Gps Tomtom Go 720


Recommended Posts

Has anyone got any more details about this person?

He took $400 from me for a PS3 on boostcruising.

Have you had any help from the mods on that particular forum?

When I alerted some mods via PM about one of his (then newly posted) ads on there, I got absolutely no response at all.

And last time I looked, that ad were still there, only now you can read posts from ppl who have since been ripped off.

None of the above helps you very much, and I really do hope you manage to get your money back (if not punish the bastard)... but it just cheeses me off that forums like that do not seem to be policed a little better.

Nah mate, not much help.. After a couple weeks they gave me IP details and other names used, but he is still active and trading under other names (they know this).

The name on there I did business with was skyRIDER.

I recommended people forward their experience onto the Fraud squad. with all documents of proof (I will post details up soon).

surley there is someone out there in the banking, ISP or phone business who can assist to track this person down. Please PM me, all information strictly kept confidential. no police involved.

I have actually been intouch with the Copper I reported it too and he said that the forum Mods havent been much help actually none at all as they would not reply to his emails so I wonder do the mods really want to catch these guys....

Cmon mods Please

That really isnt good at all :)

Being a mod can be a thankless task etc etc - but if a mod isnt willing to make the effort - especially on something serious like this - then don't be a mod any more I say.

At least you got some cooperation I suppose... good luck with it mate, keep posting about it here and there as often other people have come across the same guy elsewhere and can help join the dots.

Looks like I just saved myself $180 because I read a post on Usenet (not even a web based forum) about somebody with a particular bank account ripping people off, not car related at all. So it all helps.

Touch wood in my hundreds of online deals I havent been ripped off - yet!

Good luck!

I think I have just been ripped off by this guy too. Bought an iphone from him on Boostcruising and never received it. I googled his phone number and it came up with this thread.

His details are:

Account No: 220715, BSB: 032349

Name: Jake Romano

He says he is in Adelaide but his account suggests NSW.

If anyone has a address for this guy or any details let me know, hope we catch this guy.

Yeah i too got ripped off awhile back and reported it to a few of the Mods and got no reply at all. Seems to make me think the mods are the crooks. :)

i find this funny the moderators dont want a vigilanty group to go to this guys house but they wont assist the police in their investigations....these are your members and your essentially protecting a pos who has ripped off numerous people :cheers:

and thumbs down to the cops quick to do you for speeding or something wanky like not indicating when changing lanes but when it comes to something where they cant make money suddenly theirs nothing they can do about it or its a waste of resources

I think the mods here are much like the cops, they say they will do something but really dont give a shit, there is also a known bad traders thread which i believe is ONLY there to cover sau's arse so at the end of the day they can say they do something about fraudulent activities on this forum but at the end of the day since they never update it then its as usefull as tits on a bull.

its not even as if they need to do much to at all, after all i know me and candy33 have msg'd mods about the guys that have ripped us off and im guessing everyone else has as well.

    • Awesome to know. I have a Series 1, and When pulling my front bumper off for the first time i realised my reo/crash bar was a bit worse for wear, and was going to try pick up a better one soon just so i can replace it. Someone is selling a full series 2 front bar and brackets for a decent price, so was going to probably reuse my brackets and install the new second hand reo/crash bar. I also have a genuine Altia body kit to do up, spray and put on, and not sure if that will use the series 1 or series 2 brackets for the front bumper, so having both will be handy, and knowing i can drill holes out to make stuff fit between series is also handy to know!
    • I should also say that the while they are different the only parts that matter are the center headlight supports and center bar from S1 to S2. The center bar will work, but the S1 has holes that clips go through into the S1 bumper. So if you were super cheap you could simply drill the S2 bar. Same thing with the side/wings. They have slightly different 'clips' but can be made to work. The center headlight brackets however, cannot. This is also where the GTR differs, which has a different center bar, and different headlight supports (to either GTT system), it also has different 'wing' headlight supports which is what I am calling under the headlight. However those CAN be made to work with the GTT Reo for a GTR front bar by a small spacer and a drill/tapping a thread into the reo because the bolt positions are slightly different. So people only really need the center brackets to go between GTT S1, GTT S2, and GTR if you are happy to do some tinkering.
    • Indeed  😃  Appears the site is back up now (migrated not updated) - kudos @funkymonkey & @PranK
    • If this, then this You can't really get away without it. There are hacks that you can do in Nistune, but things are much easier with the sensor than without it. If you're not planning to Nistune the ECU, then stop right now and add it to your plan anyway, because the ECU is going to shit the bed over the missing ABS and TC computers that it expects to see, and you need Nistune to stop it chucking all its toys over the side of the crib.
    • hey guys, so ive done a complete +t conversion using mostly stock parts on my rb20de neo r34.  Im wanting to know if a boost pressure sensor is needed? Seems like the engine cuts out when i try to do a pull and I have a feeling its because a boost pressure sensor is missing. I'm using a stock r34 rb25det neo ecu.
