The OFFICIAL TDC investigation thread.

[GeddyLee]

I am going to Sticky this thread so that it does not get lost in the shuffle.

Hopefully this will help anyone wronged by him.

I do ask that everyone that posts in here, please keep things as civil as possible. Do not point fingers at each other. The person we should be pointing fingers at is TDC.

Thanks for your understanding!

Some of you here need to stop being so naive. Whatever excuses he gives is pure BS. He took you guys for a run and you guys called him out on his bluff. Keep the pressure on him, and don't let up. Even if you all get your product back, he might try to get onto some other forum and screw others over.

He never came back on here to apologize and explain his supposed issue. So all these Pm's or paypal issues is all BS. He could have refunded all your payments but he chose not too.

Agreed. I don't plan on letting this go. I really don't believe a word this guy says, but regardless, I sent him my address anyways. If he ships it that's great and all, albeit very late. TDC said he would be "in contact" so we'll see. Its 5:00pm and I haven't gotten any tracking info so I am not holding my breath.

[Going Too Phast]

He is still lying. Here is my exchange with him in PMs.

could you give me your shipping address for the item that you ordered from me several weeks ago? We do not have anything on file for you.

Due to the amount of time that has past without response I already bought the item elsewhere. So I really just need a refund of the $140 at this point.

Unfortunatly paypal has instructed me to send the item that you purchased. Due to the fraud complaint that you made with paypal i'm only able to follow by the guidlines that they allow me to.


If you could please send me your address or else respond to paypal with the information and they will foward it to me.

I have received no word from paypal. The dispute over the transaction was already decided in my favor and the result was that paypal tried to refund my money but couldn't because you had drained the account. Paypal's last word was that any action they would take would involve getting the money back from you so that they can refund me period. There was no talk from paypal about getting the merchandise I originally paid for anymore, it is just getting the refund. Lets just cut the BS now. I'm glad you are finally showing back up and I'm hoping you are actually going to get this resolved. I tried to be patient and I couldn't get any word from you for over a month. Refund my money like you are supposed to do, and I'll talk to paypal if they really are wanting you to ship out the merchandise like you claim. I'm sure if I tell them you have refunded my money and that everything between us is resolved they will drop any fraud charges against you. If you refund the money I am happy to do that.

Ok, Look i'm not going to argue with you. You can have the product you ordered. And i'm going to need your address. And i'm not going to be asking you again.

I have no intention to argue either. You are trying to dictate the terms now and refuse to give me any options. My confidence in you is nil at this point. I'm not interested in taking any more chances by giving you more opportunities to pull shenanigans on me. I've lost a lot of time dealing with all of this BS having to go to paypal and the police. You had weeks to let me know what was going on or ship out what I paid for and chose not to. I've gone through enough now and I'm not taking anymore BS from you. I'll give you two options: (1) pay me back $140 through paypal or (2) I'm happy to let the Sheriff deal with you.

Your choice.

The whole paypal story is BS. He is still lying and I'm not trusting him at all anymore.

[Sheepdog]

Very nice Phast. I'm glad to see you standing your ground. I like how in his last post he acts like he actually has some kind of leverage against you

I almost ordered an intake off of him... glad I waited a while...

[aligater]

Here are more demands from a fraud,

TDC
Could we have your mailing address for the FMHE. There was no address provided to us on the Paypal payment

ALIGATER
Please send detailed pictures of the actual item you intend to send me. Do not send the generic pus as used in the original sale thread. Then I will send the address to you. ASAP please

TDC
If you would like the product that you ordered I’m asking you to simply send me your address. If you are not willing to do so I will be letting paypal know the decision you have come to

ALIGATER
First send pic's. I want the part and only wish for you to act like the bussiness person you potrayed yourself as. If you would like to finish the transaction that you failed to deliver on than you will send pic's so that I have something to compare the part to or to prove what it is/was that I had order to be acurate and indeed what I originally ordered. I was told to get details from Officer Harlowe, because if this continues he wants to be sure that we have the information needed to proceed.

And yes I do want the part, even over 5 weeks later, so please send the pic's so that I can finally recieve the part you promised me, this is by no means an unresonable request, unless you plan to deceive all us again

[intrigue98]

I never received no such PMs nor e-mails through paypal from TDC. For that matter, when paypal "tried" to refund me before, they closed my claim because there were no such funds available even though my claim was decided in my favor. Now, I just checked and my claim says: "
After careful consideration, we're unable to decide this claim in your favor at this time." Anyone else with this comment in their paypal claim???


So I do not understand why me (or others who havent chimed in yet) have not heard from TDC. I have not been on this post in quite some time bc I took this as a loss. Now that I am seeing him respond, I will do my part to take further action: contacting the sheriff and PMing TDC.

[JJ91284]

I am not naive. I am just stating what was said to me in the first contact he has made since this mess. Also you have not lost anything to him and had no useful information on the subject, so don't post in this thread. This thread is the one we are trying to keep free from all the bs and just have information for those looking for it.

True, but my brother was scammed in his zx2 community, and the guy played his cards exactly like TDC did. Some of you will get some items in hopes that your withdraw your complaint, or show that he is complying. The ones that won't get their product will be screwed.

[intrigue98]

Please UPDATE: Filed IC3 Form, October 4, 2009
Emailed Sgt. Harlowe with my attached IC3 form

Would it be possible for an ADMIN to this site send an e-mail out to those affected by TDC. Maybe we can get more involvement from others to file the IC3 form and e-mail the sheriff. Just a suggestion.

Thanks,

Max

I've emailed the Sargent yet I've received no contact from TDC.

The best part of this whole situation is: If Parker is telling the truth about being locked out of paypal, why would he offer the parts to people on the forums? The only reason is because he knows for certain that they paid for the part because the purchase started through this forum. My purchase started in email and I've yet to receive any email stating he'd like to follow through with this transaction. This leads me to believe, he thinks he can attempt to satisfy the "more important" ones, or perhaps let the wrong people get a hold of that information.

Honestly, its all up in the air now. We have no way of knowing who he really is, what/who he's associated with, or if he even has a history of scamming people.

Now I'm free to say what I wish so long as I'm not defaming Parker. As I see it, I've made no assumptions but clearly stated that we honestly have no clue if parker is even a real person. Parker could simply be a cover for a scam artist. And the possiblities roll on and on so lets stay focused on whats BS and what we know and keep them separated.

[Liquifire]

DNA........please remove me from the list. I am not owed anything by TDC racing. I had done business with him in July, but not for the amount listed, and he did ship everything that he was supposed to. In the page and post number, Gary had money owed to him, it had nothing due to me. Please correct and remove me from the list. I really hope that all of you people have filed with their local PD and don't accept his shipping stuff out delay tactic. You need to get and keep as much pressure on him as possible from a legal standpoint.

Should be in the paypal I sent, Also this was for a NIB green aeroforce interceptor scangauge. I would like detailed pictures of the actual item (new in box green aeroforce interceptor) before i resend you my address. Again, it should be available to you in your paypal account.

[aligater]

And another email from TDC, but still refuses to send a pic of such said part.
Sorry if I don't want to be scammed again, how hard is it to send a pic anyway? come on lets be reasonable TDC, your bad, not mine.

anyone think this is to much to ask after 5 weeks of waiting for the part, finding out we were all scammed and now trying to get his ass out of the fire?

latest email

TDC
Sorry, If you can not simply send me your address. Then there is nothing more I can do for you at this time. I will be sure to let the proper people know the situation and that you are not willing to cooperate. If you do decide to provide me with your address then I will be glad to ship your item out as soon as I hear back.

sure you will, just to prove you sent something but no proof as to what you will send in advance, funny how you want to cover your ass so bad but not really willing to make up for the BS you started.

[garyd02gtp]

This will be an interesting week- seeing who, or if, we receive our stuff...I am expecting mine should be 2-3 days shipping from GA, we shall see...........

Will it be USPS, UPS, FedEx....???? Waiting not so patiently...............

[Going Too Phast]

I just got off the phone with the paypal claims dept and I was told that if in fact paypal is working with him (she refused to say one way or another) that they would have told him to resolve the disputes and that it is up to us the buyers to decide how we want it resolved with either a refund or the product if you want to take a chance on it. So if anyone else is sick of his crap and wants their money refunded like I do, don't take any BS from him that paypal only wants him to ship out the stuff. She also mentioned the possibility that he could just send out junk in order to procure a tracking number to clear himself. So watch out guys.

True, but my brother was scammed in his zx2 community, and the guy played his cards exactly like TDC did. Some of you will get some items in hopes that your withdraw your complaint, or show that he is complying. The ones that won't get their product will be screwed.

Thanks for posting this. I have a feeling this is exactly what he is doing. He knew very well how to play paypal so I wouldn't take any more chances with him. I am happy to let the police handle this clown unless I get a refund.

[04DetroitLS]

He's currently online.
I would much rather get the part i ordered than a refund, but i also do not want junk/used/nonworking stuff sent to my house either, just so he can make good with paypal...I rodered a NIB Aeroforce......

to those who have recieved their stuff, was it as described in the threads? ie ChrisB

[Going Too Phast]

A little more of my fun exchanges with TDC for your enjoyment. After claiming he suddenly found my address:

And if I refuse delivery as instructed by paypal, you are still screwed. Have fun.

Hmmm...No, Actually you would then be screwed. Because you not only be out the money that you sent us. But you would also be out the gauge that you just REFUSED!

Have fun!

Go ahead and try it. I got off the phone with Paypal a few hours ago and they told me to refuse any shipment and that I have the option of choosing if I want a refund or if I want any alleged product to resolve the dispute. You the one with all the evidence stacked against you. I don't think you realize how bad your position is. If you want to play this game go for it. I am quite comfortable with my case against you.

Again, have fun.

Here is a little more. His response gives you some insight into what kind of a guy it is we are dealing with.

Still listening to Paypal huh? Shame on you. But then again we all know how much they have helped you so far right?

The only reason I talked to Paypal was to establish that you are in fact lying. Mission accomplished. I guess you didn't figure out that I was referencing the criminal case against you in my last PM. This is just more fodder against you. Unless you want to refund my money, don't bother trying to contact me again. I've wasted enough time on your BS. The gears of the criminal investigation against you are turning and I'll just let it continue. Good luck.

Say hello to Sgt. Harlowe for me.

[DnaProdigy]

I would be careful about giving out your addresses.

I have utilized PayPal numerous times so therefore i am familiar with the ins and outs of it. The Primary way for PayPal to settle a dispute is with a tracking number. It is possible that TDC is just getting your address to send you something (not your item). Then he provides the tracking number to PayPal. If the destination address is the same as the one that paid for the item then you, the buyer, are at more of a loss. At that point he could claim he sent your item and you could claim he didn't. Basically your words against his. If he does not provide a tracking number for an item that was supposed to be sent out he is automatically in the accountability spotlight instead of both of you.

On the other hand, because of the influx of complaints PayPal would most likely side with you, the buyer.

I would talk to the Sgt and see what he recommends BEFORE contacting or replying to TDC.

[SlowM90]

I know this is for the people who got scammed..but wanted to let you know if you havent noticed...He has went and deleted ALL of his post.

[TheOtherNick]

I sent him my address I figure I am pretty much ****ed either way, if I get my gauge great if not **** it.
