Our company is close to being in the same situation. I am waiting till the end of todays 3/2/10 business day for Larry Pryor to call me back and or see a refund in our bank account. We ordered what was also purported to be a new diesel engine- complete crate engine 6.0L for a International Truck VT365 . I wired funds on 2/11/10 for purchase and shipping. On 2/16/10 late - truck freight showed up and delivered a junk engine. We immediately called and called National Power Supply - Larry and Bob. Bob stated it was a mistake from their supplier, and they must have accidentally sent a "core" engine.
Then as the days went on kept getting a "not clear" answer on where is the engine we were suppose to get. Finally told us that the supplier would have "our " engine by Monday 2/22/10 and then they could ship to us by Friday 2/26/10 With no engine arriving - Called on Monday 3/1/10 and informed Larry I want our money back and they are liars. He said he would wire our funds back. As of 3/2/10 I do not have a wire YET, nor any phone calls returned.
Bob specifically committed Fraud by telling me they had 3 or 4 of these engines in the beginning. When in fact they don't or I would have rec'd one.
I am wondering if the previous consumer has pressed charges, or what in fact has happened. I am going to be calling the District Atty's office and finding out how to proceed with charges. Thank you.
