I feel that there is something fishy about this seller

miticosport1968 · 11-19-2018, 03:39 AM

I plan to buy BM3 license for 300 and I make an offer for 250. He agreed with that price. By the way, he did not accept paypal transaction. However, this is his email.

Payments would be made via Walmart to Walmart transfer as my wife works in a Walmart store and has a verified and approved outlet I use often

Here are the details which would be required:

Name:Ashley Larsen
State:Alabama
Zip code:36582
City:Theodore

I'll send it immediately I confirm funds .

I found another case similar on bimmerpost before.

Smells like a scam. I wouldn't trust it.

The0pportunist · 11-19-2018, 06:53 AM

Tell him you have a friend who should be able to pick up locally for cash.

If he says yes, probably genuine.
If he says no, SCAM!

Tell him you are a Nigerian prince and you will pay him triple the price if he sends you $100 to help get your funds out of the Bank of Nigeria.

sometimes it's worth the extra cost to buy from a reputable business just for peace of mind alone.

vooonoo · 11-19-2018, 09:24 AM

Where are you buying from?

bkdore · 11-19-2018, 09:58 AM

I'd ask him for the name and VIN on the license and check with Protuning Freaks to validate that they have a license and it's eligible to be transferred to your name/VIN before sending any money.

Korvo · 11-19-2018, 10:05 AM

It's the new Paypal scam but without Paypal. I'd call the seller a moron and argue that nobody would fall for this, but people do....

ErkanTR16 · 11-19-2018, 10:08 AM

It's a Scam. Walk away from this.

Billfitz · 11-19-2018, 10:47 AM

Never use Walmart transfers for anything other than to family. Anyone who does not use PayPal is not legitimate.

izaazk · 11-19-2018, 11:06 AM

Scam... same user pulling same shit with me on coilovers

2 people scammed and no one posts the scammers nick on the forum. And a BM3 License is a simple email code. What part of shipping it to your house or commercial center did not set off warning bells?

Amazing that people do not do a quick Google search as they are so happy to lose money.

And have posted multiple times about this person since the beginning of the year

That's a scam, someone tried that with my brother when he was trying to purchase food truck for his business..

Always use PayPal/Credit Card or no deal..

PayPal always has gotten me my money back, even when I when I was being kind of unreasonable with something I had purchased used and didn't really deserve a refund.

When you do not reveal his current nick, how do expect him to be blocked?

miticosport1968 · 11-19-2018, 05:34 PM

His name profile was "Baw1"

And just like b4, posts 20-30 comments about how nice an owner’s car look like to run up post count....and get owners to give him appreciates.

All the time while scamming newbies via personal message.

Banned now

Thanks mods.

Bo-vice was almost the next victim.

But they will clearly just create new account and do it all over again.

Be smart with your money as many are looking to take it.

mike@x-ph.com · 11-20-2018, 12:34 AM

You did good OP by posting before giving him your money

miticosport1968 · 11-20-2018, 01:37 AM

By the way, I have already bought the BM3 contain all OTS maps from Mike with such a great black Friday deal!!!

miticosport1968 · 11-20-2018, 01:39 AM

Buyer beware. If you guy wants to get the BM3 for a low price, buy it now from Mike Extreme power house! don't buy anywhere else because you can not find a better deal than this.
