Hey everyone. I hope I can get some direction from some informed
guys on what to do with my dilemma. I've been in the process of building my Mach up for some time now. Almost ONE YEAR ago I began trying to locate a trans to hold the power. At that time, I was working at a performance shop in nj and an aquaintance said he had a lead on a trans. This guy was frequently at the shop and had given me no reason not to trust him to this point.
So it begins. He tells me someone he knows has the trans, and he calls right in front of me an finds out the cost. 1200 bucks, which I feel is more than fair. He says we just need to western union the cash and he'll ship the trans. I give him the cash, and he (as far as I know) sends it and gets things rolling. A few weeks later, there's been a "shipping issue", and it's gonna take more time. Then there's another issue, and another and another. Eventually he says forget the trans, I'll pay you back and that's that.
As you mightve guessed, it's been excuse after excuse for a solid year now and I'm still without the money. I've repeatedly asked for reciepts for the western union transaction, asked for the guys adress, etc. He claims he's going to "take care" of that guy himself. He's kind of the type of guy that if I push too hard, I could see him destroying
my property or acting violent toward myself.
So I feel extremely hopeless in the situation. No proof, no idea what angle to try... Is there anything I CAN do? Or do I cut ties, and cut the losses?
Thanks,
Evan
