As some of you guys may know ,I have my v6 swap in the classified ads, there is a scam going on , and the guy is using us to get rich. He didnt get me but Im sure some one got had or is in the process right now.
Here is what I know. The guy contacted me at first by email telling me how interested he is in the car. And that he wants to buy it.
He said that he is going to send me a check for the amount of the car and the shipping. When I get it I am to have the additional amount sent to the shipping company, supposed to be through a wire transfer, i havent gotten the details to that yet. Im still playing him. Any way I got the check, and I contacted Mohawk industries, which is mohawk flooring in georgia. they informed me that the check is fake. Now before you assume that it was a photocopied check, your wrong. It looked authentic , down to the watermarks in the paper. Any way the lady at mohawk was really nice and told me that the ceo's signature was forged and that he doesnt even sign them, the treasurer does. The account # on it was a deposit only account, and the routing # was wrong, and best of all the bank on the check doesnt even exhist.
The guy gave me a fake name (Clark Ide), address,(705 10th seattle , Wa 98145) tel # (206-337-0553)all were in seattle washington. the check was mailed from Pacific Genvity inc 611 w. 6th st. los angeles ca. 90017 And the guy always calls in the morning between 9 and 10:30 am est. He speaks Very poor english also.
I cant find anyone that has gotten his western union account #, we need it to invensigate further. If anyone has it please post it up here.
Please dont delete this thread. My local law enforcement asked if I would post this info up here to try to get some more info to catch him.
Any info at all will help.

But their phone number is nowhere close to the one listed. It's a couple in their 50's, with a large expensive house. I couldn't find the exact address that you posted. Upon putting it in to the King County web site that is the closest I found. It lists as North Bend, and not Seattle.

Similar guy contacted me a while ago about the head I have for sale... never did respond to me though...
I have the western union info, yet another name to add to the pile, it is Terri Bandi reedley ca. 93654. (no street address) He wants the money sent by western union. Well Im sending all of the info to western union, maybe they can setup a fake money transfer and catch him when he goes to pick it up.. Those foreigners think americans are so stupid.
I thought about sending him a penny along with a note that says F#$@ you!

Joe, if this guy has your name and address, I'd take a look here:
http://www.fraudaid.com/ID_theft.htm (its a legit site) just in case.
One additional thing to anyone reading this thread, as tempting as it may be to email this fellow, at this time I strongly recommend against it. Not because I don't want you to have fun, but due to what is currently happening behind the scenes, it would not be a wise idea.

I went that site, man I didnt realize how bad it really is out there. Its pathetic that people are like that. The government should be going after them. Its a total crock that we have to worry about it. Our tax dollars at work!
I sent the site all of the emails that I recieved, now Im going through my computer and wipe out personal info that might exhist, and so on. Once this guy finds out that Im not going for the deal, he might return for revenge.

This guy is good.
The I.P. addresses keep changing when he sends an email.
216.252.110.54
216.252.110.60
216.252.110.47
216.252.110.56
216.252.110.47
How is he doing that?

^^ Those are all Yahoo IP's. So depending on which server one logs into when checking e-mail, it will have a slightly different IP, but all will start with 216.252.110.
His actual IP is 82.128.20.70

He won't return for revenge, just move on to someone else.
