I remember that guy thread he did have a very nice set of mods. I was wondering why I haven't seen or heard about his car but I guess now I know what may have happened. Hope everything works out for you man, hate to hear things like this happening.

did you pay with a CC or just directly out of your account? if with cc do a chargeback on paypal. i lucked out, he refunded my money, only $50 compared to your $600. i think nebolic was taking care of things since he lives in norcal as well. maybe pm him and see whats up.

I think his account got disabled. I cant believe paypal said there is nothing they can do. I just got an e mail from paypal saying how they upgraded scam def. As long as you didnt pass the 2 months with paypal i would try calling paypal again.

Thats sad. I hate scammers! If I was able to, I would start a scam hunters program. Have local bounty hunters go after these lowlifes and bust their @ss!
