Default Beware fenderstrat....possible scammer

I've been looking for some parts for some time for my engine build.

Out of the blue this person, fenderstrat from IL, contacts me that he has stuff and needs to sell today, so he'll sell cheap. Photos he sent me look vaguely familiar like I've seen them somewhere else. And the price kept dropping, as long as I would agree to use Western Union to pay him. Then I notice that he's been a member for a whole 4 days.

I decided not to deal with him. Be careful, IMOO, if you do.

In 5 emails this person never left his name. Another red flag. These people really amaze me.

Nice how he picks an old members name. fenderstrat
Used to be a friend of TWS (LT1 Guy), and had fenderbender productions. I'm guessing this new version (of his name) is not the same guy...

He tried to sell me some pacesetter headers with ory for 320. Asked for pics with a username and got a lame excuse about using a friends camera.

23 S Clark St Chicago, IL 60602??
Funny he told me he lived in niles IL.

Once you file the dispute, if he had money in his account, it is locked in there...

well why dont we track this ****** down? internet fraud is a big thing these days, and anytime you send payment to someone you can get there info its not that hard.

infact if you paypaled him you got his email try googling it and the papal is most defiently setup in a account, and we have established his first name is aaron cause western union would not give him the money unless his id matched the name

Good way to weed out the scammers is offer for a friend who lives near the scammer to come by and pick up the stuff and pay cash. Now if I was selling something and I didn't have to package it up and got cash instead of paypal, I'd be all over it. If they refuse, run quickly.

I'm looking to get $200 shipped for them. I accept paypal or you can pick them up im located in northern IL near chicago. The only reason im selling them is because i need slicks and these just wont do it lol, i tried them for the 4 passes and my car just makes to much power for them. They are a great drag radial though my buddies all sware by them for their price and stickyness they all love them there just isnt a drag radial sticky enough to make my car hook lol... Let me know if you are interested i can ship them out asap.




Where in n chicago are you? what size are they? VERY INTRESTED
the rims are 16" and the drag radials are 275/50/16's they fit really nice on camaro and transams i have a set of wheel spacers im going to include as well, you dont need them unless you are running a 3" catback i had a 3" catback on my car and the tire would rub it unless i had these on, same with my buddies transam if you have a 2.5" system they will fit no problem. Im located north of chicago in Niles, its about 20-30 minutes from down town chicago i have no problem shipping them though.
ok I am going to be out that way tomorrow at seven, meeting someone i am buyin o2 extentions from. can you meet me at gene and judes tomorrow at 7?
dang man i would but i work from 8pm - 8pm tomorrow and all week. Could you maybe come next week? Or you could send me the money through paypal and i could have them shipped out tuesday morning to you. Or you could send me the money and i could leave them on my porch and you could come pick them up when your here tommorow :-\
I only give cash to local buyers in person...id be willing to meet up after 8 if that works
well i work from 8pm - 8am could u come earlier?
you are a piece of **** and when and if you have kids i hope they die in front of you!

here is my conversation with him....he thru me a red flag once he kept asking if I wanted it shipped...he hasn't responded to me yet lol
