I purchased some custom car parts from a guy name Dee Johnson and his shop he said is located at 1300 S.30TH St. Waco, Tx 76711. I saw his add on Facebook Market Place. We worked out the deal and I sent him $2150 for the parts. He sent me a message from the shipping company called Beta Trans Agency and e-mailed a picture of the receipt with the tracking number. I got a call from the shipping company saying they need $200 for a cus-toms stamp and I was confused since its coming from Waco Texas. I questioned that but also why they were contacting me since I did not ship the package. Its was its your package so we had to contact you for payment so I did send the money. I got another call 3 days later saying the driver had an accident and they were requesting $300 from everyone to store the packages until they get another truck to pick the packages up. I went on-line to verify the company Betta Trans Agency and the phone number they texted me from is listed as 323-814-1582 so I sent the money with the understanding that I would get it back on delivery of my parts. I received an invoice with the tracking number from Betta Trans Agency. I received an invoice with the tracking number from Betta Trans Agency and it showed my package was in transit. A week later I get a text from the delivery driver stating my parts are on the way and require a delivery fee so after going around and around for a few days in the end it cost me another $300 or so for delivery and still I do not have the package.
