i had something like this happen to me..it was all over a mustang alum rad and an asshole in nj. well i guess the scam is to buy something from someone and wait a few day then tell the person you shit is broke. well then they pack box up and make claim. and they get claim money and your good product. well this shit bag had posted a few months earlier that he had a way to get slightly damager brand new radiators which would be the best for him to get.(i guess you need to be smart about things so someone can't do a search and find thing that incriminate you.) any wat i shipped him a brand new alum rad packed up tighter than a nuns ass.well then 3 day later the guy sends me an email saying ups damaged my rad and how does he make a claimn. i asked for pics(now my rad was in my race car when it was getting painted and it had a little orange over spray on it, also had 2 electric fans on the front) well little did he know that when ups picked it up for the claim it was sent back to me after it was inspected by ups. all the while he did not know this9 so i get it and my radiator was presto chango.. all of the sudden it was polished and the fins that were crushed in(from the 2 fans i had on it and 2 big circles were gone) i called bull shit and told him thatif he wanted any money back he was going to send my rad back then we would talk. never heard from him again. so i got a radiator and and fixed where it had a little damage at the water neck and gave it to my father. so long story short i alway take pictures of stuff before shipping due to that. there is alway a way to mark it so you know its yours if it gets broken or someone is trying to scam.. sorry for the post whore but felt that i needed to air that! don.
