Default SCAMMED BY veilside350zTT !!!!

Do not buy anything from veilside350zTT !!! He is trying to scam me $1500 for wheels I am trying to buy from him. So far, I am planning on calling his local police department and then talking to my uncle who is an FBI agent since this is interstate commerce and the amount constitutes felony grand theft. Any other ideas?

What did he do?

Did he give you money? You need to back up any alegations with some facts.

I agreed (in all my stupidity) to mail him a check and he would mail me the wheels. He has cashed my check, and I have no wheels. This is fraud. I have his name, address, and phone number, but he will not return my calls. Does anyone live near Port Orchard, WA that wants to help me out?

This is my first post here because I have a g35 and usually post on g35driver. however, I was looking for 350z track wheels, so I was perusing the classifieds here.

how many days has it been since you sent him a check? how many days since it has been cashed? not against you, just trying to make it clear so everyone knows the details.

just keep in mind that it takes a few days to ship, and probably longer considering the holidays, but he shouldn't be ignoring your calls...

is he a member here? i searched for his name... nothing came up

Yeah, more details on the exchange are needed. When was the check cashed? What shipping method did he say he would use? Have you spoken to him since the check cashed?

I remember that guy. He was arguing with another guy selling track wheels in the other guys post. Here is his info:

veilside350zTT
Newbie
WA
Occupation: cell phone hustler

He hasn't posted since the 7th. I think the lesson is don't buy from newbies, and don't buy from guys with the words "cell phone hustler" in their occupation. Hope you can get it straightened out.

Sorry about the lack of details, but rest assured I have been scammed. I am doing everything I can to bring this guy down. On that same note, anyone know a good wheel shop where I can get a good deal on some 18" axis milanos? my car needs wheels asap since I am not getting the track rims. Thanks

Great. Yeah I sent him a check for a front bumper cover. I last heard from him on the 14th. He said he was goinfg to ship that day, so in all fairness the bumper could still be on the way. Time will tell.

No, I have not received the wheels yet, and dcwilson, I ask that you please call the port orchard, WA police department as soon as you realize you are being scammed. If there are enough complaints, the police will find this guy and throw his *** in jail.
