Sorry to hear that man. I was suspicious when he wouldn't respond to any of my PM's. The pictures did look familiar and someone pointed out they were from Fast325i's post on S14.net. While borrowing pictures doesn't necessarily mean fraud, copying and pasting an entire ad word for word is a redflag. Then I found another username that posted the exact same ad/same pics on r3v back in 2012 and that user was banned by Jason C. Like Jason stated, IP's were from everywhere BUT the states the usernames posted they were in. Carbeater, tell me you didn't send payment as a gift.

Ya I am usualy pretty careful but buying things off the forum but I always check the person other posts, post count, etc etc. You can never be too careful these days.Comment

did you pay with a credit/debit card or from your bank account? or did you pay from money that was already in your paypal account?Comment

As a rule of thumb, never send money to a person who joined the site 11 days ago.

Honestly, I wouldn't even send money as a gift to anybody. LIke previously stated, the 3% should be factored into the price.harry/harout

If you see suspicious adds or it looks too good to be true, PLEASE contact a mod or admin before you buy.
We can usually sort it out before you send your earned cash to a scammer.
We can't read every ad to catch the scammer first. With extra eyes, we will keep them off the site when we know about them.
Like it has been stated before, NEVER send the payment as a gift.seien Sie größer, als Sie erscheinen

Thats a good outlook.. 99.9% of people here and off the forum are good people. Dont let one bad deal sour you. Keep your good attitude and continue to trust others. Going through life skeptical of everyone is no way to live. I hope you get your loot backOriginally posted by carbeater View PostComment

Yes, he's getting smarter, or shall I say, his tactics are evolving. His banter with Blackout was fairly convincing that he was legit. Beware.sigpic
