did you report it to ebay already? they will disable his account

evilone

you have to take him to court and sue him. ebay should have all the info and its now fruad and a felony. he can be sent to jail... i would explore every way i could fuck that peice of shit over and do them all

evilone

i sent him an email and asked him for his number if he gives it to me i will post it here for you to tell the police

Good thinking. Ebay is such a good thing, but people like that should just be shot on site for scamming people out of their money. I have bought countless things on Ebay and thankfully never had to deal with something like this, but I hope you dont just let this go. Im sure you didnt just have 1300 bucks laying around to waste. Find him, sue him, whatever.

stuff like that, just need to make sure you atleast do it c.o.d.
at least you get the stuff.

I think we need more info before we pass judgment on this one.

It looks like the person who started this thread did the sale off of EBAY for one reason or another.
If that’s true, EBAY has no record of the transaction and can therefore do nothing to help.

Not that they help, anyway, even if the transaction were done through them.

blader

are you sure about that? I think they have some sort of buyer protecton and insurance policy .. I vaguely remember reading it in an email they sent.

If you used paypal to send the $$ you are covered against fraud,

This is also the second time he is posting for sale the same supercharger. I saw it there last week and when the auction ended he posted the quote below in the decription.

I think the final bid I saw was almost $1900.

. Seller should be shot!

zamo

jezuz; what a scam

I hope u used credit card/paypal; you need to dispute it right away.

how come you trusted a zero-feeback seller, and with $1,400.

And i agree, those scammers should be sent to jail.

I would be skeptical from the beginning because of the grammer....that to me is a clear warning sign it's not a professional/competant buyer source for such an advanced performance part.
Just my $0.02

quoting Habib on this on:

Hey is this guys name supposedly Raul and is his number 786-357-6793

EddieC

I would seriously go to that guys house and kick his ass......def. do not give up on this you should prosecute and get your money back. They usually have a nice place in prison for people like that.

i always say, 'if it sounds too good to be true, than probablyits not true at all'

eBay does offer a Buyer protection program for Buyers who have paid for an item and have not received them. http://pages.ebay.com/help/confidenc...rotection.html

However, if the transaction occured off of eBay, that is you did not complete the transaction via eBay and instead made an arangement to send him money to end the auction early or to circumvent the fees, you are not covered under the protection policy.

If you are so inclined to report the user's fake listing you can also do it here. http://pages.ebay.com/help/contact_inline/index.html

Habib

ebay does offer protection but it doesn't help i went thru that and all the rest of the steps, which u should do then go to www.ic3.gov and file a complaint. this is a branch of FBI and this falls under a federal felony (what i was told by local officer) so this guy could get into some deep $hit.

F900

no offense buddy, and i feel bad for you....but to send 1300 or whatever to a guy that has no feedback on ebay....all u had was a cell phone number ( that was probably bought as a pay as you go phone in 7/11)

Was kinda silly.......how and where did you send the money ( do you have an address ? ), i hope you used a CC or paypal....i hope you did not send him cash......

In this day an age, people will take you to the cleaners and leave you with nothing.


I MIGHT be able to help you, but it all depends on what you have on this guy.

the area code is the florida keys...who actually lives out there?

Rich folks with nothing but excitement for frequent hurricane runs.

That's the same exact broken english as the guy scamming with a twin turbo kit for an "accord v6 1996-2004" in the other thread.

Wow this guy is a real jerk off!!! I hope someone does something to lock this guy up.

F900

JDMj20acL,

I got your PM, Find out what WU he picked up the money, The address you gave me is a real residential address.

The area code is not the Keys, but down south past Miami around the Kendall Area.

I feeling is that this is where the guy lives, why i think that, Is i have send alot of WUs here in S Florida, inorder to pick up the money he send you,

He had to of show his drivers lic, for ID, they would of wrote down his drivers lic number, and kept a copy at the place where he picked up the money.

We can do this 2 ways......

Pay him a visit and see what happens, and if he lives there.

Or i can get the feds involved, only thing is it will be a longer process.

I'd rather pay him a visit with a couple of guy from ACL, but for my own safey i'm not going to do it alone, more people the merrier.

Let me know if any one is interested.......I'd love to meet the fucker get him arrested ....

evilone

ok i got the guy to email me back and he wants my number so what i need you to do jdm is get me a phone number for a detective that is gunna handle the case or a fbi agent that might be handling it. this way i just email him there number so that he calls them and we can get this ball rolling. pm asap with a number for him to call. dont use your cause if you calls and you yell at him im sure he will just hang up on you.

F900

PM me the number, i wont call but, i want to see if the address matchs the phone number. If it does then we know where he lives .....

SLAMMED_WDP_TLS

EBay have his inof but his info can easily be faked there for there is no way you can take him to court because you dont know who did it.

How did you pay for the item. There is a safety unless you wire him the money. If you wire the money to him then you are PRETTY MUCH ASSED OUT. Doesnt matter if you take this guy off or not. YOur main concern is to get you $$$$ back.

evilone

i dont have his number he wants mine so i need jdm to give me the cops he should be working withs number so i can have the theif unknowingly call the cops and talk to a dective who can get his info and persue the case. this has nothing to do with me im just trying to help out a fellow a-cler

fixedtl

Sorry you have to go through this, This happen to me before for a cpu and i pay him through pay pal which i hope you did. You can file a claim with pay pal and inform ebay , then get a hold of ur credit card you use. It took about 1 month to get my money back. Hope you get ur money bak , and we need to get that fuck$r. I hate pplz the rip of others
