Buyer Beware: Member "Old Skool"

I had to open a paypal dispute against him for a set of HRE wheels that he listed for sale on this forum. I paid for them almost two weeks ago and still no wheels. I asked for shipping/tracking info and have not heard back in a week, though I know he gets notifications on his phone from our previous back and forth PMs BEFORE he took my money. Also in shady behavior, a couple of days after listing them he deleted the thread despite me posting in the thread that he had sold the wheels to me. I started worrying then but he responded to a PM at the time so I gave him the benefit of the doubt.

He has several items for sale in the classifieds and I advise you to steer clear.

After speaking with other members who he has attempted to scam or successfully scammed, it looks like this low-life's game is to say he still has these parts for sale and keep collecting money for them. Who knows if he ever did or not, but I have proof he is still offering them for sale even after having "sold" them. He even deleted the for sale thread because I posted in it saying that the item was sold to me, when other parties were starting to volunteer payments.

Paypal

Paypal sided with me after he didn't respond, and I was able to get my money back despite this douchebag's attempt to steal it.

Sorry to hear about your experience. I hate people like that.
Glad to hear Paypal helped out. They are on the buyers side.
