Looking to complete a trade and a sale on some items that were shipped over to him and I haven't heard from him in quite some time.
Hopefully everything is alright with him.
Has anyone heard from him lately? His last post was late July.

Ill do it on Skype myself once I find my earpiece...where ever it is.
Do you know if the items you sent have already been delivered? I've sent a few international items over the last few months and the deliveries have taken a little longer than they have in the past.
The parts have cleared customs and arrived at the local post office. They have listed the status as "contacting addressee"
That boy is REALLY up in the Great White North:

the yak used to deliver the packages there is having another calf... mail will resume soon
Still not responding.....some google searching turned up a youtube video of him getting "scalped" for charity.
seems like a stand-up guy. Hopefully nothing bad has happened to him and that is why he hasn't responded.

Nevermind.
HCloud13 says he is tweeting everyday and ignoring all of our polite attempts to contact him.
This is the message I'm sending to every single one of this FB friends,twitter followers,Blog,ect...
Hello.
This message is going out to all of Lee Slade's friends.
Please read this!
About 3 months ago Lee made a deal on the Isuzu Vehicross forms to trade some parts.
3 of us in America were to ship him quite a few Isuzu parts including side cladding,Side view mirror,ect..
In return he was to ship us a fender mirror and rain guards off his Isuzu.
The value of the parts we sent him we're about 1000$ shipping included.
He kept great communication until the parts we're shipped.
Now no one has herd from him.
I have sent him many messages but have not recieved a reply.
I believe he has scammed/Stole from us.
Unless something bad has happened to him that he is unable to send us our items then please let me know.
He also owes some of our group money for seat sliders.
If I don't get any response as to what is happening I will contact the locale authorities in his country/county/providence.
If you have a way to contact him please let him know.
Here is a link to the deal he made with our group.

Paying for items received should not be a concept too difficult to get...
Wow this makes about the third time in a very small period of time where Vehicross owners were ripped off by someone else.
My spare tire cover from the dirtbag in Reno was in May,
Makes my stomach churn :(- - what's happening to society? - - - oh wait, I better not answer that. :rollo:
That's a lot of money guys, I sure hope he makes this right for you!
Its beyond frustrating. The guy seemed to have all the right "credentials". I saw pictures of the parts that were taken recently, he has been a member since 2009, recently a site supporter, he provided his work address (google confirmed he worked there) as the shipping address and had his home address on the members map. I just dont get it. ARGH!!!!!!!:_brickwalQuote:

Perhaps we need a list to keep track of all of the people we should steer clear of.
Sorry about the total cost. Wasn't sure so I made a guess.
I'm surprised! I messaged over 30 of his friends on FB. 9 On google circle. 1o or so on twitter.
and I've only got 1 response from a guy saying "he's not his friend" lol.
I'll give it one more day. Then I'm going to start calling all his numbers including his work.
I found my mic so I can start Skype calling.
I got off work around 6pm so I'll start around 7.
He still hasn't logged on since 24 Aug. I hope he's OK.
Has he picked up the package from the post office yet?
Don't think so. I have been concerned about whether or not we were jumping the gun in our assumptions and that maybe something bad happened, but HCloud13 noticed lots of internet activity from him without any indication of anything bad.
Remind me to never piss Y'all off. Yer just a little too good at this internet tracking stuff.:)
nothing special....just using google and his name and email....
as a general rule of thumb, assume everything you say or do will be seen or heard or recorded by someone.
Assuming anything I do is worthy of hearing or recording:)
From now on people should use escrow.com for transactions, especially ones which include large $ amounts or valuable parts. The only time I wouldn't is for small transactions, but even then. I think some people have been on here so long everyone is inclined to trust them. Just my .02. Wow, I just realized that I've been on here for over 3 years. :-)
This was for a parts swap.Quote:

Turns out the rainguards broke in half while unpacking the box (no doubt they were brittle from 15 years of sun damage), the pedals came without mounting components, and the mud flaps were aftermarket. The guy was completely honest, but at the end of the day I'm out the same amount of money as if he hadn't shipped it at all.
Good luck guys, let's hope this is a big misunderstanding and/or that the guy comes to his senses and makes it right.
Oh one thing I thought might brighten your day Jon: we've discovered a new use for the rear door cargo box you built me, and it's to host picnics on the tailgate. I took the kids (4 and 2) to Chick-Fil-A last night while Mom was shopping, and I let them sit on the cargo area and eat their food off the fold down door you built. It's still working great today, and the kids think it's the coolest thing ever. I'll take a pic the next time we use it like that.
Well...time to start phase 2.
I can't believe I didn't get a response from anyone on his Facebook! I sent the same message to about 25 people.
Time to start making some phone calls...........this sucks man.

I am beginning to think something happened to lee.
I'm beginning to think this whole thing was all bull****....
Sorry...just pissed i'm out 2 side view mirrors and 100$
Took 20 days, but the parts have officially been delivered to edalseel (Lee).

he's had them over a week -_- changes nothing in his position of black out.
I completely agree. Clearly the post office was able to contact him to get payment so he must be on someones radar.
Anyone local that could just go see whats going on?
Well the phone numbers I have are no good.
Can you PM me his address so I can find the locale Authorities in his area.
I still cant get over not getting a response from any of his 30+ FB friends.
I wrote a polite email to his company basically asking to get in touch with him. I was hoping that they would let me know if something happened or if he was ok.

Pretty sure I'll here back from him soooon
Nicely done.
Well, at least he's still operating in the free world. Based on some of his tweets, I'd begun to wonder if he may have been one of the individuals detained in Russia awhile back.
http://www.cnn.com/2013/10/05/world/...nds/index.html
That would have fit like a glove based on his tweets and the way he just dropped out of communication after what seemed like a normal existence on the forum. Its in the right time frame too.
I just looked up the names. His is not listed.

I am hoping that HCloud13's latest success will continue to pan out.
I doubt anyone from Greenpeace would own a VX (nowhere near "green zone") ;)

Any response from your message?
