Have you contacted a staff member for all the times you've been "scammed a lot on here"? I and the rest of the staff remain available to assist in any issue.

why don't you start a sticky thread of scammers usernames with it's own search? people could search usernames before they make transactions.

i'm about to buy a set of bbs mr's from someone on here and reading this makes me weary. he has posts and a rock solid sales rating but you never know when someone is gonna flip to the other side

That's exactly why Ali started this thread. It's over 2 years old with less than 2 pages, not too hard to read the whole thread. A search function like you ask for is just a bit outside our technical capabilities at this point, I think.

Please keep the suggestions and reports coming, I and the rest of the staff look into EVERY one of them and do what we can to resolve issues.

Is Norco Mitsubishi still a site sponsor? I've all but given up on their sales guy, Peter, refunding the $200 he stole for the used MAF that he never shipped but I'm curious to know if he still works for them.

I don't see them listed as a sponsor on our list..... Is he still here as a member, and is there anything we could do to assist you? I take issues like this seriously, let me know if I can help in any way.

Here's the original thread. PayPal found in my favor but his account had already been emptied. Nothing I could do.

Samething happened to me

Paypal said they are going to refund me but his account is empty.

By the way, paypal sucks, they emailed me said they would refund me and on their website said they couldnt favor me.

I was like WTF hahahaha

and in the case history, they said it has been refunded (nope money is still short $210)

ok I am going to give this guy one last chance by ic3.gov

Beware Of A Buyer On Here!!!! Please Read!

Never thought this would happen to me. Well it seems as it has happend to me. I had up for sale a stock turbo with a 10.5 hotside on it. Here is the original thread.

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=368183

Well this guy had contacted me via phone and said hey is there anyway you can get the stud out. I said well i havent really messed with it, you should beable to put some heat to it and work it out. Well i said id look into doing it for him. well a few minutes later i called him back and said, "hey man if you will get these studs out yourself ill get this shippped out today" I had about 30 minutes before the placed closed where i ship stuff out at. So i rushed myself to get this turbo out to him in a timely matter as promised.

This transaction took place on september 15th. Well i go ship this turbo out and send him a tracking number. The turbo arrived September 19th in reno nevada where he requested it to be shipped. His paypal was a san fransico addy, but he called from a reno nevada number. So i figured ok no biggie calling from there and a shipping addy ill do it. Normally i would ask to ship it to the confirmed paypal addy. But he had mentioned he had moved or somthing of the sort. Well i dont hear from him until the 28th when he calls me regarding the broken stud on the o2 housing side, which was clearly stated in the description. Now keep in mind he has had this turbo for 9 days and hes just now getting around to calling me? Well guess what, 2 days later he requests his money back from paypal! So i imediatly call paypal and see what the problem is and they cant really say other than he requested his funds back. So i get on the phone and call him guess what no answer. Well it was the next day i believe that i get in contact with him and he says well his paypal is negative also that might have something to do with it. So i give him the benifit of the doubt due to never having a problem and say ok well call paypal and get it taken care of. So now keep in mind this is 11 days after he recieved the turbo! Well paypal gives you a time limit to get them tracking info and some other stuff if needed. Well yesterday was the last day to get the tracking number to them. I got them the tracking number and she tells me i should be in good hands and should have no problems with this. I said ok thank you and get off the phone. Well today i get an email saying his funds have been refunded back to him! So im furious at this point i call paypal and ask them what the problem is and they tell me since i didnt ship to their confirmed addy they wont give my ,money back! Well after arguing with them and letting them know him requesting his money back 11 days AFTER recieving the turbo, and them giving his money back i get off the phone. I Immediatly call him and guess what i get this message "This user is not accepting calls at this time." WTF! The only way i have to contact him now is the email addy he uses for paypal. So all in all it appears as if im screwed out of a turbo, $215 not sure how paypal thinks im going to pay that. After reading this you are probably wanting a username. Well he contacted me via phone so i do not have a username. But i do infact have all his paypal addy and this phone number that has apparently been disconnected. Below i will add this information. People please beware of this guy. He claims to have a mirage with an EVO 5 swap. Im sure if this is the truth he is probably pretty popular on the mirage forums.


Cheers
Matt
