Default I've been scammed...

Fortunately for me though I got my money back from paypal. There's some people here trying to work the forms, setting up bait and Chase type of thing. I fell for it lost $25.. Not real bad but I was able to get it back like I said because I paid with paypal. The thing is there's a guy floating around here that just joined and was prowling in the "wanted to buy section" and he pm'd me saying "hey mate, I know a guy that's got one check out this email address he can help you out".. Well stupid me, I fell for it and was taken.. Here's the two emails associated with these scammers so you guys know to stay away from them..
richardkaren004@gmail.com
samwelmutai@gmail.com
The name of the guy on here went by the name of "Ausdriver".. I already contacted "Izzo Quazo" and he's taking the steps necessary to have that person removed but if any of you guys run into anything from somebody like this with those two email addresses stay away and report them... Stupid lesson learned..

The whole "I have a friend with one..." is one of the current scams. On lotustalk.com forums, there are warnings about that all over. Some people play along with them, as in "Well, I really need that part for my Evija, not the Evora." "Oh, yes, it actually came off of an Evija, so I know it will fit..." The Evija is not in production and won't be for years, and cost around a million or so at that time.

Anyway, glad you got your money back. And NEVER use "Friends and Family" or you are totally screwed.

so, the last week I sold a pair of Kuryakyn Longhorn highway peg mounts, the member and I settled on a shipped price to be paid via Paypal goods and services, he sends me the money, but sends it via friends and family. I messaged the guy and thanked him for the sale, but I told him I wished he had paid via goods and services, he replied it wasn't a big deal. I shipped them the same day, and he got them 2 days later. Like others have said, I absolutely hate a thief and dishonest *******!

No matter whether I'm buying or selling, that's why I only use PP Goods and Services, and only ship to the address on file with them. Anyone that wants to send/receive money any other way is a no go from me.

If it was me I’d use those email addresses to sign up for every mailing list I could find. Spam the **** out of them. Maybe search for the worst and most abusive mailing lists. 😆
