Hello everyone, I hate posting stuff like this, but if i can keep one more person from getting ripped off it's worth it. I got ripped off for a couple hundred dollars from a guy calling himself, Matthew Dernoga on Instagram using the account Auto Part RX7 Garage, I purchased a part for 150 and 50 for shipping once I sent him the money he tried to extort me for another 100 for "customs" charges to ship from Utah to Texas, once I said no ship me my parts or refund me, he blocked me, and changed his user name to Nuolmike_Rx7_Parts. I have all the screen shots of my dealings with this scammer. Beware of this guy. Why can't people just be honest? Thanks, Kenn

 

Have American citizens really reached this point of degeneracy? That was a clear scam from the beginning my guy, sorry for your misfortune.
If it makes you feel better, just think he probably needed the cash more than you do.

 

What blows me away, and sorry OP if this offends you, but WHY are you buying things from people off instagram??? It's not a commerce platform, nor is there any safety nets or ways to vet anyone or anything. I cannot believe people buy things off instagram. Maybe you should make a Tik Tok dance on how you got scammed.

 

Yep I had a feeling it might be a scam, but was hoping not, it looked ok and i fell for it. Stupid on my part, I hope the money goes to but his kids food or something. Live and learn, but I'm old enough to know better.

Thanks,
Kenn

 

Thanks, Kyle but I'll skip on the TikTok dance, that's for the youngsters. Your right, I should have known better, and that's what I get for having a little faith in people being honest. Just trying to keep anyone else from making the same mistake I made.

 

where did you get any idea at all that the person is a citizen?

Or are you not paying any attention at all to what’s going on in this country? We apprehended over 150,000 non-citizen trespassers entering illegally last month alone, in only two sections of the entire southern border with Mexico. So not even including the other sections of that one border, or the other borders, or the ones that weren’t apprehended. Not that it matters. Our Chief in Depends allows them to be turned loose regardless.

It’s a crisis as bad as anything this country has ever faced in it’s history and the worst part is, it’s being done intentionally by the very people who are supposed to be preventing it from happening.

By any logical definition; it’s an insurrection against the law and order principles this country was founded upon, but it’s just like everything else they do; pointing the finger and making accusations against the people they’re attempting to overthrow for what the accusers their selves are all guilty of.

We all make mistakes and I'm sure this is a lesson learned. Zelle is a HUGE red flag.

Also I'm sure these ******** are all way too smart to ever get ripped off on the internet, so definitely take their lame little heckles to heart.

 

Slow down YZF, I was talking about the OP, not the scammer.
also, I agree with you on what you posted.
