I am posting this thread for a very good friend of mine who was swindled by Leon Haupt from Placentia, CA. My friend (Walt) is an older gentleman who isn't very computer literate and has asked me to let others know BUYER BEWARE! My friend sent Leon $1400 for a fuel injection system about 5 months ago that he never received. Leon now will not answer or return any of his calls, but for some reason still has the time to post more fuel injection parts on this sites classifieds page. Here is the link to one of his ads. http://www.hoseheadsclassifieds.com/ClassifiedDetail.cfm?ClassifiedKey=84566. I have had excellent luck with the classifieds and for the most part racers are a very good and trustworthy bunch. But, its crooks like Mr. Haupt that taint that good reputation.

I wonder if he's also sending out Cruise brochures! Smile I apologize.

Sure hope this flea bag looks at the forum too and sees this and makes it right. Keep us posted on whether this helps you, he does post his phone # in his classifieds as well so maybe we should give him a call as well and let him know what we think too.

Sorry about your luck I had a bad dealing with this guy last year, trying to pass off some parts as aluminum when they were clearly steel. Heck he couldn't even say aluminum I should have known better right then. I posted a buy beware add on here and woulda thought I was the bad guy. Good luck and thanks for posting hopefully hoseheads will pull his adds but its doubt it.

Thats a fine explanation of the events, only one small part left out, he sent it back to you cause it wasn't correct, did you refund his $1400 cause I think that's probably why he's upset, cause he hasn't gotten his money back for an incorrect returned product. Give the man his money back and I'm sure it will be all good once again.

We've had bad dealings with Mr. Haupt as well. He has never made right on a bad check either. I call him every now and then and he always says he will send a check, well its been three years and I am still waiting.

I SPOKE TO WALT 5 MINUTES AGO. FIRST HE DOES'NT KNOW ANYTHING BOUT THIS . HE DID UNDERSTAND VERY WELL THAT I BOUGHT THIS INJECTION OUT FOR HIM. I TOLD HIM I WILL SELL IT PRETTY QUICK FOR WHAT HE PAID FOR IT. THIS IS AN OLDER STYLE IN EXELLENT CONDITION. HE NEVER TOLD ME HE WANT THE OLDER STYLE, THIS IS FOR RACESAVER 305.

So as you are trying to make things right with this "Walt" guy you broadcast his number for everyone to see. Also, if I am reading in to this correctly, you are making your customer wait until you re-sell the product before you give him a refund? Wow. haha

I talked to walt last nite!!!! And we talked about ousting you and the scam u run. The injection u advertised to him was supposedly "like new". The injection he recieved was some 1950s bolt in stack POS! Nothing close to what you had advertised to him.! You have had MONTHS to refund the money! He hasnt seen a dime! Walt put his trust in you and you $hit on that trust! Where's the money Leon?

Leon, if your selling things as "No returns, All Sales are Final" then don't accept the returned item, send it back to him if you truly stated that policy when you sold it to him. I've never returned something I bought and they said OK, we'll call you when this item resells and then return your money to you. I for 1 would rather have either my cash back in my hand or the part I bought in hand, even if it is incorrect, as of right now the guy paid $1400 for nothing from a guy who claims he's going to resell it and pay him back later.

Oh you wouldnt believe the hoops he made my poor friend jump through! Sending money by wire for one! Along with a sob story about hospital bills and needing money. Granted wire transfer is internet buying no no #1 but, that is desides the point. Anyone requesting payment by wire transfer for sight unseen goods is nothing but a scum bag crook and they know it!! Thats sure way of assuring that the customer cant stop payment.

Based on law if Walt had not sent the stuff back, he would have made a legal acceptance of the goods, and would have had no remedy. If the goods were unsatisfactory, that was Walt's only choice.

Dude!!! He sent u the money before you even had any injection to sell. You told him you had a like new injection will all the bells an whistles and he wouldnt be disappointed. So he sent u the money. Two weeks later! After obviously digging through dumpsters u sent him that 1950s POS! ( I saw the injection and you would be LUCKY to get $300 for it on ebay) So, No kidding he didnt want it! He has plenty of paper weights and damn sure dosent need a $1400 one!! If its so darn great how come its been 6 months and your still sitting on it!? Coarse, who knows? God forbid, but maybe some other unlucky individual is presently wondering what the hell leon just sent them and, how they are going to get their money back...

Hey Leon, you call him "no name." Well that is his last name and the car number that he drives. I take your last name is "Mr. Horespower?" Generally when people all of the sudden cry "I'll sue" they know they have been caught, they are broke and desperately need the money or both. If none of the above then you would make this deal right. You are refusing to so sounds like you have a big lump in your throat because you are nailed.
