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!

Try calling this dept. I hope it helps. BTW, 516 is the area code.
Also get all your receipts and evidence of communication and transaction with the buyer.
Did you try to do a search on this person's name if he is real?
Also post his phone number at least I hope you have that.
Good luck
