MODS:

I just want to say fabulous job on the management of this thread. Closing it to review information is great.

I have been following this thread from the very very beginning and it was getting to much to handle.

FELLOW MBWORLD MEMBERS:

This guy may seem pretty stupid, but think about it, he's just stupid enough to scam several of you.

Besides the overview, has anyone sorted this entire thing into a folder with subfolders detailing and connecting dots?

I've been following this since page 1. Keep it up guys and set an example for anyone else who thinks they can get off lightly with internet scams. The less of these people on the internet the better.

I for one have been following this thread since page 1!!! I heard about it from Tristatetuners.com. This thing is EVERYWHERE!!! Anyway, I want to say you guys are absolutely ridiculous. LOL I've never seen anything like this on any forum I've ever been a part of. Great job and keep up the good work. I agree that these people, whomever they may end up being, need to be made an example of. NO one likes to get scammed out of their money.

And on a side note...I know a lot of joking has gone on during this monumental thread. But on a serious note, please no one do anything that may jeopardize all the hard work so many people have put into this. That means no harrassing individuals, no passing out their information etc. I know this is my first post so I don't have a leg to stand on, I just don't want these scum****ers to get off on a technicallity. Either way, keep up the stellar work. Words can't descride how impressed the automotive community is about how this is being handled!

Checking in from Toyotanation. Read from pg1 starting last night, great story you guys go there, quite similar to the Beyond incident which I found quite interesting.

Funny enough we have never heard of this guy even though we are quite a large board of members. Perhaps his cockiness deems Toyota owners not good enough for him to spend time on.
I believe this sets the precedent for the amount of info dug up without anyone ever seeing this guy on the road.

I'm kind of part of the family too because my mom drives a 06 C280 4matic.

people from the bay area shouldn't be confirming anything in boston. leave this to the locals and wait it out. i'm sure many of the people reading this have called the store and it's probably obvious to the management that something is up by now.

Awesome story guys. I have really enjoyed reading this, though I have wasted two hours and I didn't even read all the pages...

Reporting from Motortrend.com... just a user though. Another user made a thread about this on Motortrend.

Keep it up detectives.

I will make sure I keep an eye out at Motortrend forums and alert one of the admin's just in case they didn't read that user's thread I mentioned above.

So is the store email cambridge@apple.com? (I think it goes directly to one of the managers)

And his is likely jturner@apple.com?? (correct me if I'm wrong; all apple employees usually are assigned first initial-last name or something like that...)

BTW, one email to the mgr. to reveal what's happening starts the domino effect on him, so be cautious....

I do know that mostly all Apple employees have emails with first initial and last name or first.lastname@apple.com (kinda like sjobs@apple.com or steve.jobs@apple.com)

radio guys?

Anybody out there in the area have a police scanner or know anybody that does? Sure, it's low tech, but it'd be good to find out as soon as something happens.

2001 audi s4!
this would make a great tv show. Maybe on like law and order. We should call the writers and tell them about this. Maybe have a video when he gets arrested and encorp it in the show!

i've been following since page 1 and i am having a hard time. After like page 33, it jumped to 40 in like an hour or so. It is amazing the bond that we can exhibit for fellow car owners and forum members.
I am just simply amazed
oh, gratz to the two guys for getting their money back!
But, don't stop at getting ur money back, continue and prosecute until conviction!

Creamcheese is the guy in the pics.
boss don incarcerated is apparently one of his best "friends"
boss douche certified used creamcheeses eBay account/address for some of the scamming. Thousands.
He probably got a nice cut.
