Don't know if this will help.

Not really online auction fraud but maybe the police data base already has some hits to this guy's bank account.

Doesn't matter if it's $60 or $6000.

It's theft and most of us have been ripped by a scammer at some time.

This is a criminal offense, it is called 'obtaining money by deception' and is fraud.

Accordingly you need to report it to the Police who will contact an Admin of this site to obtain further details.

If an Admin of this site gives you his details, they then breach the Privacy Act and are open to a civil claim as well as prosecution.

Errr, hope that did not sound too much like a lawyer.... :P

i just realised that the guy bought injectors off a guy named "888_2008"... HTF didnt he see a scam comming.. would have been better off buying from someone named "scammer"

Some people trust others because they have high moral and ethical standards; dosent mean they are stupid, far from it.

We learn from our mistakes; this one was a cheap mistake and im sure it wont cause too much loss of sleep.

speaking of scammers and lessons learnt

it was back in 2001 / 2002

i was living in surfers and reading the local gold coast newspaper (bulletin)

enjoying my coffee and some all bran with some ice magic

when i spied a small page 2 story .........

Basicly it goes like this in bullet point format

*young fella is looking to buy some weed

*some local junkie agrees to get him some weed

*Young noob gives the junkie $25.00 aud

*Junkie says he will be back in 10 mins

*hour or so passes young fella realises hes been had

Now here is the kicker!

HE GOES TO THE CAVIL AVE POLICE BEAT AND SAYS ~ HI I GAVE A PERSON IN THE MALL 25 DOLLARS TO BUY SOME MARYWANA AND HE HAS NOT COME BACK?!

the policeman commenting on the article advised that in his 10 years carrer he has never seen anyone do anything like this?

I WAS LAUGHING SO HARD I SPAT ALL BRAN EVERYWERE!

oh man i cut the article out but have now lost it

GOLD

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
