Thumbs down Bad Guy - SBZRO

SBZRO posted an Authentic mazdaspeed front bumper for sale and he offered flex payment, I contacted him and we agreed that he will ship the item once the last check clears, on the several weeks to come I have sent checks in the amount of $750 out of $1000 meanwhile I sold my OEM bumper to make the last payment which I've sent on 4th of June but he didn't deposit , two months later after several PM's and all kind of excuses from SBZRO I informed him that I no longer want the item because he didn't stick to the deal and I had to buy another OEM bumper so I can drive the car. He answered my pm on 1st of August apologizing and promised to refund my money, he went silent again and I still don't have my $750!

I'm saying that I think before someone also created a thread stating SBZRO was a bad guy and scammed somebody. I did a quick search and didn't find anything, but that name sounds familiar, maybe just with a different spelling.

Sorry for the news

Yeah thats likely the same guy. His ebay account is still active (scoorch33) and has a blue RX-7 as a sig.

OP, i wouldnt freak out totally just yet, as this guy has history of being bad communicator and being slow with regards to online transactions. The ONLY reason he hasnt made good is because this deal was made outside secure channels (eg, ebay, paypal). Thats a NO NO. He knows he can take his sweet ol time and **** will be done about it. I just PM'd you some info on the guy and some other options you may have.

Is prob safe to say he has assumed a diff SN/profile here on the site and is watching this thread....that being said, SBZRO, pay up partner, its not worth getting a bad name here and on all the other forums/sites you are a part of.
