Damn, you still went through with it after all that was posted...wow. Good luck. You should contact the authorities asap. Why dont you post all of the info you have on him. I sure hope you have more than just a cell number.

 

I cant resist...3k for a complete ITR swaP ????? WE TOLD YOU SO

 

Please post his complete info. If you haven't contacted the authorities in Oregon, please do so ASAP. Good luck.

 

yeah i figured a few (if not most) would rub it in my face.. thats all good though.. some are more forgiving though.. for those who'd rather help a member out than flame them please IM me and i'll give you all the info I have if you think you can help me out. thanks...

 

Post the info here! There is no reason to NOT post it publically. If you want help, give all that you have.

 

Tell us what have you done so far, and as much info as you have. Have you called the police?

Not to be mean, but you are extremely naive. Sending $2000 to someone you have only spoken to on the phone? You need to contact your bank as well as the bank of america with his account info and see what you can find out. NEVER buy anything if the person wont go through escrow. Good luck.

 

I live in oregon, near portland, contact me on aim, my screen name is 'smokin chronic' we'll discuss it more there. or email me.....'paswordsecurty@yahoo.com'(yeah thats how its spelled)

 

Yes I'm naive yes I'm a dumbass and yes I feel like **** about it.. would you like to rub it in anymore???

 

I am not trying to rub it in. You posted for help. Here is what you need to do:
1. Contact your bank ASAP - I am assuming this is how you wired the money.
2. Contact his bank or any bank of america with his acct info and see if they can put a hold on the transfer
3. Contact the police department - both locally and in the area
4. Contact Ebay and report this to them - wont help you but may help others
5. Be thankful you did not send him the full amount
I would get on this FIRST THING tomorrow morning. The longer you wait, the less likely you are to get anything handled.

 

hey im from oregon, where did you buy it fromm and whats his name and addy hehe

Ill try to help..........

 

Sigh...good luck with this one dude.

 

ouch. Not sounding good for you man. Honestly, the best thing you can do is NOT waste time hoping he will be legit. if u found out another guy sent his money for your engine...your basically being screwed like there's no tomorrow

 

Well enough thinkin he's legit.. he's NOT! I just tried calling him on his cell and its well.. you guessed it.. disconnected! really wierd cuz i called him earlier today so he must have cancelled it so i can't call him anymore... damnit this SUCKS! here is the rest of the info i didn't give up earlier but **** it.. here is his address...

3900 Hagers Rd
Portland Oregon 97267


anyone live near there? only problem is who knows if thats even his real address.. i deposited the money directly into his bank account so.... HELP!

 

Dude, LISTEN TO FAST4DR:
1. Contact your bank ASAP - I am assuming this is how you wired the money.
2. Contact his bank or any bank of america with his acct info and see if they can put a hold on the transfer
3. Contact the police department - both locally and in the area

5. Be thankful you did not send him the full amount

There's no way a Portland local can track him down with a false address. Get the authorities involved and follow the above protocol.

 

Get you a round trip to Oregon...it will cost you 350.00+++;but you'll recover $2000.00...And a lesson well learned...

 

Yes, Yes I would

9 pages of posting 99% of the people telling you it was either Stolen or a scam. You didnt want to believe any of us and Now you want our help
What was best is that you didn't mind if the engine was stolen
To quote myself from another thread
"Think of it this way, It cost him $2000 to learn a lesson. One that we tried teaching him for free."

 

Bob - Who would also like to rub it in by quoting Mike's analysis of the situation.

 

"you deserved it!" ..............my .02 cents

 

Thanks for some of you who actually offered help... for those who just sat there and made me feel worse by rubbin that **** hard.. I guess i'll just have to handle this **** on my own.. thanks anyway

 

And once again, YOU DESERVED IT! 9 pages of people telling you that you were buying a stolen motor or getting scammed, and you still tried to go through with the deal. It's your own damn fault, so deal with it yourself. You can't expect us to want to help you because you were trying to buy a motor that was likely stolen from an H-T member.

 

It's all because you didn't mind buying a stolen engine, not because you didn't listen to the advice that it could be a scam.......

 

yo brother call the cops................. or **** do something dont come on the bord and cry about it........... damm i feel your pain BUT DOOOOOOOOO SOMETHING BOUT IT!!!!!!!!
