whoa! there's a name i haven't
heard in a while. i bought a bentley manual from some cat in florida a
couple of years ago, and asked percy if i could use his mailing address as a
kind of way-station for me since i didn't want to pay all sorts of extra fees to
have it shipped across the border. he agreed, and when i tried to get a
hold of him (via email/phone), i got nothing back from him.
until i read your email, i had forgotten
about the whole thing. i'd like to get that off him, but i doubt that i
ever will, so i'll let it go again. you should definitely take your case
up with the authorities. best of luck to ya!

Subject: Anyone know of a Percy W. Oaks
in the Buffalo NY area?
I got a nice streak going here, first the guy who tried to stiff me for
some crappy taillights (he eventually paid me back after I wrote to aol and to
the USPS), now I have a fella of questionable character who sold me a Scirocco
II dash through eBay (for $183, mind you) and which turned out to be in
horrific shape (he advertized it as in great shape; his eBay username is
"silversurfer!" --yeah, I know, why do I keep dealing with people with goofy
usernames, I am asking for trouble, stay away from those bozos, yeah, I know).
It is Percy W. Oaks, based out of Gasport NY and Lockport NY (close to
Buffalo). I exchanged a couple of emails with him, where he said he was going
to have UPS pick up the dash and he would refund my money, but he has been
ignoring me since then.
Tomorrow I am filing whatever is necessary with UPS about that noteworthy
gentleman, but it would be lovely if I could collect further dirt on him (his
rating on eBay is not that great either), so if anyone has any leads, please
let me know. (Anybody who is 6ft or above in the list near the Buffalo area
willing to go and confront that #*&#@ ? :-))
Thanks,
Elias
