First Obtaining Payment In Full ◄◄◄
Member ClHall1993. He joined the Club in October of 2016.
He needed an air cleaner complete, so I sold it to him for $5.00 plus postage ($13.90).
► I mailed it on 28 January and he received it on 30 January.
► He PM'd that he mailed a check on the 30th.
► When it had not arrived, I PM'd him on the 6th Feb and he replied on the 8th, again asking for my address, which I immediately sent that day.
► I used his regular email address to a query on the 13th. No reply.
► I sent another PM on the 18th, with another regular email. No reply.
► I discovered his home phone # in Morganton, NC, and called him on the 22nd. The person who answered said - after a moment's hesitation - that he was not Christian Hall. I did not believe him. I called his business' number (Hall Automotive) and a recording said that "the owner has not set up a voice mail at this time." However, his brief web site requests people to text or call him for service."
► I sent another regular email on the 25th. No reply.
He last visited the Club's site on the 8th and has opened neither of the PMs nor either of the regular emails.
I trusted him: How naive was moi?
CAVEAT EMPTOR!

T4WD augury?

Perhaps we need a bad trader wall of shame?

Well, the address is a house in a field with a big steel building that could be a shop - but no signs.

That is disappointing Archinstl. Sorry that happened to you. Thank you for warning the rest of us though.

At least it would be a short list. Less than $20, what a deadbeat..
