Warning of the risk of buying parts on Facebook and other forums
 

Last Friday, I took pleasure in seeing someone try to sell a Cobb AP on Facebook, using a pic from Google Images of it being uninstalled. No signage, and was selling for a friend. He WAS @doobs004; on here.

He got busted by @Kyle Undefined;, and he got kicked from that group. He then went to another group, same pic, and tried to sell. He was quickly banned from Mazdaspeed parts buy/sell, but then I learned the admin, @kritz;, who kicked him out, was removed as admin. It is safe to say there is no real way of knowing what you are buying on there, with fake users and fake signage commonplace.

That AP is posted on several groups now.

I get 3-4 requests a WEEK, for help on purchases outside MSF that went to shit. From Mazdas247 to Facebook and Craigslist.

Effective immediately, I just cannot be bothered fixing stupid. MSF has a pretty strict set of selling rules, and that cuts down on a TON of scamming. But buying via PM here, no pics from potential sellers, or gift payments is just stupid that i cannot fix.

Follow the rules, use common sense, and you will be in good shape.

Hahaha I was wondering why there was so many notifications from you @Raider;. All I saw was your name and me being tagged.

Feared for my life.

I saw this up for sale on the groups later. This was hilarious to read. That guy sure loves gangbangs lol.

Damn @Raider; have you ever applied to FBI or CIA? They need someone like you :headbang:

I fail most mental health and background checks.

:headbang:

I was messing with that Max Jordan kid in two different FB groups. We kept asking him to show us a picture of the front, but every time he would show pictures of the back and be like "I just posted it again". I was beginning to think this guy was handicapped or something.

I suspect a fair number of them do as well, perhaps you are too honest?

Yeah he refused to post a picture of all the people who asked. Eventually he posted a picture of an ap that said "Max Jordan is not a scammer." You know what kind of person says they aren't a scammer? A scammer.

Yeah, the dude posted a video that looked like he was stealing the AP lol. And he never posted a unmarried pic, even after being asked a million times. Put him on blast in all the FS groups on FB.

The scammer also WAS @doobs004; on here. I took a pre-emptive measure and removed him.

Then it turned out it was his AP. Supposedly. Now people saying the new phrase for gettin ripped off is "I got Max Jordaned bro"...

I saw that as well lol. That unmarried pic would have had saved him from the gang bang that he received. Still his intents was to scam someone.

Someone should find his home address & pay him a visit.

Don't Max Jordan me, bro.

There was talks of making said stickers..

Yeah, I'd rock one haha.

He posted he was selling it for a friend. Another lie.

This is why MSF>any other online medium to sell.

People once in a while try that here. We end up wearing their face as a mask while taking their mom in missionary position so she thinks her son is fuckin her.

I'm sure they're being mass-produced as we speak

Guy Fawkes tried that once, didn't he? It would explain your avatar...

Find his address & cover the car in "Don't Max Jordan me, bro." stickers. Then hold an annual Max Jordan meet....

:iconcur:

Max has been emailing @Haltech; begging access back on.

Can't have Haltech being Max Jordaned.

I read this, and your sig started laughing. It was perfect.

I know right? That made my day

Haha I hadn't noticed that until you guys pointed it out.

unless hes selling "Dont Max Jordan Me bro " stickers as a vendor, He shouldnt be allowed back

Lol at how many people try this shit and fail horribly. They try to run here and complain.

Lol. Fag

It's been considered like buying something at Best Buy, waiting 3 months, getting denied by Best Buy, then trying to complain to Wal Mart over it.

I learned my lesson the hard way with Facebook groups. A few weeks ago I bought an engine from a guy that seemed credible, three weeks later I find myself 4.5 hours from my home, dealing with the problem face to face. MSF is the only way to go. I've determined ALL f/s Mazdaspeed groups are full of scammers and ALL Mazdaspeed "owner" groups are full of idiots. Don't get me wrong, they are a great place to go when you are feeling down and need a good laugh, but MSF is home for a reason.
