To all fellow Stangers Beware,

I have had a Superchip tuner for sale in the classifieds when a guy emailed me and offered me double what I was asking. I figured scam right away but thought maybe not. I call BULL SH** so I did more research and found out yes it was a scam. Please read

The emails you under this email (robin rice [rice_bin2006@yahoo.com]
He also tells you this in his email, Note the broken english

Hello ,
I got your e-mail safely. thanks soo much for
everything. rember that i told you hat i am a pilot i
did not stay in one one if i have the opprotunity i
will call you today,i am really glad over your email.
I m really okay with all the conditon 'cos it's
excatly what i 've searching for for the past few
months ago. please all the assurance i need from you
now is that whoever email you concerning it, tell
him/her that it has been SOLD off! For you to really
know how prepared i was, you can contact my shipping
company today via email at AIRCARGO_SHIPPING@MYWAY.COM
cos they will be picking it up from your house. All
you've to do is provide where the pick-up is going to
happen. if it's at your location, thats ok with me. i
will forward your info to them. With immediate effect,
I'm going to ask my biz associate to issue the check
payment of $5,000 in your name. you'll send the
difference amount to my shipper via western union
to enhance the pick up from your location. they
handles my shipments for the past 10 years.I will be
giving $500 for your efforts and western union fees.
I'll be very grateful if you can send the funds to
the shipper the same day you recieve the check for a
faster transaction and bcos i am really eager to have
it picked up from you!

Pls mail me today to let me know i am the rightful
owner of this pistons and rods
Thanks for selling to me.



I'm was selling a tuner not pistons and rods, what a tool

I have turned this guy into all the organizations, my father works for the FBI so we will see what comes out of this scam. Maybe nothing we will see

I still have my tuner, that the good news
I don't want any of you to screwed, we got to stick together!:SNSign:

Sorry for the long read

Ram

Yeah, whenever someone tries to buy something off you for double the price, somethings not right. Just glad you did not fall for it.

I would hate to see someone get taken advantage of through a stupid scam. If it is to good to be true, it usually is.

If anyone falls for that old scam, they deserve it for sheer stupidity. How could someone believe that is legit?

DAMMM I really thought that guy was going to give me 2.2 million for my 8.8 31 spline diff that I was trying to sell.

Guess i am going to have to cancel my gt-500 order now..

BTW I checked all my credit cards with that card checker thing, it says they are all fine

Me and my wife got scammed for 12,000 while I was in Iraq, she didnt know any better,

We were selling her old integra..YES IT WAS RICE TO THE FULLEST, and the same thing, "oops we made the check out to large can you send some back" and then after that the cancel on the deal and she sends back all the money" only to relize that the bank has cashed the check and she now owes the bank like 9 grand for a phony check, we reported it to the FBI and the FEDS ( we both work for the gov.) but nothing will ever come of it, NO ONE CARES about this cause it happens so much.. THESE guys/ girls are good,

I hope I catch the F*******RRR That did this I would love to do a nice brake stand on his nuts and then a hard launch... !!!!!

Beware guys, I always said "That kinda sh** will never happen to me... WELL......

Thanks
