Watch out for 2fast2furi0us - a scamming D bag Watch out for this dude. I threw a thread up saying I was looking for an LT1 WS6 hood (for a friends car). He PM'd me a few days later and said he had one, $700 shipped from Chicago to New York with all of the factory airbox stuff included, hardware, hinges and even a brand new K&N. All of this off of a 97 car that had got its *** taken out going sideways into a tree. I asked for pics. He sent some pretty generic looking ones but whatever. I asked if he could do $500, he came back with $600. The next day he came back with $575 IF I could send the money that day. And then said he would throw in an LS6 intake. So a mint hood and an LS6 for $575 shipped. A little too good to be true. Especially when he told me that he needed a little more room under the hood and bought a cowl, and that he had just clay barred the whole car. Clay barred a wrecked car, which went from being a 97 to a 96 during a LENGTHY text conversation. I tried to call him and he didn't pick up, claimed he was at work. I texted and asked him to take a picture of the intake on the hood of of an LT1 WS6 with a wrecked rear end. He then got belligerent and tried everything he could to convince me he was legit, and that I was being a dick. Claimed he had an electric bill due in the morning. Totally shady. I very nicely said no pics no cash. He said if he was trying to scam me me the pic wouldnt matter and that I was protected by paypal. I told him to send me the specific pics or dont. Obviously havent heard back from him. I dont know what kind of S this guy is trying to run, but I'm not the only one he's tried it on.......

Dunno, but mkm z28 sent him a message about paypal not working. It was a vistor message in the scammers account so I could see it. I PM'd the guy and asked if he bought something from him and he said yeah, so looks like we have our first victim.

If you send paypal as gift, to avoid fees. Paypal will not do a thing for you. You can try to contact your bank but it will be an uphill battle. I just made a purchase on craigslist where a guy asked me to send as gift to avoid fees. I said no way, and opted to add $15 to pay the fees.

Your last recourse is if you used a credit card to pay through Paypal your credit card company will help you, if you used a debit card with Paypal you just learned a very expensive lesson,
