    Seriously?

    Refer a couple posts before that when someone asked if Toyota would give you the oil and filter to which someone (SARCASTICALLY) replied they might even let you use their lift.

    Yes.
    I have to admit the whole, "make a fake paypal under the name of the reputable member that was talking shit on him" thing was a twist I didn't see coming. I don't know, kinda hard to let $235 bucks go!

    It's better if you read the thread... It's quite entertaining!

    Basically a dude selling headlights scammed a buyer. Buyer was too trustworthy, bought from a member with only 5 posts, and used paypal gift...

    Angry "I got scammed" thread ensues, seller returns for a taunting F-you post, then disappears...

    Buyer notices something: the PayPal address and name he sent to belong to another member on TW he's bought from (actually one I've bought from too!) and coincidentally it's a member who is posting in the very same thread, ragging on the shady seller!

    WTF's are shared, it appears that shady seller guy has created a paypal acct using the reputable sellers name and similar email. Or... Maybe the plot is thicker than that...

    Tcbob lowers hammer, locks thread and appears to be out for justice! (Scammy dude used school email, home IP address etc in setting up TW acct...)


    There ya go!

    LSC15 bought headlights from Thumper22, who I'll refer to as stuttering bunny (B-b-b-bambi!). Paid via PayPal as a "gift".
    Stuttering bunny (SB) ripped him off.
    Lots of postings.
    trexTRD said he met SB and would give LSC15 the contact info of SB.
    SB pops in and threatens trexTRD.
    More postings.
    TCBob emails SB and reminds him of the email address he signed up with (Coast Guard)
    Turns out SB created a PayPal account with trexTRD's email address.
    Thread locked.
    Good times.

    Nah. The pompadour topper already attracts too much attention.
