FrontMounted · 07-14-2004, 01:58 PM

I bought something from him using the forums last week and he got the money order a week ago because I sent it next day air express mail. I have not heard anything from him in a week now. I have sent emails and PMs. He is in Florida. Does anybody know him??

Yeah i sure a local guy would be more than happy to drive to the local police station to inform them of whats going on.

Or maybe a little

This is the email from him telling me I am the buyer:

You've got yourself a deal. I will ship it to 78413 for $1600. A money order is just fine, as I do not use paypal anymore (identity theft victim, long story). A money order is fine with me, send it to:

I found out it really is a scam. Some other guy said that Cyclone told him he could buy it 2 days after I sent the money. Also, the guy that bought the intercooler from him is having the same thing happen. roro8633 bought the intercooler from him and sent a money order. roro8633 said that the same thing is happening to him also. So Cyclone has already scammed 2 forum members.

He was smart to give a P.O. box and not his house. But thats messed up.

Greg_04-SRT4 · 07-14-2004, 08:07 PM

Honestly, i would contact the West palm beach police department and let them know whats going on. Get the other victims info or give the the info of the detective you speak with. They should be able to help you guys a little.

Well depending on what the trace is and what ISP he uses. If he uses a static IP then they will be able to pinpoint to what cpu is used. But, if its a proxy - it wont help as much for they usually can go to a larger area - like AOL can go all over the world and it always traces back to Virginia (not very helpful).
