I would love to speak with a moderator as I was scammed on a sale ...

mavjr99 · 01-19-2021, 02:37 PM

in the members classified forum. I am not one to smear reputations but there has to be a way to alert other members discretely.

raym3cs · 01-19-2021, 03:20 PM

well at least let everyone know what happened so they dont make the same mistake

MisterF80M3 · 01-19-2021, 03:20 PM

Why do you need to alert other members discretely? Just put it on blast so everyone knows.

AR_Motorwerkz · 01-19-2021, 03:32 PM

+1 on putting the scammer on full blast. It's for everyone's sake.

Wmf80 · 01-19-2021, 03:53 PM

Did you pay without buyer protection? Step in line

diesel733 · 01-19-2021, 04:01 PM

This. Let's hear their name.

I was scammed in November by OchoCinco and never did get any resolution. The more people that know about these assholes that steal money from people, the better.

Name names. Let the shaming begin.

OP, this forum has a 99% success rate in resolving the issue if you release the details. The truth shall set you free!

+1 - Out them.

mavjr99 · 01-20-2021, 05:58 AM

I waited long enough for this guy to me honest and do the right thing but that did not happen. gsrivera2 is his user name. I had a post to sell my VFF 103s. We agreed on price, I sent a PayPal invoice, and all seemed fine. I shipped BEFORE he paid me for two reasons. I was busy at work and couldn't do it the next day and I truly have faith that people generally do the right thing. Before I shipped I emailed him and he emailed right back and said he would PayPal me when he got home from work. Anyway, I emailed tracking info etc. Days have gone by and he has since vanished. The wheels were delivered Monday, left at front door according to UPS. I've sent a dozen or so emails, all unanswered.

The reason I refrained from posting his name was because I know it is possible, although unlikely, there is a reasonable explanation for this. That said, I am posting now, and if he actually does resurface from a coma or something similar, I will come back here and let you all know that as well.

YES I know I should have waited to get paid first so I don't need that conversation. I literally wanted the wheels out of my garage and I have never had an issue on this forum or any other for that matter dealing with other higher ticket items in my 53 years, so I shipped them.

Anyway, assuming he is not ill or something along those lines, he is a thief. I can live without the wheels and the $1,400 or so bucks, but kinda sad people act the way they do. You wanted a name, and you deserved a name. I just wanted to give him a little more time to do the right thing, but that didn't work out.

F80_Greg · 01-20-2021, 08:05 AM

Sorry to hear that OP. You live and you learn i guess. Some people are just pieces of shit. As for the thief, let the roasting begin!

TopJimmy · 01-20-2021, 08:38 AM

I'd show up at his house with the cops, and pick up "my property".

Why would the cops come with you . You willingly sent the wheels. Depending on state they would refer you to court. Best of luck

coldsteelrain · 01-20-2021, 08:47 AM

Could you call the local police department where he lives at. You should have his address where you shipped it to. I mean you do have the actual correspondence with him. They could visit him and see what's up?
Good luck

Guy has my property. It's not his.
Yes, I was a fool, but we agreed on a price. I want my stuff back.

Sometimes a local cop can help a lot. Sometimes not.
