Don't get me started. I have three names and three numbers all with 617 area codes. He almost always calls from a blocked number. I haven't checked to see if any of the numbers match from other transactions. He said he was in NJ during my transaction and went under the business name "Direct Sales."

I have a W. Johnson (got this name from DHL), Mike Keller (name from phone conversation with scammer), and Suri Takeesh (BAD, BAD indian accent on my voicemail). I actually have a voicemail of him talking in his indian persona. It is comedy. I think he forgot who he was calling because he never spoke to me as an Indian prior to the voicemail. I called him out about leaving the voicemail in an Indian accent when we spoke on the phone. He denied, denied, denied it. After I hung up with him, he called me as Suri Takeesh less than a minute later. What a jacka$$!

I really hope this guy gets apprehended.

5. Word spreads, and as info comes out, linked to other frauds involving people in other forums and in the past.
6. People from all over the world, are able to link back to him through IP's and
email
7. He keeps claiming innocense, but then the actual owner of the wheels speaks up. The pics were stolen, no wheels existed for the perp.
8. Buyers in his ebay auctions speak up, and we find he has collected thousands through ebay for the same wheels again, + xenon light sets
and other items.
9. The ownage becomes firm, as the evidence piles up.
10. Photoshop guru's able to strip away white areas blocking the license #'s and they become evident.
11. Attourney's, law enforcement, people working for DHL (the shipper)
all jump in the fray, and the identify and address is found.
12. DHL pull packages off a truck in Texas with the tracking #'s given and finds them not to be wheels, but empty boxes and books.
13. Perp issues refunds to the 2 people on the forum, but too late, and they haven't actually seen the refund yet, supposedly in process.
14. Admins from sites all over the world pool resources and find the many many usernames, email addresses and IP addresses used by the perp, and match them up.
15. A member gets pictures of the actual house with matching cars out front.
16. VIN #'s get run and match those of other info identifying the perp.
17. The evidence speaks. We are waiting for the arrest!
I'd rep you if the rep system was available here.

Thank You!
