Hello all, I have a serious concern and I’m not sure what to do. I have paid a forum member to build me a cylinder head, and unfortunately I think I may have been burned. It was supposed to be done in late May, I still have not received the product, and the member will not answer my emails or messages here on the forum(I see the member is frequently active). Unfortunately I was asked to send money as “Friends and family” through PayPal, I did not realize that when you do this, PayPal nor my bank are able to protect me or provide a refund or start an investigation(let this be a lesson to all of you, do not send money as friends or family, you are not covered anymore under their protection policies). I have paid over $3,000 for parts and services, a huge price, and I am truly scared I will have to eat this. The member is highly respected, and has performed services for many members on here. I see that the member is selling similar items on eBay. I do not want to give a name at this time, I want the member to see this and do the right thing by refunding my money, or sending me what I’ve paid for. I would really appreciate anyone’s input here, I do not know what to do, or what is acceptable on this forum as far as naming members who are ripping people off. Thank you all so much for your help and guidance
