Scammed...
BEWARE of who you buy from. Make sure they are established on MBWorld if you choose to buy from a private seller here. Talk to them on the phone if you are not picking up the items in person. Do what it takes to ensure you are buying a real product from a real seller.
Take a look at what just happened to two members in the W211 AMG forum. They got scammed for over 2k each. Please take some time to read what a difficult process it is to go through.

At least they used documented means of payment.
And yes, "Sign me up, he has 9 posts now!!!"

watch out for ppl who are even established on this forum. i bought a set of wheels from someone who alot of ppl knew on here and vouched for. turns out, the wheels are all slightly bent and jacked up. but what goes around comes around.

The internet can be a scary place. I am always careful who I buy from. They need references and for over $200 I'm going to talk to them on the phone, have their address and phone number.
Looks like they are getting a lot closer in pursuit of this guy. Still have a ways to go but it's amazing what members of this forum have dug up thus far.

In my experience, the MBWorld members I've dealt with were honest about the items for sale. (Kleemann S/C and winter wheels/tires)
