Just to let everyone know, I saw a thread by VINCENT FILOMENO advertising an AVO exhaust manifold and wastegate for sale... After agreeing on $300 for both i sent the money the following day via online direct debit. Since then (30th June 2010), he has lied to me about the item having already been sent, then supposedly was going to get it couriered direct to me, this never happened. After taking a few more calls following these events, he has since began ignoring me.. I have tried looking him up. All i could find was 6 possibilites in VIC area, and after calling them all and making contact, one woman (obviously family of some sort) called me back on her mobile and asked more particular questions about the matter, my name, where i was from, and how much i was out of pocket. She hung up and called me back again 5 mins later, again asking for more info (as if she was relaying to someone), then just left me with..... "theres some bull**** going on here, leave it with me, i will call you back" As im all the way over in Perth, there isnt much i can do, so i ask of all my fellow VLTurbians to PM me any information about this guy that you can, it would be a great help. As ive been a loyal (but fairly quiet) member of CT for quite some time now, ive monitored alot of great comraderey in finding ppls stolen cars and other goods over the duration... It really is amazing how far this site has come, growing from the small Perth based site/club, now into a large family of guys who share not only parts and accessories, but knowledge, info and experience, which benefits anyone across the board building a ride. Well done guys! Scott [phone removed] [email removed]

get in contact with your local police station and explain the situation, it happened to me about $250, im in melbourne the guy was in qld... i provided his name (which i had from his bank details), and his number plate (i found a pic of a car he had owned on a forum) they matched the name to the number plate got his adress, police went to his house demanded my money was in my account by next week, i had my money 2 days later...

i used to work for this **** sucker. hes about to get ****ed up hard becuase i know where he lives.

Why do people do this sort of thing. Eventually it all catches up with you. For $ 300 or any sort of figure it aint worth it. Money is just pure evil and the greed factor sucks people in to wanting more. Why not go to sleep at night and wake up happy in the morning without having people and Police chasing you.
