Mr&Mrs · 07-28-2013, 02:22 PM

Im not sure if I posted in here or not but I have been following it since day one. I knew this was a scam by the title, HKS TT Kit......only one and I doubt this douche has it.

Hope all parties get taken care of in the proper ways......

Posting classified threads should be more strict. Seller should have to be premium members, certain number of post count, a certain registered date etc.

Something like this is a good idea.

True. Def a pic with the item and username is a great idea also. I have bought a few things from members haven't got burned yet.

Well I take that back EVO-R have yet received my diffuser.

Figure a IP addy would un-cover alot of information about a person. They track your IP addy on this forum.

Unless they use a proxy, but these scammers seem to be pretty dumb when it comes to hiding their tracks.

I thought the pic/username thing was already a requirement for big ticket items.

red2010z · 07-28-2013, 03:10 PM

well if that is the case why didn't the MOD step in and give him the option to post a pic with the item or delete the post.

I don't know if it is required. But if it is not it should be.

Chuck33079 · 07-28-2013, 03:14 PM

It looks to be one of those things that's "required" but not enforced.

Trips is usually quickly on top of it, making sure the forum rules are met. I think this may have gotten out of hand before he, or another forum member, had a chance to say something.

Personally I set my own rules and do my own due diligence. Things I look for when purchasing include, but not limited to,

Current, clear high res photos of the item for sale
Post count, join date of member, general forum participation
Accurate item description
Speed of response during communication either by PM or posts in sale thread

If these simple things are not met, I won't give the item a second look. I realize this doesn't help with the current situation but maybe it will help going forward.

I suggest we do the pic rule like the rest of the forums do.

Every item you list for sale have to be photographed with your name and date, or instant deletion.

Instant deletion of the persons account.
