any input at all? i really need some help guys

he did pay you to start with though? so pretty much he kept the money that he gave you initially... I would try explaining the situation to paypal since really they are the only ones that can do anything... and def say that he received the item but he filed the claim before he even got it because of his impatience... should be good after that

i believe my sales of stickers went okay with him

hmm...what did the administrators say about this? im kinda worry too now for my sake and yours...i just sent money to a user here too, but having got his message back yet on regards of items being sent...i bought the clock and the power antenna from him, but then again i don't want to jump to conclusions....hopefully you get what's yours in the end, best of wishes...

Internet fraud

Internet fraud is any act committed via the internet whereby the offender willfully intends to deceive another in order to secure financial gain at their expense. The internet provides a global marketplace for both consumers and businesses. Unfortunately, criminals recognize this as an opportunity to exploit both consumers and businesses via internet fraud.

Internet fraud is one criminal offense under the larger umbrella of consumer fraud. The United States federal government estimates that eleven million Americans became the victims of consumer fraud in the year 2003 alone. In an effort to reduce internet fraud, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has teamed with the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C) in developing the Internet Fraud Compliant Center (IFCC). The IFCC was renamed the Internet Crime Compliant Center (IC3) in December of 2003 to reflect the broad character of criminal activities that can take place via the internet.

The IC3 gathers internet fraud complaints from consumers across the nation and alerts the proper authorities to internet fraud reports. In 2004, the IC3 received more than 270,000 internet fraud complaints, an increase of 66 percent from the previous year. Of these internet fraud complaints, over 190,000 were referred to the appropriate agency for further investigation. The average loss to each internet fraud victim averaged just under $220, totaling over $68 million for all internet fraud complaints reported that year.

Internet fraud involving auctions was the most widely reported internet fraud, accounting for 71 percent of reports received by the IC3 in 2004. Other top internet fraud offenses include: non-delivery of merchandise or payment, credit or debit card fraud, check fraud, investment fraud, confidence fraud, and identity theft. The two primary mechanisms for internet fraud contact are email and web pages. More than two-thirds of all internet fraud victims report having contact with the perpetrator by email and 24 percent had contact through a website.

There are many ways that consumers can avoid becoming the victim of internet fraud. Tips are available from the IC3 and other consumer groups working to fight internet fraud. Educating yourself about any monetary transaction (i.e. auction or sales purchase) pursued via the internet is crucial to avoiding internet fraud. Business via the internet should only be conducted with legitimate and reputable organizations over secure websites. Never give out financial information unless the site is secure and reputable. Be aware that some websites might appear to be legitimate, when they are not (internet fraud known as "phishing").

The act of internet fraud is both a tort action (civil offence) and a criminal offense. This means that the victim of internet fraud has the legal right to seek compensatory damages from the internet fraudster. Internet fraud is also a serious criminal offense that is prosecuted to the full extent of the law. A person convicted of internet fraud can face incarceration, heavy fines, restitution, probation, community service, and more.

It sucks, but it happens sometimes. Hey, didnt punkuup5150 just buy a CF hood from DJ? Good luck with that man, maybe you will succeed where the rest of us have apparently failed. I just font see how someone who has or is still having problems buying/selling still allowed to buy/sell. Im not saying that DJ is a bad person, just a horrible merchant. I think the best thing to do would be to blast any Buy/FS post the guy (or girl?) puts up. I'll be keeping watch as much as I can.

oh i hope it comes in i woudl really hate to have to seek legal action against him thats why i was searching for that stuff about internet fraud,grandtheft i hope it all goes ok

Well, I hope you get the hood. I just find it odd a guy who left this post

would turn around and screw other people on the site.

One thing real quick, how many diffrent emails does one person need to have a paypal account? I was told to send the money to mayraperez401@yahoo.com, Nammer(i think that right) was told elperez401@yahoo.com. Anyone else got anything different? Seems weird to have multiple emails attached to one paypal account. Maybe its just me.

dude i like talk to him everyday i know wat im talking about

I bought some shocks and springs from him.
$350
sent him payment on the 1st of may
i've been waiting for almost 3 weeks now, i've messaged him and everything
but he has yet to notify me that he's sent the springs and shocks, I was orginally going to wait a month or so until i posted something, but because you posted this I'm really concerned.
Is there anyone on here that could contact him via phone or something? >_<

EDIT: I sent the money to mayraperez401@yahoo.com as well.

Crazy, I bought a set of springs/struts on 30th Apr They were the Tein springs and KYB struts, right? 300 Dollars? He didnt sell you the same set did he?

http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=58621

your thread doesn't help them...ok so he has a picture that doesn't mean he is shipping it

Sorry to hear you guys got screwed.

well f*ck me
he did sell me the same set for 350
what do we do now lol

That sucks man, Im not too sure about what we can do on this site execpt to let people know who are buying anything from him. As far as the money, you can always file a claim w/paypal (if thats how you paid).
