This is the reason why I love MBworld. We don't take kindly to posers, liars and especially scammers. Great work everyone.

Can anyone link those pics of the house to pictures posted from the Google-Maps linked earlier in this thread? I believe it was an aerial of an address in Boston. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=e...=19&iwloc=addr
How far is this address from the Best Buy and Gas Station?
Look at the consistency of this guys SN's on the different forums. Mentions such things as Josh, Boston, Chicago, among others. Judging by the things this guy boasts about, I would say we nailed it on the head when we traced it back to the college. Age range fits perfectly in with the behavior.
For those that have talked to this guy on the phone, does he block the number he's calling from or what? Any accent?
Is there a possibility that this isn't just ONE guy, that maybe we have stumbled upon a ring of guys scamming internet forums. From what I have seen of the guys posts, his typing and grammar have changed throughout the threads.
The guy is trying to run but is doing a ****-poor job of it.

I wonder to. He does go up and down the range of his typing. As in either, typing all drugged up, or sober. Night and day. However, the vocabulary doesn't really change.

I am beginning to think this clown works at that Best Buy. Why did he keep posting pics at different times in the same location/areas?
Timeless, you may be correct about posting findings. However, these postings and updates and helping to put the puzzle together to get him. He knows we are getting close, otherwise why did he edit his myspace, and other sites he is on?
BTW- I found the models of cameras from those pics:
1st set was taken by a Sony DSC-W80
2nd set was taken by a Canon Powershot s30
The set of the MB picture were taken by a Samsung S630
Too bad he did not save his name on the camera. It would have showed up in the author section. whoops....

somewhat moot now but I found a womens handbag shop located at the NYC
address provided early on. NY Sec of State has no application for OEM Headlights as a business entity in the state (or OEM anything close to car/parts).
though banning him is helpful, might it also slow down the progress towards
resolution? frankly, I feel that the more he's exposing himself, the more clues
we have. you can just update a list of IP addys and sobriquets being used, que¿

I used color brightness and gamma correction, all I can make out is 11:46 in the corner. No street names.

Here's a clearer version of it... looks like "FAIRFAX" in blue lettering, and the vertical street name looks like "OLD ???? RD". The street to the left (being engulfed by glare) is some AVE. Anyone recognize it? Looks like the green areas are state parks as well, and blues would be water.
If we can find out where that map is, just zoom google maps to scale based on the streets and parks and look dead center (assuming the MB nav keeps the car at dead center.) Then we can zoom into there via google satellite stuff and look for the place where he was taking pictures, there will probably be semi trailers and ***** everywhere.
None of the IPs showed up at George Mason, did they?

I just spent a long time and read this entire thread.
I couldnt unterstand why a thread about wheels for sale was 6 pages long, so I figured it was a scam.
Good luck finding this guy, and your credit card comapny should refund your cash quickly.

Anyone able to access tag databases?
To the scumbag scammer - A little knowledge is a very dangerous thing! (i.e. don't muck around with Photoshop unless you know what you are doing!).
To Timeless et al. and those who can use this information correctly, contact me because:
After doing some meddling of my own:
1. I have the temporary / dealer tag number on his Jag (outside the conv store)
2. The front licence plate on his MB coupe.
3. A partial back plate on his Jag.
Both the MB and Jag license plates are indeed MA plates.

Not really applicable but all this made me think of this song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPpUFBVSyWs
Front 242 Head Hunter
"Paint the line,
Spread the net,
Catch the man"
With such a rare car, could we not just find his registration via DMV records?
Guys, realize that some of the very posts in here that seem helpful may very well be him. Low Post counts are an indicator. All respect to new members who want to be helpful.

This is the same guy that had rims ( i think they were for a an S-class) that he was selling here. He directed the ad on here to an auction via ebay which was a private listing. Two people got robbed on that one.
He talks very smooth and when he is caught starts talking Ebonics.
Also didn't someone go to his house? Not the last but the scam before that someone said that they went to his house and he was hiding inside and wouldn't pick up the phone.

If one of the mods can verify that it's the same dude that started this thread (as alluded to by C3232c), and that MB coupe was his, then I definitely have his tag number - no joke. That should make it easier.
#292
Sup guys.
I'm a MOD from E46Fanatics.com
See you got a hunt going on here.
I remember those pictures from our site, and I believe I know the scammer
Gotta run to the store but when I get in, I'll join in on the fun.
I have my own IP List to share as well as some new info.
If the MODS would rather talk offline, just let me know
I LOVE this shiet!

Agreed - that's why I didn't post images of his tag numbers.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. When he came back showing his Jaq crap in the W203 forum, he came as himself and a fake mod from a Jaq forum.
So, the deal is, if you get some goods and share it with "him-C230_617" You'll be letting him know what we have.
Trust no one.

I remember reading that he sent a mem♦ber some rims that were supposed to be in "excellent condition" that turned out to be in really **** poor conditon with messed up tires. Its a long shot and if that member still has those wheels I would take them to the local police department for fingerprint dusting. Two latent fingerprints and his *** is finished.

Hey you're a photoshop God. Can you make out anything from the picture of the navigation screen?
