OK, I bought an item from a member on EvoM, item never shipped and he dodged my PM's with the run around for almost 3 weeks, I got a mod involved and still nothing. I filed a Paypal claim against him today but that will only go so far. I need to get some info on this guy, you know the rundown. Just wondering if you guys can dig up some hard facts on this guy?

My item I purchased

What do you mean, this info was found after he didn't ship. He has a rating of selling on EvoM, its only 1 but thats all I have here and I wouldn't scam anyone.

poisonivory · 06-10-2008, 10:59 AM

from the looks of his myspace he does seem to be affiliated, or at least acquainted with Invision Performance. Call the shop and ask for him.

subscribed. OT will help you ban him from existence.

poisonivory · 06-10-2008, 11:10 AM

worst part is its a group of scrawny young asian dudes with too much damn money. I hope you find out where Johnny Tran lives and your boy takes care of business, because I know i'd be salty as shyt if I got scammed by some little punk.

Thats funny because my old dorm drinking buddy out their is like 6' 4" and a brick **** house. He is gearing up for a deployment now but wants to pay this guy a visit as soon as I get the facts.

poisonivory · 06-10-2008, 11:15 AM

i just did some digging on the thread you bought the item from......there is a big link at the top of the page that states you cant post on the private sale forum until you are a member for at least 7 days and have 50 posts. Its funny if you look at his post count, its 51. That has scam written all over it. lol

Yes but if you look through all his posts they are spanned out over like 5 months. I never had trouble buying on EvoM and that had alot to do with it.

redline · 06-10-2008, 11:20 AM

<---Wished he knew someone at T mobil????

Good idea! You really know how to make someone laugh! I doubt it, I really want this guy to get his visit. I messaged him and told him he has until tomorrow to settle this and then it goes forward.

I was assuming that they used a format like ours on the for sale thread. I would have called him to verify that it was indeed his phone number before sending him the money. But it seems that you only got that after you paid, so you had no way to check.

poisonivory · 06-10-2008, 12:09 PM

was he not answering your PM's at all, or just giving you the run-around like "it'll be sent next week".

Last week I knew what was up, it was the run around and when he couldn't provide a tracking number I started PM'ing the Mods. Looks like him, his freinds and Invision stopped selling parts in late May after being decent vendors, from what I read. I wonder what happened? Maybe went to Jail, I would hope not!
