TeamSwift

to put some closure on this drama...

well it's official, Tom was never in a coma and he never stopped posting
I got suspicious tonight when I noticed Cherbal917 posting the exact same wanted ad that I had just deleted by spt-3x1.0 the other day ...
email address [email protected]
joined 11 Jul 2006
two weeks after his "GF" came on here to say he was in a coma

I'm banning his ass...
also, his own email address is listed as [email protected]

Beware of anyone wanting shipping to/from Tacoma WA, as it stands, he's a thief and a liar.

Good!

Interesting. He's continually used his "accident" as an excuse to not pay me back the $300 he stiffed me for. I get the story that he'll pay me back after ( x ) time, etc. Now, seems the whole thing is fabricated, and the sympathy plys were/are BS. I found it particularly interesting that after Tom told me that he was recovering and intended to pay me back, but had no money right now, that he was posting wanted ads in the classifieds. Must not be that broke.

BTW, to add to the entertainment value of all, the last communication from Tom was that although he was experiencing financial issues, he would pay me back for sure after the 1st of the year. I figured since it is now May, that qualifies as after the first. Anyway, whatever, to save anyone else the potential hassle in case he pops back up under another username or on another web forum, watch out for:

Thomas Fellenberg

Currently doing business as "pumped metro" from Lakewood, Washington?

Perhaps it's time to visit your Postmaster, as previously mentioned. Call? Remember, you are dealing at the Post Office level. Their primary mode of communication is written. When you get hired, they send you a letter. At the Post Office, it's all about the hard copy. So you must go there and fill out a few forms. That's it. Don't worry about where he lives or if he moved or anything else. $300 is still a lot of money, and you will see some action. Even criminals will try and avoid the Federal Penitentiary.

I am a retired "Postal Employee" and feel the advice given you above will sort this thing out.

Take the time to visit your local Post Office. The Postmaster is an expert at handling these things. They are in business, (service if you will), not for profit, but to serve you. You will be amazed at the efficiency of the Postal Inspection Service.
What you have described is what computer geeks might call a "fatal error" and easily resolvable. Using the United States Post Office like you said he did, constitutes a serious Federal Crime, and the Inspectors "Always get their man......................."

No need to vent here anymore; just go "postal" on him.

I Im not this tom guy that stole money from another member all I ever did was meet this SPT3 guy in a costco parking lot due to us both having Metro's. We talked & he is the one that got meto go to this site. My name is Doug

*cough*bullshit*cough*
same IP's as Tom was posting from before
same poor spelling/grammar as well, sod off.
ranks right up there w/ pretending to be your girlfriend while you were in a "coma" & not making good on any of your deals.

Simple fact is, most guys who own a Swift can only afford a swift (i bought mine in high-School!). If you can only afford a swift, likely you cannot afford parts for it.

A lot of guys on this forum simply do not have the financial means to carry through with deals. thats why you get a fair bit of trouble with selling parts etc. form this board. More than you would see on a Porsche forum, for example.

Buyer beware! the internet provides great anonymity, and this some guys get big balls and pull crazy scams.

What is the latest? this thread is fun!

Thomas Douglas Fellenberg just ripped us off. there is only one thomas fellenberg in the US. The name is rare outside of Germany. He wanted our ranger pickup bed (he now drives a blue cab with our white bed) and unfortunately he sweet talked my brother in law into letting this "nice guy" deliver $400 to us in Portland on his way back to Tacoma rather than give it then. i realize this thread started 2 years ago but now his trail on the web is wider. Him and his "Christian" family and adoring sister who thinks this guy is a hero all have their pictures and crap on Myspace.com http://www.myspace.com/413890530. searches on the web have found his name on court apointments for theft 3 etc.

we laughed when we found the coma story here. Last Sunday he died in a triple fatality according to his GF who looked for his password so we would know why Fellon(berg) never showed up. then he tells us as i squeezed him that he had no idea she was doing this. i really felt the tone of the GF's story was more of a "screw off and die" story since it was so ridiculoussly over the top. For instance "I was on the cell phone with him when one of the girls in the background screamed and then that was the last i heard from him till a washington state trooper showed up the door" pretty funny huh?

thanks for the rant - i will do my best to get this guy in court along with his pathetic history. anyone else got more info lately on this sad sack?

I recently had a unpleasant experience with a team swift member after numerous emails and everyone getting more shitty from him i chose to file a claim with paypal.The matter was settled immediately.He made the decision to make me whole thats why his name will not be mentioned in this post.I was happy i used paypal.
