Seems a bit silly for people to do this over a few hundred dollars...

Interstate fraud over $500 constitutes a felony (in this case, it would be charged as interstate wire fraud), and is prosecuted at a federal level. PayPal fully cooperates with local, state, and federal law enforcement.

ISPs and most public/semi-private (commercial) proxy services fully cooperate, and those that don't are rarely used by petty thieves as they are quite difficult to become a part of.

Just remember, quite a few of us here have badges, and not everybody is a local cop... Recently, two criminals using a Virginia Starbucks parking lot Wi-Fi connection (using two bounce proxies, a handful of hops, and several stolen credit cards) were picked up in less than 72 hours - you're probably nothing special, even if you think you're the best there's ever been.

Best of luck to everyone here that was affected.

Here's the flaw in reasoning - if the money was ever collected or transferred, there is a clear trail. It doesn't matter if you moved it all into gift cards, and used them randomly... There is always a trail when it's not a small cash transaction.

How can people be this foolish?

This sucks. He sent me a PM about the coilovers offering to ship them for free. That's when I said no thanks. People like this make me so mad. He also claimed to be an Eagles fan... lol

Interesting...a Trey Weber was recently awarded a $300 Indian Education Scholarship. The Ventura County Community Foundation will award those scholarships at their Awards Reception on June 02.

If someone has been scammed, the Ventura County Sheriff's Office at (805) 494-8260 has a strong reputation for going after fraudsters.

I hate to see good honest people get internet scammed!

I live in SoCal and local to this person! I've got friends in law enforcement, PM me and I'd gladly help out anyone who's having problem with this member.

Hello everyone,

1. I apologize for not observing this sooner. I wish I could've stopped this sooner.

2. I have banned all three of his accounts due to matching IP addresses from all three accounts.

3. All three of his accounts (TreysR56/jcw44/tpweber17) share the following IP addresses:

166.147.119.141
cingular.net

50.102.15.20

99.121.106.212
sbcglobal.net

75.82.233.245
socal.res.rr.com

I'm not sure if this may help you in any way.

4. I apologize but NorthAmericanMotoring cannot be responsible for loss of funds or parts. We can only inform you of your next best steps, which seems like your fellow members are already doing.

5. This current thread as well as a couple others are currently under investigation.

6. If there are any questions, please feel free to PM me.
