warning , scam activity on Pelican by "jjjfamily "

***read this and be careful Pelicans.***
I have been searching for a pair of Recaro A8 seats so decided to post WTB on the parts section.
very soon this "jjjfamily" contact me and ask me to give him e-mail so he can send me photos.
Once I received the photos, I found they were familiar to me, I have been looking for these, so I did research and have ok memory I guess.
He downloaded photos from other seller and use them to scam.
here is his photos came from, the last one on the first link, and the first on the second link.
SOLD - Rare set of Recaro A8 Gen II Seats in Black Leather - Rennlist Discussion Forums
VWVortex.com - Recaro A8 Version 2 Recently Reupholstered

He demanded paypal payment and told me he was in TN.
his phone number: 931-400-2297 (must be a internet phone number or something like that.)
I called him and it had very poor reception.
he than called me a few times, finally one from 234-708-757-0100 (after search it was "Nigeria").
BEWARE PELICANS, it's easy to fall in this cause we posted WTB and someone has the parts.
I will try report to Pelican as well.

I am on the phone with him now. I listen to his accent and he does sound Nigerian. He is a scam artist for sure. He demanded that I give him 50% down payment in order to secure the engine. I told him I was driving down to pick it up in Tennessee.

Now he is trying to convince me that he is been an admiral man and wants to do the right thing. I also noticed from the email conversations I had with him that his grammar n English is incorrect.

Further he said he was selling me a 3 L engine from a 1976 911 S. We all know that that car came with a 2.7 L engine

Be safe Pelicans. *jjjfamily* is 100% a scammer, don't even trust this guy a bit.
He is still e-mailing me for parts I wanted, but the e-mail address I only gave one time was to this jjjfamily guy, so all other mails are from his group or his other e-mail accounts.
Most of people on Pelicans are very easy to deal with, hope these scammers go somewhere else.

Scammer - shut him down

This clown just contacted me about a part I advertised for. Why can't this site shut down his account? He has used the same ID across several forums.

I had his internet cell number and traded a whole bunch of rauchy txts with him. I told him that I was with NSA and there was a drone circling his house at 20k feet and he should bend over and kiss his ass goodbye.
