I finally got scammed

5. Rod emailed my husband and told him there would be a call tag sent out.
6. We left the jet drive outside and FedEx picked it up.
7. We received our money back from Rod.

Fast forward to today, when I received a threatening call from Rod, at my place of work, saying that he has "friends in low places" and will get us.

Had the part not been damaged, it would be in our boat right now.

I explained to Rod that we did not and would not remove parts from the jet. And that we wouldn't have had time, even if we wanted to. We would never screw anybody, we don't need to.

Rod is upset because FedEx denied his claim because it was improperly packaged, which means, unfortunately, he is out the $200 for the part. I don't know how we became such terrible people. If any of you had bought a part, had it damaged in shipping, you wouldn't want to have to pay for the part either.

Oh, by the way, thanks to whomever called my husband to say to watch out for Rod because he is a "lying, cheating, piece of s***", and to tell us about this forum. By the way, Rod started bashing us before he ever contacted us.

Anybody and especially on this site can admit, that they don't like people to call them and harrass and threaten them, when they know they are not in the wrong.

Again, we are sorry to Rod that he is out the money, but it is not our fault that the part was damaged in shipping.

If any of you had bought a part, had it damaged in shipping, you wouldn't want to have to pay for the part either.

True but I don't believe any if us would have taken parts from the damaged pump before returning it.

You might want to review post # 1. Seems clear to me.

sorry to hear, that sucks

Yep. And here I was thinking I would get some shit done this afternoon.

Now, maybe not so much, lol...

This is a theft, you should do a criminal report and if you get a good cop they should do a search warrant and get your parts back even if it means taking apart his boat to get them.

That is funny!!!

............... So today the jet drive gets taken apart only to discover the shaft was replaced with a junk shaft, the impellor was replaced with a cracked impellor, one of the seals was missing, and the wear ring was missing too.

What proof is there that the internals were like that before or after the sale?

I wonder if chaz nees help putting the pump back together.

I would gladly make the drive to help a fellow boater out


Pretty fucked up.

I'd suggest sending Chaz an email directing him to this thread. If we can get him here and signed up, it'll be worth the $203.00 admission to watch him get "schooled"......

"People helping People"

C'mon hotrod, you gotta feed the pack......

Edit- Damned this thread is moving fast, the sammers are already replying. Get to work boys, new meat in the water......

Probally be the thread of the year.
