Default think i got scammed by "SPOONER"

im pretty sure im getting scammed $50 for gsr shift linkage on parts trader for my swap from InFaMoUsDownZee1@aol.com, i know its not as much $ as some people get scammed but still, i sent money order and haven't heard anything for 2 weeks after numerous emails, name is Johanh Cao and lives in long beach, ca.

if anyone knows him tell him whats up and to get back to me to straighten things out.


*to the mods *sorry if this is in the wrong forum but i just wanted to let people know this and i already posted in the "scammed" thread

Partsscammer AKA partstrader is a toss up. If I ever did any busineuss on there I would definately do the escrow.com deal or at least mention it in an e-mail or something. There are numerous scammers there so be carful buying items there. Just a heads up.

don't buy anything on thepartstrader there are to many scammers on there, the only time i buy stuff from there is when people are willing to meet up or i drive to there house. i got scammed from a guy on there for vis c/f duckbill spoiler and ground controls took my $225 and was gone never to been heard of again.

The names look kind of fishy IMO.
They may be the same person.

Isn't it safer paying via paypal, where you can use a credit card?

I hate using paypal for some reason. Maybe I need time to let it grow on me.

Paypal is bad.. becasue it dont matter what they ship to you as long as they give
Paypal a shipping number.Paypal is not resonsible after that...so be careful..
Pick up or its not worth it

Try using Credit Cards for Anonymous orders, you can always chargeback if you are not happy.

Scammers suck There are two types of threads we have a plethora of here on H-T: "My car just got stolen" and "I've been scammed by So and So..."

Can't we all just get along? People are so ******* gay that have to steal or scam to get what they want... ****

Wait... a minute I did not scam anyone here... I do a lot of business with friends. I would never scam HT members. I always sell parts for friends to help them out. This is getting out of hand. I did not scam anyone. If money is the thing I will pay you your money back.
