Interesting. It was my understanding that only the receiver could change the delivery address once it was shipped.

 

I never post my number when I sell things on this site. I will give it out after I find someone when we agree to a price or after they send the paypal. I've sold a ton of things on this site and never had a problem. I'm actually in the process of purchasing an item on here from someone.

 

There are a lot of good people in this community I wouldn't think twice about doing business with. You just have to use some common sense.

 

Lol, the spammer has my brothers name... But he doesn't even have a car, it's not him. And he lives in fl

 

I've been in the online trading business for quite some time. I've overseen a lot of trades and have made many myself. There are ways that this never happens to where you have anything to worry about via Paypal and physical shipping orders.


Thanks a lot for posting, it helps to get scumbags like this publically noted, but many times they'll use dump phones and VPN's on their emails and web surfing anyway. To mods/admins, I highly suggest making a registry of all users who have attempted to scam my350z members here or on CL. Traders should search before dealing with anyone, it helps quite a bit on sites like these where high dollar value trades occur.

 

Those would be?

 

I offered to post a guide, but a mod edited it out of my post. I suppose he doesn't want anyone knowing.

 

Well obviously its pretty important to the community. I'd post it regardless or post it elsewhere and post link here.

 

do you not see that his post was edited by sr71 (aka a mod)....

 

You can post the steps to your system here, what you can't do solicit anyone here or advertise for a business. That is what was removed from your post, the direction it was going in was a no no.

 

See trav.

I wasn't advertising for a business. I specifically said in the portion you removed that I'm not posting any links. I simply offered my copious online trading reputation for any mod who questioned my experience to post such a guide.
I don't know cars as well as I wish I did (but far on my way, been-a-studyin') but I know the online market and how to get around just about every scam in the book.

The point is, if I post it on this thread maybe 20 people would see it, that sort of defeats the purpose of writing something like that out.

 

The wheels were on the truck on delivery to the destination through UPS. I called just in time to have the shipment canceled once I came to realize I was being scammed.

 

I did not want to share too many details as this was a personal case that had my lawyer and bank involved.

I just wanted to aware sellers/buyers on this forum and anywhere on the internet about these lowlife scumbag scam artists who have nothing better to do. Please be careful and pay very close attention to details so this does not happen to you.

I have had very good experience buying from other members on this forum and I must've trusted my instincts too much on this one before doing my research.

I'm just glad I got my wheels and money back, but it wasn't easy

 

was his name anthony giambi by chance... ( i might have misspelled last name )

 

I'm prettyyyy sure that the number of people on this forum that do not want to get ripped on paysuck exceeds 20, friend. The info is valuable to your community. Keep the sales/link/business and all that aside so the mods don't cry, and just give us the tips. Thanks

 

Not the forum, but that would view this thread.

I'll post it on Sunday, that's my next day off.

 

Good Information for all. Excellent Post. Glad you didn't get taken.

 

Real bummer was I thought I had these wheels bought over the Labor Day holiday. Was waiting on final shipping charges to be determined when I seen they were posted as sold. I just figured that someone local had came and purchased the wheels. I started searching for other wheels and actually had an offset/clearance question and texted the op. That's how I found out what happened because he said he still has the wheels. Sad thing is that now he doesn't want to ship wheels, so I have no wheels and he has no buyer.. A shame that people have to take advantage of others in an online community. Unfortunately had we firmed up details sooner this whole post would of been avoided and I'd be rocking some sweet wheels by now.
