I called him and left a message. So he is aware of this.

I did not speak with him.

Lets get this resolved soon.

Florida members:

I also am having money problems w/darkfx. I gave him ample opportunity to handle this amicably, but since we're over 6 months into this I'm going public.

I just posted this in the bad guys thread in the For Sale forum and it's two posts down from a similar darkfx rip-off.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

darkfx

So far has done almost exactly the same thing to me and as result has ripped me off for $90.

I sent him a check for $90 for new front brake rotors and never got the rotors.

As confirmed by this PM:

Hey Mike,

I got the check today, thanks.. I packed up the rotors, but bank of america will hold the check for 2 days to cash it since its out of state.. i will ship your rotors first thing thursday morning. thanks

Rick

Here's his initial reply to my concern:

"I am so sorry. I will go to my office and get the tracking #. Something i sold to another member got there a little late too, but he got it before you though and his came in thursday. so hopefully it will come tommoorow and i wil get the traciong # thanks,,,, sorry again"

A few weeks later and still no rotors:

"I am sorry, I am starting a claim through USPS. I can send you your money back now and i will take the refund check from USPS, you if you want to wait the 10 days, its fine too. I can assure you Im not trying to rip you off. Im a paying member of this site just like you, and i would never want to decieve anyone. Just wanted to clear that up now. im sorry, again for this whole mess.

Rick

Then about a month later:

i got the money then purchased new OEM rotors, sorry for the delay, my car blown its motor so that took alot of time

So right now darkfx (Rick) has $90 from me, at least $90 from USPS, and probably still has the original rotors. Apparently darkfx has figured some way to dupe USPS and S2ki members into allowing him to rip-off us off for twice the worth of items he may or may NOT have.

Thanks for nothing you worthless SOB, I hope your motor blows like you do.

darkfx you can expect similar posts to this showing up in every forum you post in until I get my $90 back

Rest assured the wheels are in motion. Action will be taken against bad sellers in our Forum.

DarkFX if you want to tell your side of the story, now would be a good time. Silence could get you banned.

I believe Rick is the same guy who sold me a motherboard and Sempron 3100. To date, I haven't been able to get the board to work (not even POST codes). As far as I'm concerned, I was sold a bum board, and no replies were ever made to my thread requesting help
https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=426672

So goes online sales, I suppose... but I do find it interesting to see how many are having issues getting replies back from him after the sale. Lack of product, money, etc.
