Paid Scotty Boy for some rear Euro Lenses on 10/7, received a USPS tracking number that shows a label was printed on 10/7 but package was never received by the post office. I have sent a couple of PM's but no response, paid by PayPal so not worried about the money. I see he last signed in on Monday 10/10 anyone here have another way to contact him?

Oh yes, the scammer. Ask Era Vulgaris about him. Sold him a very nice looking polished turd. He purchased the car for himself and was quite proud of his "barn find". He even posted pic's of his find showing the rusted out areas he discovered after purchasing it. At that point he removed those rust pic's from his thread and sold the car to Era V., a new unsuspecting member. Tried to play it off but members here knew the difference and gave him the cold shoulder. For some reason he is allowed to continue posting in the classifieds here?????

Interesting, I just got a notice from PayPal with a full refund after filing a claim for non-receipt of the lenses a couple of hours ago!!

Here is Scotty Boy's response in the PayPal resolution center this morning after filing my claim:

"Mike here is your refund. I've been tied up at work all week with an inspection and didn't get a chance to ship your lens. Regards, Scott"


lol! Funny how he never responded to my PM's but when I filed a PayPal claim I got some action right away.

So his scam is to send you a USPS tracking number in hopes that you believe the item was shipped I don't believe he had the lenses or he sold them to someone else.

Beware!!!

This is why this site needs a feedback section like thesamba. I've been wondering why it doesn't.

Feedback is a good idea, but I don't see too many people using it on the SAMBA. I've purchased and sold a lot of VW parts there over the years ... I don't think I ever posted or received any feedback (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)


I typically acknowledge receipt and give thanks to sellers, as well as thanks to buyers in PMs ... sometimes on the World classified threads too.

Looks like this worked out well. Members protecting other members. Andy has a lot on his plate, so I'll take my world any way I can get it.

My guess is that Scotty Boy has more than 1 logon name and probably sells parts under more than 1 name. I just checked his Scotty Boy profile and he has not logged on since Monday which makes no sense. When you know you are getting bashed you sure would want to see the responses right?

Mike - He's scammed guys and been bashed but since he has been allowed to continue and not banned, he doesn't care what people say. He counts on selling to new members who don't know his rep.

I'll be bumping this thread once a week until he is banned. Just as a public service to other members.

I seem to remember threads about issues with other guys (specialint is one) that seem to have been deleted; including some about Scotty Boy. So; good luck with that.

Basically, it boils down to this. It's Andy's show, he doesn't ask for anything in exchange and I'm good with that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Maybe a thread called the wall of shame with links to the other threads with details. Banning basically means your playing wack a mole. He can re register as another user. Maybe som advice to new members, be cautions about new postings from people with no or very little previous sales. Only accept western union, want to over pay so you can pay shipping, etc......

Might be a public service kind of a posting, no need to say anything specific about a member only the previous dealings did'not pan out with links to their threads. I think the
MOs will start to show patterns that will educate potential buyers.

Not sure, and certainly not an excuse but I read somewhere that he was having personal problems. I PM'd him several weeks ago regarding some interior parts. He initially PM'd me and said he needed time. Haven't heard from him since.
