If you have paid anybody for items on this forum and you did not recieve your payment, and any part of your transactions were done through the USPS (ie- mailed a check, paid with postal money order, anything in the mail) you can fill out the form linked above and send it to be investigated. **This is not for menial things, this is for serious happenings only**

Print and fill out the form and mail it to:

INSPECTION SERVICE SUPPORT GROUP
222 S RIVERSIDE PLAZA STE 1250
CHICAGO, IL 60606-6100

If they recieve your form, they will have an investigator investigate what has occured and if there is any wrong doings, they will right them.

Can I add that you can also go to your local DA's office as well as the sellers/buyers local DA's office(by phone if necessary) and file a complaint and chances are they will get involved as well. My .02, I did a bit of research regarding possibly getting took and found this way as well.

Oh sh*t, this came in just handy in time, I was going to let my wife, who is also the Asst. DA for our County to handle this. I bought some stuff from a guy, jack me around with all sorts of bullsh*ts. I just hate being a pussy over some 30 bucks items, but if I don't do this he will sell his crappy bulls to all of us on the forum.

Oh, Small Claims Court will hurt the person trying to cheat you even more. They will be fine hefty for a 10 dollars part!

I ordered a Front Bumper Cover for a 1995 Pontiac Grand Prix Special Edition and the Company sent me who knows what. I sent the VIN and Service Parts Codes but they say I didn't give them the information to order the right part. Now they only want to give me 169.00 dollars back for a 445.00 bumper. This part came across state lines by DHL shipment but was paid for using a bank debit card. Does the above suggestions apply here or is there some other method I can use.

I sent someone a complete AD22VF brake swap through USPS, and they are claiming they only received one side. The box had a damaged sticker on it when he received it and it had been opened. How would I fix this problem?
