I think I might be getting ripped off...

So here's a good one...

I just called the place where this guy works, and the manager tells me that he quit on Friday. I'm about 99% sure this asshole is scamming me now. I was trying to get his home phone number, but since he quit, the manager couldn't give it to me.

Damn! That sounds bad, Mark...

Hopefully the guitar arrives.

If it doesn't arrive, then I'm going to arrive in his shithole town and get it myself.

That's the same fucking guy. Look at his profile on Jemsite...

http://www.jemsite.com/forums/member.php?u=5844

His user name is the same, and it lists him as an exotic car builder, and it has the same link to that website.

Well, it looks like he made $60,000 by scamming that guy on that exotic car forum, and I'm sure he's got plenty of other scams going as well. I found him registered on a bunch of car forums and shit all under that same "shaddoe" user name.

Use the name and address of his business and look him up on www.BBB.com. See how many complaints are registered against him. Then you can always call the City offices of the City he lives in and start talking to people down at the licensing division.

You gotta ask yourself, if you do show up there, and this guy is crazy, do you think he might try and hurt you? Remember its only a guitar.

i agree, it's not worth getting yourself hurt. is there any way you can get the cops involved?

Skip the BBB Mark. Looks like there is no info oh him so far. I'll keep digging and see if I can come up with something on him for ya.

Going down there myself is a last resort, but if it comes down to it, I definitely will.

Ah, alright. Thanks a lot man, I appreciate it. I have his home address and cell phone number, which it looks like he was using as the same number for his exotic car shop or whatever.

Working on that now.

Yeah, hopefully so. I found another car forum where he posts and it said his last recent activity on the site was 2 days ago, so I sent him a PM there. I don't expect him to reply, but whatever.

 

[theorder]

call him (*67) then the number you're calling. it will mask where you're calling from. if he doesn't know who's calling he might pick up....

cool, don't want you to get hurt!

just because you're in the right, doesn't mean he won't pull a knife/gun on you or something.

here you go mark. internet fraud is a federal crime investigated by the FBI. File a report and get in contact with the car dude that was scammed. Hopefully, he'll be sent to my house and be my bitch for 5 to 10 years.
