Default MAJOR SCAM POSSIBILITY ALERT

IIGQ4U was a victim of a screen name hijacking, which in turn lead me to believe my $2XXX spent on a hardtop was stolen.

IIGQ4U however is still a credible seller, and a nice guy for not cursing me off for calling over and over at 12:30pm (he understood my apprehension)

Did you want the top shipped to the "wharehouse" or did the seller say that that was were it was going? if he said it was at the wharehouse and you just had to pick it up then dispute the charges now and hope for the best. i would assume that you have contacted IIGQ4U in regards to the matter.

i have. ok, heres the deal. i called the number over
and over
and over.

he finally picked up a bit aggervated since its 12:30pm, but i explained the situation, and we established that someone else is on his screen name... but there is nothing he can do about it since he is on vacation and has no computer.

anyway--- my order is placed. all is well, minus the person on his name.


-WHEW-

OH shit... I bought a bumper from him awhile ago and I keep hearing that "it's still coming" but it's been awhile. What should I do? He seems like a really cool guy and I have been really patient because I'm not in a hurry but I just got a little worried seeing this thread.
