Yes, I realize I probably don't have any but I'm hoping y'alls distaste for thieves  is great enough you'll help out.

I have a WTB ad on craigslist  looking for 1- 20" ford factory rim for an f350 so I can use it for a spare.
I was contacted by an individual  from out of state  starting he had what i was looking for and he knows how hard it is to find just a single rim since most are takeoffs and sold as a set.  A price was agreed upon with shipping and payment was sent PayPal friends and family.  Yup, my bad and i know i will never see the money again. The seller has quit all communication and wont answer texts or phone calls.
I figured the least I could do is make his life hell and blow up his phone and email with so many calls that either he send me back my funds  (which I doubt) or he has to change his phone number and email.

Help if you can, flame if you want.  He dangled the hook and swallowed it line and sinker.
Here is the information I was given from him.

267 905 6166
Name is Dale Bice
[email protected]

Tomorrow when I ship it out I will send you a tracking number. Name of my shop is
L&A Auto
8140 Bustleton Ave
Phila, PA 19152

Yes I googled the shop and called there. No Dale or so they say.
Yup, I'm an idiot.

Dang, sorry to hear that. Never Paypal anyone on Craigslist. That is a pretty common scam there.

And I knew that.  This guy was pretty slick and .....well.....I was an idiot.

On a side note, I hope he like the emails for transvestite porn and the democratic LGBT  caucus  I signed him up for.

I'll check my inventory of strange parts and see if I have a 20" factory ford rim. I seem to recall one. Remind me in a week or so, out of town.

Update 17" aluminum  not sure if it will do you any good  - found it at my folks place. Pm me you cell so we can confirm it's what you need. My cell pics as requested too big for arf and I'm too lazy to resize

Thanks bud.  Truck already had an 18" spare under it.  I just had some tires I pulled off the factory 20" rims that I wanted to use as spares, hence the need for a 20" wheel.
Thanks for looking though.

No prob hombre. Was there ever any resolution to your original problem?

Nope. I still call his cell that goes straight to voice mail 20-30 times a day leaving a 3 min message (music from the radio) each time.  Doubt it bothers him but I'm persistent and have nothing better to do while driving from one job to the next.

I just tried calling to say hi and the number is not currently accepting calls and appears to be shut off.

Another look shows that there are only 2 people on Facebook named Dale Bice that have Philadelphia listed in their profile.  One lives in Vegas and is from philly.
