*PLEASE READ* SCAMS!

this should be brought to every car-enthusiasts attention
there was/is a GTA based scam going on, currently or very recently

http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=813622&page=

this is some scary ****!

i'd recommend every online buyer to research the seller as much as possible before purchasing something.....check feedbacks, etc....

this news really hurts the integrity of forum classifieds, which means my business will get hit.......so to prevent this....everyone who has bought something from me PLEASE leave me positive feedbacks so that the newbs will know who i am!

It's one of the risks associated with buying online, annonymously. Gusto, people often buy from you in person, right, so no biggie, ^^;

You can leave Gusto a feedback through his PROFILE... if you bought something from him in the past, take 1 minute out of your time to leave him a feedback. He's a good guy!

GUSTO would never scam......I know his real name, his cell number, and what car he drives. There is no reason for anyone to be worried buying something from him. If he was hiding something he'd never show his face or give out any personal info

i tell u, i almost got screwed, and well im still screwed,

i sent a favour to a buddy of mine when i had my neon, i had gauges on my a pillar... ( my Neon was stacked with goodies before i decided to get rid of it and buy a vic )

so i was at my sisters wedding and there was a car show last aug 31st.

so my buddy passes it to another guy in neoncanada and he gives the guy my dual gauge pods with my air/fuel and oil pressure and my clear corners.

without no money??? WTF!!! and today i still have no cash!!!

its a good thing i found him b/c he works at scarbourough dodge!

thanks Gusto

well i do a lot of shopping on ebay and so far so good and never got ripped off or felt into scam.
just make sure the person u are buying from have enough positive feedback to back him/her up.

but i have to admit paying half of what the item is worth is sweet and feel good when u received the item.
bought so many games, clothes, shoes, cell phones on ebay.
