Default How do I warn people
How do I warn members of this forum about a new member that is trying to sell a lot of used tires. That the person should be avoided. I bought a matching pair of rears with less than 10,000 miles on them and "never any burn outs", just to get a pair of miss matched tires. one with about 5/32 tread and the other with about 2/32 and it's all chuncked up. After several email attempts and no respone I have giving up.But I would like to let others no of his business practices

Just post a thread in the appropriate For Sale forum IMO.

Sounds like the idiot on Fleabay that sells misleading tires too. His tread depths never match what he advertises.

Just don't buy anything here without pictures; especially items that can wear out.

Sounds like fraud. You have his name and address right? Maybe small claims court? After all, this is America...

Personally, I avoid any and all "new members" in the For Sale section.

Go to the specific offending Avatar post and click the red triangle under it. That alerts the moderator to your concerns with your statement of the problem.
