Beware of the FRAUD!!! - Ducati.ms

Hi everyone, just wanted to report some fraudelent activity from one of the forum members here... I ve already been tricked into one of his schemes, so don't want anyone else fall into this. I bought from him an ECU... it supposed to be DP ECU but it turned out to be stock. He insisted it was DP but it wasn't... I asked him to trade back, but he insisted I should send him the ECU first, than he would return money. I was reluctant to send him the ECU because he tricked me once and I didn't want it to happen again. But, after some time I reported it to my bank and the police, sent him back the ECU and now he says exactly what I expected... that I sent him back not the ECU he sent me... he refuses to send me back either ECU or the money. So now its time for police to take on the action.

His name is [name and address removed. If the alledged scammer is actually convicted, then post the information of the conviction, otherwise it's all hearsay]

His nickname was "buggsz24" but since he tricked me he either changed it or deleted his profile from the forum or whatever... anyway all his messages now show numbers as his nickname.

His e-mail is [removed, see above] and he works at [removed, see above].. I think.

So beware of this guy! He is a scam! [this has not been proven and is opinion]

That is so aggravating. Why do people think it's ok to do this kind of shit? Hopefully he gets what's coming to him.

I really doubt you'll see any money or an ECU....you got scammed, police aren't going to do shit.

Anyone live near him and wonna go see "why" he did this and pick up the money at the same time, just take 1 or 10 of your mates along for the ride.

I am sure there would be other goodies that could be retrieved as payment too, underground justice works well when our system doesn't!!

What ever happened to Trust and ones word and to seal the deal a hand shake? POS!
Especially among our own , If selling a part maybe mark it with a scratch or something permanent in a unseen spot?

I bought my Property which I built my house on a Promise and a see you on that date , never even crossed my mind that the guy wouldn't come thru...

I agree with Monstaman...send big Luigi over there ,put the squeeze on him , let him know others are watching him.....
