DO NOT purchase from Michael Ruddock or he might use name Adelaida Skupa from CO! I know we're Orlando DSM, but incase you see on DSM trader or whereever you buy DSM parts from. Tried to make deal w/him on a FP T28 for $450 and he never sent the item! Only form of getting a hold of him was email(mtruddock@hotmail.com), but now his storage limit is full so I can't reply.
Just watch out guys! Don't be taken for a fool like I did! There's lots of crooks out there! :skep:

Oh, thought this just got deleted from the buy/sell section all together! Just saw that it was moved!

Just lookin' out! I'm sure he'll be trying this again soon! Found out 2 others -- 1 in NY(for $450) and 1 in PA(for $200) got ripped also by this same guy! :mad:

How did you get ripped off, Jose? If you paid with credit card, then you should be able to file a claim. That's why having resources like GoodGuyBadGuy.org is a good thing, in addition to these local lists.

Also, don't mail a guy a check if the only way you have to get a hold of him is through email... :(

Umm, you can't! Where would you mail it? :lol:

Give us more details. How did you pay him? If it was paypal what was the email he used? Give me all his info you have. :devil:

Nah, I was stupid and sent the guy a money order! Did the same thing with my front mount(more money) and it worked out fine, so figured it would be the same in this case! But, things always come back to bite you in the ass I guess!
Funny thing, got an email today from him, and he's still saying that it was all a big mistake, and saying he can get my money back! :rolleyes: We'll see! He said the situation with the other guys was that his girlfriend took the money, and that HE even has a restraining order against her! We were emailing back and forth for some time before I sent the m.o. Guess you live and learn! :frust:
