How far is this address from the Best Buy and Gas Station?
Look at the consistency of this guys SN's on the different forums. Mentions such things as Josh, Boston, Chicago, among others. Judging by the things this guy boasts about, I would say we nailed it on the head when we traced it back to the college. Age range fits perfectly in with the behavior.
For those that have talked to this guy on the phone, does he block the number he's calling from or what? Any accent?
Is there a possibility that this isn't just ONE guy, that maybe we have stumbled upon a ring of guys scamming internet forums. From what I have seen of the guys posts, his typing and grammar have changed throughout the threads.
The guy is trying to run but is doing a ****-poor job of it.

I checked all around the 200 Talbot Avenue address in Boston but it's an industrial area and looks nothing like the house where the Jaguar was parked...
Take a look:

Dang... Thanks Oxygen for looking.
Can you guys imagine what this guy is doing right now? There's no way he can sleep, he's gotta go cover his tracks. By now the internet trail is narrowing him down. Do you notice that everything linked to here on this thread is being closed/edited/etc...
Point is: Don't mess with a forum of passionate luxury car enthusiasts that HATE posers, fakes, and scam artists because you likely to get OWNED!!!
Still some work to do on this guy, but if/when he is caught, alert Fox and maybe they'll do a story with him like they did with the Mustang Man.

The one 617 number I called him back on that he did answer was disconnected the next time I tried it...maybe it was a stolen cell phone?
He has a slight accent and sounds a bit not too bright. And it has only been one person that has ever called me. His supposed regional manager called Teolax and had the exact same voice.
Authorities will have him this time and at 22 years of age he will do hard time and be about 40 before he sees daylight again.

Which is why I have not been posting any progress on here. He is reading everything posted here and making corrections. Unfortunately with this being a public forum we are helping him by posting things we find here.

You guys are on the scent for sure!! Very nice cooperation and reasoning by all. Get the guy so we can have another notch on our belts. He can tear the internet up, but he shouldn't have come here. Who are the members here that got ripped? By how much? Lets get it back!!

Very understandable. Whether it takes posting in here or private work, this guy just needs to go down.

I can tell you that his caller ID always says 'PRIVATE' when he called me.
The one 617 number I called him back on that he did answer was disconnected the next time I tried it...maybe it was a stolen cell phone?

pics of the benz, and pics of the jag were obviously taken at two different times, but the location is the same. look at the trailers --> bozzuto's owns two (trailers 205053 & 205100) phone 800-243-9781. the other is tagged with DNR88518, but no name. can someone go past the best buy and see if DNR88518 is there for storage? bozzuto's should be able to give locations on their trailers also.

Might be a stretch, but does anyone think this picture can be cleaned up a bit and get an idea of the area off of the nav screen? I tried it but my inferior photo software wasn't up to the task.
