If any of you have done business with this individual I would like to request his address so I may process a small courts claim subpoena. His email address is sprisneo@hotmail.com or sprisneo@gmail.com. (Jung Kim) is his name associated with Paypal. He has two accounts BTW JohnkZ and Sprisneo

My claim is also being processed by paypal and the Credit Card company so in the meantime, once this holiday weekend is through I will seek legal counsel.

Below is the link he posted for the item I was trying to purchase.

Note he's also scammed this individual below.

If anyone could provide the requested info that would be appreciated.

 

He bought stuff FROM me locally at the beginning of the year, but we exchanged in a public place. It looks like the second thread has his address?

Best of luck getting your money back.

 

Thats not his address; its already been confirmed. Thanks though.

 

Well than.. Good luck.

 

Thanks... Ill find him.

 

So-
You were buying...what happened and went wrong?

 

Should get the mods in on this to help sort it out.

 

Can you add some more details?

Good luck man and I hope you get your $$ back. I've been scammed before but on eBay. I think PayPal will help you if not the cc will.

He is on a ton of car forums I will post more information that I find later.

 

I purchased the WedsSport wheels on 22 November (Saturday) via Paypal as I didn't have cash on me before we were supposed to meet (0900-1000) that morning. Anyhow I asked if I could pay him via paypal and he said he'd prefer cash. So he responded," if you could transfer the funds now so I could verify it." So I send him the funds as a friend not thinking much of it (dumb move on my part)... And a few texts later he states he's at the prescribed spot to do the exchange. I texted him back and told him I'd be there in ten and once I arrived I didn't see the car he so called was supposed to be in. A few text/calls later I realized that I was scammed and immediately called Paypal to initiate a dispute/claim. Lessons learned on my part... Now Im just asking for assistance from any who would have any info on this guy.

I was a little hesitant to post this but I figure my example would help others into thinking twice about sending funds a friend. Saving a few dollars on a Paypal fee isn't worth it regardless of price. Let my example show you that there are people out there who you would deem honest during conversation become your worst enemy.

 

Just curious, but what exactly should a Mod do in this case? The OP has already done the right thing with PP and his credit card company. Paypal has the account info as well as the scammer's address. Filing a police report in the jurisdiction where the crime took place is a good start. They can get subpoenas and serve them on PP.

As for the scammer's address, I found it within 1 minute using publicly available search engines.

 

I found most of his forums from his name... Im pretty sure I'll find him. My resources will prevail. He's naive to think he can get away with scamming someone in a technological age.

As much as I want paypal/CC to help; I'd rather confront the individual in person to show him that this is a Liam Neeson kind of a world.

 

Prevent future threads, track the scammer, prevent alternate sn and new fs threads, prevent ad changes, provide member support, etc.

There is a mod (pm me if you want to know) who has always been helpful when a member is scammed. Not sure exactly what witchcraft or voodoo magic he uses but progress and results were made.

 

I was actually trying to see if there was anything I'd do differently. The mod staff is pretty good about tracking scammers and keeping an eye on the threads. What you listed is the norm. We got it all covered.

 

Both accounts have been banned

You have his phone number, name and address. You should be able to get Paypal to refund you your money and I would also contact the police if that would help

i just laughed for a good 30 seconds

 

I am the dark side
