Basically, I purchased a coil spring compressor from Toolleader.com on June 2, 2009. My credit card was immediately charged! I have the receipts to prove it. Its now June 19 going on the 20th and I haven't heard from them!
No email replies- I've sent six so far:(
Their website doesn't have a contact phone number or fax. The only thing you can do is email or write . When you do that- no replies!
You can read a review of another disgruntled customer who had similar problems with his purchase!

This Jody Slabaugh of DCW Sales, Discount Computer Warehouse aka Toolleader.com, easystoresites.com, DiscountToolImporters.com, AirToolSale.com, laporteshopping.com is a FREAK, he actually had the guts to buy a .net domain of my not for profit organization and post all kinds of lies about that and also posted personal family videos of my dog and my freinds wedding, now do you want to do business with a guy like this and his crazy wife? so if you happen to get ripped off by them and write a BBB Complaint is this what they will do to you also??
Trying to prove somehow that you are the bad guy and not him..he did no business with my compnay of any kind, but we did with him trying to order electronic Headsets. Problem was he did not have the money to drop ship it seemed, his wife said so over the phone they wait for the money to come their checking account, I asled for tracking number to prove at l;east it shipped and they refused..that is when I asked them to cancel my order then and refund my money they already charged.
The refused it took over a week to get it back back, I wrote complaint about my experience, they have done this before with people read his BBB reports..
Anyway since then he has been libeling my company since..which will be dealt with as I am hiring an attorney at$200 per hour to sit in court and will do so to teach this jerk a lesson.
But do you want to do business with a guy like this??

Michael A Walker's Order Timeline
August 23, 2011 11:49am -- Placed Order #101713 for 8 PCs of Electronic Noise Protectors Total $160.94
August 23, 2011 3:01pm -- Order is pulled and packaged for shipping.
August 23, 2011 4:06pm -- Order is picked up by FedEx, tracking number 845154530730540.
August 23, 2011 7:35pm -- A phone message is left by Michael Walker at our store demanding tracking number.
August 23, 2011 10:25pm -- Order arrived at FedEx Distribution Facility
August 24, 2011 9:00am -- Store is opened and phone is ringing off the hook. Michael Walker is demanding tracking information and
threatening how dare we charge his credit card before his order shipped. Kathy reassures him his order shipped but she doesn't have the
tracking number from the warehouse yet. Michael threatened her repeatedly saying he was Military Police, had many weapons, is a
firearm instructor and has a lot of "friends". He wouldn't let her speak so she finally hung up on him and called the owner. The owner
informed her he'd have a background check done because typical customers act NOTHING like this. Something is definitely wrong here.
August 24, 10:15am -- The owner called Kathy and our Store Manager and informed them that Michael A Walker is a 15 year online
scammer and he has a 58 page report about all his scams. The owner directs the Store Manager to contact FedEx immediately and issue
a package intercept. He doesn't trust this long time scammer at all. The Store Manager contacted FedEx and they informed him they
would "try" to intercept the package once it hits the Wisconsin distribution facility but no guarantee.
August 24, 11:35am -- Michael Walker is calling non-stop with all kinds of verbal threats. He said he called the local Police on us, he's
contacted the Attorney General, he's got Air Force military friends looking for us, he's a firearms instructor and on and on. We told him
we're not taking any more of his threats or abusive treatment and to stop calling and emailing. We reconfirmed to him that his order
shipped but we weren't mentioning our intercept attempt. This is when Michael A Walker demanded an immediate refund. Of course we
couldn't do this because his order was already in transit to Wisconsin and we had no guarantee from FedEx the intercept would be
successful. That is when he threatened us with reports to RipOffReport.com and other websites
August 24, 2011 4:46pm -- We get first notice of an online tirade by Michael A Walker full of lies and libelous comments posted on another
website. We responded letting readers know about Michael's 10+ years ugly reputation of online scams.
August 25, 2011 -- Michael A Walker filed a complaint on RipOffReport.com with nothing but bad assumptions, libelous comments and lies.
We responded again letting viewers know Michael A Walker is a well know online scammer. Michael repeatedly said we needed his
money to be deposited before could ship products. Obviously that was nothing but a lie. His order shipped 3 days before his money hit
our Bank. He tried every libelous method to get us to give him a tracking number to prove we shipped his order. We would not divulge
this tracking information to anyone until the package intercept was successful and the package was being returned to our supplier.
During the course of the next few days we responded to every one of Michael's lies and misinformation. He's said repeatedly he's not this
scammer but he's a liar. He most certainly is the same scammer with the same email addresses, home addresses, telephone numbers,
same SSN number, same DOB, same wife's name, same 2 bankruptcies, same Pilot's license (expired), no military record as claimed,
many court actions being sued by previous customers and the list goes on and on. Our owner has a 58 page report he ordered and paid
for on this scammer. There is little he doesn't know about Michael Anthony Walker. Again we did not provide or post a tracking number
until we were sure the package was intercepted successfully.
August 27, 2011 8:05am -- FedEx called us and informed us the package intercept was successful. The package was taken off the local
delivery truck and will be returned back to our warehouse. The owner instructed us not to provide the tracking number to anyone until we
saw the package in transit back to our warehouse.
August 29, 2011 8:35pm -- FedEx updated the package status to say it departed the Eau Claire, WI location.
August 30, 2011 6:55am -- FedEx updated the package status to say the package departed Saint Paul, MN location and is in transit to our
warehouse in CA.
August 30, 2011 9:56am -- A full refund was issued to Michael A Walker for $160.94.
As you can see by our timeline everything we said was true. This order was shipped the same day it was placed. If the customer wasn't
such a notorious online scammer it would have been delivered in the advertised time (4 business days). NOTHING MICHAEL A WALKER
HAS SAID HAS BEEN TRUE. We didn't need his money to deposit in our Bank before we could afford to ship his order. His order was
PICKED UP by FedEx 4 hours after he placed his order! We didn't give him the tracking number because we didn't trust him and although
it cost us hours of time, a blemish to our online reputation and about $30 in freight we'd rather lose that money than be added to the long
list of people ripped off by Michael A Walker.
What we've seen with Michael A Walker is what we've come to expect from online scammers. They've ripped so many people off they
actually fear every person they do business with. They're paranoid they're going to get taken like they've done to so many others. This
Michael Anthony Walker character is about the worst we've seen. He's got a plethora of bad information all over the web but yet he wields
a sharp tongue and libelous words like he's got nothing to fear and is an honest consumer / business man. He has to be the most ignorant
con-man we've come across in a long time. To that end; we've already started a campaign to shut this loud mouth up. He's blemished our
online reputation with all his lies but his damage is minimal in comparison to what he's about to experience against his latest online scam
www.personalprotectionspecialties.com. Our owner will dominate this scammer in every search engine and social networking medium.
Anyone doing even a simple search will soon find this scammer's atrocious reputation for ripping people off. Our owner literally has a book
on this scammer and he's publishing it until this guy gets offline and quits scamming people. He's messed with the wrong business this
time and our owner will make him pay for every lie he's posted about our business on here. This isn't an empty threat. Soon anyone
searching for any of Mike's online scams will know exactly who they're dealing with.
This is our last comment about this fraudulent claim on www.ripoffreport.com. All the rest of our talk will be in actions exposing this
scammer for what and who he is. We did nothing wrong with this transaction other than protect ourselves from this notorious scammer
and he's tarnished our online reputation. Hell pay dearly for this mistake.
RipOffReport.com has 23 individual complaints listed about this scammer yet they allow him to still post and tarnish reputable businesses
with his lies.
http://www.ripoffreport.com/directory/Vdo-specialties.aspx
This is completely irresponsible on their part. They are said to protect consumers by exposing scammers but they allow these scammers
to attack legitimate businesses in return. What a terrible way to conduct themselves. Well take this game to a level Michael Walker has
never experienced and will soon regret. We're done talking, this transaction is over and Michael Anthony Walker your name, your wife's
name and your online businesses are going up in lights very soon. We're going to make you famous all over the web.
Kind regards,
