ATTENTION!! Scammers, Don't Be This Guy

djtodd · 08-08-2013, 09:00 PM

Wow. Just now made it through this thread.

Major props to all involved here. Especially the good Samaritans who had no skin in the game, but spent god knows how much time on others' behalf.

If nothing else, this thread should serve as fair warning to buyers and potential scammers who dare come on this site and try something shady...

This thread is the equivalent of posting severed heads on pikes outside the castle gates...

All I can say is wow, I MEAN WOW! This was such a great read while killing time doing laundry. Kudos to everyone involved with owning this guy! I hope someone can keep us in the loop as to Kris' future residence. Big props to hyunsoo! You score some pretty serious karma credit man! It is sad to say that there aren't many people that would have taken the high road like you did with you part of this mess. Tons of respect to you!

Personally, I wish we didn't ban Kris. I was just starting to figure out his language.

How the hell did I missed this thread?!

I'm glad it came out good. Huge props to everyone, it feels good to be a part of this family.

I thought you guys might like to see this, A-TOWN on TopTierImports just found this gem:

2003 Nissan 350Z Coupe Twin turbo Fraud recovery - Calgary Cars For Sale - Kijiji Calgary Canada.

Looks like Mr. Hope has had everything taken from him since the authorities are now VERY involved...you can bet he'll be behind bars soon and for a long time. Give yourselves a pat on the back, guys.

guess who wants to buy it.

DEpointfive0 · 08-14-2013, 02:16 AM

Hey, honestly, you gotta give this fuckíng lowlife props through... He's good at what he does, he stole a brake set, resold it to 2 people, sold a turbo kit he didn't have, and stole a car through fraud!

Guys, I love you all, but c'mon, we all need to get smarter to not let shít get taken away from us! I wouldn't ship out a god damn oil filter without payment. (Well I lied, I sent 2 to help out a forum member, lol) but still, don't let yourself get scammed

SS_Firehawk · 08-14-2013, 04:07 AM

Haha, this is awesome... I think I see this in his future

That was the point of having this thread stickied... That and serving as a warning to potential scammers.

Edit: Also I don't think he is/was very good at what he does. He was caught almost instantly (here) and ruined pretty quickly. He didn't make any effort to conceal his identity and couldn't resist the urge to engage with people trashing him here - which ended up drawing more attention to himself.

I had a whole thing typed up here about how he could have gotten away with it but then realized I'd be providing a boilerplate for people to do this in the future so...yeah.
