Default Please help Florida owners!

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!!!

the guy joined eBay just yesterday. Why the hell would you buy something that expensive from someone with 0 feedback???? and also pay with Western Union.

What you should have done was to contact someone from the board in South FL section and asked for some help like checking out the kit.

How do you expect to buy that thing for $1600?? That should be around $3500 with all the stuff included with it. That listing is a total FAKE. I doubt that the phone number is even right.

Sorry for the loss man. I wish I could help but from my experience, I think that $800 is gone...

I would never deal with someone so new to ebay for that amount of cash, and if i were to take a chance like that.....cash/western union, give him my credit card #.......all those WOULD NEVER be an option. I would only use paypal, so far everytime someones tried to scma me with paypal, i've always gotten my money back, i will never use any other method of payment. Sorry to hear about that dude, but yea, that $800 is gone for sure. Never send cash. Sorry.

well I am glad that I did not send him any money... He was pressed to get it... I asked him to take more pics but he said that is his girlfriends camera.. So I sent a message to the winning bider to see if that person got the item yet..
