I also have the manuals for the 1958 to 1962 Injections, and also the 63-65 Injections.

Also have the Holley & Rochester Carbs used on Vettes, Transmission Manuals.

Heck what do you guys need?

Anyone here please feel free to PM me anytime if there is something you need info for.

If I have it...... its on the house!

I don't even have a car with a carb, I just thought I'd rub it in a little.

Thanks though!

All joking aside, I'm thinking that if he is not just making this story up, and truly believes it..

He has malware already that he got somewhere else, and he will get warning messages now and then until he pays them to remove it, or he figures out it's a scam and removes it himself.

I had malware once years ago that I couldn't remove, but turned it off in the startup menu so never saw it again.

you could always mail him a PDF on a CD (or have one of us do it for you). and once sent, no more orders from him.

I have had people in the past that were computer challenged that could not figure out how to download, or install adobe, so sent them a CD.

It doesn't happen often, but you can tell when they are being truthful and you can't help but feel sorry for them.

Send him a refund that contains a virus, so he gets what he is accusing you of. This should make him happy.

I have never had anyone complain about that ever! this guy is a first.


Since you asked.

My Site.
Carburetor-Manual.com

I'm not trying to promote any business here with you guys.

Anyone here I have always sent stuff to for free when asked, or I see a need.



What could he do? file a claim at Paypal, maybe get his money back, not likely as they do not give refunds on digital items.

Possibly he could make negative comments on a forum somewhere, other than that... nothing that I can think of.

I 14, I wish the hell I knew of your operation there some months ago....I odered a DVD/CD of an 01 Ford Focus svc manual....off ebay....only 20 bux or so, but it's SO unfriendly to find WTF I need on it, I almost wish I paid 100 bux for the damn hard copy.....

I gotta try about 20 attempts on various shit to pull up much of anything.....what I really want is a complete wiring diagram with parts locations/computer locations in the vehicle.....as you know, modern cars are a bitch to fix for some silly reasons having to do with planned destruction.....

same thing for a 96 Chebby Silverado P/U...extended cab with all the bells and whistles....shit I"d just love to find the ****ing Nader beepers to cut the bells of that bastard.....annoying CRAP....

I just opened the file. No problem.

Racist!

Dear XXXXX,

I do not have any money so am sending you this drawing I did of a spider instead. I value the drawing at $7.99 so trust that this settles the matter.
Regards, Tim.

If you give him a refund, he will see it as you admitting you gave him the virus, then he will seek compensation for that. It will never end. I would just ignore him at this point. I'm sure he has others he is working similar scams on. He will seek out those who comply with him in any way and go after them.

[Blue 92]

Tell him you'll be happy to refund his money as soon as he returns the virus laden PDF so you can review it.

...

Work puter here has up to date McAfee protection. I opened the file without warnings. Downloaded the file to desktop and scanned it... "Nothing Found". We don't have free versions of any programs.

What I did not do is try opening it from the desktop and that may be where he got the warning?

Thanks for downloading, there is no virus..

It makes no difference if its opened or not, the guy just made this up to try to get the money back.



I knew a guy years ago that use to call all the 1-800 numbers on cans, and cartons of about anything to complain about things he made up.

I think he told Campbells Soup he found a fly in it, stupid stuff like that...

It was like a hobby to him.

Most places just give in and send coupons for free replacements in ten fold to save the argument.



I don't want to be taken by some scammer just because he makes threats.

Years ago I had an uncle who did that. He would write letters to companies. It was kind of a hobby for him. He used to talk about all the free stuff or great coupons he got as a result

You have a cool site. How did you acquire all that? Is it from years of collecting or did you have to buy it all? I've always wondered how guys gets all those manuals.

[Kerrmudgeon]

I'd say screw him Tim. No matter what business you're in you will meet assholes like this looking for a free ride.

That Y2K guy seems to have the correct answer...
You may have to respond to a PayPal inquiry, but digital shit isn't refundable.
If he contests the charge on his credit card and lies that the product was never delivered, that may be a different story though.
What a douche bag.
