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!
