chrislame@mchsi.com
the street doesn't even exist.
hes replied to my pm's once with this, on 12/31
"yes it is route i will go grab receipt from van in a few and get you tracking #"
since then hes been on the forums everyday that i checked, and that means he's ignored 3-4 pm's from me.
so yeah I'm pissed, when you see this Mr. "chris lame" , if you are infact legit and just lazy, give me a refund, fukk the amp I don't want it anymore.

I called that number on the invoice every day for the past 4 days, always goes to a chicks voicemail, never picked up.
you stood me up and lead me to believe something was up, so don't try to pin this on me.
U don't read your pms on a car audio forum after you sell something??? even when you've been on everyday since the 29th??????? wtf
i didnt even need the amp, just saw the deal, and jumped on it quick. i might end up unloading it on here for the same price i paid

Usually calling someone out and using the word scammer does that.
Glad this worked out. Now you gotta hope the amp was packed properly and makes it to you in one piece. You know how shipping companies like destroying ca.com boxes.
Was it insured?

I see your point, but it is only the 6th day. I would have given him at least 10 days maybe a little more with the holiday.

i paid from my BoA checking account, being a bank transaction, i didnt have much time, it would prob be too late to do a reversal if he was actually a scammer

well maby you were in the right ;)

I think the OP was led to believe there was a scam. No replies within 6 days of purchase after repeatedly sending PMs regarding the purchase, while the seller was active on a daily basis? On this forum..... yeah, i would have done exactly what he did. The guy tries calling the phone number and it isn't legit? Yeah, i would have done exactly what he did.Calling the "new" number on the invoice four different times and leading to the same "chic" voicemail? Yeah I would have done exactly that.
No offense to the seller, but this forum is full of scammers and every one of those victims, who have been scammed, should have reacted fast just like the OP.

Credit card or take your chances.
I have had some large transactions with with a few people on here and it is best to have several points of contact and verify info before you send the funds. Dont be afraid to check a ref or two.

it wouldn't let me drop the claim on monday, cuz paypal said it wasnt delivered yet, cuz usps didnt update, but it was delivered a few hours before then. I should be able to get rid of the claim now.
i tried calling you a week ago, as to find out why you escalated the dispute to a claim lololol, makes no sense for the seller to do that. :laugh:
ok i got rid of the claim that you escalated the dispute to. lolol
