QUALITY POOL EQUIPMENT POOL EQUIPMENT FOR LESS sold me a used pool pump that worked for 2 months with a two year warranty. has not returned any of my calls. Costa Mesa California
I found this sham of a companies name on Craigslist advertising used pool equipment for less. They advertised that it would come with a two year warranty so I purchased a pump at a 3rd of full price. I figured that if I got two years out of the pump I would perfectly fine with that. So I made arrangements for Tom (?) to come by my house and drop off the pump which he did 4 hours after (red flag) our scheduled time making excuses as it got later in the evening as to why he was late. He showed up in a beat up old truck full of pool parts (another red flag) and we settled the sale. He wrote on my receipt that the pump came with a two year warranty and I would be eligible for the state rebate (a lie and flag).The pump ran for two months and siezed. I repeatedly called this guy who went by the name of Tom or TJ (which is not his real name) and he wont return my calls or text messages in a timely manner and now not at all over the course of a weeks time.
Things to watch for that I failed to do:
1) Always be mindful when buying anything from anyone off of Craigslist. There is no recourse when doing so and Craiglist doesn't give a rats behind. If you do online shopping I recommend Amazon! They protect the consumer from scam artist such as this.
2) If you find yourself purchasing from questionable business or person. Take a picture of their drivers license or the license plate of their vehicle. Get as much information as possible.
3) Search their business name or phone number and see if their are any reviews from anyone else that has done business with that person or business prior to making your decision to move forward with the purchase.
4) Always remember, If it looks to good to be true, It probably is !
