The OFFICIAL TDC investigation thread.

I'm out 112 dollars for a FWI intake pipe. I filed as well.

Next time around just make your own for about $50 or $60, that's including the filter. It'll be just as good or better than any other intake.

Just to update my PP emails :P

The refund sent by Parker Tauzier (Payments@TopDeadCenterRacing.com) did not clear from the sender's bank. You have not received funds for this payment in your PayPal account.

Please contact Parker Tauzier regarding this refund.

After careful review, we have concluded our investigation of the Buyer
Complaint described below.

We have decided in your favor, however, we were unable to recover any funds
from the seller's account. As stated in the PayPal User Agreement, recovery
of funds associated with a Buyer Complaint cannot be guaranteed.

Please know that we will make our best effort to recover the funds in
question if they become available in the seller's account in the future and
will take appropriate action against the seller. Such action may include
issuing a warning, a temporary restriction, or terminating the account.
Keep in mind that PayPal uses a number of factors to determine when to take
action, including member complaints. Due to privacy laws, we cannot discuss
the details of any action taken. We hope you understand our policy and that
it assures you that you are safe using PayPal.

and finally:

Thank you for taking the time to write to us with your concerns. I am
happy to assist you further.

We appreciate the report of possible fraud with one of our
users. We will investigate the issue immediately. Please be assured, if
we do confirm the user is committing a scam or fraudulent acts, we will
take appropriate actions. Due to the privacy of our users' accounts,
these findings are not shared with the person who reports it, unless a
claim is filed.
If a seller is paid and does not ship the promised goods and the issue
cannot be resolved directly with the seller, a dispute can be opened
within 45 days of the initial payment under PayPal's Dispute Resolution
process. Please do not mail or email the dispute, as it cause's
unnecessary delays.

open a dispute with the instructions below.
1. Go to the PayPal website and log in to your account.
2. Click "Resolution Center" at the top of the page.
3. You will have the option of:
o Clicking the "Dispute a Transaction" button, or

Learn how the dispute process works, review the step-by-step tutorial in
the Resolution Center.
If the dispute is escalated to a claim within 20 days of the date the
dispute was opened, PayPal will seek to resolve the claim within 30 days
from the date the claim is filed, though such time frame can be extended
to accommodate the investigation.
