Pretty sure ive been scammed, what do i do?
Sooo a long time ago i picked up between 35-40 non working car amps, was told about a guy a few hours away that repairs amps, so i contacted him.
He came and picked them all up i said i only wanted about 7 or so fixed and returned and he could keep the rest, which he was more than happy with. He also took a few head units and a couple subs that needed fixin.
It was hell keeping intouch with him, after several months i got most of the amps back. however he still has 4 amps, my HU'* and a sub of mine.
If i trick him and call him from a # he doesnt recognise he answers sometimes, and gives me a lame excuse like waiting on parts, should be here tomarrow, ill call u in two days to update you. and i never hear from him until i trick him again and he gives me the same excuse.
Then today I found this!

but what r the legalities of just showing up at his place? I do have his address, but if i drive all that way can he just say no, and if cops get involved, i dont have proof, so i will have to drive back empty handed with an empty gas tank.
Im not chalking it up as a loose, he has over $1000 of my property.
he has my:
Eclipse XA1000 amp
Memphis 16 prd1000.1d
Kenwood eXcelon KAC-X1r
Alpine Type R
Cerwin Vega HED
Pioneer Premier HU
TMA 500/1
ect

Not having proof of ownership is going to be a problem. About all you can hope for is he caves and doesn't call your bluff if you say you will have to contact a lawyer.

Read thru those thread pages Steve. Sounds like he'* a busy guy and dealing dirty ever chance he gets....... Not much to do legally. We don't need to help out or give anybody proof you would do otherwise..........But it'* certainly seems your going to have to be awfully creative to get anything back. Most guys like this disappear into the woodwork and reappear in a different forum.
