Beware: LANeuroSurgeon

This guy is untruthful and a straight up scammer. He posted a fake address and phone number. Do not do any business with him.

Figured as much. He was also selling a Valentine V1 with all the trimmings for $210, and when i mentioned local pickup he started pressuring me to ship it instead. When i said i'll think about it, he never replied again. And the day after he DELETED THE THREAD.

one of his AIM accounts i believe is empowerme03, but he's only been online one time to talk to me about it, and that was it.

Thats interesting since both of his ads stated the pickup option. All but 1 of his FS were deleted by him. The other one got closed.

Yes, i was confused by that completely as well. I was actually going to pickup the very day i pm'ed him, but he no longer responded after he said "i'll let you know if this buyer falls through."

Maybe he said local pickup in LA to make it sound more legit?

yes, the iphone he was selling, i sent him payment for $285 through google checkout, he never sent me an email with a tracking, kept saying it will be shipped next week, which is this week, and yesterday after emailling him a couple of times he replied at night saying it was shipped but he never sent me a tracking # even when asking many times. I filed a fraud complaint with my amex as well and they will see whats up. He claims to be a doctor but unfortunately i dont even think hes a high school graduate for doing this like this.

Credit card company said it will take 30 days to review the claim..... I am fortunate enough to be blessed that losing the money is not the biggest deal.... I plan to get this scumbag.... Anyone have any information on this clown? I will pay a hefty fee for the name and address of this d-bag....

Mods can you check his IP and post it up. I could always take the money out of his wallet by getting his computer slammed.

I'm too almost fall to his trap for his iphone.. but after lame excuses and stupid reasons he gave me for not having a paypal account, I decided not to deal with this rascal.. & the price he offered is too good to be true anyway..

Feel sorry for you guys..zeek and rsatmans..hope this d-bag will get what he deserves..

Why dont you guys ask a MOD to look in the records and find out what IP he used. Then you can figure out who his service provider is, they will hav records of who used that specific DHCP address during the time the user was logged onto this forum. They will have his address, phone number and all his other info.

The best way to go about this would be to pull a WHOIS on the IP he used. This should get you to his general area and report him to that areas local police. They should have an internet fraud department and I am sure that they would love to take this case on especially after you guys have most of the proof they would need to convict this F**Kstick! Good luck slamming this lowlife!!
