I hate people like this. Some people deserve to be shot. unfortunately it doesn't look good. I found this on yelp:
Honestly I would be so pissed right now, not for being duped, but for losing a matching numbers engine that I would end up breaking into the building to see if my engine was in there. But, don't listen to what I would do as this could result in serious consequences with the law and not mention have an adverse effect on your claim with the police.
