Default Anyone Know this Guy....

Well Im not jumping to any conclusions yet but I think this is fraud.
He posted this:
https://ls1tech.com/forums/non-lsx-p...t-cam-kit.html

Well he was really quick to answer when he was trying to make a sale...
But now that he has the money he is nowhere to be found...
My brother sent him the money on Saturday the 4th and He said he would ship this out the same day. Gave my brother a made up tracking number, and ran with the money...

He Said He was from Amarillo.
That's why Im posting here.
Does anyone know this guy, Any help is appreciated.

It was not sent with PayPal. The guy said he didn't like messing with paypal and only took money with western union. I guess that should have a dead give away.
He did pay with a Credit Card. Which he is now trying to get his money back.

That being said, I’ve seen a lot of buyers get screwed over from scammers who use paypal.

Update:
Is looking like everything is going to get worked out...
Thanks to (kenscivic) who also sent money for this, I have alot more information on this guy...He changed his number - got the new number and was able to talk to him...
He said he got in some problems and needed some money, but is refunding the money by friday. I dont think stelling money is the way to fix your problems but oh well...
Now we wait some more...

Mostly fraud takes place through western union. It made be a bit late but for safer future purchases, I would recommend using american express through paypal. You will have the best of both worlds when using this method of payment.
