Guest Sircnay Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 This is copied from another forum: Okay so I have an SR20DET 240sx. My T25 died on me and I sent this guy who lived in Columbus Ohio $200 to ship out turbos for me. Well I found out that he's a scammer and he hasn't been sending out the stuff. I've collected the following information from him. His real named is David Darby but he goes under several AKA's. He told me his name is Justin Bonnell. I should've known something was up when he couldn't get the western union without an ID. *sigh* So now I'm screwed out of $200 which most isn't mine as another board member lent me some of the money. I'm only 18 and getting money is difficult. He gave me this address to send the MO to: 1111 s champion ave columbus ohio 43207 But according to the 300zxclub.net guys at http://www.300zxclub.net/showthread...;threadid=31036 he lives at 1408 S. 5th street in Columbus Ohio. He gave me this number to reach him at 614 3612799, but that belongs to someone named Tina who is obviously lying to me over the phone when I call her. So summarily, I've been scammed. Can anyone help me out at all? I live on the other side of the country and I can't do anything about it. I just found out that I'm going to have to go into surgery and I need the money to pay for it or else I'm screwed. So can somone please help me? I was sent here by Jack Pee. This is my story and it's one of MANY. Trust me on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RJ1074 Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 let the cops handle it... there isnt much else you can do. maybe gather all the information you can about other people he has scammed, and the infomation he has given out so you have stuff to go on in court,.... hire a private investigator....

Devils Advocate Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 Wasn't there a thread about this? We almost formed a posse, but then realized that We're Columbus Racing and are horribly lazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMeanGreen Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 People, this is the guy who got scammed. It may be a repost, but this time it's not heresy. It's the person who got fucked. Unfortunately, Chris, the addresses you've listed are like the Watts and Compton of Columbus. No one in their right mind would go marching through there trying to start a fight. Go to www.ifccfbi.gov and file a complaint. They'll give you a report number right then and there, and you can forward it to the guy who scammed you. I got fucked a few years ago on some rims from a guy on Oklahoma, and he didn't cooperate until he got the report number. I got all of my money back, including shipping. Try that and let us know how it goes. Good luck smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Nice Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 Whats wrong with Champion or 5th? I have frequented both. Sorry I didnt get to grow up in a "posh" neighborhood like you rich folk. smile.gif I do know people taht can get your money, but I really dont advise it, and Im not willing to risk their lives for someone I dont know, no offense. Sorry. Take the others advice and let the law handle it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sircnay Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 I've contacted the Attorney General of Ohio and I've sent him all the information that I have. I'm also going to contact the Police Department in Colombus. If anything he'll get jail time. Hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
