Hi all,

 

Just an FYI.  About a month ago I posted an ad on parts wanted looking for an period correct radio, to which Steven Ocampo (AKA 73Tiii) responded and we agreed on a price of $525 for the radio and a nice condition center console.  I promptly paid him via Venmo and have been waiting for a the part over since.  I have been in continuous communication with him and at first  he hadn't had time to ship it, then he need time to disassemble the console for efficient shipping, then his brother shipped it with a bunch of things, then he was looking for the shipping conformation, and on and on. He can't provide a shipping receipt and refuses to refund the money.  At this point, I have no option but to conclude I have been scammed, which is so unfortunate because I have had nothing but terrific experiences on this forum with many great people.  Everyone I have dealt with prior to this was helpful, honest and positive in every sense of the word.  I even had one gentleman form Virginia meet me in Massachusetts (because he was here on business) and sell me some rear seats.  It's to bad some people can undermine the trust of an entire community.

 

Fortunate for me is that I paid via Venmo and Mr. Ocampo's information and identification is 100% verifiable via Venmo.  So now, I will have to chase him down in Court and it will cost him far more time, money, and hassle than the meager amount he collected from me.  There is still the off chance that this has been one giant series of small errors and the product will magically show up, but I doubt.  

 

Thanks all.
