Watch out for scammer/busted bro
My origional post plus an update
whats up with the friendly auto supplier (chinaman reseller)??? saw on several boards he is either "laying low" or is starting the run around bout the money/people never receiving, etc. Thought he was legit - had lots of references and has been serving for a little while. I never ordered myself but he was supposed to be pretty good and his prices were ok (a little high) for domestic.

Just found this message on another board where this Auto salesman was a regular. It was anon of course - but says its someone known to the board who knows. well, hes the post

I have been dealing with ****** for some time now, and have built a trust with him. It wasn't until just recently that I finally received an email from him...
In short, our early presumptions of his legal matters were correct. There were multiple raids, and his partner is now deep in shit. He has since relocated, and is using his email account as little as possible. HE IS DOING THIS FOR HIS SAFETY AND OURS.
Currently he is left with very little supply and money to fund his business. He has not turned scammer, but it will be difficult to fill his orders as of now. He will do his best to fill them, so be patient. He extends his apologies for all the confusion, but these are serious matters he is currently dealing with.
Finally, we all have reason to be upset about this, but we must take a moment and put ourselves in his situation. I, for one, would turn tail and run, counting my luck all the way that it wasn't me that was raided. There's a lot of heat on him right now, so think about how that feels before you flame over and over again.
Now I dont know how legit this is but anyway, keep your heads up and make no more orders.
