Assuming his checking account is still linked to his Google Pay, you should see refund. If he closed the account ,then...
I hope he gets what he deserves. I just got scammed for $870, so I feel ya. Same guy ,different screen name ,for all I know.
I ****ing hate thieves.

And I had that scenario in mind but you should've kept that to yourself just in case he wasn't as smart like you and me because he can still read our conversation

Why did the other FS thread basically disappear anyways?

Not trying to hurt anyone's feelings here. But, hopefully we can all learn from this.

The EVO rule about date and screen name should be in effect. I'm willing to bet this guy never owned the wheels listed. Scammers know how google reverse image works.

Watching for the red flags below will help you, but smart scammers will also end up not making these mistakes.

flag 1) This guy did not know specs on the wheels and they changed multiple times.
flag 2) Funny he always had cropped down photos of the wheels isn't it? Never a photo of all the wheels together.
flag 3) This day and age, 99% of people have a cell phone and should be able to send pictures easy. If they don't, suspect scam especially if you are buying at a good discount price and sending a large amount of money.
flag 4) The generic "evom" inside the wheel photo. Notice the black bars on the side and how long the photo is. Tell me why any anyone would ever crop a photo like that?
flag 5) For the guy who paid him, I've never used google pay, hope it has buyer protection but i doubt it.

I'm guessing o/p's account was hacked/stolen by a scammer, or the guy is just desperate since the "user" has been an evoM member for a few years. Hopefully i'm wrong about it all and the "seller" can come on and call me an *******. Good luck to anyone who sent this person money.

It was recent. PayPal and my credit card company are waiting for a response. He's in my state, so I have other options, should neither pan out.

LOL I'm 99% sure the guy isn't going to read my post and be like, "ohh. good idea". It's not exactly a secret.

AAAAAAAAAWESOME! That was much, much faster than PayPal handles things (they like to hang on to money as long as possible). Maybe I'll start using Google pay, too.

Congrats, dude!

I had this happen once with google play and I got my credit union involved and got my money back. Glad you did too.

Is this the same ad that only posted 2 wheels in the photo for 2300? I saw that and was a big red flag. I bought some TE37SL here recently and had a pleasant transaction luckily.
