To whom it may concern Below is my case: November 5 2002 – Received phone call from Sharon Vicelli requesting purchase of set of rims (AC Schnitzer rims and Pirelli tires). Was given FedEx account number to use for delivery (claimed it was her company’s). She claimed that she wanted to give them to her son for his birthday present. Her son drives a 540i. His birthday was on Tuesday and she wanted them ASAP. Cost was for the sum of $2500.00 November 7 2002 – Rims were shipped out to Sharon Vicelli at 1150 Harrison St San Francisco CA 94103 (FedEx distribution center). Total of 183.00 lbs. Shipped Priority Overnight. Requested COD cashier’s check November 8 2002 – Rims were received by Sharon Vicelli or someone signing off for her (name was Wesuter Messenger). Delivered at 1:49pm. At Fedex distribution center in SF. Check was given to Fedex November 10 2002 – Check was received from Fedex by myself in the mail. November 13 2002 – Check was deposited at First Continental bank and returned as “Not Authorized” November 18 2002 – I discovered that the check was fraudulent. Attempted to call the bank from which it came “Swiss Federal Credit Union”. Bank does not exist. Called Sharon Vicelli no one picks up. November 18 2002 – Called FedEx to inform them that I have been defrauded. They claim they cannot help me and that the situation is between the receiver and myself. I ask them to at least check out the account because that’s the only information I have to go on and if not for my sakes at least verify that the account is valid and no one is using this account to fraudulently request shipping that they won’t pay for. November 30? 2002 – Owner of account refuses to pay sum of $469.53 for shipping. December 15 2002 – Received a bill for the shipping of the rims for the sum of $469.53. December 20 2002 8:25am – Called Fedex and spoke with the Reggie (Smith?) President of FedEx. They claim they can not help me since they are soley in the business of protecting the product not the seller nor the buyer. Not only did I lose out on the sum of $2500.00 but now I also have to pay the bill for the shipping. Please advise. I can be contacted at
