Exclamation Who Is 944online On Ebay ?!?!

Hello everyone this is Steve from 944online (The Real One ) .

It was brought to my attention today that someone is impersonating us on Ebay. They have recently changed there name to 944online and are using pictures from our website for there items.

Here are all of the names he has went by on Ebay :

eBay Member User ID History
The box below contains the User IDs that this member has used on eBay.

944online Nov-18-12 Present

damiza951 Jan-27-08 Aug-22-10

From reading many other posts on both Rennlist and Pelican Parts I can see that many have had prior dealings with him. I have a few different names that may or may not be his real name. I see that some people have even been to his house to complete transactions with him.

If anyone has any information about who he really is and would like to share it with me it would be very much appreciated.

So far I have Michael Damiza and Michael Hobocan. Not sure which if either of these names are real.

Please do not purchase anything from him as you will not be receiving the items from us!

Anyone is welcome to contact me toll free 866-944-7883 regarding this matter.
If Michael (or whatever your real name is) is on Rennlist and should be reading this post I would highly advise calling me to straighten this out before I take the next step.

Thanks for reading
Steve 944online

Contact eBay's Trust and Safety department. Assuming you have trademarked 944online, they'll be all over it.

Steve, sent you a PM with some contact information for him. I bought some stuff from him a few weeks ago before I saw all of the crap hit the fan.

He's been spamming all the Porsche boards in the past month or so, hope you take him down. He is a worthless POS.

Hi Steve, I believe you had him trying to sell on used parts as konig4206 and you deleted his 5 posts.

Cheers,
Larry

to clarify, 944online.com is good to go.


But wow... I'm surprised this guy would go so far.

Sad that this joker would steal a legitimate name from an excellent business.


I'll second the recommendation on doing business with Ian and the staff at www.944online.com. I've purchased a number of things from them and have always gotten great service!

Ditto. Ian and his guys are always willing to help you out. Some of the best guys in the 944 world. I hope the imposter is found out and made to pay.
