OP you are way too nice. I would have posted this fools address by now. Is there a running list of known scammers on this forum? At least that way others wouldn't get scammed.

They all disappear and come back under a new username. Mods do absolutely nothing.

The trevor guy who scammed someone over a deposit for a set of wheels in the PNW was just trying to find an interior swap recently.

All I can do is learn from your kindness and taking the high road like others have said. However, with that said, wish you didn't admit this.

Bitter pill to swallow but this is pretty much the same tact I had to take when I was scammed recently by OchoCinco. Mine was ‘only’ for 320 bucks and not a set of wheels , but, unless I want to drive myself nuts trying to track the guy down, I had to let it go.

Sorry this happened with your sale.

Mods and this forum cannot be held responsible for members getting scammed. This isn't ebay where they take a % of your sale. Paypal also has protections against this kind of thing. Also everything I purchase online I use my credit card so I can chargeback against this kind of situation.

I was selling my motorcycle years ago. Some dude offered to wire the money directly into my account.

Was kind enough to offer a test transfer and deposit a $100 dollars.

Told them I'll send bank information ASAP. So far it's not possible.

I've had one dude he was in military; asked to have bike shipped to him. Never had a live conversation with the person.Told him I'll cover shipping he should have the bike next week.
