Last month I ordered a radiator mount and transmission crossmember from two different members on this forum. Neither of them have provided shipping information for the parts or replied to my emails after I sent payment to them. When I tried to private message them through the forum it said "mailbox full message not recived." I would like to give them the benefit of the doubt but I'm also getting concered about their authenticity. If you've bought parts from Tbug05LTD or DeClutter please let me know how your experiance was and how long the parts took to arrive. Thanks!

It seems you aren't the first.

 

Summon, like this:
@Tbug05LTD or @DeClutter

@Tbug05LTD and @DeClutter

 

That’s not good. One hasn’t been on here since last summer (not a great sign) and the other is on right now, but quiet.

Hope your payment method can be reversed.

 

Agreed, NOT GOOD

Maybe he is digging for the part still
That is what happens to me when I sell something on Ebay
Sold one of these the other day, that I have had kicking around for 30 years
Soon as it sold, I panicked because I could not find it right away
Shipped now, and the guy is happy I hope

 

Moderators and Admin should be looking into this type of thing.

Tbug has not posted since 2023, maybe some else is using his account.

Declutter has 7 posts, new member. Who knows.


Never send money to an unknown or inactive member. There are legitimate members here, Rich @77&79F250 , who sell parts, or forum supporters. Let’s see if we can summon rich, maybe he can look into it behind the scenes.

 

Thanks everyone. I will try to reverse the payment this weekend if I still haven't heard anything from the sellers.

 

After some more diggin I belive @Piersmorg18 is posing as Tbug05LTD. Sorry Tbug for dragging you into all this! Both Piersmorg18 and Declutter are verified scam artists. I google lensed the photos of the parts they were supposedly selling. They're just copying and pasteing photos off ebay. I'm in the process of working with Zella right now trying to reverse the payment.

 

Thanks for letting us know. Who or what is Zella?

 

Zelle with an E is a payment app
Owned by a few banks, Wells Targo, Bank of America, Capitol One, JP Morgan Chase et al.

 

Declutter’s post history made no sense. A different vehicle in just about every post, supposedly from Austin, lists Idaho as his residence. 🤷🏻‍♂️

The other guy’s posts really aren’t much of anything. Hopefully, you get reimbursed, but a lesson learned as well for all of us.

 

I see those member are still active.

Hard to believe a mod hasn’t stepped in on this thread. Any other forum ive been on, mods and admin would be involved in this. Moderating (policing) has been abandoned here. Welcome to the ‘Community Team’ world.

Good luck OP, hope you get your money back.

 

I asked for a hard to find part and miraculously both those same characters had what I was looking for also! SCAMMER(S)!

 

Did you report the posts?

I have elevated the concern.

@art vandolay can you post a link to the threads in question?

 

I doubt you were scammed by an actual community member. Do not respond to requests directing transactional conversations off FTE. Stick to PMs only.

If you see a post or receive a PM offering you a phone number or email address to carry on the discussion, report the contact to the community team to act on. There is small triangle visible at the bottom of any post or private message that sends a report directly to the Community team to act on. It looks like this:
Please tap on that to alert the team who can remove the offender. cheers,robb
