This sounds bad to me...I received a PM from " transamracer " about a FAST intake I'm looking for. I noticed he became a member one day after I listed my thread, and will not use Paypal either. He wants Western Union payment, even when I told him I'd send a Postal Money order, which is as good as cash, so I'm real hesitant on my purchase attempt. Has anybody heard of my guy?? If you then add to his "other" strangeness, he's from Goshen, IN really making it suspicious.
Alright i hear everyone talking about this tidussloan guy... well heres the story about him, i posted a WTB subframe connector and like everyone else he wanted western union and i told him i only have paypal and people get screwed over western union and hes like man i would not do that to anyone i use it for my business which this is what he said "i do have a cell but its a work cell i can only use it to make calls, if u want to talk to me just give me ur number and i can call you. Im not out to rip anyone off man i own a saltwater fish business and use western union almost daily for transactions, western union has all of my information in there system i have a western union gold sellers account with them through my business." yea its fishy bc if you have a work phone why couldnt you call out on it???? how are you suppose to do business..... yea fishy fu** thats what he is, also i gave him my cell # and he never called me once and then he told me that he was selling me a $220 sub frame connectors and i told him they are cheaper than that and this is what he said to me " Fine then go buy them I'm already selling u a pair of 290 dollar connectors for 130 if u don't want them then don't buy them I'm not goin any lower on the price" so if i were you guys i would stay away from this loser.

Guess I can get added to the list of people getting beat by transamracer/Aaron Bean
Got the same story about a set of gears, the guy wouldnt use paypal etc etc I sent him $150 a week ago. Wish I would have checked the negative trader feedback stuff sooner...guess I can kiss that money goodbye now

I had a similar situation happen to me just today. A member named xshawnjones pm'd me about my wtb thread with a stock picture of kooks headers from maryland racing and said he/she didn't have a pic of the actual headers. Then they said they didn't really want to do paypal and went right to Western Union. I'm not sure if this person is one of the seemingly new breed of 'tech scam artists, but they just joined this month and only have 3 posts and no trader rating. I had to turn him/her down, just not worth the risk.

Think I found where he really works at, Best buy the name and address he give me I looked it up on Facebook and Callen Lowe come up so I looked up he's info and it is the same as the info he give me. It says he works at Best buy so Im about to call down there tomorrow and find out! Also I sent him a message on FB asking where the F--- my intake was and I was gonna find him!! an hour later his reply was on his wall "I mash tatters like I mash hatters" any other guy would have sent me a message back saying you have the wrong guy.....
Keep us posted
Call his employer and speak with a manager. Explain the story, they will not appreciate a thief. Of course this will only work if you are certain he is your Scammer.
