I bought fog lights and a control switch from him about feb 21, well i received the control switch but never got the fog lights. Weeks later he tells me that he sent them to the wrong person. Now its almost 2 months later, he says they lost them and i asked for my 90 dollars back, and once again he disappeared his phone is "turned off" so if you know him tell him he needs to send me that money back asap or figure out whats going on because this is pathetic. he lives in holiday, florida.

...Holiday, FL? Isn't that where our old friend and scamster James lived (forgot his screen name, guy that ripped off a bunch of people for cheap bodykits, "his wife" eventually handled his transactions)?

So yeah, you're basically **** out of luck. This guy was already banned, guess he made another screen name...

Wow Zack, you've had the worse luck trying to get these things. I dunno, if it was me shipping it off, I woulda sent it all in one package (just cheaper that way). Sounds like he never had them in the first place. And its been two months? Here is what i had to do (because I had an incident with some struts/springs), contact paypal, file a claim, then swing by IC3 and file a complaint there. That was the route I went and it took a bit but I did get my money back, because the IC3 put everything together and handed it over to the DA over here to handle.
I looked at the guys profile and you are not the only one who has an issue with him, so hopefully you and the other guy get this worked out.

Personally I dont go and tell my life story to sell a part. That shoulda been an indication right there. As far as sending as a gift, I dont kow if you really can fight that...it was after all sent as a gift.

James=projectinprogress=scammer

You shouldn't have sent it as a gift. You really don't have a leg to stand on, because to Paypal it just looks like you sent him money, not an exchange for "goods or services" which you could then argue that you didn't receive.


Hope you learned a valuable lesson. Don't deal with anyone until you do some research. Use caution when buying from new members, or members without positive feedback.

Found him on an EF honda site - having questionable sales over there. He got upset that I had posted the info we have on him, and said that it was his friend that he let use his paypal account (but he apparently hasn't changed the password so his friend can't?). He then told me he was going to email 6GC's admin (hahahahaha) and told me I needed to take down my post. I told him to contact you, Luke.

yeah, got emailed.

this is messy.

Impossible to know whether or not it's true, but as you say, the guy you've been stalking on the honda site says the scammer is using his s/n on here and is going to court over stealing paypal accounts.

in the mean time i have a reply from our Mree1015:

On the Honda site he said that he is getting contacted about a set of foglights that he knows nothing about.

First he says:

i think you might need to calm down a bit scooby doo!

He would be getting the emails about the foglights, if the scammer is using his paypal account, like he says.

I think you got him banned from the Honda site, you need to be careful making accusations without proof mate....

If he said he knows nothing about the foglights that were sold on 6GC, but then says to you that he sent them to the wrong person, that would be a contradiction in his story.

noooo.......

This is why it's confusing.

the PM i quoted is from the Mree1015 on HERE, the guy with the FS thread, not the one from the Honda site. He's been emailing me direct, and said the guy on here is a scammer and should be banned wink.gif

But i'm trying to remain objective at this point....

I know you are, and I applaud the impartial approach you are taking on this.


I do not have the patience, nor will I tolerate a theif. If someone was scamming from my paypal account, I would simply change the password. Any rational person would. This guy didn't think that would be a good idea?


And he has still yet to post here to defend himself.


Dude is a scammer.

From what i've heard:

The one on the Honda site...... possibly not.

i guess i got a little lost at the end. but thats cool i hope hes not saying that im a scammer, and he said that he was waiting on a check to pay me back, but i can remember everything he has told me. first off about someone getting on his paypal account or whatever he told me he works with computers, so thats a definite lie, how could you work on computers and not stop someone from doing that, so yeah. second he did tell me he had a friend but was in the army reserves he sent my fog lights to him instead of sending him the honda lights he ordered. third he said he had extra lights that he could send me fourth has no tracking number for me to look for the lights the one he gave me was a fake it was the tracking number for the money i sent on paypal i think. but yeah i agree honestly i dont want to buy anythign else on here from anyone that just makes me more cautious to buying things now.

He doesn't have a Celica for you to take parts from - he apparently drives an EF Civic.

For a dude that lives on a golf course, he sure has a money shortage problem...

I also wanted to add that those of you who he has scammed I urge you to call the local Police Department in New Port Richey and tell them. Some guy was scamming over on NASIOC and because of the victims calling a local detective he was arrested and charged with a dozen or so felonies.

QUOTE (Team Scream;29772201)
A few months ago, I was scammed (along with several other members here) by a member named "STiKindaGuy".
I was taken for an STi steering wheel, other members were taken for wheels, a turbo, and many other items which we all paid for an never received.

I took it upon myself to go after this guy and started doing some research.
I found out which chapter he frequented (This One), posted up a notice on this forum and within a few hours got a reply which pointed me in the right direction for who this guy really was.

Armed with that information, I started sending PM's to all the other members I could find who replied to the for sale threads this scammer (StiKindaGuy) had posted, and I asked those members for some personal information which I then forwarded to a detective in this guys home town.

That detective and I worked together over the next several weeks putting together as much information as we could gather, and today I am happy to report that I received the following email from Detective Sean Lundry up in Oregon:

[B][B]"I wanted to let you know that I have arrested and charged Chance Graham in relation to this case. He was charged with two counts ID Theft, one count of Theft 1, and Computer Crime. All of these are felonies in Oregon. He will most likely be going to prison for a period of time based on his past criminal convictions. He was using Riggs name without his knowledge. If you want to pass this on to the other victims in this case, by all means do so. If you have any questions feel free to call or e-mail. Thanks for your assistance"

BIG UPDATE BIG UPDATE BIG UPDATE 2-21-2010

I just received word from the DA’s office that they are going to charge Graham with ten counts ID Theft and six more counts of Aggravated ID Theft. Just thought you should know that this is getting dealt with. The ID Thefts are C felonies and the Agg ID Thefts are B felonies.



Detective Sean Lundry
The Dalles PD

The Dalles, OR. 97058
(541) 296-2613 work
(541) 298-2747 fax
slundry@ci.the-dalles.or.us



I just thought I would pass along how a little due diligence and, willingness to do some footwork resulted in a scammer being nailed to the cross.
I feel good about this, I hope that guy gets the book thrown at him, because including myself, he scammed Nasioc members out of more than $7,000.00 total.
Hopefully for him......it was worth the year or 2 he will spend watching his back in federal prison!

Douche. Never in my life have I heard of someone having so many problems with UPS, USPS, and Fedex. I bet all shipping companies are out to get him, so they lose all of his shipments.... Right.


I suggest compiling information from the people he ripped off under "projectinprogress" and this name, including purchase details, names and numbers, and contacting his local PD and let them pay him a visit. Its time we stopped giving him the benefit of the doubt. Any decent person would not be giving out their paypal info to anybody - friend or not.

Why wait? It is clear to me that this guy is just scamming. The quicker you act the better chance you have of getting your money back, and getting this guy to stop scamming people for good. The more time you give him the more he can clean up his act....

Yeah, call the number and ask for a detective. Explain to them the situation, and how he has done this multiple times on multiple forums. Give him your information, as well as the names and any other info you can get from others that he has scammed here. That should be enough for them to get a warrant and go arrest him.

I googled him, looks like this guy is a registered sex offender too. Nice.

QUOTE (95CelicaST @ Apr 7, 2010 - 3:39 PM) *
I also wanted to add that those of you who he has scammed I urge you to call the local Police Department in New Port Richey and tell them. Some guy was scamming over on NASIOC and because of the victims calling a local detective he was arrested and charged with a dozen or so felonies.

QUOTE (Team Scream;29772201)
A few months ago, I was scammed (along with several other members here) by a member named "STiKindaGuy".
I was taken for an STi steering wheel, other members were taken for wheels, a turbo, and many other items which we all paid for an never received.

I took it upon myself to go after this guy and started doing some research.
I found out which chapter he frequented (This One), posted up a notice on this forum and within a few hours got a reply which pointed me in the right direction for who this guy really was.

Armed with that information, I started sending PM's to all the other members I could find who replied to the for sale threads this scammer (StiKindaGuy) had posted, and I asked those members for some personal information which I then forwarded to a detective in this guys home town.

That detective and I worked together over the next several weeks putting together as much information as we could gather, and today I am happy to report that I received the following email from Detective Sean Lundry up in Oregon:

[B][B]"I wanted to let you know that I have arrested and charged Chance Graham in relation to this case. He was charged with two counts ID Theft, one count of Theft 1, and Computer Crime. All of these are felonies in Oregon. He will most likely be going to prison for a period of time based on his past criminal convictions. He was using Riggs name without his knowledge. If you want to pass this on to the other victims in this case, by all means do so. If you have any questions feel free to call or e-mail. Thanks for your assistance"

BIG UPDATE BIG UPDATE BIG UPDATE 2-21-2010

I just received word from the DA’s office that they are going to charge Graham with ten counts ID Theft and six more counts of Aggravated ID Theft. Just thought you should know that this is getting dealt with. The ID Thefts are C felonies and the Agg ID Thefts are B felonies.



Detective Sean Lundry
The Dalles PD
401 Court St
The Dalles, OR. 97058
(541) 296-2613 work
(541) 298-2747 fax
slundry@ci.the-dalles.or.us



I just thought I would pass along how a little due diligence and, willingness to do some footwork resulted in a scammer being nailed to the cross.
I feel good about this, I hope that guy gets the book thrown at him, because including myself, he scammed Nasioc members out of more than $7,000.00 total.
Hopefully for him......it was worth the year or 2 he will spend watching his back in federal prison!

Seriously Zach, I cannot believe how much crap this guy has given you (and MANY others) over a simple transaction that he decides to scam again with. You definitely need to give the local PD a call over there asap to teach this douchebag a lesson.

Yes, provided that New Port Richey is the city he actually lives in. I know he has given a bunch of different locations for where he lives including Tarpon Springs, FL, Holiday, FL, I think Hudson, FL as well. All of these locations are fairly close to each other with about 5-10 miles in between them, and to be honest I don't know if each area has their own PD or what. If anyone has his real address that would help with which PD to deal with.

QUOTE (95CelicaST @ Apr 8, 2010 - 4:43 PM) *

Give him your information, as well as the names and any other info you can get from others that he has scammed here. That should be enough for them to get a warrant and go arrest him.


What he said but more.

Collect ALL possible related information you can find, paypal receipts from emails, all forum thread links (even non 6gc if it relates to the same guy), PM's, emails, text messages, etc.

Contact others who have been scammed and get them to forward PM's to you (or make them aware of who to call and give their info forth if it is safer that way with other peoples info... i guess) so you can compile a nice file for them and be ready to email/fax/snail mail etc all these documents to them. I would think you would need some pretty solid evidence for them to take you seriously and to actually pursue this, so gather as much stuff as you possibly can to make a strong case against this *insertwordofchoicehere*.

... Then call.

I had thought so too but never heard for sure.

I had to disput a payment to twolownissan for not sending parts I payed for. The name on the paypal account was Saprina Jenkins but the email was twolownissan2002@hotmail.com. I got my money back through paypal after diputing it.

What's strange to me is that he didn't really give me much in the way of a story. Sounds like everyone else got lies about him being sick, or computer went down, or someone got to his paypal account. Maybe it's not the same guy since he kinda just let me have my money back without any responce through paypal.

Can't screen capture on my cell phone, but basically its a couple threads on a UK based EF honda site where he has been buying stuff, and another thread where he purchased an auto to 5sp conversion and is having all sorts of problems - turns out he blew a HG, and consequently will be using his scammer cash to fix it.

I'll take screenshots when I'm home for lunch.

i got an email back from a detective in florida about james williams. he said :

Hello Zachary,

I am a Detective with the City of New Port Richey. I received a copy of your email below. It appears you will need to contact either the Tarpon Springs Police or the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office. I attempted to look up Williams’ driver’s license to obtain an address. There are several “James Williams” and none of them have an address within the City of New Port Richey . If there is anything else I can do for you let me know.



Regards, Detective Engel

Did you not include in your email the address listed here?


James D Williams - also goes by Jim Williams

He apparently runs a "business" out of his home on Lori Ln in New Port Richey, and has a business listed under both James and Jim - both businesses have slightly different names, and are registered to That Lori Ln address.

Edit: here is the link http://www.corporationwiki.com/Florida/New...s-P5594944.aspx

A "Golf View III Condominium Association Inc. "

And "Golf View Villas Association Inc."


Sound like a scam to you too?

Is the return email address a legitimate police email?
