Well, I hate to say this, but it looks like I got ripped off! About 4 months ago, I placed a "wanted Ad" for a set of oem shocks and received a reply from a character named Frank Spano. This guy wanted $220.00 for a set of oem shocks, which he claimed to have only 3K miles. Well, not thinking twice, since I have had great experience doing business with my fellow NSX'rs on this forum, I sent him the money and when I received the package, I was totally shocked to see that there were only 3 shocks! Not only that, the shocks looked like crap. There was no way that these shocks only had 3K miles on them. I immediately contacted this dude and asked him what was going on. He told me, "maybe one of them fell out". So, I asked him to please contact FedEx and file a claim. A whole month went bye and nothing happened. So, I decided to contact FedEx myself to find out what the status was of the investigation and was shocked to find out that this guy didn't even file a claim! So, after several attempts to get a hold of him, I contact Mr. Spano and he just played dumb. I realized that this guy didn't want to help me. So, I took it upon myself and filed a claim with FedEx. As anyone of you here knows, getting a claim payed out is such a pain in the ass! I did all of the research and leg work and about 1 1/2 months later I was informed that the claim was accepted. So, just when I thought that everything was ok, I waited and waited for my check to arrive, but still no check. So, after about 30 phone calls, I was able to finally get a hold of Mr. Spano and asked him what was going on. He claimed to know nothing! I called FedEx to see what the hang-up was and they told me that they had sent out payment for my claim to Mr. Spano (since he was the shipper-Stupid FedEx policy). I immediately attempted to call Mr. Spano and couldn't get a hold of him. About 2 weeks later, I tried him again from a payphone and guess what, he finally picked up. Of course he was shocked to learn that it was me. I asked him what was he trying to pull??? He started to stutter and didn't know what to tell me. He just said, "I didn't get any check, I didn't get any check!". I told him that not only was payment issued in his name over 5 weeks ago, FedEx's records showed that had already cashed to dam check!!!!!! After that, we got cut off and I have never been able to get a hold of this crook!
