Buyers Beware! RC Lover Scammed me
Just wanted to give people the heads up on RC Lover. Bought 2 cases of sidewinder fuel from him he had posted here. Paid him 45.00 hazmat shipping on top of the 100.00 for the fuel. After weeks gone by and no fuel and plenty reasons why I filed PP claim. He finally shipped it and I was waiting it's arrival. Didn't show up although it was in town. Closed PP claim. Went to the post office to pick up the box and found out there was 27.00 postage due. Wasn't going to send it back and be out everything so I paid it. Got home and 3 quarts are also missing! He said he would send a refund but that's been over a week now. Called but now I get the voice mail and he refused PP request for money I sent him. He had good feedback but something happened. Be cautious in dealing with him. His name is Abdul Ali Muhammad and lives in Raleigh, NC. Will be pursuing this further since I have his addy on the shipping label.

open another claim on paypal, for $27+ whatever the extra shipping + the cost of the missing fuel. If paypal does not resolve the matter then call your creditcard company and cancel the transaction, they would refund your money back in the account and paypal would make damn sure to get their money from that bozo.

Thanks for the heads up on the shipping info. But it's my works address so it should be ok. I have things shipped to my work for that reason. I'm working with PP now and also contacted the Attorney Generals office and local authorities to deal with this. It's not a bunch of money but it's the principle of it all.

Okay good. It did look like a work address 
Paypal I think will not cover situations UNLESS they happen through eBay. There have been a lot of stupid people like this guy (seller, not you 2fst2c
) who rip people off and paypal has to resolve the issue.
I'd like to think this guy has some personal problems going on, but even so I wish he'd just contact you and say that there is something up. I'd hate to see a guy with a good reputation to go down the tubes cause he is being irresponsible with business.

2fst,
I'm sorry to hear that. I thought you had this fuel thing resolved. I thought I saw rclover's posts here. I'll let you know if I see anything recent.

what a bummer ...unfortunately ,paypal will not refund your $$ unless he has $$ in his account or you bought the stuff from him on ebay ...i just got scammed on another forum for $200 & only got $17 back because that was all he had in his account ...
its just getting worse & worse everyday with scammers & scum bags .....
i wish you the best & hope you get this resolved .
