This is nuts, you've got 150x's the patience I do. I would never in my right mind accept payments. He's proven to be unreliable and untrustworthy multiple times, I think you need to draw a permanent line somewhere and not cross it for the world. If he falls through, throw the law on him.

[Badhawk]

popo sorry to hear your not going to receive any of your money back from this pos but, I think everyone on here including yourself just didn't believe it was going to happen. You have been a patient man now go lock his ass up !

[Wooshie]

I really want to see how this ends now.

Just spoke with Officer Williams at the Stauton PD.... As soon as I tod him the name, the Officer said, "LET ME GUESS, YOU GOT A CAMARO...." He is very familial with Mr Parish.... Subject from TEXAS filed against him for not even delivering a motor that was paid for...and another complaint of a guy who sent him his car for a motor and instal and Parish was seen cruising around in the car....

Quoting Pennsylvania Statutes Chapter 39 § 3922. Theft by deception. (a) Offense defined.--A person is guilty of theft if he intentionally obtains or withholds property of another by deception. A person deceives if he intentionally:

1. creates or reinforces a false impression, including false impressions as to law, value, intention or other state of mind; but deception as to a person's intention to perform a promise shall not be inferred from the fact alone that he did not subsequently perform the promise;

2. prevents another from acquiring information which would affect his judgment of a transaction; or

3. fails to correct a false impression which the deceiver previously created or reinforced, or which the deceiver knows to be influencing another to whom he stands in a fiduciary or confidential relationship.

(b) Exception.--The term "deceive" does not, however, include falsity as to matters having no pecuniary significance, or puffing by statements unlikely to deceive ordinary persons in the group addressed.

Penalties are outlined in a separate statute, and depend upon the facts of the offense:

Quoting Pennsylvania Statutes Chapter 39 § 3903. Grading of theft offenses. (a) Felony of the second degree.--Theft constitutes a felony of the second degree if:

3. In the case of theft by receiving stolen property, the property received, retained or disposed of is a firearm and the receiver is in the business of buying or selling stolen property.

(a.1) Felony of the third degree.--Except as provided in subsection (a), theft constitutes a felony of the third degree if the amount involved exceeds $2,000, or if the property stolen is an automobile, airplane, motorcycle, motorboat or other motor-propelled vehicle, or in the case of theft by receiving stolen property, if the receiver is in the business of buying or selling stolen property.

(b) Other grades.--Theft not within subsection (a) or (a.1) of this section, constitutes a misdemeanor of the first degree, except that if the property was not taken from the person or by threat, or in breach of fiduciary obligation, and:

2. the amount involved was less than $50 the offense constitutes a misdemeanor of the third degree.

(c) Valuation.--The amount involved in a theft shall be ascertained as follows:

1. Except as otherwise specified in this section, value means the market value of the property at the time and place of the crime, or if such cannot be satisfactorily ascertained, the cost of replacement of the property within a reasonable time after the crime.

2. Whether or not they have been issued or delivered, certain written instruments, not including those having a readily ascertainable market value such as some public and corporate bonds and securities, shall be evaluated as follows:

i. The value of an instrument constituting an evidence of debt, such as a check, draft or promissory note, shall be deemed the amount due or collectible thereon or thereby, such figure ordinarily being the face amount of the indebtedness less any portion thereof which has been satisfied.

ii. The value of any other instrument which creates, releases, discharges or otherwise affects any valuable legal right, privilege or obligation shall be deemed the greatest amount of economic loss which the owner of the instrument might reasonably suffer by virtue of the loss of the instrument.

3. When the value of property cannot be satisfactorily ascertained pursuant to the standards set forth in paragraphs (1) and (2) of this subsection its value shall be deemed to be an amount less than $50. Amounts involved in thefts committed pursuant to one scheme or course of conduct, whether from the same person or several persons, may be aggregated in determining the grade of the offense.

(d) Definitions.--As used in this section, the following words and phrases shall have the meanings given to them in this subsection:

"Manmade disaster." - Any industrial, nuclear or transportation accident, explosion, conflagration, power failure, natural resource shortage or other condition, except enemy action, resulting from manmade causes, such as oil spills and other injurious environmental contamination, which threatens or causes substantial damage to property, human suffering, hardship or loss of life.

Thankyou man... Im filling it out now.

Here is what I posted in the narrative.

Feb 21st 2007, I Paypaled $5,250oo to the "owner" of a business called parish enterprises.
He/It were located out of IL (somewhere). I had located him on EBAY where he was selling built LT1 and LS1 motors built as packages or to order.
It was a deal I couldnt pass up!!! with great EBAY REVIEWS (what a joke) and lots of pictures, i trustingly sent the money as he sent me updates and pictures of the fully forged 383 LT1 stroker motor with "9-1" compression for my blower set up. He sent pics of the splayed mains, and the entire build process... (to bad they were pics of someone elses motor....
It came, and it ran, and it looked great, it even sounded great with some "secret squirrel" cam with one hell of a lope. As I stated in my introduction, it took between 2,000 and 3,000 miles of driving (only time it was abused was on the dyno because i was scared of hurting the transmission) the crank gave. Fortunatly , it broke in a way that the crack allowed it to push against itself and get me home.
We towed the car to the shop, pulled the trans and realized there was a delay when you turned the balancer to when the rest of the crank began to move (had the oil pan off also)....The crank was broken in 2 pieces.
After removing the crank, I called Eagle and discovered that "383 CI" on the crank did not stand for 383 cubic inches, the CI stood for Cast.... yup, my forged crank that I purchased was cast, no wonder it couldnt hold up. Then I looked at the main caps, having taken for granted that splayed mains were there because thats what he sent pics, each one was only a TWO BOLT....
to make things worse, we pulled everything and everything was mismatched, and altho it was all balanced, the rods and pistons were cheap crap. Sent the block out , got it mag'd, got it another .10 over, and had a billet front cap and had all of the other mains splayed...
On to the heads. Advertisement said PORTED AND POLISHED HEADS AND INTAKE, WILL FLOW BETTER THAN LT4. well nothing was done.... NOTHING! hell all the valves had so much play Im suprised the car ran and even made power... I can go on and on, but I wont....
I attempted to contact the guy and even BS him that i had some heads to send him for doing such a good job, and nothing Anyways,his email was Lt1partsguy@yahoo.com and he never responded.
THen I joined a site called LTX tech, for enthusiasts of the LT based GM motor. I wrote about my issue and one member actually located MR PARISH and his new bussiness name..(http://www.epecustomengines.com/info.html)
On 7.14.2009 after being given the new info for Mr Parish, I used the site that was given to me in this thread and used an alternate email (one for the performance shop I work at part time) and acted as though I wanted to order a motor.
The owner ERIC PARISH replied that nite via email with a good number to call him at, (greed is an evil thing)
I called him today and had a nice discussion with ERIC regarding all of the items that were mis represented or not issued in my purchase. We had a nice discussion of the CRIMINAL/CIVIL sanctions which may be imposed, and I gave him 5days to come up with an agreed upon amicable solution before, charges are filed.
Needless to say, that was 2 years after I sent him the money for the motor, here is a copy of the PAYPAL:

LT1 383 STROKER ENGINE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FORGED LT1 383 STROKER.


Needless to say, until the motor was built, shipped and installed in my vehicle, then tuned so that I could drive it , a year had passed... then by the time it broke another 6-8 months had passed, and by the time we tore the motor down to discover all of the items that were mis-advertised, and how badly I was lied to there was no sign of ERIC PARISH until I started this thread...
http://ltxtech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6807
And that is how I got in touch with MR Parish once again. I am a Police Officer for the past 8 years and I tried my best to work with Mr Parish regarding making restitution. I even advised him I was only loking for 4,000 of the 5,250 sent because I was able to reuse what I feel was approximatly 1,250 of the motor, although having the motor redone cost me well over another $3000.00 For the past 3 months we went back and forth in email, and he has stalled with one excuse after another. If you check out that site, I logged almost every step of MR Parishs and my conversations. I have also saved almost ALL of the emails between Mr Parish and Myself where he advises that he is aware that he owes me... I look to you for help in this situation.
The list below is a build sheet Mr Parish promised me that my motor would be. Behind some of the items are my comments where it fell short...

Im sooooooooo glad I saved every email, and every word this POS said....

Everything from my initial trick to get a hold of him, to him admitting he used inferior parts, to the multiple offers he made to make restitution....

In case anyone was wondering, this is what over 100 emails look like....
