Don't know if this will help.

Not really online auction fraud but maybe the police data base already has some hits to this guy's bank account.

Doesn't matter if it's $60 or $6000.

It's theft and most of us have been ripped by a scammer at some time.

This is a criminal offense, it is called 'obtaining money by deception' and is fraud.

Accordingly you need to report it to the Police who will contact an Admin of this site to obtain further details.

If an Admin of this site gives you his details, they then breach the Privacy Act and are open to a civil claim as well as prosecution.

Errr, hope that did not sound too much like a lawyer.... :P

i just realised that the guy bought injectors off a guy named "888_2008"... HTF didnt he see a scam comming.. would have been better off buying from someone named "scammer"

Some people trust others because they have high moral and ethical standards; dosent mean they are stupid, far from it.

We learn from our mistakes; this one was a cheap mistake and im sure it wont cause too much loss of sleep.

speaking of scammers and lessons learnt

it was back in 2001 / 2002

i was living in surfers and reading the local gold coast newspaper (bulletin)

enjoying my coffee and some all bran with some ice magic

when i spied a small page 2 story .........

Basicly it goes like this in bullet point format

*young fella is looking to buy some weed

*some local junkie agrees to get him some weed

*Young noob gives the junkie $25.00 aud

*Junkie says he will be back in 10 mins

*hour or so passes young fella realises hes been had

Now here is the kicker!

HE GOES TO THE CAVIL AVE POLICE BEAT AND SAYS ~ HI I GAVE A PERSON IN THE MALL 25 DOLLARS TO BUY SOME MARYWANA AND HE HAS NOT COME BACK?!

the policeman commenting on the article advised that in his 10 years carrer he has never seen anyone do anything like this?

I WAS LAUGHING SO HARD I SPAT ALL BRAN EVERYWERE!

oh man i cut the article out but have now lost it

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      *that* is a question for chatgpt (or someone that understands maths....but I'd try chatty). Drop them the table and ask for the formula

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Alright. Exhaust has been looked at, and booked in 'soon'. I'm not 100% convinced it's going to be as good as possible but I'm going to go with it anyway. If I get a reasonable thing that works for 10 years I mean that's twice as long as I've lived with the current one. I have a more pressing issue. I have fixed my MPVI3 (by buying a new one). Excellently, one can wire in analog 0-5v inputs to the ECU itself. I had wideband already via Serial so I also wired it in via the direct input. The idea being I can use the standalone logging without a laptop and have Wideband data in it. The other wire I thought I'd use oil temp. This is where I've gone crazy. HPTuners requires you to implement a formula so you know how much volts = how much temp. This seems relatively simple to me. However I cannot find the scale for this anywhere on the internet, nor decipher how to figure it out without removing the sensor from the car. All I know is that voltage actually goes up as temperature goes down. I am using the actual gauge, so I can see what the temp is. The signal wire has been branched off into the MPVI3. EXAMPLE: 2.68v = 58C 2.7 = 57C 2.74v = 56C 2.8V = 54C 3.06V = 49C 3.18V = 47C 3.37V = 43C I think the gauge is 50-150C. It may be more. It may be less, because I can't find it for the love of f**k. It appears all the information about the gauges I have has been scoured from the internet, but the sender is VDO 320.021 I believe the resistance chart is this How the f**k do I convert this to a voltage? Once I have a voltage... I then have to perform this transform of said voltage to show it in the scanner: https://www.hptuners.com/help/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm @GTSBoy you're probably my only hope here TEST YOUR MIGHT

      Here’s the updated and installed muse replica nismo ones … very happy with the outcome. Eventhough I painted my whole rear end due to my rich idle lol.

      Hmm. I had a good look (w/o searching, because I'm not logging in) and couldn't see it either. I distinctly recall the thread, not many weeks ago. It must have been removed or perhaps put into the back section. If it was in Off Topic you should at least have been able to search it up. So if I'm not hallucinating, it is fairly decently removed.
