Calaisturbo member: Hilux04 Trade: http://calaisturbo.com.au/showthread.php?t=163003 Comments: Basically, came from Dandenong all the way to St Albans (Sunshine avenue) with a mate to purchase the sound system in the link. I asked for his address, but he didnt want to do it at his house, instead he offered to do it at a Car wash off Sunshine Avenue, opposite Muzz Buzz. As he was helping me and a mate transfer the goods from his car to my mates, I handed him the money, and he finished up. I asked him if that is all the stuff, he replied yes. We shook hands and went our ways. Basically, We were driving back home, around 5minutes after the deal I noticed I had only the2 x speaker sets, and the sub along with the amp. But No HEAD UNIT? So I tried calling him, he wouldnt reply, sent him squilions of text messages, but no reply, untill that night he said ''he forgot his phone in his mates car''. He told me to call him later at 9 to see if he found it, in which I did, but no response. I managed to get his number plates from the video camera at this car wash. The blokes there were real helpfull, and they even offered to ''sort him out'' next time they see him. He said that he deals alot there. The owner has not called me yet. But someone else will get his back. 2 days later, he replied ''how much is postage to your area'', never asking for my address. And up untill now, no reply, not picking up his phone. Nothing. His got my cash, and my head unit. This is a warning to all not to deal with the kid. I spoke to soon when I said it was solved, infact its not. $150 may not be alot to some of you, but to someone like me who currently has no job is abit more difficult. Lesson learnt, don't trust anyone. Hilux: Quote: msg me on [phone removed] from western suburbs vic. Number plates: THW469 - Black Honda Integra

how does that work... he jump in his car or something? tried calling his number etc?

lol so you paid him for a head unit and he drove off? why didnt you chase him? wtf is wrong with some people

edit2: doesn't pay to be honest with people. it has not been solved.

spoke to soon, detailed story posted. hilux, if your reading this mate, you have no heart.

pays to check your **** first

as above

mate owns that car wash and he wont put up with people like that so lets hope this bloke fronts up and gets your stuff to you.

obviously he lives in that area, take a few days off and hang around, you already know his local car wash, sooner or later he'll pop up

is this his number? [phone removed]

nah mate, its [phone removed] unless his changed it?

try that then

Sucks learning the hard way but its a lesson you'll never forget - best of luck recovering your money or goods

*******s out there these days.. You gotta be careful, now you have learned the hard way to check the goods before handing over the money. Hope you sort him out.

Sorry, It reads as if you handed over the money, he handed over the goods (minus the headunit) and you and him both said goodbye etc. Didnt you notice you didnt have a headunit Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

maybe it was like a kmart laybuy and they were in black rubbish bags?

Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
