He asked me for a summary and here's what I sent him. Please let me know if I got any part of this wrong:

I'll summarize:

Thief (shaneE90) advertises a prototype HKS 370z twin turbo kit for the 370z for way less money than something like that would be worth here:

He has since edited his posts once he realized we weren't screwing around but the site mods have a revision history shown here:

Thief takes a deposit from forum member DarkJak who put a $1800 deposit down sight unseen via paypal for a turbo kit that by all rights should not exist (and doesn't, as it turns out).

Thief makes excuses about being away from his computer and not able to take pictures and then stops responding altogether. Eventually he tells someone else that he can't take pictures of the turbo kit because it's "on his car". This guy isn't the brightest bulb in the box

Another forum member chimes in and says "hey I bought a brake kit from this guy and had no issues. This becomes important later on:

OP files a paypal claim (lol) but it's probably too late. Not sure if the guy paid with cash or a credit card. If it's the latter, he will likely get his money back. If he paid with funding from a bank account, he's boned:

Thief is revealed to be a guy from Canada (Brandon, Manitoba) named Kristopher Nicholas Hope who doesn't even own a 370z. He owns a 350z and has been stealing from car forums for a long time, He recently moved to Brandon from Winnipeg where he appears to have been incarcerated at least for a short time:

He lives here but the house is owned by someone else - :
DMYTERKO, DON
1060 3RD ST N
BRANDON, MB R7A 2M7
Phone: (204) 726-5135

Turns out the house belonged/belongs to his girlfriend's family. Don Dmyterko passed away in 2011 but his wife and 2 daughters live there. Chris is apparently dating one of the daughters (Tina).

Guy who bought the brake kit from Kris discovers that (surprise surprise) it was stolen from another car forum and returns it to its rightful owner:

Kris has a long list of aliases:
Kris Hope
AKA
Chris Miller
AKA
Chris Malko
AKA
Kris Miller
AKA
ShaneE90
AKA
350zMALKO

Chris is a very ugly dude with a LONG criminal history. Chris has two foreheads somehow. Overzealous "goon justice" types dox the girlfriend and her employer in the same post.

Chris emails OP taunting him and tells him he won't be refunding anything and that he'll cancel all associated bank accounts before any money can be recovered:
http://www.the370z.c...tml#post2424505

Text of email: "Hahaha if you think your going to get your money soon you're sadly mistaking lol Even a evidence against they can't get the money from my bank acc even if you several lawyers they can't go into my bank and take it out so your still out the money till all the stuff is taking down I'm not pay anything this is Canada not the USA SO YOU WILL BE STILL OUT THE MONEY HAHAHA LOSER....SO WHEN ALL THE STUFF IS TAKING DOWN I WILL SEND IT AND TILL THEN YOUR STILL OUT "

I replied: "Nice try"

A lil bit later:
"Watch you'll see no more can go into my back Account and take the money with out me It's against the law I talked to my lawyer There might be a lawsuit Ording need to pay But If don't pay it still can't going to into my bank account I talked to my lawyer and my bank so and till all the stuff is taking down you won't be getting anything"

Here is a picture of his house because car nerds are as bad as goons. Note that Chris' car is in the driveway:

370z.com mods are not amused at his attempts to edit his posts and drop his IP and host name:
The IP Address is: 142.161.155.50
The host name is: brndmb0239w-ds01-155-50.dynamic.mtsallstream.net
http://www.the370z.c...tml#post2425821

I ask people to knock off the death threats and harassment of the guy's family and contacted you.

Edit: Fixed a couple things.
