The guy may not have even run it, and is asking for money. If he is threatening your good name, some folks would rather settle it than have the damage to their reputation. If he's a scammer, he won't want to ship you back the motor to allow you to verify it. Or, next he will pull the "I shipped it. Did UPS lose it?" line of BS. Be very careful and document it all from here.
