Sorry this has happened to you and sorry we have to deal with dishonest folks.
I won’t beat a dead horse but I’m thinking everything about this person’s login info is bogus so tracking him/them is probably futile. Lesson learned and hopefully you’ve helped the next victim avoid this person.
That's really all I can hope for. Still annoyed I didn't listen to my gut!
Did he contact you with email again?
Sure did! To tell me about his emergency, apologize for not shipping yet, asking for MY I.D....
Back in October of 2018 I posted a WTB set of wheels. I was Private Messaged by S14life to contact a friend of his and he gave me an email for him as well. I did email the person and he sent me a few pictures of filthy wheels. The whole thing seemed strange so I did not pursue further.
I still have the messages in my inbox if the moderators want them.
Pretty much how it went down, except the pics for me were of some good looking wheels.
Google his screen name and you’ll see he has pulled this scam on other forums. They also provide a phone number in one of the threads (BMW). If you google that number you find more threads of this scam on even more forums.
He’s left quite the trail, wonder if anyone’s local law enforcers or interweb vigilante want to go after him.
Btw, one of his IPs is a known Nigerian problem.
Man, do you know some interweb vigilantes? Really, I am just hoping karma gets this person.
Of course not, but you can yank his chain. Tell him to refund the amount you sent him and then you'll send him a check to cover the full amount plus express mail charges for the wheels.
My most recent email to him focused on disparaging his character. Probably not helpful in the long run.
