Hello. I just purchased Tein HA Coilover Suspension from rominl, and the agreed upon price was $600.00/shipped. I sent him payment via a USPS Money Order. After he received payment, He sent me a UPS Ground tracking number for my suspension that he was to send to me that I paid for. However, today I received the "package" and it was nothing but an empty bubble mailer with nothing in it. Could someone PLEASE contact Henry aka. rominl and find out from him what is going on, why he shipped me an empty bubble mailer, and why the suspension that I paid for wasn't shipped to me. I sent him the funds up front because he seems to have a VERY good reputation on this board, as well as the fact that he seems to be a moderator here as well. Could someone PLEASE help me figure out exactly what is going on. In his emails to me after the bubble mailer was shipped, he wrote to me as if he had sent me the suspension, although I now know that wasn't the case. Sincerely, Shawn

shawn, i got your pm and replied it. i toally have no idea what's going on at all @_@ i sold my HA a while ago way back in may this year and i sold it to someone locally in LA who picked it up from my wife directly. i never sold my HA and send it out using UPS though. we definitely need to figure out what's going on, this does not sound good at all.

I would also suggest that you edit these posts unless you dont get it resolved. This has got to be some sort of mixup. No need to ruin the guys reputation unless you have concrete proof.

I'm sorry to say but you have the wrong person hdsr09. It appears that you may have been scammed by someone. Henry's kit has been sold for a long time and whomever you have been in contact with is obviously not him. I would advise you take action immediately against the person you sent the money order to by filing a fraud complaint to the address you sent it to. Either your local PD or the one local to the address you mailed to will handle it.

Again, you are accusing the wrong person.

Ok. Thanx for the clarification. I paid the scam artist $600.00 via a USPS Money Order made out to "Henry Chan". I also sent it to a residential address, so obviously he lives there or someone there received it for him. For those of you who know, what would be trhe best and most effective method of getting my money back? I don't want to go a route that will result in me getting nothing back. What steps should I take? How should I involve the Post Office, if at all? I was thinking about bringing a couple of friends who are quite persuasive and just driving to the address I mailed the Money Order to in California. I live in Las Vegas, so it would not be too much of an ordeal. Anybody been through this before that can point me in the right direction? Any and All help/info would be GREATLY appreciated. Sorry for the post Henry... Shawn

OOps, me and henry double posted

I wanted to mention that USPS money orders are fraud protected and if you file a fraud complaint the US marshal will show up on your door if it is above $500.00 They are the safest MO's you can use. By sending the money order through USPS it is mail fraud, which is a felony. also the MO is protected against fraud by the US mail fraud act.


eitherway, you should be ok. just get to the post office and do the paper work.

So what steps should I go through? This guy was pretty brave AND smart... He gave me a real name to make the money order out to, he gave an address to receive it at, and he even emailed me a pic of used Tein's when I was asking him about them!

Anyway, how is the MO protected by the US Mail Fraud Act? In what ways is it protected? Do I file a fraud complaint at my local post office? Do I just deal with the post office, or do I involve any other people/authorities? I haven't really dealt with blatant fraud like this before, and I have heard most claims such as this end up at a dead end... I would like to go through the necessary channels to avoid ending up at a dead end with this and the guy getting away clean... Shawn

Shawn,

How did this guy initially contact you? Besides the email, did he ever send you a PM online?

Also (as you already know) our Henry (Rominl)'s last name is not Chan.
