Scammer Arrested!
December of last year, I sent some kid in Rialto CA money for a GSR motor he had for sale. I spoke with him numerous times over email and telephone and he said that I should wire him $600 dollars and when I received the motor, I would COD the rest. We agreed to the deal and I wired him the money.
After that, I was not able to get back in touch with him for about three months. I had left several messages on his phone saying that I was going to go to the cops about this. I had already filed a police report in NJ and was in contact with police in CA. I finally got a call from his "supposed cousin" sayin he was in boot camp and he would try to get some money together to send my way. So I told the police in Rialto that I had solved it out. Turns out, I never got anything my way. After trying to get in contact with him or his cousin, I gave up and went to Rialto PD again. So I called Rialto PD this past week and gave them all the information I have about him. (I saved all the emails and receipts of money transfer and everything) I got a call yesterday sayin that they arrested the suspect. He was also charged with having done the same thing to three other people. I am glad that he got caught and hopefully now, I can get some or if not all, of my money back. Scammers:

Hey Julian,
Even if you don't get your $ back, at least you have some satisfaction/closure... Again, this is another reason to only deal with REPUTABLE companies/individuals when buying big ticket items (engines, etc). As always, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is...

Never get ripped off!
California's high population and seaports make it the most likely place to deal with an honest merchant or a scammer.
I've never been burned on eBay, even after 20 transactions. And I've never been burned buying or selling parts, so I consider myself fortunate. Have some faith in the human race. It doesn't always pay, but it's still the best policy. Flunky PS-For free booklet on how to never get ripped off, send $1000 cash to: 4-Door Flunky, P.O. Box 666, Ulose, CA.
