Exclamation Do not deal with Automaticfastic or fastbody: SCAMMER ALERT

They are one and the same person and he is a lying thief.

Both accounts have the same email chadstevo420@hotmail.com

I bought an LS6 intake from fastbody and he never shipped it nor did he answer any emails or IMs.

I googled the email and found his other account here "Automaticfastic".

They are the same person: Chad Strawn of Converse, San Antonio, Texas.

All of this info I found on the forum. I have not posted anything he has not.

I have sent all the IMs to mods and have not heard back, it's easy to check IP address so they can lock and delete this if I'm wrong, but I'm not.

I have a paypal dispute open at this time, he has refunded my money but it has not cleared yet.


DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS GUY!!!!

In another thread he stole a pic off the net of a Meziere water pump and said:"I just took this."

I got my money back through paypal but I would not deal this guy.

where did you send payment? paypal? money order?

i got my money refunded.... i believe he is trying to frame someone else because when i put a complaint in a paypal the guy said that fastbody was using his email address and having people send money there... the guy refunded my money. Dont know if they are one in the same person or not but i got my money back regardless. have you filed a dispute?

Doing some digging around - numerous posts for both users show numerous matching IP addy's. In particular the same day in the AM of 2/22/08 both IP addresses were the same. The coincidence of that is about as much as me winning the lottery.

Email addresses do not match.
Sign up dates do not match.
No location given for either member on sign up.

Hope you all got phone numbers and other information as both will be banned/restricted. Once that happens they/he does not have access to PM.

Everyone forgot links to the sale. ALWAYS INCLUDE THEM. If a member is banned you cannot find them on member search!
