has anybody purchased parts from a guy who goes by the name of William Coleman before, and if so did u recieve it? i need to know this, b/c i purchased a 87 tecate 4 powervalve 295 big bore motor from him... i paid $350 to him, and he supposedly sent out the motor 4 mondays ago... being almost 4 weeks ago. he is located in MS and i'm in CT so its not that long of a shipment, so i should have had it long ago, even my UPS man has confirmed that! somebody else on another forum told me i got ripped off, and that he has done it to people on this forum before. his e-mail is HoodRich04@aol.com, and like i said, his name is William Coleman! can anybody please help me out? i'm 16 years old(i can't belive he'd rip someone off my age!!!), and that motor was going to be for a project quad, seeing as though my old 250x motor is prctically dead and won't turn over, so i need it asap!! please give me any information you can! thanks everybody!

Do a internet search and find his phone number. Call him and tell him you are a minor and that you may come visit him and fly off the handle. Juveniles just get a slap on the wrist the first time from the police.

No really give him a call. That is a lot of BS. He should at least have a tracking number for you if he actually mailed you anything. You can also have the local police in his town pay him a visit. A lot of police deptment have a guy that deals with just internet stuff.

250xRKrider,

Call Louie at GotGear MotorSports in Ridgeland, MS

They are the only Kawasaki dealer in that area. Louie is the Parts Manager there and explain to him your story. He will listen and is a straight forward guy. He never forgets a name or face. He will tell you whether or not this Coleman guy is a real person or not......considering this guy actually bought parts for the Tecate at some point. He would remember someone owning a Tecate.

How did you pay? Did you use a check, money order or something else? There might be a way to track it. If you paid with a check, has it been cashed? If so, where?
