There's only one D SHAW in Sydney;

361 Kent St
Sydney NSW 2000
(02) 9279 0787
I doubt that's a match though - that's a pretty expensive apartment building by the looks of it.

With the BSB being the CBA in Martin Place....it does add up though

thats how things are bought online lol

That's how people get scammed and why sites like this are full of scammers taking advantage of that mentality.

Use PayPal or COD if you can't see the goods in person. Criminals and honest folk dress the same.

Whilst i get your point, it's not that easy with online sales.. paypal is useless and in my 3 disputes (fake items, items not showing up) they have never returned my money even with their your covered policy. and COD is just not always available.. It's just the way of the internet..

Sorry to hear for the OP.

It's not the way of the internet at all. If it's not safe, simply don't do it...or be prepared to lose your cash. Like I said it is this complacency that makes this place such an easy target for scammers.

I've never had those issues with paypal. I've given them records of PM conversation and they've asked sellers for postage tracking numbers and I've been able to resolve every case I've ever opened. PayPal is usually enough to scare away most scammers. In any case, it affords you that extra protection over and above a bank deposit. You can also make the seller put up an eBay listing so you can see their feedback...I don't know of anyone who doesn't have access to an eBay account these days.

Fake items might be hard to prove, but that can happen in real life transactions too. This is about the goods never turning up at all. Just because transferring money blindly to someone online may be the only way to buy something off someone, does not mean you should necessarily buy it. People get so desperate for the parts they are chasing, that when they spot a good deal, they put on blinders to how dangerous what they are doing is and sometimes end up still without the part and minus a lot of money.

It really is the internet equivalent of some random guy in a carpark offering you electrical goods and you giving him your cash and saying can you come back next week with the goods. How often do you think that guy is gonna turn up?

Have some patience and take some precautions people - in 90% of scamming cases I see on here, both of these are missing from the buyer.

thanks for the support guys!!

I have some people on the right side getting more info on this guy. I have 150 cousins in sydney (really).

three of them are c#ps

who ever owns that account, is going to cry

They still need to be discreet until they can draw definitive evidence.

Requires lots of Qs + the right Qs + collate corroborative data.

Might take a while.

You deposited funds into a random person's bank account before receiving the item?

You would send out parts to a random person before receiving payment?

Just saying.

No I'd use PayPal or the many methods of doing it safer that I've already mentioned. No wonder scammers succeed with idiots like you around.

Just saying.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
