Anyone know David Shelley?

[bruner]

Just wondering if anyone knows a guy named David Shelley. His email is: lyle_kaiser@yahoo.com. I bought some parts from him and havent heard from him in 2 days so I'm just wondering if anyone knows him. Thanks guys!

uhhh, why would a guy named David Shelley have an email address with a completely different name? what did you buy from him?

[bruner]

Oh that was his other email. He has another email that matches his name. I supposedly bought a set of euro bumpers from him, but now I realize he probably never even had a set

Do you have a link to his for sale thread? Or did he answer a wtb thread you put up? If the ladder is the case there have been a lot of scammers going that route lately.

Pretty sure you got scammed if he emailed you through wtb.

[nugentnsb]

how did you pay him? paypal?

[MR 325]

File a PayPal claim now!

Let me guess... You sent it as a gift?

[bruner]

Yeah I sent it as a gift. I can't file a PayPal claim since I sent it as a gift right?

[nugentnsb]

nope, you dun goofd

[nugentnsb]

thats why you always check for feedback etc, and always use paypal

Is the guy a member on here?

You really need to post more info if you want help

I looked at OPs WTB thread. 10 hrs ago he bumped his thread asking "anyone?" OP then starts this thread 12 hrs ago saying he bought bumpers from "scammer" and hasn't heard from the guy in 2 days...doesn't make much sense to me.

Why would he bump his thread asking for euro bumpers if he already bought them from someone else?

2 days or 2 hrs?

Not to hijack OPs thread but can someone explain to me how I should be buying stuff via the forum? I already bought from someone locally from a FS/FT thread but I was also looking into buying some stuff from some other threads not locally. Should I pay with paypal as non-gift ? what is a feedback thread? do I need one as a buyer?

[Poorboyz]

Look into the sellers profile, do a search on sellers handle, do a Google search on the seller in case he uses the same name on another forum.

Never EVER send money as gift on Paypal...EVER. If the seller requests money be sent as gift it should be first red flag. Even if seller has pictures of it..ask for some detailed picture of a certain section of whatever item you're looking to buy, if he has item and is serious about selling he will take picture for you, if he doesn't have item you won't get picture.
