Someone needs to teach that fool a lesson that will never be forgotten.

i guess i got a little lost at the end. but thats cool i hope hes not saying that im a scammer, and he said that he was waiting on a check to pay me back, but i can remember everything he has told me. first off about someone getting on his paypal account or whatever he told me he works with computers, so thats a definite lie, how could you work on computers and not stop someone from doing that, so yeah. second he did tell me he had a friend but was in the army reserves he sent my fog lights to him instead of sending him the honda lights he ordered. third he said he had extra lights that he could send me fourth has no tracking number for me to look for the lights the one he gave me was a fake it was the tracking number for the money i sent on paypal i think. but yeah i agree honestly i dont want to buy anythign else on here from anyone that just makes me more cautious to buying things now.

any sign of that refund yet?

[zfjohnson07]

his phone was on last night i talked to him he was like well someone messed up my paypay so now its negative 250. i was like well how long until i get my refund and he was like 2 or 3 days as soon as they get their packages i sent because someone talked **** on me on a honda website and banned me because im a scammer and now im pissed off. and i was like well i just need my money im sorry. he was lwell 2 or 3 days and i was like welll that would be great. pretty much whatever you have talked about on this topic he told me his "friend on his paypal screwed it up" "the fog lights were lost" i know thats bs but yeah if i have to i'll go visit florida and get my money back myself i dont care

[Nartanian]

Please do go there. Can you post the guys paypal email address? I'm curious to know if it James or not.

[zfjohnson07]

[95CelicaST]

That's the email address he gave out for his HID kit sale here under the username "projectinprogress".


Any refund yet?

[zfjohnson07]

[ajmorris1977]

[95CelicaST]

He doesn't have a Celica for you to take parts from - he apparently drives an EF Civic.


Edit:

For a dude that lives on a golf course, he sure has a money shortage problem...

I also wanted to add that those of you who he has scammed I urge you to call the local Police Department in New Port Richey and tell them. Some guy was scamming over on NASIOC and because of the victims calling a local detective he was arrested and charged with a dozen or so felonies.

A few months ago, I was scammed (along with several other members here) by a member named "STiKindaGuy".
I was taken for an STi steering wheel, other members were taken for wheels, a turbo, and many other items which we all paid for an never received.

I took it upon myself to go after this guy and started doing some research.
I found out which chapter he frequented (This One), posted up a notice on this forum and within a few hours got a reply which pointed me in the right direction for who this guy really was.

Armed with that information, I started sending PM's to all the other members I could find who replied to the for sale threads this scammer (StiKindaGuy) had posted, and I asked those members for some personal information which I then forwarded to a detective in this guys home town.

That detective and I worked together over the next several weeks putting together as much information as we could gather, and today I am happy to report that I received the following email from Detective Sean Lundry up in Oregon:

[B][B]"I wanted to let you know that I have arrested and charged Chance Graham in relation to this case. He was charged with two counts ID Theft, one count of Theft 1, and Computer Crime. All of these are felonies in Oregon. He will most likely be going to prison for a period of time based on his past criminal convictions. He was using Riggs name without his knowledge. If you want to pass this on to the other victims in this case, by all means do so. If you have any questions feel free to call or e-mail. Thanks for your assistance"

BIG UPDATE BIG UPDATE BIG UPDATE 2-21-2010

I just received word from the DA’s office that they are going to charge Graham with ten counts ID Theft and six more counts of Aggravated ID Theft. Just thought you should know that this is getting dealt with. The ID Thefts are C felonies and the Agg ID Thefts are B felonies.

I just thought I would pass along how a little due diligence and, willingness to do some footwork resulted in a scammer being nailed to the cross.
I feel good about this, I hope that guy gets the book thrown at him, because including myself, he scammed Nasioc members out of more than $7,000.00 total.
Hopefully for him......it was worth the year or 2 he will spend watching his back in federal prison!

[zfjohnson07]

dang thats crazy!

[Nartanian]

For quick accessibility/research reasons, I have posted some history on this guy as well as those that were scammed by him. Fortunately for me, I was one of the lucky few that didn't loose out on money, but many others did.

Douche. Never in my life have I heard of someone having so many problems with UPS, USPS, and Fedex. I bet all shipping companies are out to get him, so they lose all of his shipments.... Right.


I suggest compiling information from the people he ripped off under "projectinprogress" and this name, including purchase details, names and numbers, and contacting his local PD and let them pay him a visit. Its time we stopped giving him the benefit of the doubt. Any decent person would not be giving out their paypal info to anybody - friend or not.

[zfjohnson07]

yeah and like i said he is in the air force and works on computers.. so we know thats a bunch of crap how could he not stop that. and paypal would also send him an email everytime anything is done on paypal. i'll give him this week and then i'll call the cops..

Why wait? It is clear to me that this guy is just scamming. The quicker you act the better chance you have of getting your money back, and getting this guy to stop scamming people for good. The more time you give him the more he can clean up his act....
