Guys,

i know this may not be the right place, but gotta let this go where it may affect people.

Do not buy anything off a member by the name of SACRA

He told me i could pay half up front and half later.

he scammed me $350

This happened last week.

I finally got his real name and I have my mates in the force supplying me with his address tomorrow.

Anybody else been scammed by him let me know, ill be happy to get your money back too, when I fly to wherever he may be.

Cheers

Dave

Thanks for the heads up, sorry to hear :huh: I really hope you can get your money back somehow, maybe have a mod post this as an annoucement because another Forum member posted something about this user in the Queensland section (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=130380).

This is what stops other people from buying parts, because people lie and scam on the Internet, SAU is the best place for us (people who like Skylines) and a place where we can get good cheap parts, hope you get the problem sorted along with all the other people scammed by this user.

I think it may be a good idea for traders/buyers to "register" details before any money is transacted. I know that whenever I sell stuff of "considerable value" I am providing all my details before the buyer even asks.

totally agree with satanic on this one. I was gonna suggest members can only trade (i know i know, i aint a member yet), but satanics idea is much better....

EDIT - i meant to say i am not an official SAU member yet (i.e i havent paid my m/ship fees etc)

I tried to warn the modorators a few weeks back with a pm. There are lots of scamers who use Alice Springs as a location, there not going to get any one going to pick stuff up. So check where they recon there located.

I was looking at a RSM he had and was wary of him for this reason initialy and would only deal with him via COD with Aust Post. He was pushing for $$$ first and would not concider COD. That is when I warnd a mod about him.

Did anyone sell him anything? he did post on some for sale stuff.

if you do a search, he has posted on some stuff that was for sale - actually maybe like 1 thing. I am always skeptical when it comes to buying stuff online (specially on forums) and this is the reason why...stupid idiots who want to find an easy way of making money..... :rolleyes:

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.

      If there's oil in with the clutch, I hope it finds its way out even if that hole has a cover/grommet 😛 I don't want oil near my cars clutch! 😛 Interested to hear the answer about covering it, I'm assuming a bung for a gearbox from another car that has a grommet to suit.
