D&J Machine and Performance Engines Tuff Dawg Engines Took my money and ran Phoenix Arizona

I ordered an engine from Tuff Dawg Engines on March26, 2014.  I paid with my credit card, which was what the owner, Ben, required.I was told that it would take about 12 weeks to build the engine. When I had not heard anything by June, I contacted the company.  I was told that the engine would be shipped in about 2 weeks.  After 2 weeks, I again tried to contact Ben.  He would not answer the phone or respond to my emails.  I finally contacted him by using a friends phone.  Again I was told that he was about ready to ship the engine.  He said that he had it finished and he was running it with paper under it to make sure there were no leaks.  Again no contact from him for a week.  We have friends who live in Phoenix and they visited the shop.  They were, on one of their visits, shown a crate with an engine in it that had my name on it.  On their next visit, they were told that the engine had been shipped but that he couldn't find the shipping information.  We got the name of the shipping company.  He had NOT shipped an engine to us.  We then tried to get our money back through our credit card company.  Ben gave them the name and phone number of his credit card servicing company.  When they were contacted, we were told that they do not deal with him any more because he caused too many problems.  His shop is now CLOSED.  DO not buy an engine from him or you will lose your money.  He is a scam and a thief.
