Default c5racer Seems Fishy! (e-bay type scam?)

I looked up C5racer's past posts and found that many of the items he had listed for sale were labeled as "new". I was interested in the McLeod adj. master he had for sale and upon e-mailing him with my inquries, this is the response I got:

Actually I have to get rid of them to make space in my garage. I closed my paypal account due to unauthorized fradulent charges. I can do a money order or camarokid on ls1 tech western unioned the money and I shipped it today and gave him the tracking number. I always provide a tracking number with my shipped products. Actually if you want to western union it, it costs 22 dollars but if you want to go out of your way to do that, I will still sell for $160. Just incorporate the fee into the price. That's what camarokid and I agreed on. It worked out just fine. Let me know. Thanks for the reply. Have a good night.

Sean

This really reeks of the recent scams being pulled on e-bay. Has anyone actually bought anything from ths guy?

Once a Western Union money transfer is picked up , you have no recourse . It does smell a little fishy. I'd keep looking for another seller or have it sent COD.

I agree. Never, never send money like that for parts or services. Lots of scams going on right now using Western Union and such. COD or nothing.

I sent him a pm about a mcleod twin disk clutch. His posts says $600 new WTF?? Thought it was a great deal at first and then looked up his past posts. Don't think i'll be dealing with him.

Default Your loss not mine!!!!!!!!

I understand you guys think I am shady and just out to hustle some good people out of money, but you're WRONG!!!!!!!!!! I have dealt with a couple of people already and have had no problems. So go ahead and doubt me but once I build some good references on this forum, you'll be singing a different tune.

Note that slowdawn has 3 posts. Evidence.. but not solid. I'm not a doubter, just happened to browse across the thread and this is what I'd be thinking. Besides, if c5racer were legit.. why would he act like hes not going to hook us up because we doubt his completely fraudulent sounding story. Any legit seller would be happy to show proof. I'm not buying the whole story until some real proof comes.

Peace,
Josh

That's cool Distortion. I know everybody's entitled to their own opinion. There is two things that will prove I am legit and that is time and feedback. Just watch as time goes by my feedback will increase. Just keep sitting on your chair of skepticism watch everybody else get "hooked" up.

If you are not out to scam. Why not provide another way of payment? Open up a new Paypal account, etc.

I was laughing at that too. Seriously, "You'll see my feedback grow in time".

Translation:

"Okay, who wants to be my first sucker before I high tail and run?"

He says his name is Sean Light. I don't know the point of origin because I never got past the part of the deal where he said just Western Union the money to me and I will send out the McLeoud Master Cylinder. So then I asked him to COD me a McLeoud Master Cylinder and I never heard from him again. I just think that he is shady!

I think he's an idiot too because he can't spell. If I had to guess, I'd say he is posting up as "Slowdawn." Which leads me to wonder, how in the hell could someone screw up and put an a where an o should be? The keys are on the other side of the keyboard. Then he put, "so for" when it should be so far. This guy has his a's and o's bassackwards. Don't buy from this guy!

MikePS Say Jay is that steak good!


I find it odd that this guy is buying all his stuff, only has 5 posts, feels the need to update us on every purchase, and found his way to this thread.

I almost bought a shifter from him but backed out once i found out he would only take WU money transfers. Later I found out that his paypal was suspended due to fraud. You have to be proven 3 different times in order to get that suspension. Fraud .... I dunno, didnt take the chance.


Heres a little info i got
