Anyone know this user and/or actually received parts from them?
This thread - https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1772283
I purchased two parts from the user (Zelle'd them $320 on 11/6) in this thread and haven't received them or gotten any communication from the user. since 11/11. It's been almost a week since I heard from them and they're not responding to my texts. I hate to say I've been scammed - I understand stuff happens and they may have had an emergency or whatever - but they could at least respond to a text. Has anyone actually gotten any parts from them? Or do they know this user? |

This is same stuff over and over again not to be a that guy but please use PAY PAL... people aren't always honest especially now a days. By doing Zelle or Venmo and never seeing them your just giving them free money. Honest people like you get taken advantage of.

Yep. I know it. Only reason I decided to Zelle him is that he joined in 2016, has several other posts and seemed to be responding to everyone in the for sale threads he posted. Normally I wouldn't Zelle anyone at all but I figured with all this info he was trustworthy. Stupid me.

I recently picked up the front splitter from him.. I did see his F80.. when I picked up the part in BK
Honestly no way for me to tell or know whether it is OEM or it is not.. not a professional.. However, not going to lie im questioning the part when I saw it.. Just didn't feel the price on the part... but I saw the BMW sticker so im like f*** it I guess.. LOL |

I'm surprised, he didn't come off like the scammer type. I offered to trade him my non zcp seat belts + cash, but he politely declined citing the car is a lease so it would not be right to start swapping parts out of it.
Hopefully this can be explained. Regardless it's a small world, I'm sure you can ask around the FB pages and someone is definitely bound to know him or her ... which parts did you buy btw? would be helpful to list it and see if he sold the same parts to someone else. |

I've had a similar experience on here before. I bought a part off someone and paid through Venmo because he seemed legit. After I sent him money he said he was going to ship it on a certain date. But when I followed up with him on that date I didn't get a reply. I think I sent the guy 3 texts and still got no response. He eventually got back to me a couple weeks later stating he got "sick" and that he didn't get a chance to ship it yet. He ended up being legit and I got the part so hopefully something just came up with your seller and he's just busy and bad at replying

Not sure how it works with him shipping.. I’m from queens met up with him saw his F80.. said his new M8 just came in so he’s selling parts ASAP.. he’s pretty good with texting when I was messaging him.. goodluck!
And I just checked my texts this was about a week and a half ago. Give him a call.. also I met him at AT&T he said he was getting a new phone maybe he lost your contact info 🤷🏻*♂️ |

Dude, I feel for you, but you can only use regular PayPal and be safe. I saw OchoChino posting to do a BM3 license transfer using an activation key. I heard about a different guy scamming that way so I emailed ProTuningFreaks asking (in his pic you could see the support ticket number). They confirmed that they asked him for his info and he never got back to them (but enough to get a pic looking like a real customer). I called him out on it and then the item was marked sold...

What I don’t understand about this is who drives a car like an M3 or M8 and then turns around and scams people?
Sorry you’re stuck in this situation OP, I’ll save the obvious advice and just empathize with how shitty it feels when you act in good faith with a bad faith party. Hope things resolve

I know it's old and I'm SOL but, has anyone ever talked to or seen this user, OchoCinco, ever again?
I check every time I get on here to see if he's logged in again but his last time was 12/1/20. Unless the dude is dead then he took my money (and I think others too) and vanished. Which is strange because he was on here for years and apparently sold stuff successfully and people had even met him. So, anyone heard from him since? |
