beware of DESCR8

[g00kb0i]

Hello,

I live in the US and only read the posts on here.

About 7 seven months ago, Mr. XXXXXX (DESCR8) had enlisted a t51r spl kit for sale which included the manifold, wastegate, and the turbo itself. The lot was listed for 9500 AUD. but due to him needing the money quickly, he lowered the price to 7400 AUD. So i jumped on the deal and sent him the wire transfer. The transfer took about a week to get because the wire had to first go through the main HQ in New York. As soon as he recieved the money, he said that the package was ready to get shipped out and all i needed to do was arrange a pick up. I used my fathers shipping company to arrange for the pickup, but what he said what happened was that he left it on his doorstep and left thinking they would take it. So now im getting fustrated and tell him to send it anyway he can and that i will send extra money to pay for the shipping. But he wanted me to arranage another pickup by UPS. So i did, but his reply was that he had recently acquired a new job and that i shouldnt arrange the pick up. so i tried to cancel it but too late and the pickup carrier had arrived and i guess he got in trouble by his boss.

He is saying that i had wired the money incorrectly and that it went into the wrong account. how is this possible ? If the name and the account number dont match up, im pretty sure the bank would notify you.

here is what he wrote regarding to what has happened.

all in all, PLEASE do not deal with this "seller," if you can even call him that. He can only be described as shady and deceitful.

If anyone can help, please do. If not then hear this as a warning.

already been banned from forums for dodgy dealings.... best bet would be to call his work... XXXXXXX and tell his boss XXXXXXXX OR... XXXXXXXXX

[boj01]

Sorry to hear about your big loss dude. That kinda shite really makes you think about how secure that kinda banking is!

[Driver]

if you got his bank details which im sure are correct goto the cops and try get him busted..

[G0DF4Th3R]

come on SAU

use our collective powers to bust this guys ass

[Zagan]

I'd say and I guess you already know this is, but the monay has probably been spent by him to get himself a T51 kit for his car or what ever.

Seems odd to me why he would be giving dody details to someone who wants to hand over the money but anyway.

Personally all these posts show is that you never buy anything via paypal sites or ebay crap sites.

A complete waste of time and money, I have other frineds who buy a few computer things via ebay because some guy at his work buys all his computer stuff via ebay, he has said he wins some and loses some all the time on ebay.

I guess your lucky in that it's only cost you about half to 75% of that amount of money.

someone go down to campsie and **** him up. simple.

thanks for all your kind works. the problem is that i am in the United States and its hard to get over there. Not hard but just a time waster.

And i didnt buy this over ebay. He had listed the products on the for sale section.

sorry to hear ur story dude

im sure some guys in syd would like to put the hard word on him n harass him follow him n make him watch his back

hell id do it but i dont live in syd either

g/l getting anything off him

[Fitzpatrick Speed Works]

dude i know its a dick around but organise some debt collectors in sydney to pay him some visits in pz they only charge a 3% commission on recovery so its worth your while!!! Also remember to add +61 to the local numbers mentioned in this thread as you are calling from overseas oh and drop that 02 and just use 2!!! Im sure some debt collectors have a website, get on there give them all the details you have....Hope this helps!!!!

[dairyboy]

3% commission? Times that by 5-10 then that should be right

[Viscount]

g00kboi. Hold onto the emails. Emails are now classed as legal documents.

Then send some debt collectors around to him like some people have suggested, or contact the police.

You have his bank details, so you at least know who he is and where he probably lives.

[Serious-Seven]

He tried selling me stolen cars. i have all his details buddy give me a pm im quite happy to chat to you.

[g00kb0i]

Thanks everyone for your advice.

He had everything ready to ship, so he said, and therefore i thought that it was a done deal and i didnt need to waste my email space so i deleted most of them. all i have is the copy of the wire.

I tried calling his bank to verify that the 7500 AUD was deposited but the lady said that it would violate their privacy policy and that they couldnt give out the information.

Its been so long that i dont even think i will get the money back. But if i could help out others by saving their time and money by telling them what i went through, i think it would be better. .

i tried calling like a dozen times but to no success. 011+country code+city code+number but all i get is the recording that the number has been disconnected.

Was it a direct deposit into his account? If you transfered the money from your account directly into his account then your bank should be able to trace the money and make sure that it went into his bank. I had a problem a few months ago, it cost me about $30 but they were able to trace the money and confirm that the other person had received the money.

I know for a fact that he has recieved the money. There can only be one name with one account number that the money can be deposited into. And even if what he said happened, its very unlikely that the bank would hide it. They would just pay him back with a lot of interest for the confusion they caused on their part.

[Serious-Seven]

offcourse the money went threw. he ript you off clean and clear.

Try calling his mobile.

yeh that too

[NRB]

I know from personal experience that if the account number and name don't match, the money is returned to the original account.

It's 100% clear he's walked off with your money.

[hungry6]

I remember he PM me offering some gear when i had a posting in the wanted section,

But i decline the offer after speaking to a few forum members.

Try the australian federal police on this matter and you might be supprise, cause atm, they're having a HUGE crack down on internet crimes.

Just forward the all the correspondence u had with him and anything else that u might have on hand.

good luck.

personally i would grab a flight and just rock up at the front door.

distance is irrelevant when personal satisfaction could be had.
