Angry Ripped Off!

WARNING TO OTHERS ABOUT THIS PERSON OR ADDRESS:

Don O'Connell
406 Congress Ave.
East Williston , NY 11596

Ripped me off for a BPM TT Turbo Back Exhaust System.

He emailed me many times a day about a BPM Turbo Back exhaust i had for sale. As soon as sent this $1000 system to this address he stopped emailing, his phone number will not answer and i was never payed. Live and learn. Any ideas about how to handle this?

My fault.

He was supposed to put it in that day. I was in a rush to get to UPS to ship it. I emailed and he was supposed to get it in that evening. So on and so on.

I gladly take matters into my own hands if it were local. I live is Mississippi, he in New York. Im going to talk to police latter this week.

Boy, that was a bonehead mistake. I am sure that you have heard that a million times. Oh well man, you live and learn.

Good luck recouping some of that loot!

You could call UPS and tell them to stop the delivery.

Is that the number he gave you?
