I've mentioned this on this board before, but my situation hasn't changed and I'd like to see if anybody here could help out. I paid Michael Wachholz for an f-body brake kit and a set of brake pads over a year ago, and to date have only received the caliper brackets and a couple brake lines. Over time, I kept hearing excuses for the rest of the stuff not shipping, until he finally got tired of me inquiring I guess. He blocked all my emails and stopped answering the phone. Whenever I would get him on the phone, he would hang up on me as soon as he knew who was calling.

I tried working with the local law enforcement when he was still in Minnesota, but they weren't of any help. Looking at his website (www.prospeedmotorsport.com), it seems that he is now in Scottsdale, Arizona. Is there anybody that knows him and can get something done about this?

I got a judgement against him, but being in Virginia it doesn't do me much good. If anybody can do anything to either get my money or get my parts, I'd be willing to pay you something for your time.

I paid via paypal, straight out of my bank account. I learned a tough lesson...if you don't have the product in your hands within 3 weeks, seek a refund immediately. I listened to his excuses too long and paypal would not help me. Even if I had paid via a credit card, I've also learned that for the best chance of getting your money back you better file a fraud complaint within a month. By the time I realized what was going on, I was well out of the timeframe for disputes.
