Wow so I have read the entire thread now. Sadly, it appears there was no tangible resolution. I have been scammed twice on the interwebs and here are my absolute rules regarding online transactions:
1. If using paypal. Never paypal balance. Always paypal through direct bank funds or credit card. Why? Paypal will never get your money back. The scammer will always liquidate his account and therefore paypal will rarely recover anything. Using bank or credit card allows for buyer protection and charge back, respectively. 2. If using paypal. File dispute if no communication/or if suspicious within 3 days. It take 4 business days for paypal funds to transfer to bank account. Filing a dispute does not involve paypal investigations but DOES lock the other party's account automatically. Then if needed, you can escalate to claim or cancel the dispute. If it is a large business they will take care of you immediately because filing a dispute = large problems for other people placing orders. 3. Never money order. Even though money orders are traceable and you can file complaint for mail and money order fraud with postal inspector, most authorities do not have the time or resources for negligible amounts. And by negligible I sadly refer to <$50000 :/. Basically, paypal is instead convenient; but that's all it is. Also, everyone beats to death the "if it is too good to be true then it probably is". Duh. Humans are inherently greedy creatures. We want more in life; we want better. It is ok to have ambition and hot deals , but protect yourself so you don't get screwed afterwards. <3 <3 |

I just chalked my loss of $210 for an OEM style painted spoiler to my own lack of common sense. I hope everyone involved with Trendix, dba's and anyone else get what they deserve...

wow this thread ruled... hah. This doesn't happen on the east coast cause he would have been found floating somewhere already if he tried that shit in Ny. I am sorry to those that got screwed. Anyone know what the final result was.. cause from the address and google earth I saw.. if I got scammed and lived within 4 hours of that location I would have been there in a heartbeat driving around the neighborhood looking for their cars, or waiting outside suite A.

yeah I re-read the thread. Lots of stuff finally make sense. When I first read it back in July, I had no idea what "studie" was. Nor did I have any clue who longtran and minipuck were ^_^

If you guys can get me more information on this whole fiasco, mainly what EXACTLY is happening, I can see if my buddies in high places can do something about it.
I need facts and what is exactly going on here, PM ME with it and please don't post here. The less the 'perp' knows, the better angle we will have, Let me just say that you will all get your money back, I will try my hardest to help out. |
