is bobparts a scammer ?

[AudiTechS4]

So I purchased the tilton twin disk he was selling and he was very responsive. Since I have paid I only got a reply of its Being shipped on saturday. So I messaged him yesterday and today. Nothing. I started getting messages to start complaints with paypal so i looked more into it and find out alot of stuff he is selling was sold by a member bevbucks. So I messaged others that are trying to buy his stuff And they are all getting no replys.

Here is the seats he is selling right now that were trying to be sold by bevbucks

Beware. I will update when I hear from him.

Wow nice catch I've looked at both their ads and never realized the identical pics.
File a dispute asap and blow him up on here.

Ah thanks for starting this thread. I meant to start one today but never got around to it. Dude's definitely a scammer. I don't think any of the people who've bought parts have heard back from him. I opened up a paypal dispute a couple days ago and need to wait til the 20th to file a claim. The money left my account today but I'm not sure if he got it or if it's sitting with paypal. Either way, this whole situation sucks.

NOBODY BUY FROM BOBPARTS/BEVBUCKS or whoever the fck he is!!!

This is why I'm trying to do cash only transactions.

[christianb5s4]

I saw all his stuff pop up and knew something didn't feel right. Best of luck, many of his prices seemed too good to be true. Especially on the clutch. Be careful out there.

Here is a link to all of his ads.

Seems like there's more and more scammers in AZ these days. Good catch and thanks for posting it up for the rest of the community to see

[BUK_DAA]

wow, thanks for posting this, I was actually going to post something today when I got out of work and was going to message everybody about the items he sold. He was very responsive about the st coilovers when I was interested in them. When I sent the payment, I messaged him and no response, so I sent him another message and nothing. I was looking at someones reply earlier to one of his sales threads that he was selling a front bumper and someone pointed out the pictures of the bumper matched a post from another sales posting.

[hibiscusS4]

no shit i thought that was the ftg turbo dude wow i have a bunch of pms going back and forth about parts with him im glad all i did was bullshit the turbos he was selling deffinatly had the ftg logo

[88ninety9]

I thought it was odd he had umpteen ads to begin with. Most people make one ad listing everything they have. Sucks, this is the bullshit that makes it hard for people like me to buy parts, as I don't have a high post count. If i don't have anything productive/helpful to say, I dont say anything. Good catch though

[CincyFester]

I got a very quick reply on a motor from him. Glad I didn't pull the trigger.

[JKnight41]

Yeah I'm in the midst of a 200 dollar paypal dispute. I know others are worse. I just don't understand some people. Thanks for starting this!

[Cgoon009]

Ahhhhh this makes so much sense now. I thought the bumper looked familar. Also PMed Bobparts about it, said I would go to NJ and get it. He said he is in FL and need 300 for shipping.

I said no thanks.

[S4NIK8]

This kind of stuff chaps my ass; get a real job instead of trying to steal money from people. No one wants to work for anything anymore.

[Austonwerner4]

Yes. I messaged him and played around with his scams last week while messaging other buyers that bought his stuff.
Also sent the mods a message.
I posted on the FB group about it.

[AudiTechS4]

So the mods know and have done nothing !

You can use paypal. Just use it where it takes funds from one of your Credit Cards. So if paypal does nothing you can call your credit card company and claim fraud charges and they give you your money back. Ive had to do that once because paypal wouldn't do anything for me. I always try to protect myself so incase something goes sour I have a back up plan

[zillarob]

There is a reason for ad limits on new members, or was before Panjo

I always look at how long they have been around before buying/selling.
Prob safe to gift $$ to a senior or veteran member, but I play it safe with anyone else.

[8bitwarfare]

Yup he got me on the s4 front bumper. I jumped quickly knowing how hard they are to come by. luckily i used paypal credit so im not to concerned as long as i get my money back within 6 months so i don't have interest added ill be fine. Ill see how it goes. Thanks for posting this!! I hope everyone gets their money back. If it looks too good to be true it probably is. Just goes to show nowwhere is safe these days.

It seems this rabbit hole goes quite deep.

We have Terminated the 'BobParts' account, but also a few others linked to the IP. An account named 'JazzParts' and another named 'Shaw'. Please let us know if anyone has had any dealings or conversations with either of those last two accounts.

We're looking into a few other possible linked accounts, and aren't ruling out 'BevBuckz' either.

[cinimod25461]

Paypal dispute was started earlier this week. Never heard from him. Tomorrow I'll be able to file my claim and hope for the best.

[landfill]

BevBuckz is one of them as well. Go check out his account all FS thread with no responses
from OP. Same MO.

[T.pops]

Sad sad stuff right there. Sorry to those who got squeezed.

[OuttyinTheAudi]

Yah seriously I mean a twin disk for 600 come on mannnnn really

[8bitwarfare]

Just wanted to say paypal got me all my money back! filed a claim and they took care of everything. good luck to everyone else who had to deal with him.

[CincyFester]

I was contacted again today about a part that I had inquired about before I saw this post.
