Beware of Aaron Thornton (arsonist)
Thursday, March 09, 2006 8:36 AM
watch out for a guy on j-body that goes by the name "arsonist" his real name is Aaron Thornton. he lives in Rchmond, VA. i bought two fenders for a cav from him on 2-14-06. he cashed the money order on 2-23-06. he hasn't emailed since and has ignored my emails. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING from him. he will probably screw you. if he sends my money back to me or the fenders i will post again saying that he made it right.




I would have wrote you a poem, but I couldn't find anything that rhymed with F@#K OFF!

why dont you inform the US postal service about him? What he did was mail fraud and is a felony. You can get him in alot of trouble.

On this form, there is an option for "Failure to Provide"

Please wait 2 weeks after contacting them before contacting us. When a delivery time is not specified, a Federal Trade Commission rule mandates fulfillment within 30 days, unless you applied for first-time credit with the company.


And finally the rules by the FTC:

Here's the important bit:

Why You Should Comply with the Rule
Merchants who violate the Rule can be sued by the FTC for injunctive relief, monetary civil penalties of up to $11,000 per violation (any time during the five years preceding the filing of the complaint), and consumer redress (any time during the three years preceding the filing of the complaint). When the mails are involved, the Postal Service also has authority to take action for problems such as non-delivery. State law enforcement agencies can take action for violating state consumer protection laws.

You need to read the law. People that don't know the law are the ones that constantly get screwed by it. People who do know the law constantly use it against the ignorant. Read it here if you don't believe me.

It is mail fraud if he sent payment in the mail, and the other party never provided promised goods or services.
