Need Help! I got scammed!

[MurderedOut 10+ year member]

I got scammed on the DIYMA forum and I am seeking help from DB_DRAG_SPL and other members who might be able to find info for me.

I bought an IDMAX from lv_v on the DIYMA forum and received it with one broken tinsel lead (known problem) and the other coil reading 55ohms (not mentioned at all).

I paid him, Brian Barson (brianbarson@gmail.com) through PayPal and started a claim. Today PayPal closes the claim on me and says they only cover the shipment of the item, not problems with it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Please help, I have done the forms with IC3 and want to do anything else I can.

EDIT: I forgot to post his address:

Brian Barson

2120 America's Cup Cir.

Las Vegas, NV 89117

I agree.

See if you can get some cash back to get arecone or just get it reconed yourself. Toss woofercooker a PM pretty sure he does a lot of recones for people. Here's a link to his profile. http://www.caraudio.com/forum/member.php?u=47051

You obviously have trouble reading.

I'm not going out of my pocket to fix this, I am trying to get info so I can make him pay to fix it.

 

[audioinsanity 10+ year member]

what were you going to do with a woofer with a broken tinsle lead. not being sarcastic just curious

 

[theothermike 10+ year member]

he coulda fixed just the lead assuming that was only the problem. he saying he wasnt told the coil was fried too meaning he definately needs a recone. sometimes ur able to just repair a lead and have it up and running full force again.

I agree it was a douche thing for lv_v to do. idk what u should do but i hope it gets squared away.

I see nothing wrong with him asking for help. There are a lot of people on here that have been able to help other people, like DB Drag and some others.

There are also people over there I am sure that could help him as well, but the more help, the better. What is so wrong with that?

Hope you get it solved OP.
