Laconte Dorotha, This guy is already on the list. Just try to scam me on my WTB Sway Bars post. Thought it was fishy right from the start, i mean, Laconte Dorotha? Could that even be a real name? Email/Paypal mbuisavali@yahoo.com

This guy thought he was slick...and he was a bit different. Instead of getting called out with one or two posts, he spent a couple days commenting on various threads building up his post count. Then he responded to my WTB with a PM claiming to have the part himself...instead of refering me to a second person that has the part at a great price.
My first warning was when I replied to his email and asked for a picture. He replied, "picture of what"? I reminded him of his PM to me claiming to have the part. He then "shopped" the picture off the internet (as it turns out from a friend I know on ESR) and claimed the same item discription...down to the exact word, at of course an unbelievable price...or best offer! So be careful guys...they are getting wise to us and this low post count thing. They now know that if they invest some time to build up the post count, they appear to be more credible. Trust, but verify.

*EDIT*...they may be building up the post count (with stupid meaningless posts) knowing that they will appear to be legit for a very short period of time...maybe only a couple days, before they get found out and banned. Do your due diligence and check out their recent posts. If they are short, non-constructive or oblivious...they are just building up what they consider to be legitimacy. Another red flag would be if they have zero started threads me thinks.

Purchased a steve wong 28 pin from him and getting the run around from him claiming that it was shipped but he doesn't have the shipping confirmation with him & the contact on paypal confirmed that he used the payment email without permission and he already forwarded the payment to him.

Brazen dude. I sent him an email after I posted his user name and email on this thread.
I also sent an email to the seller and notified him that his pics and info had been jacked. Scammer responds to me...

"I never hijacked any post, been busy so i could'nt reply but reading all this from you. Too bad, go find your item somewhere else. Too Rude"

His "supposed" name is "Alexander Milner" and he is still adding posts...nothing vaguely of content, but adding numbers to his count. If you see this guy post on a thread, you will see what I mean. Be aware.

He sold this chip to several people it seems.
Confirmed Scammer.
Their phone is 9492976104 though I suspect it's a g-phone as it's now disconnected.

I am just gonna say this:

I have been scammed twice on this board while asking for pictures of parts, drivers license etc etc etc...

These ****tards are very crafty.

How does one ban IP addresses? At the individual or forum level?

Please ban Ireland98
Email :danireland098@gmail.com
Name: Daniel Ireland

Got me for $465.00 USD for what appeared to be a great deal on a used ring and pinion.

Big red flag now is that he requested F&F Paypal for payment, I was naïve on the protocol of forums given it has been about 20 years since I bought or sold off open forums..... anything previously was off of private Facebook groups where you can check the statistics of the buyer/ seller.
Once paid, he requested more for added shipping cost, at which point I offered to pay with Paypal protection, which he refused and sent back, then delays in shipping documentation, etc, etc, now he claims not to have sold me anything, wont return the funds.
Lesson learned, Karma will get the better of him.....

That’s exactly what happened to me. I’m never paying by F&F again unless I have actually met the seller (which for me means UK only) and will add on the 3% seller’s fee if necessary.

These people are scumbags and we need to be ultra vigilant to their tricks and traps.

Unfortunately doesn’t always work. Sometimes they’ll just crop part of an image which won’t work with reverse search. Best just to ask for more pictures of the same item (which they can’t)

samdn is trying to sell me some fuchs as well....ignoring! Thanks for the heads up!

Another scammer! Seems he has a few cars with a "knock" 944 and now a 930.

Anyway, can sell the headlights to you if you'd be interested. Both headlights are still in excellent condition. Lmk if you're interested.


Regards.

[Alan L]

He sounds like a decent guy. While he has a long engine rebuild to do he is going to sell you the headlights off his car - he won't be using them for a while:-).
Good of him.
I have been wanting to post a WTB - but this all puts me off.

Jeff5678 is a d*ckhead. You have no rights to call me a scammer without any good reason. I have reported you to the admin. You are the scammer here, don't you ever tag me a scammer here. I'd love the admin to investigate this properly before taking the right actions.

You would be very sorry for calling me a scammer.

[GFrey]

Beware of Jeff5678. He might have a good number of posts but he's not who you think he is.
