DJEStylez401, the shadiest person ever.. stay away from him Options

[nate95]

DJEStylez401 pretty much scammed me out of $70 a while back i sold him something for $70..like 2 days after he bought the item he filed a claim agianst me on pay pal cause he did have it yet!! how crazy.. well anyway he got it a few days later and he said he dropped the claim.. well apparently not pay pal went on with the claim and my account was locked up for like 3 months... he acted like he was all sorry and seemed pretty nice we had been talking ever since on aol and stuff.... well i decided i needed my pay pal account back up and working and the only way to do that was to deposite the $70 and refund him the money to make pay pal happy... so i talked to him about it and we decided i would send him the $70 to get my account back up and he would send it right back.. well i sent him the money and i never got it back.. he wont respond to me at all, i have him on aol and hes online but wont talk, i'v sent him email and pms on here, even a money request on pay pal and he cancelled it....some of you might say ya im stupid for sending him the money back and trusting him... but thats just the kinda guy iam. . im nice and i trust people... and what hes doing is just NOT cool. any suggestions?

[nate95]

he did pay you to start with though? so pretty much he kept the money that he gave you initially... I would try explaining the situation to paypal since really they are the only ones that can do anything... and def say that he received the item but he filed the claim before he even got it because of his impatience... should be good after that

[LewFX]

i believe my sales of stickers went okay with him

[chacha]

hmm...what did the administrators say about this? im kinda worry too now for my sake and yours...i just sent money to a user here too, but having got his message back yet on regards of items being sent...i bought the clock and the power antenna from him, but then again i don't want to jump to conclusions....hopefully you get what's yours in the end, best of wishes...

Internet fraud

Internet fraud is any act committed via the internet whereby the offender willfully intends to deceive another in order to secure financial gain at their expense. The internet provides a global marketplace for both consumers and businesses. Unfortunately, criminals recognize this as an opportunity to exploit both consumers and businesses via internet fraud.

Internet fraud is one criminal offense under the larger umbrella of consumer fraud. The United States federal government estimates that eleven million Americans became the victims of consumer fraud in the year 2003 alone. In an effort to reduce internet fraud, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has teamed with the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C) in developing the Internet Fraud Compliant Center (IFCC). The IFCC was renamed the Internet Crime Compliant Center (IC3) in December of 2003 to reflect the broad character of criminal activities that can take place via the internet.

The IC3 gathers internet fraud complaints from consumers across the nation and alerts the proper authorities to internet fraud reports. In 2004, the IC3 received more than 270,000 internet fraud complaints, an increase of 66 percent from the previous year. Of these internet fraud complaints, over 190,000 were referred to the appropriate agency for further investigation. The average loss to each internet fraud victim averaged just under $220, totaling over $68 million for all internet fraud complaints reported that year.

Internet fraud involving auctions was the most widely reported internet fraud, accounting for 71 percent of reports received by the IC3 in 2004. Other top internet fraud offenses include: non-delivery of merchandise or payment, credit or debit card fraud, check fraud, investment fraud, confidence fraud, and identity theft. The two primary mechanisms for internet fraud contact are email and web pages. More than two-thirds of all internet fraud victims report having contact with the perpetrator by email and 24 percent had contact through a website.

There are many ways that consumers can avoid becoming the victim of internet fraud. Tips are available from the IC3 and other consumer groups working to fight internet fraud. Educating yourself about any monetary transaction (i.e. auction or sales purchase) pursued via the internet is crucial to avoiding internet fraud. Business via the internet should only be conducted with legitimate and reputable organizations over secure websites. Never give out financial information unless the site is secure and reputable. Be aware that some websites might appear to be legitimate, when they are not (internet fraud known as "phishing").

The act of internet fraud is both a tort action (civil offence) and a criminal offense. This means that the victim of internet fraud has the legal right to seek compensatory damages from the internet fraudster. Internet fraud is also a serious criminal offense that is prosecuted to the full extent of the law. A person convicted of internet fraud can face incarceration, heavy fines, restitution, probation, community service, and more. If you would like to learn more about internet fraud, please contact us to speak with an attorney.

It sucks, but it happens sometimes. Hey, didnt punkuup5150 just buy a CF hood from DJ? Good luck with that man, maybe you will succeed where the rest of us have apparently failed. I just font see how someone who has or is still having problems buying/selling still allowed to buy/sell. Im not saying that DJ is a bad person, just a horrible merchant. I think the best thing to do would be to blast any Buy/FS post the guy (or girl?) puts up. I'll be keeping watch as much as I can.

[punkuup5150]

oh i hope it comes in i woudl really hate to have to seek legal action against him thats why i was searching for that stuff about internet fraud,grandtheft i hope it all goes ok

[Spider77]

Well, I hope you get the hood. I just find it odd a guy who left this post

[Spider77]

One thing real quick, how many diffrent emails does one person need to have a paypal account? I was told to send the money to mayraperez401@yahoo.com, Nammer(i think that right) was told elperez401@yahoo.com. Anyone else got anything different? Seems weird to have multiple emails attached to one paypal account. Maybe its just me.

[CelicaST_CALI]

^ you type too much man... thats not too helpful

dude i like talk to him everyday i know wat im talking about

[dnyluong]

I bought some shocks and springs from him.
$350
sent him payment on the 1st of may
i've been waiting for almost 3 weeks now, i've messaged him and everything
but he has yet to notify me that he's sent the springs and shocks, I was orginally going to wait a month or so until i posted something, but because you posted this I'm really concerned.
Is there anyone on here that could contact him via phone or something? >_<

EDIT: I sent the money to mayraperez401@yahoo.com as well.

well f*ck me
he did sell me the same set for 350
what do we do now lol

[Spider77]

That sucks man, Im not too sure about what we can do on this site execpt to let people know who are buying anything from him. As far as the money, you can always file a claim w/paypal (if thats how you paid).

[Spider77]

Damn, if I still lived in CT i'd have to take a little drive. Too bad im in TX now....too hot to go anywhere. Im just wondering why DL dosent step p and at least try to explain WTF is going on. Perhaps we will never know.

2 Woot's for Presure2:

[punkuup5150]

ok ive been doing a little more research on our friend here. it seems hes on a few honda websites and cell phone websites as well. i have found another paypal email he is used and also his aim is also his screen name. i think he does this kinda stuff for a living and we need to put a stop to it at least on our forum and let paypal know whats going on. lilguatbrotha@yahoo.com is another pay pal he is useing i hope no one else gets scammed by this guy

[bmrabb]

What an @ss...

Giving Rhode Islanders a bad name

[GriffGirl]

I say his phone number gets posted on here if he doesn't give the refunds requested.

Edit:
Here is the link to the Federal Trade Commission Bureau of Consumer Protection Consumer Complaint Form. If you believe this guy is scamming people on several boards, he should be reported. You will probably not get your money back, but it will at least start the process to having this guy stopped. Internet fraud is a federal crime and punishable by law.

FTC Complaint Form

Internet Crime Complaint Center (a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C), and the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA).

Edit again: I found his number.

[presure2]

guys.
anyone who hasnt recieved anything yet, or has sent him money, file a paypal claim if thats how you paid.
if you sent a money order or whatever, please post that here.
i want details to hang this guy with.
please DO NOT post his phone #.

[dnyluong]

I've filed a paypal claim already,
lets see how it turns out, I appreciate everything you're doing to help us out presure2.

[GriffGirl]

I'm not ABOUT to post his number until this is all resolved one way or another, don't worry. I still believe in innocent until proven guilty!

[Spider77]

Filed a claim, and still no response. Amazing. I got his number too. My opinion is get the guy outta here.

[Spider77]

OK, so filed claim went through. Of course no reply and should it be any surprise that there are no funds for paypal to recover? Still pissed over the whole thing. Filing complaint with IC3...they really need a lot of info, addy, phone, etc.

[punkuup5150]

i hope u can get your money recovered man this guys a peice of work

[Sh0gunkid8721]

i still dont understand how anybody here can just give a complete stranger money over the internet as if its nothing. this guys a douche and sorry you got ripped off but seriously. its like giving 100 dollars to somebody you just talked to on the streets somewhere for 15 minutes.

[Spider77]

I didnt just gice him money like it was nothing. Before I did, I checked the feedback on the profile, I looked for complaints, but did not find any. I have other transactions on this site and DJ was the only bad one. Everyone else held up. Its not like this thread was started before I bought the items anyways, believe me if it was I wouldnt of gave him the money.

So ur saying that people who dont know you shouldnt buy ur stuffs in the FS thread coz ur a stranger to them?

A stranger doesnt mean hes/shes bad, its what they do that defines them.

[speedz]

It looks like the thread was started before u even joined the site

[hongkongnerdboy]

It looks like the thread was started before u even joined the site

yea.. thats kinda true...

[Spider77]

You know, it was! Well that dosent help me now though. Wonder why I didnt find it before....Next time I will have to be more thorough.

[dnyluong]

agreed.
i got a refund
of $12 USD
12/350
T__T

[Spider77]

Is that 12 of 350? Wow, that sucks. I still havent got anything yet. Execpt an email from Tarrant county district attorney, the got the post I made from that 3ric thing and are now in the proccess of doing something legal like.

[nate95]

I still havent got any money back from this guy..lol Its been a while

[mkernz22]

i hope you guys get your money back! that's such a shame!
we can get some people in the area like Manny, Dustin, Pipes, and a few other over to his house.
Not cool that he hasn't paid you back in two years almost

[Spider77]

Nah, I did get my cash back. Im telling you that Internet Fraud thing worked. After I filed I got an email from my DA, then I gave them the info. I was pretty much expecting to never see the money, then one day a check magically landed in my mailbox, it was the full amount, from the DA office. So yeah, someone did their job! Which is why I advocate that site! ic3.gov
And wow, has it been that long?
