Lauren_Davinaz Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Hi I was approached by a user called Jukiol908 who said someone was selling an 08 350z bumper. I was a bit sus but I messaged this email and long story short they said they would send it, requested the money which I stupidly sent, thinking I would get a bumper. His responses were really quick… and I thought it was a bit weird but today…. After sending the last payment this person has not responded. Just said I’m on it. incase anyone else comes across this person beware i am sure this is a scammer. And so is the user mentioned above.

DoogyRev Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 This is why the forum has rules for selling items on here. You must meet the requirements to be allowed to sell. Looking at Jukiol908 they have made Zero posts since joining, forum members should always check things like this before buying something, more so from a private message out of the blue. Sorry you have been scammed 😞 and its sad to see its happened on this forum. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodgeevans Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 (edited) He msgd me but then deleted it claiming someone was selling a ChargeSpeed rear bumper I did some checks couldn't even find the user or post he was referring to checked his profile and gathered it was a scam His msg before it was deleted looked like this You must have missed the post of lewis09 about chargespeed rear bumper sale some days ago... I asked him about it and he said it's still available with him It was deleted before I tried reading it Edited February 3, 2023 by rodgeevans 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie_r32 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 He messaged me saying someone was selling a Nismo back box, seemed a bit strange but this post has confirmed my suspicions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly350z Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 To add to your woes, this person was 100% a scam. He messaged me Thursday saying they had a had a nismo exhaust for sale which I instantly disregarded as anyone who knows anything knows my nismo has a nismo exhaust... When I went to reply the profile had been deleted Genuinely sorry for you and hope you get your money back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brokermills@gmail.com I’m very sorry to read this @Lauren_Davinaz I did get one PM reported for Jukiol908 by a member, that matches the pattern you and others have posted in this thread. I banned the account on the 31st. Just now I had a look at the profile and message mailbox, but there’s nothing in there you don’t already know, that would be of help. Did you use PayPal to pay the scammer and have protection from them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Very sorry to hear this. If there's no for sale thread or you don't know the person, best leave well alone these days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I have to wait to see if they help refund my money. thank you everyone it’s nice having support when this happens. I should have known better but unfortunately all I could see was having the 350z bumper that they scammed me with. I’m usually really good with avoiding scams but this one idk.

Don’t beat yourself up, we’ve all made mistakes getting parts when we’re excited. It’s thieving bellends that are the problem, not you. Hope you get some luck with your bank. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren_Davinaz Posted February 4, 2023 Author Share Posted February 4, 2023 Yeah I’ll try not to, and I agree it’s so crap to think people take advantage of this, and thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodgeevans Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Yeah really hope you have some luck getting your money back and it wasn't too much. Some people really are a blemish on society. If I receive anything similar again I will be sure to post a warning message of potential scam for other users. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docwra Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Unless you know the seller personally (and sometimes even then) use Paypal, its pretty much scammer proof if you pay the fees. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
