Argh. Well, I hope this crap is sorted out. My friend isn't very happy about throwing away $300

As to his statement that "Nemesis" is his family name, US Census data show only three entries. . .John, Joseph, and Santiago. _________________ Toofah King Bad

Check your atlas too. Maybe mine's just outdated, but it's not showing a place called Bamalamadingdonggone

Well, one of his posts on Rennlist said something about having a near death experience a while ago, maybe something has happened? _________________ [This Space For Rent] |

It could be, but he is rather fishy. My friend filed a complaint with paypal, and when they went to retrieve his money from Nemesis, Nem had cleaned out his account already.

I had a fishy deal with him also, paid for 931 head and G31 gearbox (525$ shipped to FL) that never got there. First he put a wrong address on the package, then after changing the destination address to correct one my contact never got it.
So I'm little bit pissed off. _________________ '83 924 2.6 16v Turbo, 470hp

Well, he did tell us he had a serious health issue a while back. Maybe it got him. Or maybe Neil did. . .he once threatened to lynch the Nemster. _________________ Toofah King Bad

Thankyou guys for keeping this thread alive and for the bits of information.
Sorry to hear that i`m not the only one he ripped off. Started a similar thread at Rennlist and he has some unhappy customers there too. One guy there said he has had his motor for a few months and heard nothing. Now I do actually hope he is alive and well but note that he was still posting at least a month after my transaction and some others as well that never got their stuff.
Not sure at all if Archibald Nemesis is his real name but google hit on him 19 times more than the US census bureau. California too!
Still haven`t gone through all his previous posts here let alone rennlist (I am wasting time chasing lost money) but appears his location is:
Clearlake, California. Anyone know the area?
The biggest concern not only for myself but for everyone of us with a Porsche especially is that Nemesis has merely changed his screen name and may be lurking here under another name and seeking out more victims.

Well, for what it is worth, he is a piss poor dismantler and packer, a poor communicator, and underwhelming in terms of keeping his word.
But, I did get my stuff from him. . .sort of. . . _________________ Toofah King Bad

Clearlake is a few hours north of San Francisco. Nice roads getting there, perfect for 924's
Arch Nemesis ? Address listed at Wrigley Field?

My experience was identical to Rasta's. After a few months, I did get a refund on the bits that were broken due to poor packing. Still a pain in the arse.
Good luck, I hope this works out. _________________ 1980 931S
