Got scammed by Gotboost1099!
 

Short story is that I bought from Gotboost1099 his Vortech V3 kit (https://my350z.com/forum/turbos-nitr...ds-gauges.html) with the 3 gauges and he sold the same kit to someone else too. I didn’t get anything, the other buyer got his Turbo kit, so he was scammed too.

I s*cked bigger because I sent the money as gift. He told me someone else (probably nobody) scammed him in the past. I wanted too much the kit, so I sent my last money. Now I lost 2100 USD (+paypal fees) which is a lot of money. Of course I will take any legal options I can, but I don’t want to get anyone else fooled too, so I post here his details.

I hope I post this post in the right topic if not, please move it.

p.s. I hope the other buyers will post their story here too.

Sorry, but you are a fool for sending any amount of $ as a gift. Lesson learned.

You're totally right.

Wow I feel very sorry, as I too put trust in people and sent as a gift...

Luckily it was not as much as that. That is a large amount of money. I hope you somehow get your money back, you can try to contact paypal maybe they can help?

Paypal will do nothing if you sent it as a gift.. Maybe try and talk to your bank idk

talk to your bank. Say the app was running on your phone or you logged into paypal on a public computer and forgot to log off.

Sorry to hear this, probably one of the worst feelings to have, being scammed. I hope your able to get your money back.

I'm really sorry for your loss. But I also can't help but question why you would make such a large purchase from a member with 57 post and "1" on his trader rating? Not to mention, the pics were horrible and description was even worse...


-2 cents-

I really wish the Scammer thread about his supposed K1 attack business hadn't been deleted. Situations like that may seem crazy at the time but looking back that sure would have been a great way for people to see what kind of person he was and avoid doing business with him.

I'm going to see what I can dig up on this...

Here is his FB page... (not hard to find)

https://www.facebook.com/anthony.gia...=browse_search

Per his FB pics...

The orange Z license place # is ZWM67P

Red with black hatch Z # is G65CXS ( a bit blury to me)

He also seems to have and account on:

Under BLUEMX5

ANNNNNDDD it seems he posted his license to operate a shop....with his address...

I'd like to hear the seller's side as well.

He is also on G35, G37, RSX and many other forums... Previous scam on Nico Club Forum click here The buyer had to fix the issues with the car amounting to over $10,000. Much of the issues were things the seller aka Anthony would have known.

From his facebook page...

He opened a "Shop".

You've exchanged words with the seller in his K1 car conversion campaign thread back in 2013. I found it and am reading it now. It's over 8 pages and was deleted. I'm deciding whether to restore the thread or not...

Being that you are in Europe and he is in the US, nothing is going to happen. Sorry, you got scammed dude..If I ever see him in NJ Ill punch him in the face for you..

You are not safe from the Internet. :)

I will reserve judgement till both sides come out but based on interaction with Gotboost in the past I don't see this coming to an agreeable end. Hopefully I'm wrong.

I can't believe you don't remember the K1 Attack thread. it was great for the couple days it lasted.

Thanks Vo. Even if the whole thread doesn't come back it would be nice to have part of it as a character reference before doing business with some people.

Thanks for every help. From here Hungary, Europe it's not easy to do anything, but I will be contacted with a Lawyer.

I was to credulous and I thought that he is a reliable seller. This was a lesson for life. I don't think that ever I will see that money, but I like this forum too much to let anybody else s*ck this!

That's him?! Scratch my previous post. Down with this mfkr!

I didn't remember his name lol. The guy is a con. He had problems with a 240 in the past as well, didn't he?

Maybe his GF would like to chime in again? :bowrofl:

Ok, I've read enough of the other thread, and it's supporting links to other forums, to raise some flags. The deleted thread has been restored for public viewing. If the seller would like to dispute my reversal of the thread deletion, please PM me privately for discussion...

I'll bet she shows up before to long.

go to useless.

It's very interesting and I think relevant to the question in hand. Additionally I posted a link of a bad deal he did a couple years ago. Basically sold a Z with known issues, well it's legal because it's "as-is", I argue it's unethical.

Yes I found that link and read it on a neighboring forum...Undisclosed information in the OP of the FS thread.

It's not my duty to pass judgement prematurely, but it is my duty to protect my forum members and unveil all pertinent information...

:thumbup:
Keep it up!

Dude is a cawksucker, I remember that much.

From his GF's instagram he looks like a little rich prick spending mommy and daddy's money.

maybe we start a kick starter for a hit with the mob on him?

I'll donate. Take my money

lmfao

Same price as the K1 kit car? We can see who reaches the goal first lmfao

:icon18: he didnt get $1 in his original one....

No one is LOOOL

I saw, but did not read entirely, several scammer threads on other forums with his name and SN attached in the search query.

Thats him..

There is no other side to listen to. I'm the other guy that got scammed but thank god I didn't listed to that douche & send my money as a gift. However I sent him a total of 2600 USD. I already have a claim with PayPal but they wont refund my money till I send the 90lbs box of junk he sent me which will cost me 350 on top of the 150 I already paid for duties to get it released.

My PayPal receipt & Zorkan's both say payment for V3 in the note section. I have that POS's address & thanks to the links I know what his face looks like. If I ever head that way I'll make sure to drop by. :icon42:

Seller is too much of a pussssy, he wont reply.
His GF will prolly chime in before him, she definitely got bigger balls than that punk.

I spoke before realizing who he was.

I remember this mutt. Best of luck dealing with the situation.

Pictures of the 90lb of junk he sent you? what was in the box? Is there anyone in NJ that could swing by the address listed on his business app to see whats there?

Its a orange warehouse looking building with the shop doors ( just put the address on google) Across the street there's like a bar-looking place.

If anyone passes by please videotape and post! :D

LOL should we friend him on FB

I remember pics from one of his other cons, it looked like a rural property with a lot of trees. The first address shows up registered as a single family home...

Most of the IG photos look like he is doing work out of his home garage. The business location is probably just an ill attempt to throw anyone off his trail. Its probably a local business he used the address of, at least I dont think he would be that stupid to send people his real address.. Just go through the IG photos, you have his picture, his girls picture, his plate for his old orange Z, the new 370Z's temp tag which are traceable by Law enforcement now. He probably bought that 3570Z for his girl with your money from the scams..LOL

He claimed in the last for sale thread that he was moving into a "legit" building. I figured that was the address he registered. I guess my idea of legit and his are very different concepts.

:bowrofl:

I'm just waiting for the sold "as-is" excuse...

He got his girl "AS IS" hight mileage and all..:icon38:

This is why I never trust anyone from New Jersey. And what is the world possessed you to send the money as a gift?

Yes, yes it is the same ****tard with the K1 investment scam.

She was just about to show tits too. I'm sure of it :rolleyes:

:bowrofl:

She's got a nice ass!

unfortunately shes got a typical jersey shore face to go with it.
