I don't see the point in scamming someone if paypal is going to take his money away anyways.....someone please clarify this for me

Let's see, where do I start?

He was originally banned for selling a part to someone and not shipping them the item, he keeps rejoining the forum even though if you're banned for scamming you are not allowed to rejoin

He has also repeatedly made bogus threads here and other places giving false information i.e. saying a replica exhaust or bodykit are authentic and trying to charge the authentic price for them

At the end of the day even though he has been banned over a dozen times from this forum if people still choose to do business with him they are doing it at their own risk or are just being ignorant, all we can do is put the word out

The scammer is back but on the 370z forum, this is what his POS looks like today:



I did some digging and it looks like he scammed someone while selling a set of GT-S's by selling them locally but still taking a Paypal payment for the wheels to be shipped to someone else and ended up never shipping the wheels and pocketed the money

AGAIN, I do not recommend conducting any business with this guy at all, he is really, really shady

I don't know if that's the same guy...probably the same wheels. He's a member on here since 2010:

The wheels in this photograph used to be a set of white Volk G2 type- II's that I owned that I traded this kid. He initially contacted me on my for sale thread saying that he had "Immaculate" volk gt-m's with brand new tires to offer for trade. After we conversed through text message he told me that he had seen gt-m wheels go for 2900$ even though I have still not seen an ad where they had sold/gone for that much other than my own. I met him at a local shop and we traded wheels. I didn't inspect the wheels very much since I gave him the benefit of the doubt and assumed they were in very good condition, and only glanced over them briefly. I could tell they were not perfect as he had stated though, but I figured it was no big deal. When I looked at them more closely they had small rashes and blemishes on most of the wheels and one lip had a small ding. They would still be considered decent condition by most people and still usable and presentable, but they were simply nowhere near the condition described. I suppose it was my fault for not inspecting them closer.

Fast forward several months until today and I get contacted from the same guy at a new number.(619-792-4457) He asked if I wanted to trade 18 inch enkei rpf1's that were brand new including tires and said he's seen them go for 2-2.4k. He wanted to do a straight trade but I told him i'd need at least 1k cash on top. He then proceeded to tell me that volk gt-m's were selling for 1500-2000 on craigslist MAX. A quick search on craigslist turned up a set of volk gt-m's going for 2500 in the same specs as mine. I then searched his number on craigslist and saw that he was selling the enkei's for 1500 OBO when he was telling me they go for 2-2.4k. I confronted him about this and he began to respond by cursing and calling me racially degrading things. He then finally revealed that he was the same guy on driver who did the dishonest initial trade with me for the Gt-m's.

One trend i've noticed is that he always seems to have "brand new tires", but in some cases they will be the worst tires on the market, so bad that some people would rather not drive than drive their cars with those tires. His style of speech also suggests that his education level is below that of a high school graduate.
His username is stillenz1990 on driver.

The user "NoBDrivER" is probably the same guy since he is selling the white Volk G2's I used to own.

The car pictured in his FS thread is very similar to the riced out one in the previous post but he has probably just changed a few parts here and there.


The major red flag was that NoBDrivER stated that:

When the wheels were not powdercoated by him, they were that color when I traded them off.

The person selling the white volks also has a similar writing style.
