Has anyone seen or heard from Maurice since 2.11.09?

He owes me two RTi70's that have never shipped and he has dropped off the face of the planet.

I paid through paypal, and have moved my dispute to a claim just tonight... They should either refund the money or get him to ship I hope.

I didn't want to bring this to light, and have held off coming up on 2 months now. If anyone knows anything about him, or a way for me to contact him, please share the info. I know hard knocks happen to people, but you have to keep your word or else all else is worthless.

Thank you.

    Linked-in account with some real names attached: http://www.linkedin.com/companies/creative-business-concepts

    They appear to have a website as well, which has some important info (read: phone number): http://www.cbconcepts.com/

    Call them up and ask to talk with HR and with luck they should point you in the right direction.

    Cool. For some reason though I think he was from Michigan or something... but it is worth a shot!

    Unfortunately no self-respecting HR would give you ant info. Could get them in very hot water. Good luck,though. I hope it all turns out well.

    When are you folks going to learn:

    Do not buy from people that are having a life changing crisis!

    It seems like every time one of these divorce/foreclosure/moving sales comes up, someone comes back a month or two later and complains about not getting their stuff. Unless you can go and get the stuff in person, its just not worth the deal. Even people with the best intentions get messed up and sidetracked when going through stuff like that.

    Ya, but I don't have a name or anything... just a screen name and I wasn't into forensics! :)

    Still no activity or word on these. Obviously, I never heard not to buy things from a distress/divorce sell... now I know.

    Just hope Paypal refunds the money and all will be fine!

    Ok...

    his number was sent my way today. I just got off the phone with him. Had about a 10 min convo, He said they are shipping tomorrow and tracking will be sent my way tomorrow via text or email.

    If they do indeed ship tomorrow, then consider this closed and the result of very bad luck happening to a guy going thru a divorce. If they don't ship, then Maurice is a top notch smooth talker and liar :D

    I am thinking it's the previous of the two mentioned, but this time tomorrow we will all know for certain.

    You're not out of the woods yet. I wouldn't count on getting them, at least not in 8/10 condition. They require a fair bit of effort to pack correctly and I doubt he has the time or money to do it right. Good luck with this.

    I thought Maurice was a solid guy... he seemed to participate in here quite a bit. so there wasn't anything to lead me to think otherwise. now I hear about this... I guess he's going through a tough time... but all anyone is asking is for him or anyone to take calls or respond to emails or PM's and let us know what's going on.

    Hope things work out for you and the speakers get sent. Have you considered telling him to just forget the deal and refund your money instead? At this point I would highly consider it. Tall heavy speakers like that are not easy to pack and ship, esp if you don't have the original boxes.
