This and a few other Jackasses are checking the WTB threads and sending out bs. Be on the watch for this. If you email any of these idiots, they come back with a stupid low price and then ask you to send payment via family and friends.
Before I ban the guy, I'm having some fun with him. Just sent this pm:
I see that you just signed up at MiataTurbo, and it looks like you've been trolling the WTB thread and trying to scam my members with low-ball prices on nonexistant parts.
Am I totally off-base here, or does your IP address need to be banned? (I hate doing that, because it occasionally affects others users who live nearby you, and we obviously have a lot of other users in the Dallas area, of whom I'm sure at least a few are also using BandCon as their ISP.)
Also, in the future, send a message to a moderator and post something in the Front Desk forum when something like this happens.
primeturbo72 appears to be a repeat offender. We banned his last account (ziggy676), and now he's back under a new alias.
I sent him a PM asking him very politely to go away, so that I don't have to perma-ban every single VPN he uses, as that occasionally has unfortunate side-effects for legitimate users.
I'll be curious to see if he responds, or even shows up again.
primeturbo72 hasn't been around in a few days, so I'll give him some time to read the PM I sent him before banishment. Let me know if anyone hears from him again.
Primeturbo72 referred me to a man that was extremely sus as well. I 100% believe he's doing it too from the conversations I was having with his referral.
Somewhat related, the other day I saw some loser posting on Fb miata classifieds, and apparently the pictures were taken from legitimate posts on here and m.net and used to scam people on fb.
