Another Deal Gone Bad. Watch Out For "Simba"

Purchased a throttle body from him before Thanksgiving.
Paid immediately with Paypal.
He emailed saying he got the money and TB would ship the next.

I have emailed him several time since and I still haven't gotten the TB or a refund.
Now he doesn't even respond to my emails or PMs.

So just a warning to people that plan to do deals with him. Better do C.O.D.

Luckly I only got took for $20.

I know... Problem was he strung me along saying he forgot to ship it and it would ship next week, then after Christmas, then it was to late. It was a $20 learning experience for me... Just don't want anyone else to get taken for more.

Guys name is Dustin Sutton...
I believe he lives in S. Carolina.

He has a rearend up for sale right now: Link

I see he has done some other deals. Not sure how they turned out. I just know he took my little $20 and sent nothing but excuses in return...
