For your information I have emailed 3 days ago Blitz with all the information regarding the member vixta who is the person who ripped me off. Sorry I didn't realize I had to send you one too .

I cant beleive you wrote a stupid comments like "I cannot magically make your silly EFT, return to your account"

I know that ,but think about it - there might be someone on this forum that posted some purchased goods to vixta therefore knowing their address - it aint rocket science mate.

Fair enough you dont care that I've lost $725 but I thought as an administrator you would give me every opportunity to see if I could find someone that knows about this person.

I was wrong.

Honestly edit your post, and re-send a polite PM to R31nismoid and you might just get alot further.

there is also a scammers thread you might want to place all the details of the user you have.

Further more if you have any phone details of the user i might be able to help, send me a pm. Cheers

have u tried taking the proper avenues mate

like maybe file a police report, if u have his bank details then the cops will be able to find him straight away....

maybe think about using paypal next time....

or buying locally ....

although i dont agree with some ways that mods/admins cunduct some things brionging them into the spotlight is not the way to conduct urslef son...

ur the one who f**ked up and transfered money to an unknown source not ash or blitz.... u f**ked up. how is it either of there problems to sort it out for u.... they cant there not cops bro....

edit...i just noticed u have a nother thread. y make another 1 for.

The reason why I put this additional thread up is that i was extremely annoyed and surprised at R31nismoids response to my earlier thread and to make matters worse he then locks the thread so I cant reply.

I thought the best way to find out information about the guy who ripped me off is to ask fellow SAU members if they have dealt with this person and if they have any details about her - I think this is common sense.

For the life of me i cant understand why R31nismoid writes pathetic comments in my earlier thread like "I cannot magically make your silly EFT, return to your account." and "Starting a thread like this will not help you out."

I am currently in the process of filing a police report but in the mean time I would appreciate any information.

Hey champ,

I've been stung in the past too and I know how it feels. Having read your previous topic on this, R31nismoid has given you as clear direction as to what information he needs in order to be able to help you.

If I was in your shoes, I would be compiling that information and forwarding it to him via PM as requested.

Good luck.

Let's play semantics/hypotheticals/pretend!!!

If I was scammed and wanted to announce it (not out of vengeance, but to help protect other SAUers)

...I would PM a moderator with a draft of what your intended thread would look like

...I would ask that moderator to vet that draft

...I would ask him/her to PM you back with that draft with or without alterations

...then I would go ahead and start the thread

^ ^ ^ This is the constructive way :thumbsup:

i understand what ur saying but he clearly said pm him the details of what he required to follow it up.

just remember though the only way to get ur cash back is to go thru the police network mate....

the most a moderator can do is ban someone from the forums ... but u will still be out 700odd dollars.

is the person in another state?

im pretty sure as soon as this is seen by the mods it will be once again closed as there is guidelines of what to do in ur circumstances.... buyer beware next time son and gl with it

I'm sure a lot of members on here has been scammed by some low life before, myself included. But you're asking for help recovering what you have lost. R31Nismoid has advised you how he is able to assist, he can only do so much to help you with your mistake. If you don't take on his advise fair enough, but starting a new thread sooking about the issue isn't going to do much help. At the end of the day it's your responsibility to ensure a secure transaction. Mods not going to babysit and hold your hand through the whole way.

Understand that you'd be pissed off for you're lost, and I truely hope the best outcome. Either way, let this be a lesson as I have been taught myself. I'm assured almost everyone on this forum is legit and are on here for all the right reason, it's a shame there's a few out there that takes advantage of the honestly of these true members. But you're flaming at the people who are there to assist.

Only option is give all the information to police. They should be able to get her details from the bank or other avenues & then visit her/issue a summons/charge her & then its court time!!

Moderators are in the same boat you are in regards to power over these matters & can only ban/add the user to dodgy traders etc. Finding out whether other members have been ripped off will not help your individual incident as you will still have to go to the police. This will only add confusion & make your individual case messy with details that have no relevance to your situation & most of all waste time!!

Just get all info together & go to your local station. Also a good idea to have a pre-written statement or report beginning from the start of the dealings as this will save time on both ends.

Guys I initially Pm'd Blitz with all the details of the person that ripped me off. I did it very nicely and provided all relevant information.

As I said police have been notified and will take action in due course.

Alot of people have stated that starting a thread asking if anyone knows anything about the member "vixta" who ripped me off will not help in getting my money back .

This might be true but there is a possibility someone on this forum might have dealt with this person in the past and knows some details that would be of help to me .

Sorry ,but it takes me more than 3 weeks of solid work to save $725 so I think you can understand why Iam so p****d off with this low life scum.

Similar thing happened to me a while back. Your only option is to get all of this guys details and go to the cops. When I was ripped off (about 2k), I managed to track down everything about the scammer (workplace, school, address, emails, phone number, etc.) and took it straight to the cops. They said they'd take action but I'm not too sure if they did in the end. I wrote the guy an email outlining how myself and the cops know all this stuff about him and if he's not wanting unwanted attention then to return the money or send the parts and I'd drop it.

Funnily enough they arrived in the post 2 days after by overnight express delivery. The guy will be hoping you'll give up. Keep persisting, contact their friends (if you can find them on facebook), even family. Enough harassment and you'll get results. The mods can't do too much here, they're not going to go knock on the guy's door. In the end it's you that made the transaction, and you're probably going to get it sorted faster than any of the authorities will. Keep keen and persisting, call the bank as well, they should be able to give some advice.

Hope I could have been of help!

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
