Possible real name: Thomas Nelson
Phone number: 203-710-4665
Amount of money: $2100 USD

Purchased a FP Red turbo from him. AND ID1000, STM FPR, and AEM Fuel Rail...Long story short, he kept delaying saying he works all the time and it's hard for him to ship etc etc. I finally got him to "ship". He sent me a FedEx label with all the correct info. All this shows is his city and state and mine. Shows label was created on Monday and scheduled delivery is Thursday and it has been sitting like that for 2 days. He then proceeded to tell me that they must of not scanned the label and it should be here Thursday.

Well I just texted him tonight (203-710-4665). He says hes going to refund my money and when I get the turbo and the other parts to just send him the money back... well I dont think anything is coming. I already filed a chargeback with my bank and should get my money back.

Just wanted to warn the community. This guy even had pics of the turbo with his username and everything. I wonder if he still has it or sold it to someone and keeps on selling it like he still has it so he can get more money.

 

More info:

Name: Thomas Nelson

 

This guy tried to scam me as well. Wanted me to pay through google wallet claiming his PayPal was disabled.

 

Almost got @rajal13 as well!

 

I do think that's his name. He is on a gm trucks forum selling Silverado parts under username tjn54321

 

I was originally going to buy the s2 cams and fp red he posted, but after he never updated his post with items he sold was a redflag to me.

 

tjn54321 is definitely involving him. That was his Venmo user id. Venmo is what I used to send payment to him. I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt and listen to his stories and gave him about 2 weeks to ship but after I spoke to some members regarding him it was a red flag.

Going to sign up for that forum and warn them as well.

 

What's the forum name? Link perhaps?

 

Sham people out to scam you when you try to be honest. They need to get other ways to get paid. When will they understand scamming these days are slowly getting recognized and halted by the banks when the victim notifies them. Good luck bud.

 

Thanks man. He's still in contact with me surprisingly telling me he's going to send the money back via venmo. It's just funny because he gave me tracking and told me he shipped it

 

I have pm'd the user. If others could also add their experiences it would be helpful.

 

Thanks for the warning!

 

Welcome!

 

I have had pretty much the same experience as @05EVO8, except he used a Paypal account called Susan Nelson. Luckily Paypal is on my side on this one. From what I've been able to find out the original buyer of this FP red is called seven10. He's willing to be in contact if anyone has had issues with the scum.

 

hmm not sure what name came up when i bought something from him but i got my parts in a timely manner my transaction wasnt anywhere near the dollar amount the OP mentioned tho
