Scammer @MB World

[shamefulanomaly]

Not sure if you guys have seen this: http://www.mbworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=244457&page=25

Some scumbag scamming car parts got called out on MB World.org Apparently he is a regular on many high performance car message boards. Not sure if he has made his way to rs6.com, but beware. He has stolen well over 10K from board members and I suspect that is just scratching the surface.

The "Cliff notes version.
1. 2 people get sold the same set of wheels. (actually 3...more on that later)
2. They get suspicious and post about it.
3. Perp is found to be a known parasite.
4. Linked to fraudulent ebay auctions.
5. Word spreads, and as info comes out, linked to other frauds involving people in other forums and in the past.
6. People from all over the world, are able to link back to him through IP's and
email
7. He keeps claiming innocense, but then the actual owner of the wheels speaks up. The pics were stolen, no wheels existed for the perp.
8. Buyers in his ebay auctions speak up, and we find he has collected thousands through ebay for the same wheels again, + xenon light sets
and other items.
9. The ownage becomes firm, as the evidence piles up.
10. Photoshop guru's able to strip away white areas blocking the license #'s and they become evident.
11. Attourney's, law enforcement, people working for DHL (the shipper)
all jump in the fray, and the identify and address is found.
12. DHL pull packages off a truck in Texas with the tracking #'s given and finds them not to be wheels, but empty boxes and books.
13. Perp issues refunds to the 2 people on the forum, but too late, and they haven't actually seen the refund yet, supposedly in process.
14. Admins from sites all over the world pool resources and find the many many usernames, email addresses and IP addresses used by the perp, and match them up.
15. A member gets pictures of the actual house with matching cars out front.
16. VIN #'s get run and match those of other info identifying the perp.
17. The evidence speaks. We are waiting for the arrest!

Excellent detective work. Actually, I was recently scammed on ebay. Recovered in full through Paypal but annoyed just the same. So, I say throw the book at this guy.
