Thumbs down magicman327 is a scammer

I stupidly believe this guy an bought some intake manifolds off him. He told me last week he would mail them yesterday (monday 1-9). So at 3 yesterday I sent him a PM asking for tracking numbers for the manifolds, he says he just got home and he was going to mail them, he would send me a tracking number later that night.

Well midnight rolls around and I send him a PM, he reads it and doesnt respond. I sent him another at 1 and he read it and didnt respond.

This guy is a scammer, he says he owns a shop in Detroit? His name "supposedly" is Jack Johnson, but in his earlier posts he says his name is Paul.

Well lets see which Jack Johnson he is, if he is signed up with paypal he has to have a credit card or a bank account with that name so most likely it is his name.

Johnson, Jack (313)794-2838
18421 Greenview Ave
Detroit, MI 48219

OR

Johnson, Jack (313)921-1861
8059 Grinnell St
Detroit, MI 48213

Detroit Plice Department (313) 596-2200
I will be calling them soon with all the information I have on this guy, if anyone knows anything about him please PM me, the more the better.

Sorry for your bad luck guys, but if he's verified with paypal you shouldn't have any problems getting your money back.
I'm from his area originally, and believe me the Detroit PD has bigger fish to fry....

Sorry guys, I've been away from the board for about a week for a viral infection, sorry I didn't see this thread sooner. I am going to try and get in touch with this individual and see whats going on. Please give me an update as to what your paypal dispute situations are, and what the situation is with the police so far - if you've gotten in touch with them.


Also, I've cleaned this thread up a little. No more threats, and keep this clean. I know you're pissed, but no more talking about violence or I'll have to lock this down - which helps nobody. Please keep it clean.
