Don't know if any of this info helps.

hmm...

could you get an exact branch location?

ambition? could you get a branch location as well? douchebags are creatures of habit. they'll use the same location if they don't think they're gonna get caught...

you could get someone to set up a buy from him, and sit on the WU branch until he picks it up - you know, head up there first and tell the clerk to signal you when the amount comes across - pop in and pay the booger a little visit.

Wow, I'm glad I saw this before I made the same mistake. I was seriously considering buying this but I asked him a question about it on ebay and his response was a link to a geocities website with a fake ebay login ( http://www.geocities.com/aforaccord/...y.htm?20077%20 ) I called him out on it and he hasnt given me a response. I knew something was wrong when this happened. Then I sign on to Scionlife and see this thread. Theres obviously something very shady going on here. BTW, the email address hes using is ddaallstar11@aol.com.

i would say we should get the word out to as many scion owners as possible to red flag this guy. i would post a bad comment on his ebay accoutn except since i technically didn't buy this from him on ebay i can't comment on his account.

Someone needs to bid on this item and win it. That way you can request his personal information from eBay. Or, you can select the money order option and see who and where you are sending the money to. (don't actually pay for the item)

WOW. be careful when you buy stuff from ebay, you have to read everything to make sure you are not getting played out of your money.

I just read this thread and this exact individual scammed me a few months back on a car stereo under that same email address thru aol. I am police officer out of Providence, Rhode Island, I went through the FBI, eBAY and local municipalities to find this guy and this is the first time Ive heard about him again. Im on the phone right now passing this information....
