Is Mabbco motors a ponzi scheme?

ordered a reman 351w roller motor from mabbco out of tyler texas 5/21/18. Payed with Paypal. 6/21 no motor and no phone call. I called them. Was told it would be ten more days. 7/2 no motor, no phone call. I called Paypal and said give me my money back. Paypal escalated claim into a reversal proceeding. 7/2 I get a phone call. I was told they didn't have a core to work with but one just arrived on the truck. Would I wait for motor to be rebuilt with discount? NO, I WANT A REFUND. Was told mabbco would be happy to refund my money. Waited the ten day Paypal claim time and no refund. I called Paypal and they gave me my money back. 7/18 hit the credit card. Whew! They took my order knowing they didn't have a core to work with. I think they used my money to buy someone else's parts. Very bad business.

I'm glad I kept my roller core.
In 10 years they will be much harder to come by.

They are trying to be a brothel. Sell it and get to keep it. After reading their reviews I wouldn't buy a rebuilt weed eater from them.. You got lucky IMO. Sandy

Paypal told me there is a warranty for no item and item not as described for 180 days. Still, yeah I was glad to have my money back.

WARNING!
DON'T GIVE THESE PEOPLE YOU BUSINESS! BAD BUSINESS! BUYER BEWARE
I had to pull my engine ford ranger 3.0 again after oil was running out of the rear oil pan upon first start up, i had to use a dye in the oil first..... the engine builder did not put sealant on the poorly fitted camshaft end cap plug... no return phone call from Mabbco just an e mail saying they would give me the money for the new cam plug from ford $3-60.... nothing for me having to pull the engine again!

So six thousand miles later i have piston slap/tap under load as timing advances on #1 cylinder cold engine..... looks like they over bored that cylinder
