Is the turbo kit still available? I have cash in hand!

Yep, just paypal it to me as a gift and I'll send it out.

That's funny!!! Not as much as the cartoon, but still very funny.

Find Waldo?

I love how this thread turning into a meme thread.:tup::bowrofl::roflpuke2:

Omg that sh*t is funny

I think he'll do fine in Jail. Even if he drop the soap, i don't think nobody would even go for it. -_- There's the bright side for him in this story :)

Glad you got your money back bro. Bummer you and other forum members had to go through the BS to persuade the return off the money. Although its really cool to see that kind of unity on the forum. :tup:

From dmhenderson summary:
He asked me for a summary and here's what I sent him. Please let me know if I got any part of this wrong:

I'll summarize:

Thief (shaneE90) advertises a prototype HKS 370z twin turbo kit for the 370z for way less money than something like that would be worth here:

He has since edited his posts once he realized we weren't screwing around but the site mods have a revision history shown here:

Thief takes a deposit from forum member DarkJak who put a $1800 deposit down sight unseen via paypal for a turbo kit that by all rights should not exist (and doesn't, as it turns out).

Thief makes excuses about being away from his computer and not able to take pictures and then stops responding altogether. Eventually he tells someone else that he can't take pictures of the turbo kit because it's "on his car". This guy isn't the brightest bulb in the box

Another forum member chimes in and says "hey I bought a brake kit from this guy and had no issues. This becomes important later on:
http://www.the370z.com/parts-sale-pr...ml#post2416262

OP files a paypal claim (lol) but it's probably too late. Not sure if the guy paid with cash or a credit card. If it's the latter, he will likely get his money back. If he paid with funding from a bank account, he's boned:

Thief is revealed to be a guy from Canada (Brandon, Manitoba) named Kristopher Nicholas Hope who doesn't even own a 370z. He owns a 350z and has been stealing from car forums for a long time, He recently moved to Brandon from Winnipeg where he appears to have been incarcerated at least for a short time:
Scammer in Brandon Mb named Chris Malko has a Green 350z
MY350Z.COM Forums - View Single Post - [FS]: Project Mu Forged Sport 6-Piston Front / 4-Piston Big Brake Kit
SCAM ALERT: Kris Malko from Manitoba, Canada who has my PROJECT MU BRAKES - MY350Z.COM Forums

He lives here but the house is owned by someone else - :
DMYTERKO, DON
1060 3RD ST N
BRANDON, MB R7A 2M7
Phone: (204) 726-5135

Turns out the house belonged/belongs to his girlfriend's family. Don Dmyterko passed away in 2011 but his wife and 2 daughters live there. Chris is apparently dating one of the daughters (Tina).

Guy who bought the brake kit from Kris discovers that (surprise surprise) it was stolen from another car forum and returns it to its rightful owner:

Kris has a long list of aliases:
Kris Hope
AKA
Chris Miller
AKA
Chris Malko
AKA
Kris Miller
AKA
ShaneE90
AKA
350zMALKO

Chris is a very ugly dude with a LONG criminal history. Chris has two foreheads somehow. Overzealous "goon justice" types dox the girlfriend and her employer in the same post.

Chris emails OP taunting him and tells him he won't be refunding anything and that he'll cancel all associated bank accounts before any money can be recovered:
http://www.the370z.com/parts-sale-pr...ml#post2424505

Text of email: "Hahaha if you think your going to get your money soon you're sadly mistaking lol Even a evidence against they can't get the money from my bank acc even if you several lawyers they can't go into my bank and take it out so your still out the money till all the stuff is taking down I'm not pay anything this is Canada not the USA SO YOU WILL BE STILL OUT THE MONEY HAHAHA LOSER....SO WHEN ALL THE STUFF IS TAKING DOWN I WILL SEND IT AND TILL THEN YOUR STILL OUT "

I replied: "Nice try"

A lil bit later:
"Watch you'll see no more can go into my back Account and take the money with out me It's against the law I talked to my lawyer There might be a lawsuit Ording need to pay But If don't pay it still can't going to into my bank account I talked to my lawyer and my bank so and till all the stuff is taking down you won't be getting anything"

Here is a picture of his house because car nerds are as bad as goons. Note that Chris' car is in the driveway:

I ask people to knock off the death threats and harassment of the guy's family and contacted you.

DarkJak, did you pay by credit card or from your bank account?

You're ****** in the head. Nobody cares if you can "smoke" a lot of us guys with your car

Shows how much of a brain you have.

this guy is an idiot "if i send everyone's money back i can't go to jail"

thats like saying, well yea officer, i punched that dude in the face, but i put a band-aid on it afterwards so i cant get assault charges....



dude, i kno you may be a little panicky and in over your head right now, but here's a few calming words. Rest assured knowing that you are completely f*cked. you are gonna be seeing a little jail time. that, i can garuntee.


and p.s. orange verts are gay

Oh such a good job you have that you feel the need to scam from others.

Fail? Classified fraudster fails to make getaway | Winnipeg | News | Winnipeg Sun

i just wanna say that this forum gets the best results. the guys on here truly are great.everyone, give yourselves a pat on the back.

nice to be a part of a forum that really has its members backs

You cant say it any better than this..:iagree:

Kris, I have a question for you? Is your spelling and grammar really THAT bad? Or are you actually correctly typing everything exactly as you think it? Do you really talk like that in person?

In my head he sounds like Mongo from Blazing Saddles.

or sloth from the goonies

I'm fairly certain Kris has some sort of genuine mental defect. At any rate, we've done what we can and it's in the hands of others now. Either they'll go after him or they won't but I'm fairly certain we've done everything we can to see that they do.

They've certainly been given enough ammunition to. I don't think there will be any more updates unless you see ol' Kris in the news. If they don't go after him, maybe this experience will serve to show him that there are very real and immediate consequences for being a thief - even online.

Ah yes, citing the venerable legal precedent of "no backsies"

ahh yes i remember that case.

Dumb v. dumber case iirc.

an excerpt from that precedent:

"You can't triple stamp a double stamp...You can't triple stamp a double stamp...Lloyd, Lloyd...You can't triple stamp a double stamp!!!!"



powerful... moving stuff...

Lionel Hutz - his name brings back memories...RIP.

LOL this thread is WINNING!!! very glad OP got his money back.

There needs to be a sparksnotes for this thread or a hall of shame thread to warn future scammers that they will not be tolerated and a nice cold plate of forum justice will be served if they try

:iagree::iagree::iagree:

This has happened before with similar outcomes on this forum, but those threads have been removed.

I personally think they should be stickied for all to see as a warning. We will see what happens to this one.

:iagree:

I agree. This thread would be a pretty effective deterrent. Retitle it "don't be this guy, if you're even thinking of scamming read this first"

Shoot Triple or AK a PM.

Its actually a really good idea.

hey come on now i proposed that like 10 pages back so i get naming rights and I'm sticking with "Scammers, Read this first or you will be F'd in the A"

or "Do you want a loose butthole like this guy?"

A forum I frequented in the past, pirate4x4, has a collection of complete train wreck threads under a title of Classics or something to that effect. They're looked down so they can't get any worse (not that they could) but are sublocated under the general discussion section. It'd be years later and some douchebags would still get ragged on.

Ive been following this thread the past couple of days and this banana pusher resembles something that didn't make it into "The Hills Have Eyes."

I've learned that people write EXACTLY as they speak. So, yes, he thinks he is doing the goodest English that he am taughted when he be home-schooled.

When he gets to jail, he'll be speaking things like; No, don't put that there, I want my mommy, damn 370Z members :roflpuke2:.

:rofl2:

Make sure the stickied scam-deterrent thread includes other scam-related threads like this one, where justice was served.

http://www.the370z.com/parts-sale-pr...or-covers.html

There's already a "listed scammers" thread - we'd just need the title changed to something a little more attention grabbing.

http://www.the370z.com/parts-sale-pr...hipment-5.html

A number of us had this idea a few threads ago, so you are still a bit late to the party. :p

I PM'ed Trips and AK. We'll see I guess.
