Me: Buyer
Joseph Russo: seller
Item purchased: carbon fiber door sills
I'm posting my thread right after Joseph posted his thread slamming me, for the simple reason that he can delete his thread and erase the "crime" he committed since I spilled the beans and made him look bad in his thread. I want fellow orgers to be able to do a search at any time with this guys info and have this thread pop up and see what crap he pulled with me. So moderators, I apologize in advance for a semi-duplicate thread.
My side of the story is post #5, but I copied and pasted my response below.
Here's his thread, http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=423216
Here's his original thread selling the CF door sills. http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=403583
BTW, Joseph, why are you so cheap and not a sponsor of the org? I'm going to suggest to the moderators that you are forbidden to sell on here.
Ok, here's my response.
DO NOT BUY FROM JOSEPH A. RUSSO aka STERLINGMISSILE
Well well well. Looks like I finally got your attention…… You’ve got a lot of nerve slamming me when you are the one at fault here. You beat me to the punch, I was going to start a thread about you… hell, I still am. I love how you twist the story and not tell the truth. Here’s my side of the story. I copied and pasted all the PM’s I could find. I wish I had them all, because JR had lots of excuses. They ranged from, “I’ll send them out tomorrow” to “I had problems with my secretary”, to“ I just got back from my honeymoon, now I’ll take care of it” For every 3 emails I sent him, I got one back, and it was nothing but excuses. Also, I would like to bring your attention to his email dated 6-22-05. He says, “Once I get funds, I will mail out” I paypal him the SAME day. Ha ha.
Note that at the end of the thread I linked, he threatens me and calls filing a claim against him a crime. At the time I filed the claim, I did not have the CF door sills!!!! (this was after waiting patiently for 5 weeks) JR, YOU’RE THE CRIMINAL here. You take six weeks to get me my stuff, you take forever to answer PM’s, you blow off questions in your own thread you started, and you threaten me too. You sure know what great customer service is!
When I filed a complaint and had the charges reversed and you found out about it, you sure got off your lazy a$$ and called Paypal and . When you realized you were going to lose $72, you sure acted fast, but you had no problem holding my $72 and giving $hitty customer service. You had ten days to contest the claim, and you missed the boat, so the charges were reversed and in my favor. You then had to prove they were delivered. After that, the charges were reversed again, and in Joseph’s favor. What’s funny is, that after I filed with Paypal (July 27th), almost 5 weeks after I paid him, my cf door sills magically showed up on August 4th. Coincidence, I don’t think so. JR is going to claim that he mailed them out earlier, (according to some USPS tracking number he sent me and all it said was “accepted”) but it doesn’t take 3 weeks for USPS to ship something from NY to CA. And guess what, there’s a USPS priority sticker on the box. So, I had full intentions on canceling my claim with paypal, but when I went to do it, Paypal said the case was closed and in favor of Joseph because he proved the door sills were delivered. I did nothing wrong.
As far as the money, he proved to Paypal that the item was delivered and the charges were reversed, so JR is now a LIAR too. He got his money back except for $0.61. Yes, you read it right, 61 cents. That's what must of been in his account when Paypal credited my account based on him missing his 10 day window. I can show proof if need be. Sorry, JR, but I spent the money on Excedrin, because you gave me a big freakin' headache!!
JR, you are a horrible seller, in fact, the worst one I’ve come across on this org and I’ve bought quite a few things from fellow orgers. I hope everyone learns about you and stays away.
JR, I would love to talk to your aunt, as I'm sure she works in the FBI Have her give me a call, I answer all her questions and help your case along!

Hello,
I would like to purchase your carbon fiber door sills for my 99 Max. How do I pay? Also, can you guarantee me that you will package them super duper nicely so they won't get damaged/scratched etc etc? Once I send payment, please send them to:

JR,
On 7/4/05 you said you "personally" mailed them out. So, what's going on? It's now been over 1 month since I've paid you. This is not right, and you take forever to get back to me. I want a confirmed date of when I'm going to get them, and a tracking number to prove it. Thanks. Please respond ASAP.
James
On July 22, I posted on the org and asked about my door sills. No response again. See post 25
On July 27, I couldn’t take it anymore, so I filed a complaint with Paypal…

Do not be alarmed. i sent the package. You should have it any day now. My apologies on the delay, but trust me, you will not be disappointed.
My reply dated 8-03-05 (2:44 pm)
JR,
I'M SO FREAKIN PISSED. For the Umpteenth time, where are my CF door sills? If they don't show up this week, you leave me no choice but to give you bad reputation on the org and file a claim against you. I'M starting to think you're ripping me off and you're just playing games with me.
James
His reply dated 8-13-05 (6:58 pm)
James - I am really disturbed by this. Can you send me the tracking number. You really should have gotten these by now. I will follow up at the Post Office. My apologies on this really, but it is not my fault - I will follow up immediately. Thanks.
His reply dated 8-14-05 (8:37 pm)
I just got off the phone with Paypal - I am contesting your claim. Here is the infor from the USPS website:
Label/Receipt Number: 0305 0830 0000 0129 4403
Status: Delivered
Your item was delivered at 3:29 pm on August 04, 2005 in WILDOMAR, CA 92595.
I need you to reverse the claim as you have received the merchandice. Do the right thing James and I promise that I will drop my police report against you as this is an internet crime punishable years in prison.

Guys, it gets even better. Here's more proof this guy is an idiot. More threats too.
Check out this email he sent me...........
His subject line read, "Carbon fiber door sills-round 1"
"Wanna dance buddy, let's dance. You got the merchandice and then submitted
the claim - you have no idea what you have gotten yourself into and the
people I know. The claim to PayPal is just the beginning. I really hate
getting screwed, and as a lawyer, I know how to fight back......."
Jose, why don't you check when I filed the claim and compare it to when I actually received the product. You'll see I filed the claim ~10 days before I recieved the product!
Now you're a lawyer too? And your aunt works in the FBI? What the hell are you doing selling car parts?
Sorry Jose, but you don't have a leg to stand on.
EDIT: I just found out he left me 4 negative feebacks for the same transaction!!

Yeah, this dousche bag f u c k e d me over about two years ago. He sold me sh!tty carbon fiber door sills which turned yellow.
He is a two bit f u c k t a rd who should be perma banned from the .org.
sorry to hear about your misfortune. The trolling rip off artist must have laid low for a few months/years then reappeared here to rip off a few more people.
BTW - what is his current address?
Might be time to call the local authorities.................
I kept all of my old emails and info from him. Such a POS.
