Bad Guy: 06carbon8--Brian Wolfgang
Brian (06carbon8) still has a chance to rectify this situation and hopefully this thread will facilitate the right thing being done here. I will try to give short version as this is a story that needs explaining.
2/23/08--I sent Brian $ via Paypal for a front bumper. Part of the deal was he did not have to package the bumper in any way or ship it, all he was to do is drop it off at a nearby freight company (i work for this company and we have a hub near him) and they would take care of it.
Just a day or two after i sent the $ Brian was on the job (part of emergency response team) and was injured due to a car driving up and striking the one from which he was in at the time helping someone else, there is a thread dedicated to explaining the accident and can be found in search.
**EDIT: It has recently been proven that the WHOLE "accident" was a LIE fabricated by this guy in order to decieve, it is proven later on in this thread.**
It wasnt until a few days later that his fiance posted a thread here telling of this accident and that Brian was admitted to hospital (first i was made aware as well). So understandably the sending of the bumper was put off. During the following week she told me that she would go ahead and drop the bumper off due to Brian being in hospital. From the jump i was sympathetic and gave the option of just refunding the $ but she insisted he wanted to honor the agreement. She failed to drop it off on both of the occasions she said she was going to (over time frame of about week and a half). She didnt so much as call me or even email me with an explanation. Even at this point i remained sympathetic for obvious reasons and didnt press the issue. More days passed with no communication/resolution. Brian was out of the hospital i believe on 3/12 (give or take). He never said nor had i heard that he had any serious injuries rendering him unable to walk, talk, see or use his arms by this point. On like 3/14 or 1/15 Brian sends me a text message to my phone saying he would drop off the bumper by Monday (17th) or refund my $. No phone call or anything to discuss it with me, just a simple message stating monday or my $ back. I tried calling him but he didint answer. I text him back and inform him that i'd rather have the bumper and i would call ahead to make sure they were ready at the hub when he got there with the bumper. Monday comes, he doesnt send it. No call/email explaining why. A day later he sends me a PM saying he will "positively" drop it off the upcoming Friday (22nd). Friday comes, he doesnt drop it off. I tried calling him the thurs. night prior (21st), nothing, tried callin him the Friday of, nothing. So, from 2/21 to 2/25 he ignores all my calls/texts/emails/PM's until i finally filed a dispute with paypal. He THEN replies to a pm inquiring about why i filed a dispute and then he says he will pay my money back AND send the bumper. He doesnt say anything about when. Shortly thereafter he sends me another PM telling me he is broke, has no car (his is in shop gettin engine installed) and no cell phone (says him and his girl consolidated to one phone to cut costs and she has it during the day). Mind you, this is the first time he has come clean about any of his reasoning for ignoring me, not refunding my money and not droppin off the bumper. We then set up yet another time (this time on Saturday where he for sure can use his girl's car) for him to drop the bumper off. I try calling him Friday night before to verify everything and he doesnt answer. I then get a text message from him saying he will send it. I text him back telling him to just to call me so we can go over it quickly and he texts me saying he cant (although he can text just fine) and to just tell him what time to drop it off. The time of 10am is agreed upon. The hub there closes at noon. Well, i am busy on Saturday afternoon and at this point i believe this guy will finally send it. This morning i call the hub over there, "he never dropped it off". I couldnt believe it. He didnt so much as write me a text or PM letting me know that he once again he failed, no explanation, not even an excuse. To this very minute on 3/31 Brian has avoided my calls/emails/Pm's. This is the VERY short and sweet version. I have all PM's and emails from this ordeal saved and i did not post them here due to length and how embarrasing some would be for Brian. Should i need to, i will furnish them.
In short, i paid good $ for the bumper. The accident happened and i gave up ample time due to that fact. He went ahead and spent my $ for whatever reason, im sure he needed it, but he never sent my bumper. Not once throghout the whole ordeal has he even attempted to call me to work this out. He has ignored me time and time again and broke his word the same. I told him many times in emails that all he has to do is call me to resolve this and he has beglected to do so. I had no choice but to escalate the paypal dispute to a claim and list him as a bag guy. I think he is under impression that if paypal pays out the claim that we will be square and that he will just ignore me until then......i sure hope thats not how he sees it, cuz it will not end there.
Brian, when u read this, just know i gave you more than plenty warning, u know that. You can still make this right. You had no trouble spending my $, so you should honor your end and send the bumper, all u have to do is drop it off. Or, as you have had this choice from the beginning, refund my $ back to me. Please dont drag this out any longer, i understand u have had alot of misfortune in the past couple months, but it doesnt justify this.

He seemed like it to me an im sure people who have met him say the same, but in this particular case things just werent handled right and this was a last resort. I take no pleasure in listing him.

I'm currently trying to complete a transaction with 06carbon8 aka Brian. I already paid him for a rear mazdaspeed protege lip via paypal on March 9 2008. He promised to send me a tracking number, said he motor blew so he had problems and would ship it "tomorrow" (March 23rd). He sent that message through email, this forum and mazdas247.com. He never emailed me since and now he's ignoring any messages to his email, paypal, mazdas247.com account, and this forums account.
I would like to finish the transaction but it seems like I'm being ripped off. Seems like hes a pretty good guy on this forum with selling things so I'm confused about this whole situation.
If anyone is interested with any further info and I'd be glad to forward our email conversation to you. Just PM me.
If anyone knows him, please ask him to get back to me.
If the he comes through for me I'll delete this post.

I've asked him to refund my money or contact me. He hasnt done either. In a few days I will escalate my paypal complaint to a claim in an attempt to get my money back.
Goodluck Jones. Seems like hes ripping people off to fix his car.

^^Oh REALLY?? Is that why he has had my $ for over 5 weeks now, hasnt sent my bumper, and has completely ignored my calls/emails for past week AS WELL as dropdead's emails/calls???? You guys need to look at this from our point of view. What the hell do you know about a person after meeting them a couple times at a meet?? Sure he is a nice guy to your face and then he turns around and does his fellow forum bretheran like this?? NO, im sorry, if ur having problems, thats unfortunate, but its not OUR problem. All he has to do is drop the damn things off!! Its not that difficult. And the fact he has made NO attempt to respond to us or to this thread pretty much tells you he could care less about his reputation. GOOD guys dont do this kind of thing. A good guy would at least talk with you and TRY to explain/rectify the situation, and he has done neither. This is all about to go to another level here real soon. I sure hope he does the right thing.

I have ALL his info, address, phone number, ect. That coupled with the fact that i have been an investigator for the past 5 yrs (federal and private sectors), its not like he's gonna drop off the map. Is just matter of time before further actions are taken, im just hoping he comes through before such are warranted. If anyone would like that info, PM me.

I PM'd Brian to let him know that a friend of mine (also co-worker) that works out of the Newark hub has agreed to go to Brian's town and pick the bumper up for me and take it back to the Newark hub and send it to me. Of course im paying his gas $ but hes agreed to take out the time to do it. I saw that Brian was here on the forum at the time i sent it so i know he read it, but he didnt respond. It doesnt get any easier than this, all he has to do is be home at a set date and time and my guy will do all the work. If he declines to do this then i guess we can be assured that he was lying about even having this bumper, or has since sold it to someone else. He has no more excuses now that i hav someone who will pick it up, so.....

I have heard that if its not an ebay transaction and you paid straight out of your bank account (like i did) then you wont get **** back. I guess if u paid with credit card form paypal then you may be able to have ur credit card company take off the charge, i dont know. Not sure how valid this is but i guess we will find out.
....but thanks for the info.
