Who know's "jeffreybacons"? (Must read, NJ e30 SCAMMER)

That's too bad, hope you can undo your transaction, assuming he's a scammer. I was kinda sketchy about this guy from the start. He was selling highly sought after parts for dirt cheap, yet his for sale threads kept popping back up. When he posted about his dad dying, that should have been another red flag, but, most wouldn't want to call a guy out on that, just in case it really happened. Anyway, sorry to hear about this situation, let us know how it turns out, and definitly post something in the feedback section.

he asked me to send payment to him as a gift to avoid PayPal fees. Sounds a little shady to me...

We should all know better than to send payment as a gift. If a seller won't eat the 3% (even though it really should be factored in to the price), I'll just pay it.

In my experience from buying and selling parts for the past three years, the overwhelming majority of folks on this board are honest folks, and treat their fellow forum members how they'd like to be treated. But we don't get a new thread in the General Discussion forum every time someone has a good transaction.

Alright, tell us the story.

It probably starts off something like "So this guy responds to my WTB thread saying he has a set of mint Startecs he'll sell me for $300 shipped..."

Alright, tell us the story.

Good thing I didn't get that moonroof setup from him...he asked me to send payment to him as a gift to avoid PayPal fees. Sounds a little shady to me...

looks like I got f*cked

you asked us a question but went ahead and did it before given an anwer..sooo idk good luck with getting that back

Since I am at work and I am supposed to be working, I took the liberty at looking at the three threads he has posted. Looks like a scammer, as all threads have been locked after users dug up some dirt on him in other forums.

[iamsam]

So did you post this thread after already doing business?

Don't do it! He has been banned. He is prolly a scammer.

[iamsam]

have you searched the feedback subforum?

EDIT: I just did for you, no results.
