LOL so for grins and giggles I contacted the guy. Sent me some pics of an RTS. He wants $500 Zelle'd to him. No Paypal. I asked him about the guy he scammed here. He said if he had scammed someone then he would be banned. Then I asked him to send me pics of the RTS with today's newspaper. This is what I got:



A "paper" with today's date, done by a professional graphic designer on the most advanced version of MS Paint

What a piece of **************** this guy. I wonder what it feels like to be such a dumb loser that you need to scam people to make a couple of bucks

The piece of s h i t is on other forums selling parts as well. The tele number so reveals.

The area code is in my general geographic locale. Hmmmmm. Maybe a meet, greet, and beat?

Nice playing the scammer to expose their stupidity!

They are out here… but so easy to spot. When your see him with only 3 posts, already sold the car and selling parts, who really trusts him?

I was looking for speedster humps and posted WTB and a guy sent me a PM. I asked for pictures and he sent them from an ad several years ago that showed up on google search. I asked him for more pictures of specific spots until he run out of pictures off that ad… then told him that I found those locally. He dropped the price like hot pancake and tried to pull it off for a few days until I said I bought them. Make them work hard with their pea brain.

Sorry for bumping this but I received a PM from this user ROUZ stating he's selling B8 shocks. Looks like he's targeting WTB threads. I don't want any legit members getting scammed by this loser.

Thanks. I can't believe he's still around

I actually texted his number and had a loooong conversation with him. Eventually he "confessed" that he was broke and depressed and needed the money so he was scamming people out of necessity. Our conversation after that was very interesting.

Eventually I called him on the phone and a guy with a very thick accent actually picked up I would call and text him at odd hours and give him "motivational speeches" on how to be a go-getter and get ahead in life. It drove him nuts Looks like my lectures didn't do much to change his ways.

Good on you for trying. Way more patience then i have. To be fair I didn't followup with his PM(spidey senses were already tingling). Instead went straight to his post history and found this thread. I mean, he could have the B8 shocks lol. But given his track record I doubt it and I already don't trust him.

Where I got my B8, best price I could find

AJUSA, they were honest, they drop ship from Bilstein.

I actually got the B12 kit, Eibach springs and B8 shocks.
