Default please help FL owners i've been scammed!

i saw this listing and called the guy to work out a deal with him

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...TRK%3AMEWA%3AIT

so i called him with the phone number listed in the description and sent him half which was 800 for the kit. I wired the money through western union and put it under my father name and a secret question. Somehow the money has already been taken without anyform of ID and answering the secret question! and its really hard to reach this guy and as of lately western union has been no #$#&*^ help at all!!!

I told him that once i recieved the kit i would transfer the funds through his name but somehow he already got the money...

Please help!!!

Not good. NEVER use Western Union as a payment. Paypal is the best way. Sorry bro.

I bought a turbo from someone in Miami and have spent $6,000 total and my car still doesn't have a turbo on it.... He sold me a turbo with so many problems, the whole kit was a joke! Sorry that happened to you but when you send alot of money you have to look at the rating of the person as well. He just opened an account and has no feedback. Never really a good sign with high priced items... See what you can do and don't give up calling him. My sincerest appologize it happens because I know how it feels to get scammed........on a turbo........from miami.

Question

Meet the seller
Seller: milk.dud( 0 )
Member: since Aug-22-06 in United States

he's been on EBAY for 1 DAY!!!! why would you buy something like this (high dollar item) from a seller who is 1 day old with ZERO feedback

1600.00!?!?!?!?!?! you havent even paid for the AEM EMS yet at that price!!!!!!

What part of your brain told you this was a legit deal???

I am sorry to be so harsh but look at his post!!! "honda s2k turbo kit s2000 comptech supercharger VERY PRETTY CUSTOM S2K TURBO KIT VORTECH SUPERCHARGER" I know he is trying for keywords here but damn man.

This blows for you but you got to do some research and be a bit more catious.

I think you are adequeately FUBAR-d on this one

Sorry bro

Is it time for a few fellow s2k'ers to take a road trip to miami and...

I don't do big transactions like that unless I am physically going to pick up the item, good luck with resolving this.
