SCAM ALERT !!!!!!! SCAM ALERT !!!!! HASAN CHOWDURY
Buyers beware ..............
I have recently been the victim of a scam on here
I posted on the forum that I wanted a set of K16 turbo chargers for my 996.I have added the pictures that where sent to me.
I had a reply from a member with the goods!
All looked well ...........
After a few emails between us I decided to make the purchase.
He did ask me to pay him via PayPal through the friends and family option as he didnt want to pay the fees.Which I did (do not do this!!!!!!)
Luckily for me i did put a note on the transaction stating the payment was for the turbo chargers i did recieve a full refund but i think i was extremely lucky !
The name on the PayPal payment was
Mr HASAN CHOWDURY
The email address was ********************** Scammers pic 1

BEWARE !!!! Always Always Always pay through for goods or services it makes it so much easier to get your hard earned cash back should you fall victim.
Get this spread around lads before he gets someone else !
Sorry for your trouble...
some rules of the road:
1) don't do business with a new member with little to no posts. Do a search to see what they have posted to make sure they haven't posted gibberish or low content posts to get their count up.
2) don't take the business immediately to email. Use the for sale thread, then use private messages, especially if they have zero posts
3) Use PayPal, but NEVER friends and family. Make them eat the charge if they want the sale, or eat it yourself. Consider it insurance.
4) Do a Google image search or their photos they have posted. It will show if they stole them from. eBay or a message board. As a technique, I like to post a card with my forum handle written on it with the product to show it's authentic. You can always ask the seller to do that.
Been scammed before in the same way, also, NEVER send payment through Zelle/Venmo. They will not back your claim even with the information. Now all of my purchases/sells are with buyer protection, most of the time I just eat the fee. Once you do the buyer/seller protection usually the scammer will scare off or completely back out of a purchase (happened to me before)

Paypal is another crooked outfit. They recently changed their refund policy so that even if a transaction gets reversed they KEEP the buyer's fee. These fees are now going to passed onto the consumer by the merchant.
its not actually unbelievable because we all thought that we transacting with a trusted Rennlist member with a solid history, nobody would do it with someone who they dont know
