then he will just use something like www.hidemyass.com (http://www.hidemyass.com) and get around it.

^^^exactly buyers need to be more cautious and ultimately either accept a risk or reject it outright this site can't fix the nature of the internet

But yeh mate, in my opinion, 100-150 bucks is fe to be dealing over websites/forums, but when you are looking at handing over 1000-1100 thats something id be making sure nothing can go dodgy. Like you said, ur out of pocket now cause this loser did this, if it was like 100 bucks it may not hurt so much an u could afford to cut ur losses. You really gotta take into account the worst thing that can happen man, cause theres so many dodgy basturds out there these days, they hide behind their forum names an try catch people out to make a few bucks... Dont trust neone unless you know em in person i reckon... best of luck mate Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I hate pricks like that ruins what a great place the internet can be for car people We bought a turbo off someone from here $1400 into his bank account had absolutely no issues with it. This makes me think twice about doing it again

Rumbala court charter towers

hey i sold some stuff the other week and the buyer got me to take a photo of me head with the my license right beside so he had my address and license number and could check id to makes it a bit harder to rip someone off i guess, i went to school with his brother in charters towers but havent been back for 10 yrs but i.ll give a few old mates a ring and see what happens,

Mate that sucks . there are low life's out there. you would think being a member on here it would be safe but its not good luck with the police i got ripped from a guy on here also for $950.00 but i know now a lot of info about the guy who ripped me, when i went to the police they basically said why did u deposit that sort of money into an account you don't know your own fault. i hope he gets knock out and the birds eat his eye balls its sound harsh but stuff them .

**** is farked, ruins it for genuinely honest people doing deals

had a mate in nsw that got ripped by a bloke in vic over an ecu, money deposited no contact for a month after, he then went through the bank and after many phone calls from collectors to the scammer the bank took money out of his bank, maybe try that route
