On June 18th I shipped out my 99 TJ soft top to Scott Fuerniss in Freemont, CA. I screwed up and the auction said the sale included door surrounds when it was supposed to say does not. No biggie I came up with a set of door surrounds here and sent them out to him. About 2 weeks after my door surrounds got there this dickhead decided he would charge the whole thing back to me through Paypal. Paypal has already said I will most likely win the case, but there is that chance I won't. Scott has had my top since June 25th and never once did he send me an email saying there was ANYTHING wrong with the top other than I had forgotten the door surrounds. It seems to me if someone waited two weeks after getting the top and then requested the door surrounds the top was fine.

Well, after doing some research on Scott I found his other website of www.tjlocker.com and low and behold there is a see my Ebay sales link there. Wow, a set of door surrounds for $175 pops right up. This asshole bought parts through one Ebay account and is selling them on another Ebay account it seems. He is a young kid I found out so that explains some. He must think he is above the law even though the Freemont police department said I most likely have a good case against him. I just have to wait for the outcome of the disputes.

I think it is a real shame that someone that calls himself a Jeeper or even an offroader would do this to another person. This punk kid has no integrity whatsoever. I wish I was closer to Freemont, I would drive over and kick the crap out of him like his parents should have. I know there are several people on this board that are listed in the same wheeling group he is in (Ftroop or something like that). All I really want is my money back (including the $150 in shipping) or my top and surrounds back, in the condition they left here in. The header was not broken, there were no tears and no rips anywhere in it bud. A few scratches on the windows were the only problem with the top and it had a little red dirt on it from the ONE time it ever went out to Gilmer. If you guys know this kid please knock him around a little to get some sense in him. I will go to every length there is to reclaim my property or my money. He thinks I am just a pissed off guy, but he has no clue. I am so tired of dealing with scammers and thieves like this. I will not stop until I get him arrested.

This is the last time I had it installed on my Jeep back in February. It has spent almost its whole life hanging on the wall in my garage, that is why I sold it. I just never used it and it was a hassle getting around it.

Some good news, Ebay has at last banned his second username he was using to scam sellers with. So hopefully that gets my money back at some point and I can buy the stuff I wanted for the Jeep.

Thanks Sherpa, his name is Scott Fuerniss and he lives in Freemont, CA. He is listed on the Ftroop page still, but several members I have contacted aren't there anymore or don't know him. He finally sent over a picture that didn't look like my top, if mine got that damaged in shipping then he should have tried to claim insurance as I paid a TON of money to have the UPS store package it and it had some insurance on it.

Dude...that is some crap. I hope you get your funds back. Ebay is kind of a joke about feedback and all that. This is a perfect example of that. He had two accounts and am sure was doing this to more than one person. I hope you get your goods or funds back. Dont worrie about getting that Bitch back, Karma will get him :D

Paypal has all but said I will get my money back at this point. They are having a hard time determining that the top he is showing pics of is the one I had on my Jeep so legally at this point they can't have him send it back. I just want my $$ and he will get his in the end.

Sorry about the mispelling of Fremont. :) Us Texans aren't known for our spelling and grammar. LOL

Well, after 28 days of bullshit Paypal finally agreed with me that this kid is a total scammer. I now have my $$ back which is nice, but it makes you really weary of sending any other parts off. Thanks to those that have helped out on this, it is really appreciated.

What a punk. I checked his site. He has his Ebay Feedback marked Private so you can't see any of his transactions, ect... He has a lot of OEM tops ect... for sale. I wonder how many other folks he has dooped.

First why would anyone buy something from someone they don't know with out feedback, that is the only way e-bay works. There are LOTS of scammers on e-bay, and I have been ripped off from a different e-bay seller, never again.

As for Scott, (AKA TacoScott, aka tacoj-7, aka TJLocker, aka xj90tj01) most the stuff he is selling came off of boards that people were giving away or from friends. I think he spends most of his time trying to get free or really cheep jeep stuff to sell) Some of the crap he is selling was mine! Crap I gave to him, he is now selling, I will never give him anything for free again!

But as for kicking his ass, he only has the use of one arm, and is mentaly challanged. I just can't beat up a retard, no matter how big an asshole he is.

You can get stuff from him here:
http://stores.ebay.com/TJLocker-com_W0QQssPageNameZl2QQtZkm

Or you can buy his mom and dads boat:
http://boats.tjlocker.com/

or check out his cool Jeep that he is selling:
http://www.tjlocker.com/

He runs about 4 or 5 of them Yahoo groups to get free stuff to sell on his e-bay store here is a few of them:

http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/jeepwranglertj2/
http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/northcalicherokeewranglercj/


Just because someone has a jeep does not mean they are good people. Oh and he still lives with his mom and dad, so maybe call them and get them to ground him?

He marked the feedback private after I was helping his auctions along. There were several folks that went through similar situations as I did with him. I am just glad to be done with it and at least have my $$ back. I needed it for setting up my D44. :)
