wow! reminds me of a Holley carburetor (66-67 Chevelle IIRC) I sold out of Hemmings in the mid 70's to some guy in TN

It was the 1st (and LAST) time someone asked for COD delivery

it was refused and I learned an expensive life lesson, cash talks, bs (and free trips) walks

He later told me he &quot;didn't have enough money&quot; to pay UPS ... duh, why did you &quot;buy&quot; it in the 1st place?

it seems like that area is ripe with scammers

Re: Bad eBay buyer. BEWARE SELLERS
 

I think it would be great if all the people that got scammed by him showed up as a group and handed this guy a good beat down! :bs:

Big 10-4 on that. They stand by the buyer every time and to he11 with the seller. You know there's a problem when a seller can no longer leave negative feedback for a buyer.

Re: Bad eBay buyer. BEWARE SELLERS
 

I say we all accumulate all the fake crap and deliver it in person. I'll bring the JH block I bought years ago. Lets negotiate a nice refund for all of us, in person!

Record it. I'll pay to watch the confrontation. Theives and crooks are the worst and have become much too commonplace.

Email sent tonight to Pryamidparts,typhoon147,atpinc and kjklein- regarding further action, if anyone or knows any that has been scammed by Buddy Hill please contact me with detailed specifics and photos, more than likely you will eventually need a notarized statement for the authorities.
Thank you

Fred,
I have responded to your e-mail.

Re: Bad eBay buyer. BEWARE SELLERS
 

i too have been scamed by buddy hill i live 25 miles from him or where he used to live. the reason you can not find a house but a swimming pool on the empty lot is because his house burnt a few years ago. i confronted him at super chevy in Memphis Tennessee about selling me a restamped block and and he was making a scene and the security came over to find out what the fuse was and i told him then the security officer told me to take it else where. then buddy just dispeared. i have a phone number but i don't know if its any good 1/731/988/6174 i heard he had moved to Nashville Tennessee . but his daughter goes to college in Nashville. by the way he got me for around 2500$

Re: Bad eBay buyer. BEWARE SELLERS
 

Any email addresses for him ?

Re: Bad eBay buyer. BEWARE SELLERS
 

I asked a buddy of mine that remembers where he was setup in years past but he didnt see him at the swap meet over the weekend.. I wonder if there is a mole or he watches this site.?.

Re: Bad eBay buyer. BEWARE SELLERS
 

i am sure he will be documented in the court records. always check the county he lived in with court records. as for scambay always watch out for parts stitcheroos repo parts in gm boxes. There are always knuckleheads. There was another guy in tennessee doing the same stuff about 5 years ago. hemi stuff.

Re: Bad eBay buyer. BEWARE SELLERS
 

I've definitely seen this guy's auctions on eBay. What a BS-er.

Has anybody else noticed that eBay has made it more difficult for you to even communicate with people about an auction? Years ago the &quot;ASK SELLER A QUESTION&quot; and the ITEM NUMBER were very large and prominent, now you have to go through several steps to get a box to pop up where you can ask a question, and the item number is so tiny and at the bottom that you can almost miss it. Like they don't want you talking to each other.

Re: Bad eBay buyer. BEWARE SELLERS
 

There are so many scammers on EBay its not funny. Buyer beware. Watch out for the obvious ones with Zero feedback. Just yesterday I came across a phony EBay ad in which a 1965 GTO resto mod was being offered. Well funny thing is I checked this car out with a buddy in Brooklyn NY last month. The ad stated the car was in North Carolina and showed the Brooklyn NY pics. The ad has since been removed. Be careful guys.

Re: Bad eBay buyer. BEWARE SELLERS
 

7-8 years ago I bought a really nice 68 GTO convertible from a very reputable car shop in the US and dealt with a great salesman. He calls me two months later to say he just saw all his old GTO pictures on Ebay , (including his dealership sign!)...and was wondering if I was re-selling the car?
I said absolutely not ,...and we were both surprised to see almost his exact same ad, except with new contact info cut and pasted in ....
Unreal what scammers can do....and now it's likely a lot harder to spot

Re: Bad eBay buyer. BEWARE SELLERS
 

Reminds me of Kurt Pomerleau from Kelowna BC. I called him out over 10 years ago after seeing pics of a 69 Z/28 that I helped restore. He posted pictures of the car here in Oklahoma, including my friends dealer sign in the back ground. Claimed the car was in Canada.

He was convicted on 17 counts of fraud, each exceeding $5000. He was arrested again last year, and waa supposed to go to trial last Nov.

I can't find any updated info after this article from May of 2016:

New Charges for Kurt Pomerleau

Re: Bad eBay buyer. BEWARE SELLERS
 

He got me a couple years back. If it was 15 to 20 years ago. He would have gotten a visit that he won't forget. To many cameras out there now and I have to much to lose now. His day will come.

I think we need a couple more boys from Brockton to pay these guys some visits... Brockton has always had a good rep for that kind of thing.
A friend of a friend just got arrested for beating a thief locally. Hopefully he gets his stuff back. I won't get into details because it's current. Unfortunately the law has to be on their side when they show up whether they want to join in on the beating or not. I hope you guys going the legal route get some good results. Good luck.

Re: Bad eBay buyer. BEWARE SELLERS
 

Just a brief update about Mr Pomerleau,...rumour has it that several years ago , one of his victims happened to be a Hells Angels biker out of Kelowna,...... After taking Mr Pomerleau for a &quot;ride with a few additional biker friends&quot; and a supposed pretty severe beating, the biker got his money back,...so force apparently does works

Re: Bad eBay buyer. BEWARE SELLERS
 

Add me to the list of Bud Hill victims. He's a real POS.

Probably about 10 years ago, he had an ebay listing with pics of a legit real (and nice) early 65 962 block. I foolishly contacted him and made a deal off eBay. When the block arrived, it was not the block in the pics, and was not even a 962 block or a 65 block! It was a 66 961 block that had had the reinforcement webs welded on the front of the block, the casting # changed, and the 6 in the casting date changed to a 5. I contacted him and raised hell and threatened to have him arrested. He denied knowledge of it being fake and said he bought it that way, but said he would send me my money back. I got several money orders for $100 to $300 here and there over many months, but never got anywhere near all my money back. Then his email and phone # suddenly changed and I could not reach him any more, and no more $ ever showed up.

I still have the block. Even though charges for the scam he pulled on me are surely barred by the Statute of Limitations, if you can find him and get him arrested and I will be happy to tote the block to TN and hand it and an affidavit to the DA to use as further evidence of Bud's pattern and practice of fraud. He belongs in jail for about 10 years without chance of parol!

Re: Bad eBay buyer. BEWARE SELLERS
 

Here is a crazy idea.....

Why don't we keep a &quot;live&quot; list of all the dirt bags out there. We can call it the &quot;Do Not Buy/Sell&quot; list. It will give all of us here at SYC a head start on someone or company that has had questionable dealings with our members.

By the looks of this long thread, we might have been able to take advantage of a heads up about this ebay wizard.

Re: Bad eBay buyer. BEWARE SELLERS
 

Great idea. This is one of the few sites I frequent that doesn't have a 'good guys and bad guys' list.

Re: Bad eBay buyer. BEWARE SELLERS
 

It amazes me that this scumbag has lasted this long without having his a$$ beat after having screwed over this many people. I hear people throw the phrase; &quot;What comes around goes around&quot; alot but, I have never known it to happen. It seems that these type of dirt bags continue to get away with murder while hard working, honest people get screwed. I hope this jackass gets what's coming to him and then some.

And what happens if you got screwed worse than Matt and Jeff from a person who frequents the site? While I think the idea has good intention, the end result is going to be nasty.

Dan

Yes, I got the screws from a POS who posts here

Re: Bad eBay buyer. BEWARE SELLERS
 

Still a much better outcome than site members continuing to get screwed by forum members. It should also deter anyone from pulling that sort of stunt going forward.
