Stowe, I'm sorry about that happening to your son. You did the right thing too. But when am I gonna get to check out that beautiful ride of yours. Those rims look so shiny, plus I gotta hear the Stingers......

It's the season. I have always told my kids to watch out for a deal that is "too good to be true". Yes, they grab our attention, they make something that seemed impossible suddenly possible and you stop thinking with the correct part of your brain. I would make my kids deal with the situation under normal circumstances. It's through tough times and struggles that they learn the most. Those lessons really stick with you. However, this is Christmas time and I couldn't stand to see my kids that upset either. My son is much like that also (17.5yrs old), very honest and I could see someone pulling one on him like that. I'm just glad it was only $900 and he learns this lesson at 18. It could be a lot worse. Merry Christmas. -Joe

RE: My Christmas Gloom!!

I think you guys are all missing the best part of this story though. I'm sorry your son was burnedand lessons area hard row to hoe, but the fact that mom gave her bonus to he son is the STORY here. Good job by you MOM. May you have a blessed and Merry Christmas.

Well lets just put it this way, my son had his first experience with an internet "POS" on Ebay. He got took and got took really hard. Whats sad is that my son is such an honest, hard working 18-yr that he didnt deserve that! He wanted a Supercharger for his mustang so bad that he didnt think carefully about what he was doing. I really couldnt help but feel so bad for him. And that SOB that swindled him......what goes around, come around!!!!!
Thats the short version of the story, thanks for letting me vent off!!

RE: My Christmas Gloom!!
mygt500 that was cool of you to say and youknow what I believe you would if you could because Ive really met some awesome people on this forum. Yeah we may have our share of this smart asses on here but the majority of the forum members are just great people. I think its our stangs that make us so cool!!! lol
FredTT OMG I sure hope not!!!!!!!!!! I hate to hear thishas happened to another person. The good thing is that you used your credit card, my son paid with a cash money transfer! What really sucked was when I was making a report with the Miami Dade Sheriff Department the detective told me that Miami is leading right now in fraud crime. I told her I knew we would never see the money again but I just want to get this guy so he doesnt do it again and she told me....."oh you are not the first person this guy has got and unfortunately he will bedoing this again to someone else".........just made me sick to my stomach. If you dont mind me asking, was the guy in Florida? Was this on Ebay? If it was on Ebay I would love to see the item number. Please PM me if you can. Thanks

RE: My Christmas Gloom!!
Was the cash transfer done through your bank? Did he use paypal? If so have you filed a claim with paypal's buyer protection? Do you have fraud protection from your bank? A friend of mine got screwed for 500 bucks on a video card for his PC on ebay. He called his bank and their fraud protection policy refunded all his money.
