Scammer alert

To Registry members (& moderator alert): This person responded to my WTB ad with the below message. I had not seen anything about him/her on our forum here, yet at least. However, it looked to me (even being an FNG myself) like scammer script all the way. New user, no other known posts here. But, on Pelican Parts he has been written about quite a bit, identifying him as an obvious scammer and has been banned. Obviously I'm not responding. Please beware....

Hi Lionel,

Thanks for writing. Great ! I have a brand new Porsche 915 Gearbox
7:31 Ring & Pinion in excellent shape and condition, ready to mount
on. I'm asking £400 GBP and I will be shipping via UPS or FedEx on a 3

PayPal is currently dormant. What's your complete shipping address?

Many thanks again and regards,

Patrick

Autoparts22.....................No posts but PMed me about a WTB I posted for 69 window crank.

Are you still interested in the part?
Please do contact me for more details
Autoparts@gmx.us

Autoparts@gmx.us answered a WTB ad for a 65 steering wheel , no paypal only bank transfer or moneygram , suspicious

These guys truly think everyone is as stupid as they are.

Scammers have been attacking our WTB ads. You need to be watchful and vigilant in terms of protecting your money and online identity...

What To Do

Know who you’re dealing with.

Try to find a seller’s physical address (not just a P.O. Box) and phone number. With internet phone services and other web-based technologies, it’s tough to tell where someone is calling from. Do an internet search for the company name and website, and look for negative reviews. If you find them, you’ll have to decide if the offer is worth the risk. After all, it’s only a good deal if you actually get a product that works.

Understand that wiring money is like sending cash.

Con artists often insist that people wire money, especially overseas, because it’s nearly impossible to reverse the transaction or trace the money. Don’t wire money to strangers, to sellers who insist on wire transfers for payment, or to anyone who claims to be a relative or family friend in an emergency who wants to keep the request a secret.

Read your monthly statements.

Scammers steal account information and then run up charges or commit crimes in your name. Dishonest merchants bill you for monthly “membership fees” and other goods or services without your authorization. If you see charges you don’t recognize or didn’t okay, contact your bank, card issuer, or other creditor immediately.

What Not To Do

Don’t send money to someone you don’t know.

Not an online seller you’ve never heard of — nor an online love interest who asks for money. It’s best to do business with sites you know and trust. If you buy items through an online auction, consider using an option that provides protection, like a credit card.

If you think you’ve found a good deal, but you aren’t familiar with the company, do some research. Type the company or product name into your favorite search engine with terms like “review,” “complaint” or “scam.” See what comes up – on the first page of results as well as on the later pages.

Never pay fees now for the promise of a big pay-off later — whether it’s for a loan, a job, or a so-called prize.

Don’t agree to deposit a check and wire money back.

No matter how convincing the story. By law, banks have to make funds from deposited checks available within days, but uncovering a fake check can take weeks. You’re responsible for the checks you deposit: If a check turns out to be a fake, you’re responsible for paying back the bank.

Don’t reply to messages asking for personal or financial information.

That goes whether the message comes as an email, a phone call, a text message, or an ad. Don’t click on links or call phone numbers included in the message, either. It’s called phishing. The crooks behind these messages are trying to trick you into revealing sensitive information. If you got a message like this and you are concerned about your account status, call the number on your credit or debit card — or your statement — and check on it.

AND NEVER CLICK ON SUSPICIOUS LINKS

I paid for a part on June 22nd and another on July 28th. Never received either part. He rarely answers the phone and I just get dumb excuses.

Peter Johantgen resides in Estes Park, Colorado. Sells mostly 914 parts but also dabbles in 911 and 356 parts. I didn't find any sales here under his name. Also goes by "Peter jo buzz" on eBay he is "356bb246" and the same name on the samba.

Do business with him at your own peril. If you know him, let him know I've gotten the law involved and he will go to jail, I'll make the trip to Colorado if I have to. I'm going to make sure he doesn't rip off another person.

Following "The Art Of War" you would go stealth and sneek up on him without his knowledge that you are doing so. Good Luck!

I read a book about Lao-Tzu and I think he'd just pee in Peter's car at every Porsche gathering to irritate him.

Hilarious!

On PCA website: https://www.pca.org/classified-ad/318199

And here: https://myclassicgarage.com/social/p...oko-motor-cars

As the old saying goes... if it's to good to be true

In Indonesia...

This is one of many scams by Allen Alfiler. He is a master of the: ‘it’s NOT too good to be true’ add.

Here is an example:

https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/6454900071.html

Rusty 912 for $9500.

Seems plausible. He is not afraid to discuss the car over the phone either. There is a website devoted to him here:
