Keith Meshey(mushee137) - Naples, FL - Scammer

[636]

His FT86Club name is mushee137, I am posting this for a friend.



He had pretended to sell a turbo kit to another person, for the same amount she wanted to sell the wheels for.

The money that was sent to him for the "turbo kit", was sent to her, stating that his father was sending the money since he was in college. The money was received, and he picked up the wheels.

The next day, the person he initially "sold" a turbo kit to, contacted her asking her where the turbo kit was.

There's also a post on VWVortex about him scamming someone else out of $1700 for wheels he was "selling". (http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthrea...mmer-mushee137)

Also scammed Garrett Jarboe out of Rocket Bunny fenders, which he turned around and sold to someone else.



If anyone knows more information on this kid's whereabouts, please let me know. Otherwise, beware.

Um, what?

I am so confused right now. I dont know who scammed who how or who is posting for who even.

Might want to clean that up a bit OP

[Magoo]

WTF does "soldier out of the money" mean? I want to feel bad for the person being scammed, but I feel worse for their 3rd grade teacher because he or she wasted their time.

Right! Take an English class and try again.

He has been taken care of, the wheels and money has been sent back and the proper authorities have been contacted.

I'm too lazy to clear it up, if you read it slowly you can understand. Read what I actually wrote, not the Instagram post, lol

I re-read the post and get it now. This guy is a really piece of shit. I will try to retell the story and this guy will be referred to as asshole from now on.

Asshole makes a deal with person A for a turbo, but the turbo doesn't actually exist. Person A pays $1700 to the account asshole instructs. However, this was actually person B's account. At the same time, asshole makes a deal with person B for rims and picks them up after Person B receives funds from person A and believes the transaction is done. Later, person A asks when the turbo is coming from person B, but person B has no turbo. Person A must've filed a claim and gets his money back while person B now has no money or rims.

Hopefully this helps. It felt like a weird love triangle and those things are always hard to explain.

So your friend did 0 due diligence and paid 0 attention to the many red flags that come up? I mean I feel sorry for you (or your hypothetical friend) but seriously how could you guys not see this coming.


That is literally of one the most classic scams, hey I'd like to buy this and just sold this other part so the person I sold the part to will send you the money and I'll get the part from you without giving you any info or any money other than the sum from that random stranger you have no idea whether or not I have completed the sale from (that other person may have also been an accomplice you know that right? I would file a police reports asap and provide the info of all involved parties, including the).


Anyways hope this gets resolved but hopefully you and your friend have learned that doing your homework and due diligence is critical when dealing with an new/untrusted seller or buyer for anything.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They did find him, she got her wheels back and appropriate action is being taken. This was just a warning to people to not deal with him.

Glad it got resolved, didn't mean to sound ****ish but I find direct is the best way to get the message across in these situation (former fraud prevention analyst ). Just wanted to make sure you and your friend got the importance of due diligence. Glad she got her stuff back.
