Well Thursday I sent Prophet X 420.00 Western Union. Like a dumbass I didn't get any info on him. The only thing that I know is that his name is CHRIS BLAS and that his CELL phone number is 760-419-3734 I sent him money for his rims, and he said that he would ship them out FRIDAY. Well today is Tuesday 9/11 and I have heard NOT 1 WORD FROM HIM. I mean, It's only been 4 days but this guy was online 24/7 and he ALWAYS answered his cell phone. The minute he recieved my money he disappeared. I was gonna give him a week or so to come through. But tonight I found out just about 5 min. ago that He changed his USERNAME here on H-T. I know that he is a newbie and I am a dumbass for trusting him, But if you notice on the link below of the ACTUAL transaction. His SN is ProfetX . Then if you look on the bottom of his post, it says MODIFIED BY: ProphetX . This wasn't like that yesterday. So , now I actually know that he IS alive cause he changed his SN, but what can I do now? Someone HELP!

Thanks STEVE! Someone HELP!

 

damn newbie scammers
lets go get him in person
whats the addy?

 

I don't have his addy, on his SN below it it says SAN DIEGO! That's all i know. I think that he picked up the money at VAUGHNS GROCERY STORE in Escondido California....SOMEONE HELP! where's the mods at?

 

Bump before bed!

 

that sucks man... good luck resolving it...

 

The 760 area code covers the san bernardino county in so cal. I try and do a search. Or even do a search yourself through your profile and check you IM history. Then click his name. If he changed it, obviously it should be change. Damm that sucks. HT on the look out.

 

just want to point out this chris person is not the same as me. I have references through paul vang and a few other people that i have bought from on csi and honda-tech.

 

f^*king thief bastards ! somebodies always tryna get over on somebody. they can suck a dick and if i was back out in cali i'd help you. good luck man.

 

do a phone number reversal, there are website on where to go.

if that is a cell number, call this provider and ask who this guy is. If ur lucky u'll get a stupid rep and may actually give you his info.

 

Alright guys thanks ALOT! Hey what about the HT MODS? Cant you guys get his PCP or whatever computer number to find out his addy?

 

sorry man, tried to call my boy who works for a cell phone comp, but its not one of their numbers...i was hoping to get some good info for you...



good luck.

 

I think it's VOICESTREAM. I recognize the off message he has on his phone and it's the same as my girlfriends mothers cell. What about the MODS? Can't they just look it up through his ICP number, and find out where he lives?

 

never trust n00bs

 

Yea no ****. Where are the MODS at?

 

its an ip address. usually you can track the ip address to his internet provider. call the internet provider up and they can look through their log to see who had that ip address at that time or date when you had contact with him online. but i don't know if the internet provider will give out this information without legal authority.

sorry to hear about this man. hope someone out there is able to help you get your money back. too much scamming going on around these days. its scary to do a transaction wondering if you're going to get your end of the deal. but give him the benefit of the doubt. maybe something happened to him. but then again, i would be worrying myself if he just disappeared out of no where. keep us updated.

 

Thanks man, WHERES TEKKEN?

 

BUmp to see if tekken or chris can help me out....

 

So what you're saying is that you mailed the MO to a grocery store, your only contact info is a cell phone, you didn't bother to get a street address and home phone #, and you blindly mail off a money order for $420 to some guy?

I'm sorry... I'm sorry... unless I missed something here, I'm not sure when I should start to feel sorry for you... I mean yeah, it sucks, but fer chrissakes, man!

This site sucks man...too many scammers in the classifieds.
big scammer site

 

truthfully wats a fake street address and a home phone number going to do for you? if hes going to scam you, he will. there is nothing you can do about it, if you want the rims you are going to have to trust that he will send the merchandise. same deal goes for every internet company out there.

my sympathies to you and ur 420 bucks man. you prolly will not see your money again, never send money order and never give out ur credit card info. middle-man companies work well, such as paypal but they starting to charge arm and a leg.

 

Okay, TEKKEN gave me his IP number. What can I do now?

 

thats illegal, he can through that right back at you. You have no proof that he didn't send it. but now you are invading his privacy.

 

First off, you haven't given him enough time, but if you really have your panties in a bunch about this, here's what I'd do...

**** the IP.

Go to the post office and get the paperwork to file interstate mail fraud charges. This is a federal offense that carries big *** fines and tons of jail time, and will involve several federal agencies including the FBI and the post office (these ************* have guns are are nuts!). Then follow the directions that come with the paperwork, and go to the state police and inform them of what's going on.

Do some investigating of your own. Go to wherever you got the money order (you DID keep the reciept, right?) and find out from them what bank it was deposited at. If it was cashed somewhere, find out where it was cashed and then call them and speak to the manager. Explain your situation and tell them that you want a physical description and any other information on the guy that cashed the MO. Around here, you have to present ID to cash a MO; I dunno about Cali. Then, once you get all this, go back to the state police, and talk to the officer handling your case and present him with the information you've uncovered. Ask if you can be of any more assistance.

Note- posting public information such as phone numbers, names, and addresses is NOT a violation of some bullshit privacy act. Give me your full name and town you live in and I can get your street address and phone # in about two seconds from http://www.whitepages.com

Go git 'em, tiger!

no offense dude, but police have plenty other trhings to worry about...you know what they'll say....Your fault. you sent someone $420..not knowing who he is. c'mon man. yeah, thyell take a police report.....then...thats the end of that.

p.s. i've done 2 sales here so far.
i got fucked once.
you never know on this site whos legit and whos not 50/50 chance. i've tried to do something already. unless it is a substantial amount of money....forget about it. not that $420 isn't but there is an amount before it will be Truly investigated and looked into.
just found out...must be over $1000
