Need help: Fraud

[B]Here are the details. I won an auction for a JDM F20C from a guy named Spoon_EK9 on Ebay (therefore, he doesn't go on this board, I think). I wanted to have the transaction through Escrow, but he said that he had no experience with it; he insisted on money order. Alas, I sent the money order and it was then put on a "bank hold" for 25 days. After the hold cleared, he said that the engine as well as shipping information will be sent out on the 25th (last Friday). I contacted him on Saturday since I didn't receive the shipping information and he said that it was shipped that Friday by a shipping company called Tiger(????). He also said that the shipping information will be sent to me w/in 3 hours time. Now 2-3 days later I have yet to get in contact with him. No shipping information or nothing.

Also once our provincial forum is back (it's just under construction) up I'll post something up there if nothing is resolved in the next week, there are alot of people in Regina on the forum.

Keep us posted to what happens. If nothing is resolved and I go to Regina this summer (usually I do) I'll definately be willing to visit him.

The kindness of everyone on this board is unspeakable. I have never felt such friendliness and support from people that I have never met. People have been contacting me with information and even offering their services, so that this problem can be resolved. Many people do not know this, but I blew my engine by over-revving it four months ago. I have been without my car for the longest period of time and everyday it hurts not to drive it. Since I realized that my seller may default on my engine, I have nothing but sadness and pain knowing that my S is still sitting docile without its new "heart." This pain has since turned into hope and joy because of the overwelming support of this community. This forum is definitely a community like no other. I would like to thank you all. . . Thank you
. Hopefully this problem will be resolved as soon as possible.

4AM, lol . . . I try to call him every hour myself. It's weird though, I have never called a cell-phone w/o a voicemail prompter (allegedly it is a cell-phone). I'll be awaiting the info.
