On 6/30/08, I sent to Newflyer2008 $130 by way of MO for a case of CoolPower 30%. On 7/5/08, he received the MO and informed me that because he was then on vacation, the fuel will be shipped "next weekend."

The fuel was shipped not "next weekend" but allegedly on 7/16/08. I promptly replied and asked for the tracking number. He did not provide me with a tracking number.

On 7/26, I inquired as to the shipment and was told that the fuel was shipped USPS, parcel post, and it may take up to two (2) weeks. I replied with "No problem. Just updating."

On 8/5, I again inquired as to the fuel. Newflyer2008 offered a refund. I informed him that because it was sent parcel post, to give it few more weeks.

On 8/20, without the fuel, I requested the refund of my money. Newflyer2008 replied and asked me for my address so he can "... check into it thanks!"

I waited and on 9/4 requested the refund.

On 9/8, he replied with: "Hey man im very busy and cant anser my pm's i sent your refund off thursady."

On 9/13, after not receiving the refund, I again inquired as to it status.

On 9/15, he claimed to be "out of state" and will have his wife looking into the matter with post office.

On 9/25 he asked me if I'd received the refund. I told him no.

On 9/26, he wrote to me: "Well im going to cancel the MO and refund my money. Its going to take 60 days to refund my money. Heres what im willing to do . I will write you check for the amount and send it with a requried signiture. Im not going to send another mo and have to wait again for my as im already out almost 300 on this deal! I will be back home on wed and will send it out. IF this sounds fair to you let me."

I accepted the offer for the refund of my money by personal check. I further requested a tracking number. The Wednesday which he supposedly mailed out the refund check was October 1, 2008.

As of today, October 11th, no tracking number for the refund, no refund and no communication from Newflyer2008.

If I'm wrong in opening up this matter to the public. Please tell me and I'll delete and apology to Newflyer2008.

I will never understand a guy willing to sell his integrity off for $130. Where does that make sense???

Fly hard, have fun and take it home in one piece...

It sounds very profitable if you only have 38 cents worth of integrity to start with.

I don't believe you can legally send fuel by the USPS.

I cannot post his name and address at this time as I told him that when I take this matter from PM to the open forum that I'll not post his name and address. May be it was a mistake on my part but I've to keep the promise I made.

yea i was at the post office the other day and noticed a sign up with all the stuff you can't send and fuel is on there... you cant ship fuel unless its through something special and it would cost alot more than the fuel itself...

He obviously is not interested in making sure that you get you money back. It's been 5 months. From my experiences with situations like this, if you keep giving shady characters the benefit of the doubt then they will continue to take advantage of you. You've already made this public. Post his contact info. At best, you might get some action out of him. At worst, the rest of us here on RR will know not to deal with him.

Agreed! At this point, you don't owe him the courtesy of being polite. Doesn't seem like he really cares about being fair or following through with his word, why should you!!! 5 months is BS and he's had more excuses than a politician. Put his name up so everyone can see not to deal with this person. Definetly file a claim. Last time I checked, it would be considerd wire fraud.
Good Luck Chopper!

Part of the reasons why I promised not to publish his name and address is because of the work am in my name and home address cannot be published except for limited circumstances and only to law enforcement, unless I authorized it. That is why I told him not to publish my name and address, and in exchage, I promised to do the same with his information when I go public with this transaction. I'd hope you guys understand the position am in and my reluctant to post his name and address.

Well, looks to me like your out of your money, and maybe someone else will get cheated as well because no one knows who he is.

Sounds strange why he would answer any emails or PM if he intended to take your money. Also it seems like you could have the upper hand at approaching the local authorities with your credentials.

I understand the issue of confidentiality but your protected by state statute. Unless he is LE, then he isn't!
