SCAMMER ALERT! Anyone have any info on user lamarz32?

[A Paratroopers 300zx]

I purchased some parts from user lamarz32 about a month ago from this thread: rps-twin-disc-clutch-for-sale-along-wit ... 27947.html

He then contacted me via text and was polite and willing to do the sale. After he received the money, he called me and said he would ship them and provide me with a tracking number... that was about 3 weeks ago. Still haven't gotten the parts or a tracking number. He will not respond to text/call/PM/post on thread. Weird thing is... he looks pretty legit. He has a few posts on NICO about various things, but he has never tried to sell anything before this. I found his facebook page and twitter page and he actually does have a black Z32. All his accounts state that he is in the Army, so I can understand if he couldn't respond for a while due to training or whatever. It's just worrisome that he has my money and I have no product. Anyway, if anyone has any more info on this dude, please post it here.

Perhaps he got sent off to war

He's not military. At least not registered in the military email database.

Twitter:
http://twitter.com/#!/lamarz32 (very active on Twitter, just FYI, last post was 11 hours ago, so no, he's not deployed.)

Facebook:

(According to that though, he is in the Army. He's not registered in the email database so I can't help you find what command or anything he is in. If you can figure out what command/battalion he is in, I can help you further. The military doesn't take kindly to scammers, especially in their own ranks.)

With your permission, I would like to move this to General Chat, where it will get many more views, and people tend to be brought to justice. Just give the word, Morgan.

More random stuff:

Address is linked to a landscaping company, JSC Landscaping.
http://www.manta.com/c/mt407pk/jsm-landscape-llc

Also linked to a few other construction/contracting companies. Not sure how reliable that is, since the google street view of the address just seems to be a regular house.

Also, I figured out why I can't look him up in the military database. I don't have access to Army systems. Only Navy and Marine Corps.

IP address traces back to Kuwait, which, if he's in the Army, probably makes sense. He could have registered there.

MySpace profile that traces back to Kuwait with the name of Lamar Horton:

I could be a private investigator, huh?

LAMAR: You might really want to consider giving Morgan the items he paid for. Just because I can't access people in the Army system, doesn't mean that I don't have a lot of friends in the Army. One phone call, and I can find your battalion, DoD email address, and have you put on report to your Commanding Officer. You're already front page Google results

6th result down and climbing. (not to mention the first 5 are your own Twitter posts)

@LamarZ32 should probably check this page out: post6073518.html#p6073518 Giving you a chance to make it right.

My work here has only just begun.

[Ace2cool]

Yeah, I'm the ultimate internet creeper/stalker, but I only use my powahs for good. :p

Oh, and Lamar, this thread just surpassed your Twitter profile on Google. Anyone who googles you username is gonna come across this. Go ahead and kiss any further "sales" goodbye.

I'm gonna give this till tonight, then I'm going to be using my other DoD contacts and finding battalion contact info.

[nissanfreak12]

How exciting, its like watching something on discovery!

Ace should totally change his name to......Acetheredeemer or ace dont mess with me or ill hunt you down and rip your b**ls off(obviously spaced so you can read.

Ace keep up the good work!!!!!!!!

[NissanFairladyZ32]

Yeah he only has 10 post, and joined last year

seems sketchy but why would a scammer scam z32 guys it makes no sense

He could be really busy

[z32pilot62]

Pulled from his very first post on NICO, might answer the military question and where he is at...

Hey my names Lamar. I just bought a 93 na 2seater. It has about 168,000 miles on it. Im currently in iraq but when i come home i wanna do a tt swap for the car.

[NissanFairladyZ32]

[Bohman731]

Link This Thread To His Wall So He Knows Whats Going On

He may have forgot about all this

[a.blanco0905]

Hey 82nd, you need to start a paypal claim right away bro so they can refund your money, (if you wait too long they wont refund you) it'll also put a freeze on that paypal account until he answers for your money... gl.

Done

[Ace2cool]

All righty...... Gonna be calling up my bro in the Army tomorrow morning. He should be able to look up what I need.

[Ace2cool]

.....did a little more digging just now..... seems the only Army station in Stuart, FL is the Army Corps of Engineers, St. Lucy Lock and Dam division. Doesn't seem like it would be a very large command. Actually sounds like it would be pretty easy to locate someone. In a small command like that, everyone pretty much knows everyone else.

[leplascencia]

If he is the army and in Iraq I can ask a Master Seargent that's a friend of mine to look him up we are in Iraq now and we are not on the global it's a different server.
So is his name Lamar Horton, I'll look on the database in Iraq and ill ask my friend

[Ace2cool]

No info on his Chain of Command in AKO. However........

And yeah, see what you and your MSGT can figure out.

[Ace2cool]

Anyone heard of the Cree.py app? Thing is honestly pretty creepy. I downloaded it just for fun, but I guess it just came in useful.

Morgan, sounds like he gave you a bogus address, because that's not where the majority of his 1400 Twitter posts are coming from, every hour or so. This location is where the majority of the posts are coming from.

Lamar, I have the power to make this thread go away. All you gotta do is ship Morgan the stuff he paid for. As soon as he receives the items, depending on how much drama you give me, this thread will go away. Remember, it's #4 result on google now, only preceded by your Twitter account.

Everyone else, I heard that Lamar likes Scatman John, Rick Astley, and most of all, Rebecca Black. It just makes his day when people call his phone (912-257-9907) at all hours and play those songs! He even likes it if you leave them as voicemails! So go on guys, make his day!

[bartZ32tt]

^^^Hahah that's badass! Don't forget to *67 the phone number! I've been dealing with a scammer who still has my motor. Wish he had a twitter/was in the military so I could "persuade" him like this...

[Bohman731]

He wrote me back and said "Thanks bro" So I guess we will see what happens

[Ace2cool]

You'd think he'd come in here and defend himself. Or if he forgot his password, at least email me and ask for the thread to be closed. I'm not buying it. He's got time for Twitter every hour, five times an hour, but not to tell Morgan where his package is?

[A Paratroopers 300zx]

Hahaha Ace, you are f*cking funny man! And I appreciate the hell out of it! I added him on fb and he accepted. I later got a message from him stating: "they were both shipped 2 days ago ill giv u the tracking #" Sent about 23 hours ago. We will see if he comes through. If not, you have my full permission to f*ck with this guy until his 1SG tears his A$$ apart. I don't have full access to AKO or Army databases anymore, or I would have done the same thing. I also traced his address and it linked to the landscaping company. I tried to call that company and just got an answering machine, so I'll call again today. Blanco, I used a money order instead of PayPal so there's nothing that can be done. I know, I know... shoulda gone certified and traceable, but I just didn't figure this dude to be a scammer. If he is a scammer... hes not a very good one leaving ALL his info out in the wind. If I get in contact with the landscaping company... I'll inform them that a guy is using their mail box as a pick up point for dirty business. If the company is in on it... they will be shut down. Oh and Ace, you can certainly move this to General Chat Thanks for all your stalking/digging abilities!

[Ace2cool]

I got your back, Morgan!

EDIT:

One quick observation: Why did he wait almost a month in order to send the items you paid for? Money order is instant. So basically, he's been holding on to your cash for 3 weeks, and just now shipped your stuff? Still seems kinda bogus to me.
