As of today, all I ever received from Vadim are the spacers and air filters. Vadim has emailed me worthless tracking numbers for headers that were never sent ( I verified this with UPS ). I was then told by Vadim that the Air box HAS BEEN SHIPPED from Canada ( also not true, which he later admitted to ). I was also told by Vadim that the Intake Kit and UD Pulleys would be shipped and tracking numbers would be given to me. ( again a lie ). After repeated phone calls and many empty promises, Vadim tells me is unable to send me my merchandise, because he never had it in his possession to begin with. Vadim then tries to tell me he would still be able to get me the Headers, ( obviously another stall tactic ), which at this point, I felt he was insulting my intelligence and patience, since those Headers were one of the first things he supposedly sent to me WITH tracking numbers.
I told Vadim I wanted a full refund since I had lost all trust in him, because of his lies and empty promises. Vadim tells me he will return my money when he sells the Headers ( do I smell more stalling tactics) that miraculously appeared ! I told him I was not his partner, and I wanted my Money returned to me immediately. Vadim then told me that I would receive my refund that week. That week, was weeks ago. And that was the last time I ever heard from Vadim Fedordezn.
More lies to come, Vadim ?????
how much money r we talking about here?

OMG! What an A-Hole!! (If this is true)

I can tell you this. I totally believe the OP. I figured out early in the game that Vadim was F.O.S. I tried to get an intercooler pump and upgrade from him and all I got were continued lies. Every time I would call to inquire about when this upgrade will be available he told me "In about 1 to 2 weeks." I would call 2 weeks later and there was always an excuse why it was not available. Pissed me off. I would have appreciated if he just came clean and said he was not sure for whatever reason. I just lost total faith in him and I could just tell he was B.S.ing. Sorry to hear about your experience. Call the police and ask for a detective. What he did is grand theft if it is over 5K. Hope you get your money back soon.

Larry

Guys, please tell me that you paid with a credit card, because if you did, getting your money back is simple. Call your credit card company right away. Let them know that you paid for merchandise from a vendor that is refusing to send you the product, and you will have your money back in about two weeks.

I had to do the same thing when Jordan from 360 forged lied to me for 7 months. I got my $7,500 back in two weeks.

That is no good at all. A man's word should be good as gold. Report him to the better business bureau or whatever agency that will teach him a lesson.

bodyguard - You need to take legal action. This is theft plain and simple and it's been going on for quite awhile on the Net. Most people just write it off as a bad decision and those responsible go on to prey on more people like us. Ban him from site.

+1...although I did not see where he did or did not use a credit card. If he did, he needs to dispute the charge immediately with his credit card company.

I really hate seeing these stories keep popping up as I really wanted to see these guys succeed.

So many vendors out there do nothing but lie to get the sale. I have had other vendors tell me a particular product is in stock only to wait several months for the product to come directly from the manufacturer in Italy. Other vendors offer "introductory specials" with guaranteed allocations but then tell you that they only have one of the parts and that the other is on backorder. How is that a guaranteed allocation?

I hope you paid by credit card. Just call them, dispute the charge, and send back whatever junk they did send you. Simplest way to handle things with the least cost to you. Let us know when you get things resolved.

I’m very sorry to hear about your experience with him. Another OP started a similar thread in the past. I too had a negative experience that turned out okay in the end so I said nothing about it. Maybe now I should post my experience for the sake of the forum. Before I do, I want to make it clear this is my side of the story and my best recall of the events. It could be that we are in the minority as far as Vadim’s customers go.

In the summer of 08, I bought an 80mm TB and a piece of stainless U-bend for a secondary cat delete. I paid Vadim in full up front as you did. I then waited weeks for the products to arrive. They did not come so I began emailing and calling Vadim. I then entered into the realm of what seemed to be deception and delay as you are currently in. I started ramping up the frequency of emails and phone calls. Weeks later something actually shipped. I was told it was everything but it was only half the order. Apparently the UPS man screwed up at least according to Vadim. It seems UPS is a common scapegoat. Finally the rest of my order did arrive and worked as advertised.

Good Luck

Perfect example guys of why you should only go with companies like RENNtech, Kleemann, etc. In addition, you should always use some sort of credit card for payment, so you can dispute any charges if needed. "Live and learn" gentlemen. G/L!
