If anyone personally knows this person, can they get in contact with me

I agree'd to purchase this Item of this user

He gave me a Mobile number and an email address

I transferred the money to him Direct Deposit.

The mobile has since been switched off and the email address he provided me, the acutal owner doesn't seem to know anything about selling a PS3

Sorry to hear that mate. I always thought this guy was a bit suspicious. No trader rating & location, and he put up a popular item for sale soon after he opened his account in December '08. I contacted him a couple of times and he seemed dodgy. He probably never really responded to requests for local pick-ups, and perhaps he always told people that he wasn't local (different locations to theirs everytime).

damn, looks like at least a couple of us got done... I've got a similar story to DJCouGaRs.

unless he speaks up real quick with a good explanation i'll begin the hunt to track him down. I take this kind of thing very personally, as I'm sure most people would.

i think he is still in melb, plus he said $650 posted, the games alone are worth that much.

Exactly why I didn't buy it from him, states he is in Melbourne and when I said I would pick it up he said he was interstate and would post it?

11 posts, been a member for no longer than 3 weeks with no trader rating or contact details.. how dodgy do you wanna be?

im in the same boat as the rest of you.. luckily no one fell into his trap and purchased it..

f*#kn a$$hole.. i hope he gets whats coming to him.. i hate people like this

sorry for the language, but i've been stung by a person like this before..

i believe they did.

Guys,

there was a previous scam involving the sale of a PS3 as well.

It was reported to the SAU Admins. Unfortunately, they can't do anything. My advice for people who have deposited money to this scammer to contact the police ASAP. I think it is the same person who has been scamming users from online forums.

Man I f**king hate people like this.

I got done a few months ago from a different website, funnily enough it was for a ps3 also. I'll never do a direct bank transfer to a strangers account again.

I PM'd this guy and he seemed suss from the get go, I wasn't 100% though and I couldn't say "SCAMMER!!!" on his topic, but now I wish i had.

    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
