weapn Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Guys, i know this may not be the right place, but gotta let this go where it may affect people. Do not buy anything off a member by the name of SACRA He told me i could pay half up front and half later. he scammed me $350 This happened last week. I finally got his real name and I have my mates in the force supplying me with his address tomorrow. Anybody else been scammed by him let me know, ill be happy to get your money back too, when I fly to wherever he may be.

_MRR33 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Thanks for the heads up, sorry to hear I really hope you can get your money back somehow, maybe have a mod post this as an annoucement because another Forum member posted something about this user in the Queensland section (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=130380). This is what stops other people from buying parts, because people lie and scam on the Internet, SAU is the best place for us (people who like Skylines) and a place where we can get good cheap parts, hope you get the problem sorted along with all the other people scammed by this user.

satanic Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I think it may be a good idea for traders/buyers to "register" details before any money is transacted. I know that whenever I sell stuff of "considerable value" I am providing all my details before the buyer even asks.

eMsta Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 (edited) I think it may be a good idea for traders/buyers to "register" details before any money is transacted. I know that whenever I sell stuff of "considerable value" I am providing all my details before the buyer even asks. totally agree with satanic on this one. I was gonna suggest members can only trade (i know i know, i aint a member yet), but satanics idea is much better.... EDIT - i meant to say i am not an official SAU member yet (i.e i havent paid my m/ship fees etc) Edited August 16, 2006 by emsta2003 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/130527-scammed/#findComment-2415953 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noddy Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I tried to warn the modorators a few weeks back with a pm. There are lots of scamers who use Alice Springs as a location, there not going to get any one going to pick stuff up. So check where they recon there located. I was looking at a RSM he had and was wary of him for this reason initialy and would only deal with him via COD with Aust Post. He was pushing for $$$ first and would not concider COD. That is when I warnd a mod about him. Did anyone sell him anything? he did post on some for sale stuff.

I am always skeptical when it comes to buying stuff online (specially on forums) and this is the reason why...stupid idiots who want to find an easy way of making money.....

ferni Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 He tried to sell me something, but i had a bad feeling so i asked him for photos of the item and a copy of his license. He didn't respond... didn't suprise me. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/130527-scammed/#findComment-2416915 Share on other sites More sharing options...
