Where did you purchase the items from? Hopefully it's a sight with protection, or purchased in a way that allows you to dispute the charge.

Please tell me you paid with Paypal Services, if so i would
begin the process of disputing it ASAP... Im sorry, but
there is so much of this going on now that you really need
to deal with known sources, or in person these days. I
hope you get your money back...

Oof so sorry to hear that. I sell a lot of parts Gen 1-4 typically. I also know the other big parts sellers from around the country. If I don’t have something I typically know who does. Feel free to shoot me a message. The only spare soft top I have that I’ll be selling soon is a 92/93 Vinyl soft top. But I know someone with several Gen 1/2 Canvas soft tops for sale. He typically only lists his on eBay but sells them privately outside of eBay. He’s in this forum as well.

I’m currently in talks with him. Found out he is local and so far has agreed to meet in person. Will see if it’s followed through this weekend. Winterfell2099@ gmail Reports his name is Brian.

So where does this person live and what is his/her name?
Bret.

Charlie, I have his name as "Donald Shaw". I believe they are all aliases.

He just emailed me!!!!!

He wrote: "Yes, tracking soon".

I told him to give me his ph# as I am filing a case with IC3 (FBI).

For those who want to join the case please let me know. I want to nail this MF'er to the maximum extent the law will allow.

You can use his email to get an address as well as run his number for a name and address. I've used truthfinder.com in the past, it's a simple search engine that you can get all sorts of information; is the phone a cell phone or landline (meaning it's an internet number), real estate information from any addresses, social media and criminal history. Just a tone of stuff, for a monthly fee. You can cancel and just use it for az month, well worth the $20.

Apparently this group is making the rounds in car forums, and others too, I'm sure.
They got me for $900 on a Corvette Z06 forum when I sent out a request for a bumper cover for sale. The guy provided pictures, knew, the part number, difference in base vs z06, etc. I sent him the money and he ghosted me.
I've bought and sold items on forums many times and this has now totally blown my confidence to do it again, and that *****.
Some other victims on that site finally ran down his true location and it was in Asia. Bottom line is he has the money and there's nothing that can be done.

Additionally he has a Venmo account in the name of: @Shaw-ad-9
I didn't use Venmo but he did get me through Paypal.

If you use PayPal you can't use friends and family. If you do as PayPal was not getting their fees, you dont' get what you though you were buying.

Use PayPal goods and services only, you get the paypal guarantees. NO Zelle or PayPal friends and family.

I got taken by a guy that had taken a seller with good feedback email address, the con artist just added a period to the end.

Paypal F&F does charge the person sending money, but you are correct, the money sent is not covered
