Am I the only one on this forum who got srewed by this person and his skills to abuse someone elses credit card through paypal?

I presume that this alan jefferies owns a 203 coupe in 040 black which currently has euro impact strips and mystic blue interior panels and clear sidemirror blinkers (as that is what he bought from us incl. shipping per FedEx IP).

The email address that he used was w203_amg@yahoo.com (in which the name Bobby Thom was used) and the email that was used for paypal payment was napoleonc32@yahoo.com (which is linked by paypal to rolande fecteau).

The shipping address was:
alan jefferies
139 sheldon street
boston - MA02126
USA

The fedex shipment was signed off by alan jefferies (according to fedex - tracking# 8462 1049 5001)

Anybody on this forum or in the boston area know this clown?

That sucks Steve, now I see why you stopped PayPal. Want me to go to Boston and be your enforcer?? j/k

MBenzNL

this is ONE of SEVERAL f@#*ers in ONE year...he happened to be the last one and the paypal service was exactly ZERO (or maybe even less)...so no more paypal

W203_amg was another alias for c230_617. We banned that member in 08-05. It appears that some of your parts were for sale on this forum by other aliases as well.

Napoleonc32 seems to be a newbie with a 0 post count at the present.

mthjoyce

sorry to hear that. i live in the boston area and did a search for that address - its in a section of boston known as Mattapan. Believe me, you do not want to go wandering anywhere near Mattapan - bad news....

Find someone to do hard-core collections for you in Boston, preferably a 7 ft guy that can intimidate him and get your money. That guy has been trying to sell your stuff on the forums but people knew something was fishy when he said he only took money order, no local pickups.

Jakpro1

Be cool if Steve had a self destruct mechanism built into his systems.

You screw Steve, then you are driving down the road and the unit just starts smoking......

Really sorry that happen Steve....you are too good a guy for that kind of stuff to happen.

white_w203

sorry to hear what happened. i hate scammers. if he only lived around the area i would make a get to together and hunt down that person and.......(you can fill in the blank)

We should have a scammers sticky or forum so that it can be brought up to everyone's attention. Remember the scammer in Brandon, FL... the Brabuscoupe guy? I just read that thread just a few weeks ago..........
Suggestions about "beating people up etc" are very immature and not helpful to people like steve. Sometimes it helps someone like steve out when there is someone local who can follow up with local law enforcement about situation. I am sure it's damn hard for steve to do it via thousands of miles away. Some things in life bear down to the principles in which we live. If we don't try to help each other out then we are in some aspects no different than the scum bags who scam us all. Hopefully someone can step up to the plate from the boston area steve! Good luck!

Brabusccoupe... mic230coupe... yep, we 'met' him through Paypal in the past - not a pleasant experience, either.

I know this guy, hes still active in mbklasse.com .

Steve, his nickname is benzpro230, and yet, he aint banned.

I even got screwed by a MBWorld sponsor (harton motorwerks). You are never sure who you are doing business with these days.

JohnCL

And he went by the name of "socleanice" here on MBWorld until he got caught yet again.

tifosiv122

Damn, I have been gone a while, who would think that Harris would screw people over? I looked up some of the older threads and saw the situation. I'm totally shocked.

Harris screwed a lot of mbworld members for lots of $$$$$

electromethod

Well... Steve is never going to screw anyone over. Some people you can be sure never screwing you over (like Steve), but Harris was one of those that never set well with me. Don't get me wrong, he was very polite etc but he always struck me as a fly by night. That's why I never ended up buying anything from him.

If you need help in the Boston area PM Pete ( 55fanatic ).

vdubpower

what are good alternatives to paypal, and how are people scrweing with it?

electromethod

Good Idea! btw... gotta luv the new smilies like stiggs said!

rrpnow

money first? obv still chance for someone to get screwed though...

OzSL55

You can say that again, I'm a good case in point. Paypal doesn't just discriminate against sellers, it f's up buyers too with it's limited time to make a claim. The frustrating thing is I need an easy intl' payment method like paypal, particularly when buying items off ebay. The best alternative I've come across so far is Moneybookers.com...

Hugedrive

Isn't this guy Tony supposed to take the business over from Harris and give us our money back ?

OzSL55

True, yet it's March and surprisingly no sign of this Tony person. Also the website is well and truly gone. The only Tony I'm like to see soon is Tony Soprano, when I get ahold of the new episode later on....
