This user "DShelley" is PM'ing WTB ads telling you to email him he has what you want under the email address davshelley951@gmail.com

He blatantly stole pictures of brand new CCW's and said they were his for sale, but a reverse image search shows they were for sale by someone else for more than double what he was asking.

Then when asking the offsets he copy and pasted my WTB ad and could not provide any other pictures when asked for proof.

 

He is trying to sell me a ls2 oil pan

 

Yeah I watched his activity on here for about 20 minutes, and he was just going through every WTB in order, one by one, sending PM's to everyone wanting something I'm assuming.

 

He told me his paypal was hibernating and wanted me to send him money via money gram or western union. His prices drop everytime he emails me lol

 

I need to patent and figure out a way to send a lightning bolt through an email, so when the scammer opens his email a lightning bolt hits him in the face. Damn scammers need to be shot.

 

Some helpful tags that'll come up in a google search for people:

davshelley951gmailcom, parts, camaro, LS1, LS2, mustang, race, scam, nigeria, western union, paypal, money gram, scammer, scammers, wtb ads, someone euthanize these guys, shotgun blast/kick in the ***

 

This is a great reminder that if someone is offering something up that seems at all to easy or good to be true, a simple google search yields great results.
Interesting story, I was selling a brand new LS2 intake on here and got a PM from a gentleman who just signed up on here the same day, so zero feedback or posts asking about my info and stating he needed it shipped to Florida and then it would be getting shipped to Africa. So of course 50 red flags went off and I immediately suspected obvious scammer. But actually a google search of his username took me to to two south african car related websites that showed him as a regular poster and as having a positive trader feedback. I proceeded with the sale after he payed my asking price with paypal, shipped it out and all was good.

 

This is the BS he sent me lol.

he told me he was in indiana and i said i would drive to him to pick up the part and no response

 

Several things are very important if you think you have been scammed.

1. if you mail him a check or money order it is mail fraud if he does not send your parts.
2. If you think you have been scammed PRESS CRIMINAL CHARGES!!!!!!!!!!! that is the only way to shut the *** holes down.

 

This all sounds good, but if you have been scammed and tried to go to the post office or local police and tell them you were scammed out of some money for some car parts and you sent the money western union or money gram to some address in the U.K. they will all look at you like "I cant believe people are still do dumb"

Do you think they are going to spend more than three minutes taking your information and saying we will call you when we know something?

They could care less because they know they have "0" chance of catching these people, and the scammers know this, that is why they keep doing it.

 

Please read what I said, "IF YOU SENT A CHECK OR MONEY ORDER THRU THE US POSTAL SERVICE", I said nothing about western union or money gram! The whole point I'm trying to make is if you don't take steps to shut the *** holes down they just screw the next guy and sleep fine at night.

Everyone wants to **** and moan about getting screwed but they don't do crap about trying to shut them down. Posting on here is fine but what about the poor sap that either isn't on here or just misses the warning? It might not get your money back but it might prevent someone else from loosing there hard earned money.

I have been screwed beforw, and yes I did everything I could to shut the ******** down! One time the prosecuter offer the jerk the opportunity to make restitution which he did and I got my monet back the other time the jerk went to jail!

So don't **** and moan DO SOMETHING!

 

Well I agree with you in theory, but I think if you sent a postal money order you are even worse off, have you tried dealing with the people at the post office lately? They are all pissed off because now they actually have to work and 3 guys have to do the jobs of 6 guys, in the old days they had 10 guys doing the jobs that 3 guys could do.

The majority if these scammers as this one seem to be coming from the U.K.
And they don't want postal money orders, thy want electronic transfers such as western union and money gram.

Sounds like your dealing were with some local scumbags that are just dumb and dishonest, the scammer above are more sophisticated and send out thousands of email scams at the same time and hope to get a 5% hit on the emails thy send out, they do it for a living 24/7
