this should be stickied and we could keep an updated list of scammers, since were seeing more and more of them.

 

Not that anyone probably wants to do this, but isn't the limit for grand larceny like $500? So if he rips someone off for more than that then you can call the cops and have him arrested?

 

I've already stickied it, and depending on how fast Nadeem replies to my PM, I may ask him to make it a Global announcement so that it may show up in all parts of the forum.

Problem is that it's not that there's more scammers popping up, it's the same person making multiple accounts.

In a way, I have to say that I'm a bit disappointed in myself for not seeing the warnings. Since I had no internet readily available for a while, I totally missed the fact that there was a warning in the Mod section. I'm sure I speak for the other mods when I say we'll do whatever we can to make sure it doesn't happen again.

And raz, apparently they knows what they're doing. All they does is get people for small quantities. In the cases I've seen they've ripped people off for $100, $150, $320, and $350. No more than that.

Plus from what I've seen no one's bother to track them down.

 

Surely we have some Cali members that might live near him? Would it be possible to have the local cops check it out?

 

Assuming that's the real deal. As I posted, it could be, and most likely is, false.

 

This dude is everywhere from here to nico to zilvia to mazda forums. Even found him on a body building forum. From what I've been digging up he also goes by the name Emanuel Camberos. http://zilvia.net/f/private-sellers/320649-scammer-torbell27-yahoo-com.html
He also got a guy on here about 5-6 months ago for some seats.

I hope this guy is caught and he gets the proper punishment.

 

got his ip address? maybe some members can use there "skils" to find where he lives. lol

 

I'd rather hold off on that until Nadeem checks in.

OP edited to include new name.

probably a good idea

neo should be able to get his ip adress i would assume. at the very least his phone number can be traced.

lol, what forum are you on? neo isnt around much anymore.. and I am not sure if he still has privileges to see that stuff.

mods/admins can get ip address's

Members who do so (try tracking this person down) should at their own discretion.

 

hey kato i appricate this +1

 

Not a problem at all. Thank you for bringing it to everyone's attention.

If anyone has any other information feel free to add it. I'll make sure to edit my OP to include it there as well.

 

Oh sorry. Guess I'm out of the loop. I though Neo was still the like leader/owner or whatever of this forum. Nvm. And thanks soon for informing us.

 

Neo is the founder. He was the admin since this place opened up. It switched over to Temecula240, who then passed the torch to our current admin, administrator.

 

On top of this guy, I also want everyone to beware of anybody claiming to be able to ship parts from Japan. It's popped up occasionally, a military member saying that they can find any part you need, but for a price. Then they say they want to ship through Military Postal Service. It is illegal to make money or run a business utilizing the Military Postal System. However, if they are going to ship through DHL/EMS, then it is okay, but still beware of these guys. Most of them have good intentions, but not all of them. I try to scan the F/S posts frequently for these kind of posts, but if you see something like this, please contact me or Kato. I've dealt with Kato on this issue in the past.

 

nice, thanx for the update guys.... ill keep my eyes peeled as well.

 

RLong is right on the money about what he posted.

The important thing is NOT to give into something that's "too good to be true" before checking it out.

Uses some scrawny kid as a picture.... or he is the older guy. lol

 

Excellent update.

Nadeem [administrator] has just informed me that the IP has been banned. Hopefully it's the last we'll see of this character.

However, don't let it mean that you can go about transactions without being cautious. Always remember to research, research, research, and then leave feedback to make sure people see whether the person can be dealt with or not.

Anyone with doubts or concerns, feel free to PM a mod or admin.

Stay safe.

 

Counterfeit money alert!

Ok guys. I jsut found out today I had $250 of counterfeit money. I found out about 10 of it a few days ago and then checked the rest today. I know where it came from. I sold a couple young kids an Ipod for $250. I highly suggest that everyone pick up some of the pens to check them with. I'd hate to see this happend to anyone else especially for larger amounts. They had counterfeit 20s and 5s and I'm sure more as well. When I spoke with the cops the other day, they said that is extremely common. I wanted to warn everyone I could before it happened to someone else.

 

did you lose the $250?

 

Yeah. There's no way to get it back. If you get counterfeit money then you're just screwed. You can't take it to the bank and get it exchanged or to the police or anything. You're just out however much it was.

 

or you could buy gas for like a month? buy tires? buy anything at a store?

i woulda hit up craigslist for a good ole time

 

^you can also be guilty of a felony for using fake money knowing it is fake.

That sucks though man, turn those little punks in.

 

Than you're stupid if you get using fake money and admitting that you know it's fake. Dont you retards know how to launder money?

Pumaking, laundering money........
