Just didn't expect people on this forum to be scammers..... he seems to be a repuatable guy so I still cant figure out why he would do something like that ..... he drives a decent car so it's not like he doesn;t have $$$$ .... .but then who knows.......

Buyer beware - SCAMMER OPALW208 is on the move again

OPALW208 from mbworld.org = CLKAL from BenzWorld.org

He is now getting his friends to sell his parts online for him after running away with my money.

Sent him a money order for $550 for his brakes but never received what I paid for.....His excuse was that the item was shipped and got bounce back but when I asked him for the tracking number for the package, he fails to respond.....

yeah. i was arrested.

let me ask you something, since you want to poke your nose in other people's business.......

if someone sends you a money order for something you are selling, and then you deposit the money order in your bank and wait for it to clear.....once it clears, and you send the merchandise out to the buyer, how are you to be arrested?

Maybe in a third world country, or maybe where you live, but not in the US, buddy.

could this be a mistake of stolen identity? a few months back, someone was selling something, and some scammer made a very similar screen name in an attempt to divert the merchandise being sold..luckily the seller noticed it and didnt fall for it...can this be a similar situation? would some simple communication and verification of addresses solve this matter? cant hurt to try....

if you sent the merchandise, why would they call you a scammer? they should clear your name so whenever you sell something, there'll be no doubt. sorry bud, i just hate scammers!! i've been a victim too before. and fyi, i'm from cali

I dont believe this was a mistake in identity.... We have exchanged emails numberous of times......

What do you do when you keep asking the seller to provide the tracking number for the package and being ignored...... The only way I can confirm that this was not a SCAM was to see the tracking number which should tell me when and where the package was sent off......

https://mbworld.org/forums/classifieds/213683-fs-w208-carlsson-crs-full-set-kit-brand-new.html

When he said he emailed me 3 times of the tracking number, I definitely didn't get it...... he has my number or he can post the tracking info on here like I asked him to.......

like i stated several times in my previous posts: you have already received your item, and I have already emailed you the tracking number 3 times.

You can keep on posting negative crap about me on this forum. NO PROBLEM.

Many members know me personally from this forum, and they will vouch for me.

I'm done with this thread.

That's real funny.... You're done with this thread...

All I have to say is you got my money.... and I never got the brakes.... You keep saying you send me this damn email with the tracking number 3 times...... why dont you just post the tracking number in the forum so everyone knows who is hiding the truth .....

I admit I got nothing to loose because I already lost my money to you.....

People vouche for you because they never saw the real you......
