[alfa] Defrauded on "parting out 1976 spider"?

[Kevin Trent <trentkc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Back in V10#334, (9/17/04) the post below was made.  I responded and 
entered into a dialogue for purchase of the drivetrain.  The individual has 
posted at least two other Digest advertisements  offering parts from this 
car.  After many delays I have now received a email indicating the email 
address has "failed".  I think I've been defrauded of the payment I've sent 
for the drivetrain and shipping.

If anyone else has had experience with this individual please contact me 
OFF DIGEST.  If you want more info, contact me OFF DIGEST.  I do not want 
to make this a public flogging.  Perhaps this is all just a coincidence and 
the parts are really on the way (after a month) and the email bounce was 
just a temporary accident.  I've been trying to give the seller every 
benefit of doubt.  But I'm thinking that there may be some other suckers 
out there like me.  This is the first time I've had an internet deal go 
south, if any of you have advice on dealing with this kind of fraud I'd be 
interested in hearing about recourse..OFF DIGEST.

"I am parting out a 1976 spider. I am in Central Mass., and I will ship. It 
has
60k total and 20k since a rebuild with 10:1 pistons. The nose(not the fenders)
are good and the seats are decent(a small tear on the drivers seat). The 
wheels
and tires are solid but need a respray. I will send pics upon request"

Thanks, KCT, Powell, Tennessee.
