This is a warning to anyone who has sold or may sell anything to akinswonder aka David John from Trenton, NJ, also known as 325liv3 (BFC profile) on bimmerforums.
On August 12th, 2011, David contacted me about purchasing a set of S50 cams that I was selling. I responded immediately with a description and shipped price to his location (33 Pershing Ave Trenton, NJ). He paypaled me the requested amount on August 15th @ 11:50pm. I shipped them via UPS Ground on August 16th, 2011 and updated him and paypal with the tracking info and they were delivered on August 17th.
Fast Forward to Monday, September 5th. I get back from Vermont that night and check my email, only to find that a payment reversal was issued on Saturday September 5th for the transaction with David. I respond to paypal with the appropriate info (tracking info, etc.) and send him a PM immediately asking what is going on. No response.
Needless to say, my PP account is frozen and I'm none too happy. I haven't heard one word and he hasn't made any contact with me since I sent the cams, hasn't logged in here since 8/23, and was last logged into BFC on 9/5. Also, he posted the intake S50 cam for sale here as well as BFC on 8/17, the day he received them.
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe someone hacked his PP account, but the lack of communication is disturbing and I always follow up with people if there is an issue. I will rescind this post if everything gets straightened out, but this is whats happened so far and hope I can reach some resolution.
