csraine86 Scam, csworldfan back? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

jonzhuxD · 06-26-2015, 11:45 AM

I found a post on the Members Classified section about an OFT for sale and after a short conversation with the seller, we agreed on a price and I sent him payment shortly after. Having not heard from him for over a week since I sent payment, I started getting a bit suspicious. I contacted a few of the other members who commented on the post (post here) and one other member @MattHoffman) told me he was in the same situation. It seems this guy was hawking some KW V3 coilovers as well as a JDL UEL header, both used.

@MattHoffman and I have both filed Paypal disputes, I just wanted to put this out there in case there are others who have been scammed by this guy. His paypal email is csworldfan@hushmail.com which leads me to believe this is the same csworldfan who was involve in the OFT scandal about a year ago. His Paypal name is Russell Johnson but I don't know if that's legitimate.

Sorry to hear, hopefully you did not send the money as a gift. In which case he is stuck regardless, you will be getting your money back. I don't understand why he even does this.

The moderators should be able to post and see if the IP addresses are anywhere within the same vicinity that CSworldfan was operating in.

I did not so there shouldn't be any issues.

Yeah I didn't gift it either but damn now I gotta wait a month to get my cash back!

On the bright side I bought some revwork headers from a member who is not an a-hole, lol, and they sound awesome on my brz! could be awesomer with a tune but... I will just have to wait for that. I heard from another member he was from Yreka CA? idk.

I actually reported it but never got a reply and no action was taken.
