Does anyone know anything about Paul Hertz
selling a 442 w30 air cleaner in a scam situation

66-3X2 442

I think he was banned for scamming.

TiborVerebi

Wasn't banned properly he got me for some money just the other day
off of classic Olds advertising
That's why I was wondering if there's any help out there
to track him down for money recovery
Thanks for any help out there

Hey Tibor
This is Mike Richards. How did you pay and do you have his real name or payment name? I think he got some other guys too and he answered one of my wanted ads but I ignored him.

He was banned on Nov 22nd due to other complaints. You probably have more info on him than we do. All we have is an IP and his aol registration email address.

TiborVerebi

Thanks for the reply I had to go clear last nights snow dumping so I can get out of my driveway
it was thru pay pal and all is I have is an email address
only name given was Paul Hertz
Thanks for any help
it would be great if we could all get together whoever he scammed
track him down and get refunds

Was it a regular paypal for goods and services or a friends/family payment? If it was paid with goods/services file a claim with paypal.

TiborVerebi

no it was family and friends

oldcutlass

I wish people would quit doing the friends and family method with people they don't know.

TiborVerebi

your absolutely right
is there any chance this guy can be found
I did end up with 2 phone numbers from him
1 supposedly being his wifes number

If you search for Paul Hertz on this site, his e-mail address is public knowledge. I would never (and, I will not) attempt to assist in a discovery of a person. However, there are methods in which a person can be a sleuth. If you know how to use e-mail and you know a person's email address, you have the first piece of the puzzle to track someone down. As I said, I won't get involved in this type activity; with that said, this is common (public) knowledge (below). You have to acquire or have a little networking savvy to work your way through the maze. Once you arrive at the person's IP address, it's awfully easy to find their location. You know how to read an original e-mail header? If not, you might consider learning. Remember, IP addresses are assigned based upon geographical regions. I'll leave the rest up to others.

Thank you

We need to unban Bad Andy and deploy him and the beat down van after this guy.

Yep am not using pay pal currently, but always tried to avoid using the F & F option. The buyer has no recourse if the deal goes south. Used to explain that to them (buyers that insisted on F & F) and most of them agreed.

I always make the buyer send a USPS money order if the sale is over $100, or a check if it is smaller. If the check is no good, so what, it isn't going to break me and the USPS is supposedly good, but don't try to cash it at the post office, they won't cash their own money order.

TiborVerebi

anyone that did scammed and is still looking into it and wants any information that I might have

please feel free to reach out

Thanks

don’t use F/F with scumbags. I do toppers on this forum Only with F/F.

I cash USPS money orders at our local post office all the time... The only time I was ever refused was if there wasn't enough cash on hand, and usually that only happened if I went to early in the morning... They did tell me to come back later in the day and there would possibly be enough cash available... I am referring to $300 or less money orders....

I set my own prices, pay my promotion fees, and sell..eventually. That having to worry if my parts and business practices are legit are thrown out the window. If you’re on ebay and dealing with serious buyers that don’t get to haggle or form an opinion about you by way of their good ole boy network, you can sell parts to prospective buyers and they are protected via ebay. You’ll look up a year later with no regrets.

66-3X2 442

Yes you get protection on eBay but you have to be very careful with buyers. I've heard numerous stories about buyers will complain about the condition of a item and want a discount and threaten negative feedback. The way I handle that is I offer a full refund refund no question asked but buyer pays return shipping. I think I have had only one item returned because the buyer didn't know what he was doing.

OLE442

That's why I like to sell with USPS Money Order only! Pay Pal is to loose for me most of the time. If it's a well-known member I will PP F&F to buy but no one else! And I will never, ever sell with Pay Pal because they want bank account information to verify me......they'll never get any more info from me than they have already!

TiborVerebi

all the help for future transactions is appreciated

but this guy Paul has taken advantage of a few people

can we try to find him for all those who he scammed

Vintage Chief

The person tried scamming another site in October. I'm not sure what you'll gain by locating the person (his name most likely is NOT Paul Hertz). Sorry you had to learn via the school of hard-knocks. These scumbags are everywhere.

I didn’t realize Paul Hertz was ‘banned’, when I confirmed a payment for some bezels for my 66/442. Did the transaction through ‘Telle’ via B of A. Going to contact them to see if there is any recourse and alert them that this guy is a scam artist. Wasn’t a big loss, but still!

TiborVerebi

yeah if we get this guy that would be nice

for all of us
