        That guy sounded legit, I was supposed to send him some estimates on upholstery work. Now I'm wondering if he was going to try to scam me, by paying for the products and then making a paypal claim.

          Had Indiana as his location. But IP out of Texas. Also if I dug deeper I bet he may tie in with the other scammers I banned not to long ago.

                  Back in May a friend got beat by him (jeffreybacons username) at the time for $300 for yellow euro smileys. Never took the drive to Jersey cause honestly he's 19, we're not teenagers, he'll get hurt. So it kinda doesn't get brung up around the shop. Until a couple days ago i seen his f/s ad post on e30tech FB page. I got a pic of him, his black vert, his parents current address etc. I called him out on this and this is where we're at now. Hope nobody got took by this kid. I'm just looking out for the r3v community and not this piece of shit.

                      Does the legal system have no recourse for this type of fraud or is there just not enough tangible evidence?

                      Seems like with all the people he scammed someone would have pressed charges. I mean, ya'll have his personal info and plenty of people coming forth with fraudulent experiences with the guy...plus the extensive "documentation" of his activity here on this site and others. If i had been scammed by the creep i would have taken action by now.

                            He PM'd me asking for my old elements, switches and wiring loom. Said he wanted to make a copy of the original to sell. All I'd have to pay was the shipping.

                            When I took him up on the offer, he said he changed his mind and decided to offer the universal set to me for $110 bucks for wiring, switches, and pads.

                            I never responded. Asshole said it would be shipping charges only. flakey bastard!

                            hey i was wondering if you'd like to help me test a set.
                            I would just need you to send me your switches wire harness and connectors from your fried pads and i will re create the loom wire up new pads and ship it back out to you. I would only need about $30 for shipping and a few small things. In the end you get a new set of heated seats for $30! Let me know if you'd be interested

                            thanks

                            Sorry but, I have decided to go a different route with this kit and how i plan on testing. If you would like to just purchase the seat pads themselves to use with your oem harness i can send you a set of (4) (2 per seat) for $70 otherwise you can just order a whole kit for $110 with a whole new harness and switches.

                                Hate to say but how much got dug up back in May with his scamming, there's probably more people out there that fell victim to this. If anybody needs i have pics of him, his car and liscense plate #, and his current address which is his parents house. LMK.
