So lets get this straight. Last sign in for this member was 05/09. A year and a half later you come on this forum and are asking for help. I'm confused. A while ago should not be 1 1/2 years.

I exchanged a few PM's with him back in '09. At the time he said he lived in Del Mar, CA.

Weird story, hopefully we're getting the full gist of it. Sucks you've been had, but definitely learn from this mistake. When dealing with money, and buying/selling, never trust ANYONE!!!! Cover your own a$$.

I remember him, he used to post here a lot, when I first signed up. Didn't seem like the type of guy who would do something like that, but I guess you never know.

Benz-O-Rama coming through with the detective work, lol.

benz-o-rama thanks for all the info. i will try to use that info.

basically for a while i was trying to get a hold of him and he would reply but one day it just stopped and i just gave up. I decided i would try this method and see if i could find more info about this guy and thankfully to some members like yourself i have more info.

I purchased a euro command from him and he was supposed to get the wheels for me but ended up not delivering them. It was my bad to trust him and was pretty embarrased i let this happen to me but figured i would give it one more shot and see what happens. The name Janet sounds familiar because he would mention he had a business partner in some clothing business. He went by the name of Jay.
Thanks again!
