Do not buy from any parts from any of these emails it is a scam and Pay Pal will do nothing about it-- they will show you picture of item but will never send it after paid by Pay Pal-

They may have spoofed the Pay Pal site. Pay Pal has always been good for me. Maybe they are in cahoots with 2040parts.com.

 

How did you run into these people? Were they responding to a Wanted ad on here?

 

That’s a shame. I have always done my best to satisfy my customers. Nothing better than a good reference or referral.

 

You've given their emails but what are their businesses called..? Where are they advertising..?

 

Were they supposedly members here? Were they selling something that one of us may have for you instead?

 

I was given the email address on this site that this guy had one it was under my ad looking for the Exhaust manifold-- he send me pictures--look good went to pay pay for it-- never showed up-- he said it went to wrong address -- then never answered back after that-- And Pay-Pal is a JOKE after all these years they are passing the buck and protecting seller do not want to do nothing--

 

Scumbags have been doing same on Ford Barn for ages. Unless they are a known member with a significant number of "real" posts, avoid at all costs.

 

F100supercrew, did you select the additional PayPal protections for purchasing an item for 3% of the item cost, or did you pay via Friends and Family with no protections? If the later, that completely explains PayPal's position and response.

 

Find out the address they shipped it to, if that's possible, and go from there.
You can also do this to find out who they are.

The scams I am aware of don't really ship anything, because they don't have the parts they claim to be selling. When pressured for a shipping number, they make one up.

 

I learned a lesson recently. I tried to purchase a Milwaukee buffer from the internet from what looked like a legitimate site."SHOP RITE.com" Giving me added(false) confidence was the PAYPAL ONLY payment option. There was contact info etc. I DID NOT verify the contact info until after And all of that WAS BOGUS. a search for the particular Milwaukee Buffer model I was seeking produced this website as a Google search. I have done this EXACT same thing a billion times. I made my purchase AND decided to give my personal info to make "an account" at checkout. I could theoretically have checked out as "a guest".. In the future I will ONLY do that check out as a guest to make sure the transaction happens the way it should before giving up passwords etc in an account set up..I will exercise the contact info prior to giving payment ALSO..This was a fairly sophisticated operation that was a complete fraud. I DID recover my funds from PayPal. What I did NOT recover was personal info including one of the passwords that I may or may not re use for these type of accounts I set up....I know many of you do the same with using a password for more than one thing. Well THAT password for THIS account is now dead to me.....anywhere else it "may" have ALSO been used has a new password now. Very cleaver how this was done...I believe the perps intent was to collect passwords and try his hand at identity etc theft.....When checking out I suggest... unless it is a very trusted organization/company that you check out as a guest and afterward decide if you will make a more permanent account where you give up more info after you get the item and things go as you had thought they would.... What triggered my first suspicions was that a confirmation of account set up email was NOT sent to me.....that caused me to go try to contact them...a false phone number was offered. The poor person receiving calls had a voice mail message warning that a scam was underway.....Im sure that phone number was deactivated in short order...I was upset with PayPal originally because they had no provisions to talk to them and they seemed unresponsive to act QUICKLY,,,,I wanted them to call that Listed "Contact" phone number to get the same experience I had..BEFORE the phone was deactivated.....they have no provision to act that responsively. Like I said they did act in my behalf inside of a weeks time...but there was NO guarantee that that was going to happen and it was uncomfortable at best to just file an internet only complaint were you had no real way to make your claim and refute anything the other party had possibly claimed. The PayPal code for the transaction from the "Seller" was "Services Rendered" or something like that where it would have been difficult to refute from the consumers end.....Buyer" beware....is alive and well for how you should treat websites...

 

That jenniferkoop name seems slightly familiar.

I got taken earlier this year. I was trying to find an adult tricycle for my dad. They've been sold out everywhere and when you could find one they were wicked expensive. I found one at an online store for a "too good to be true" price on a Schwinn Meridian adult trike. That should have been a big red flag, but I was so excited to find one in stock at a store that I ordered it. I never received it. I started looking into the website and the address was to some scummy looking house on the east coast somewhere, no where near where the store claimed it was. I tried emailing the seller a few times. I finally put in a complaint through paypal and my credit card company.
I'm still fighting it. My credit card company denied my claim because the seller provided shipping and delivery proof via a tracking number.
I looked up the tracking number. It shows a shipment and delivery made 2 weeks prior to my purchase date and to an unknown address in my town. I submitted all of this back to the credit card company. Supposedly they are "reviewing" the additional info. The case is still open and pending. It seems like that jenniferkoop name appeared as one of the emails of the seller

I think that this is common and that a lot of people give up on getting there money back. I'm going to stick to it. So far its been at least 6 months jacking with this

With all this scam and password talk I thought I'd relate an experience I had a while back.

I got a few emails from someone claiming they turned my "device", didn't say laptop, PC, Ipad or phone, into a two way system and have recorded me watching **** on the internet and if I didn't transfer $2500 dollars to a bit coin account within 24 hours they would post screen captures of the videos of the **** and me watching it on all my social media sites. I received about half dozen of these within a two month period, the amount requested was different every time but the wording was pretty much the same. I just blew them all off as a scam until I got one that stated a password I used, it was an old one that I hadn't used in a long time but still, it was one of my passwords. I couldn't figure out how they got it until a day or two later. I got a notice from Credit Karma notifying my that Linkedin had their system hacked and personal information was stolen. I checked and sure enough I had used that password for Linkedin. Scammers are pretty smart people, too bad they don't use their smarts to do good.

 

Most of them can’t pass background or pee tests, or live in countries where doing good isn’t profitable.
