhinopower" aka Ryan Oliver. Buy parts at your own risk.

Why Isn't This Prick in Jail

This prick scammed me and numerous others out of money two years ago .
He had a 5 speed gearbox and axles for sale and had pictures etc.
Saw him on the boards here and sent deposit until I could pickup.
Wanted Money Order first flag.
Disappeared with money and now I see him posting again. *** can't admin have him banned.
Just google Percy Oakes scammed , buffalo NY.

All you needed to do is spam this thread with the correct info.

I quickly looked at this thread, realized it's the same scammer and just posted a reply.

Yea, I agree he should be banned.

Well i also see Prothe is back on ebay selling car parts. Bad vendors will prob always exist. Stick with well known and highly rated vendors. Google them before doing business.

I Bought from : K_Harley
Date of Transaction: 4/7/16
Feedback: Negative
Comments: Purchased/paid for a short shifter on 4/7/16, was told it would ship out that weekend. Did not receive confirmation of shipping, sent PM on here, it was ignored (he was active several times that week, including one time I saw his status saying he was in private messaging)

I called his shop a week after it was supposed to have shipped, and he gave me some excuses "It was in his other car" "Forgot it at work" "bubble wrapped and ready to go" and he said it would ship out the following weekend. I did not receive confirmation the following weekend (which I specifically asked for since he was kind of dodging me)

Called him several times at the beginning of this week, and left voicemails/e-mails/PM's and never received a reply until I started threatening to get paypal and TDIclub administration involved.

Overall, slow shipping, which isn't the end of the world, but extremely unprofessional how he ignored PM's and voicemails for over a week. I know people get busy, but everyone has 5 minutes during the day to send a text.

sellers beware. even if you send customers good working parts, they can file a chargeback and they KEEP the part and KEEP your money.
