Someone needs to locate this guy and lay a "Roy Hill like" smack down on him!

I posted a wanted ad here for a Ford 351 C blowproof bell for my Dyno Don 77 Mustang II. Guy responded that he had one, i had purchased one the weekend previous at swap meet. Told him I no longer needed one. He said what else you need. I said an original carb for a 69 Boss 429. He said he had one and sent pics. It was correct and cheap. Just for grins i looked on EBAY at Boss 429 carbs and found an ad for one with the exact same pics I was sent and the carb on EBAY was 5k. I quit answering his texts, and he kept trying to hook me for 2 days before quitting.

What is the policy here to handle scammers? This site is where they hunt There should be something that can be done about it.

The problem probably is...dummies like me put my email address in the ad...

johntyler2029@gmail.com found me here,then lured me off this site everything else was done between us by E-mail. There were red flags all over it. The E-mail address I sent the money to wasn't even johntyler2029@gmail.com....I should have used a little common sense here...but. anyway it was only $150 so lesson learned and I'm still eating....I think we should only deal with folks we know who are legit

Don’t feel bad Tim, scammers can get our email address from contact info. Going to “quick links” you can click “edit options” and you’ll see where you disable others from getting your email address. Easier still just don’t respond to emails from unknowns.

Have a question about stuff like this. Seems Paypal has become a joke. What about mailing a check? If it go's thru mail can post master get involved, if needed. Which would then make it Federal.

Could you share the email he used for the transaction?

Hello all... I am not part of your race community (although I did participate in autocross, IMSA, NCCC, and other events a few decades ago). I even took a few trips down the 1/4 mile track (back we had a 1/4 mile length). My search for a scammer has lead me here to your thread.

These are the names that this person uses associated with the phone number 662-276-1307, which is provided by Google (VOiP) via Bandwidth.com.

... probably many others as well.

This individual (or group I think based on the sheer number of different types of websites being stalked) is obviously committing federal crimes (wire fraud and mail fraud at the very least).

Unfortunately for this person, he (or they) have reached a group of individuals who have a lot of free time on their hands and world of computer knowledge, now with a mission to find this person.

Do not send payments to anyone you don't physically know using a means that can not offer protection, such as Zelle, Apple Pay, Vinemo, etc. If you use PayPal, do NOT use the "friends and family" option - pay the extra 3.5% for the security of having the ability to get your money back. Do NOT send cash - that was actually suggested in my case... LOL!

I do not believe that this group is actually in the U.S. or they are just poorly educated. Their English skills are lacking, and they make many mistakes, like sending you text and pictures obtained from the Internet (and can be easily found with a simple Google search).

Sorry to hear that someone was taken by this scammer. Ironically, the item that I was looking for (WTB ad, like others here) was something rare enough that the pictures of that item that were sent to me as being the one for sale were actually taken by someone I know in the industry, and they still have the item and it was not for sale! Others probably won't be so lucky.

I have reached out to Google, and I will reach out to the FBI when I have collected more info. I would really like to get @MarkRober and his buddies involved as it seems Mark likes tracking down these scumbags!
