Potential scammer on Oldspower

Eightupman · October 28th, 2008, 11:06 PM

We have a potential scammer on Oldspower that I think you guys should know about. He's listed parts for sale, taken cash from one of our members and has not sent them.

He is hiding and will not tell his side of the story as to why the parts are not shipped.

here is a link to the for sale ad for those that are able to log on,

He drives a blue 77 Omega with a white racing stripe and lives in Nobelsville, IN. His name is Josh.

that is all I got. Be on the lookout.

best move you can make is to stay away from this board.

it's full of flakes trying to sell stuff they dont have.

That was a pretty stupid comment. This is one of the few places where people can get good used parts that no restoration companies sell for these old cars.

agtw31 was referring to the OldsPower.com site, not this one.

I hate that kind of crap. I got ripped off by a guy on Ebay who deals in Buick GN parts out of Illinois. I know how that feels.

But I would have to say that that is incorrect as well. I have only been a member there for a short period of time, but have not had any bad experiences there myself, nor have I seen any other problems of parts being offered while not actually available. Other then the Omega guy one.
I personally think that Oldspower.com is an awesome site, but just like anywhere online, you gotta use common sense when dealing online.
