I've been scammed by a fellow member on this Forum. I set up a deal to purchase his shocks, I sent the money and he ghosted me. In hindsight all the warning signs were there but I did not do my usual due diligence. Lesson learned.

I want this POS banned from this forum before he can scam anyone else. I've attached his info here.

@Administrator How to get rid of this guy?

Could be he suffers from HDS--Honesty Deficiency Syndrome. It's become pandemic. As a matter of fact, I think I saw his BD parked in the "Reserved For the Morally Handicapped" parking space.

Sorry about your misfortune. Hope my weak joke helps...a little...:cry:

So, let me be sure I follow. You sent money to a “member” who just joined and has never made a post; now you want to ban the site Administrator?

With all of the news about scams and online shadiness, yet it’s that person’s fault.

Take some responsibility here man. No need to ban anyone, we’re not going to fall for that from such a profile.

He wants the Admin to ban the user that allegedly scammed him.

Just request your money back from Paypal. Admins can't get your money back nor will they ban someone simply because you asked. You'll need to provide them proof he scammed you in order for that to happen.

In the mean time, just contact Paypal and file a dispute. Youl'l get your money back

OP if it makes you feel better everyone who purchased hardtops from ADV got scammed too.
Thankfully it was "only" $650. Not a small amount but it could have been worse.

I did "Friends and Family", which I've done dozens of times without issue. Refund is not an option. Again, lesson learned.

OOOF. NEVER ever use Friends/Family. There is a reason people ask for Friends/Family. Because you can't file a dispute now. That was a BIG red flag when he asked for money as friends/family.

File a credit card dispute instead, unless you did a bank transfer (which I NEVER do, always have PayPal hooked to a CC where the funds come from).

Did you read my post? I took full responsibility. I just don't want anyone else getting scammed. I'm looking out for everyone else. That was the whole point of my post.

He’s askin for the scammer to be banned to look out for the rest of us which they should be banned hell I got points or whatever they call it the other day for calling California something else fornia said it was under the “no politics” rule there was absolutely no thoughts of politics involved in my mind 🤷‍♂️

Never use F&F. Just agree to add the PP fee if someone asks you to pay F&F.
