He Claims he has a HX35 for sale and its brand new... but on previous posts it was rebuilt with 500 ish miles the link show it all!!!

1G-3G Eclipses's Ads - DSM Classifieds

My brother was in the market for an HX35 and settled a deal for 275 shipped. send him the money via paypal and he emails me a week later said he send the turbo to the wrong guy and a whole cr*p of bull came out his mouth. almost three weeks later he wont anwers phone calls text or email and wont refund a dime!

now i have to put up with my brother cause i was the one that set all this up!

PLEASE DONT FALL INTO HIS SCAM!!!!
 
yea lots of scammers out there. I bought a 20g comp housing a month ago and nothing. Wont even PM me back!
 
If he got it through paypal he can file a complaint and get a partial/or a full refund. Call paypal and check it out. I had to do it once with a blowoff valve I bought that was broken.
 
yea, I filed a claim with paypal yesterday
 
Wow....three ads for the same turbo; two claim it's new, the other claims it's "recently rebuilt" with different pricing.

Looks like a shitty used takeoff turbo that someone painted flat black to me.


Since the one ad claims "Please dont pm me asking a million questions. Ive described what this thing is..." everyone that views this thread should PM the doosh and ask him what exactly he's selling.
 
ya he talked to paypal and they told him its possible he'll get his money back, but they aren't guaranteeing he will!

But im just Posting this to make it noticed that hes a scammer and to help others from getting screwed over!

funny thing is he gave me his number and that can tell me alot about him... if only he knew what kind of searching i can do hahah!
dont' even need his name, unless of course he stole that too!

Well Good luck to everyone else!

haha yes i agree!!! haha
 
Hope he gets his cash back man. I have a tube sock with "D" batteries in it just for douchbags like him. Lol.
 
Man, I hate to hear about this stuff. I just got ripped on a used cylinder head. I have an email from the guy saying there are no dings or dents on the gasket surface, yet the first thing I saw were irreperable dents right on the fire ring.
People who do this sort of thing should be prosecuted for fraud.
Good luck to you.
 
Thank god I ordered V3 instead of buying this turbo. I thought it was kind of weird when I saw them too
 
I think paypal is awesome when it comes to that stuff. My buddy had a similar situation and paypal got in contact with the seller and threatened him with paypal ban and something else and he gave my buddy the money next day. Paypal is awesome!
 
Hope all works out for you and your brother! I hate thieves!
 
how come when I said someone had screwed me over I got reported. I was trying to help out my fellow dsmers and im the bad guy? I got reported twice.

Same happened to me, I got a "Flaming, Trolling, Bashing" strike. Still on my record til this day. But honestly, this sort of thing STOPS SCAMMERS from scamming honest buyers on DSMtuners. This needs to be known.

And Paypal isn't that awesome, I'm still owed $135 or so. I've been scammed twice on here so far. And almost went for that $130 Holset turbo as well. But thought... "Hmmm, that's a lil too cheap. Probably trying get a bunch of buyers and rack up $2000 before the day is over from 18 buyers."

Not cool at all. Keep the thread alive.
 
I feel for you i bought a what i thought was a good condition 1g throttle body from someone on here and when i got it it was all broken, I hit him up and hey said he doenst have the money to refund me so i would have to wait tell he re-sells it.
 
Don't know your situation RonRonTSI, but this 1G-3Geclipses guy has recently posted ads, and doesn't have the intelligence to change the pics for 2 different listed turbos. I think that sKatershawn is just trying to warn some people that this guys newly posted ads(that seem to good to be true...)may be scams. I hate to hear when anyone gets scammed.
 
If the DSMers that get ripped of used our Buyer/Seller feedback tool, there would be less scamming going on. Instead, people use the forums to try and let people know about scammers, which does people no good who are looking at a classified ad from a member. Leave the member negative ratings and people will see it easier. I don't see any negative feedback for that user in the last year. That tells me he's a good seller. How are others supposed to know about your brother's dealings if he doesn't use the feedback tool?

Please use the system the way it's supposed to be used and you'll achieve the same goal more effectively. We specifically ask people to use the member rating tool in the profiles rather post this stuff here. It's more effective if you leave feedback in the appropriate area as opposed to the forums. Plus, we don't want people who weren't involved in the transaction posting more hearsay in threads like this.
