Scammed by Member Less10

On August 15th, 2009 I worked out a deal with member Less10. I was trading him brand new STRI EGT and Oil Press gauges and a used STRI DSD SLM Boost gauge (I had them listed for a total of $225 on the Market Place) + $35 (to cover shipping costs for the dash). Less10 was supposed to send me a dash pad. I sent him the $35 on google checkout on August 19th. He finally claimed to have shipped the dash pad through Grey Hound almost 2 weeks later on August 31st. The gauges I sent him arrived around August 20th. It is now October 6th and I still do not have my dash pad. I have received excuse after excuse from this guy about why it isn't here, lost in Arizona, my Mom is sick, package is too big, etc, etc.... Today I asked him to just pay me for the gauges that he has had for two months and refund the $35 I gave him for shipping for a total of $260 which was the original amount we agreed upon. He refuses saying I am out of my mind asking for that much.

Bottom line: Less10 is a liar. Do not do business with him. I have also been contacted by another member who was scammed by this guy for a stroker kit on Ebay, maybe he will share his story with Less10 as well.

Funny enough, Less10 commented on that thread if I remember correctly.

This guy is still active on the forums. He's a real piece of **** and should have been banned after scamming the guy for the stroker kit. This guy is also not worthy of an evo if he has to scam people for money and mods! Get a ***in job
