Hey, everybody. Some of you might remember me. I'm the guy who got his Talon stolen in San Diego... twice. Anyway, I just wanted to give everybody a heads up about a guy that ripped me off. It was right after the car was stolen the first time. I'd planned on buying the bare minimum number of parts to make my car driveable so that I could take it home to rebuild it. He contacted me and told me that he had what I needed. So, I decided to buy from him. Anyway, he ****ed around and didn't send the parts I needed, and eventually, as you all know, the car disappeared again. I contacted him, and told him that it was gone and that I wouldn't be needing the parts, so he agreed to give me my money back. That was nine months ago. Here I sit now, not having seen dollar one of my money.

I'm not trying to do a smear campaign here. I'm just trying to make sure that no one else gets burnt by this guy. There are a whole lot of people out there that you can buy parts from. I urge you to find someone else. I don't want anyone else to lose any of their hard-earned money. I'm an honest guy, and I can't stand to see someone take advantage of someone else. Here's all the information I have about the guy:

Name: Nate Van Vliet
Address: 3420 Quail Lake Rd Apt 350
Location: Colorado Springs CO 80906
Phone #: (719) 648-8879
email: metalball101@hotmail.com

As for a screen name, he usually goes by metalball or metalball101. He had me pay him through PayPal by sending payment to bottomlinesales@adelphia.net. You're probably thinking that I have an awful lot of information about the guy, considering that he ripped me off. People who cheat others don't usually give out a lot of information. Well, I didn't get this stuff from him. I got it from a few other people, but I was able to confirm that this was the same guy. If you still want to deal with the guy, so be it. I'm just making sure that everybody knows that he's not a good guy. It's pretty ****ty to rip off a guy that's already gotten his car jacked twice. That's just wrong. He'll get his, though... what goes around comes around.

By the way, I'm preparing a small claims case against him. I'm sure he'll dig that. It's not a huge amount of money, but it's the principal of the thing.

Thanks for reading.
Jon
