[s-cars] Scammer Alert

[bhowell at rmi.net]

In my opinion, he DOESN’T get these cars and parts. That’s the scam. The
parts don’t exist. Why else would he cut off all communication once you
tell him you are local (or have someone local) and you want to come pick
them up. If you were selling a S6 motor and someone local told you they
would come to your house with cash in hand and pick it up with a truck,
would you sell it to them? Or would you sell it to someone who was
thousands of miles away and you had to crate the motor and you had to
physically take it to a trucking company? All things being equal, seems
like a no brainer really....unless all you are hoping for is the person who
is thousands of miles away, sending you money and you never plan on
shipping the motor.  

As for COD shipping, why does HE care how much it costs? If the buyer is
paying for it, why should it matter? Again, it’s a third party coming
between him and your money and that doesn’t work in a scam. Especially,
when the parts probably don’t even exist in the first place.

The RS2'd S4 he sold was more than a bad head gasket. It burned a hole in a
piston and would have required major amounts money to repair at a
shop....and when you are (allegedly) an 18 year old punk kid who scams
people on the internet, you usually don’t have that kind of money laying
around! 

That’s my $0.02!

Just where does he get all these cars and other goodies like RS2 turbos and
manifolds and ECUs and software, and be able to sell it all for so cheap.  
  there has been one occasion documented that states a transaction has
fully gone through in a legit manner.  I expect that if people have
actually had good interactions with this seller they would have stepped up
to say so by now, this has not once happened.
   
  I am not accusing the man of being a scam artist (he's lacking the
creativity), but he does appear to be awfully distrustful at this moment in
time.
   
  I had been talking through email with him about purchasing the RS2 turbo
and manifold for $800 and he was ready to deal as was/am I.   with my
knowledge of his reputation I was too hesitant to send him a check, so I
had asked for COD delivery, which he responded by saying was too expensive,
but he also said he was open to other options.   I then made arrangments
with a friend to make the deal in person, and told Jared who has not since
responded to my attempts at contact
   
  but still my question is where all these things are coming from?  how
many URS cars does he own, and if he has the ability to own this many of
them should'nt he also be able to manitain or fix any one of them when it
breaks, like that RS2'd S4 he sold cause the HG went bad.  he told me the
turbo and manifold are off his car he recently wrecked.
  just sounds fishy
   
  thats my 2 cents--it's too damn Fishy--there should be no question--if
he's not a scammer than he's real dishonest
   
  why not just everyone on the list flood all his email accounts and voice
mail till he pulls his sh*t off the internet or comes clean, I like to
complain too but actions are louder than words
   
  sorry for the lenghy response, I have just finished my PITA rhetorical
writeing class and semester, feels good to be free
