Anybody here know this rip-off scam artist from LV?
His name is Julian Costache and he posts over at thirdgen.org as "Blackened". He lives at 889 S. Rainbow BLVD. #614 and he took me for $628.69 that was supposed to be getting me some TPI parts from him but then UPS "lost" the package, then 2 1/2 months later as I am finally about to get my refund according to him, the USPS then ironically enough loses the envelope with my money order/refund. Amazing how the only things getting lost are the ones going to my house. Any info anybody can supply on this scammer will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Email me at Raptorpilot001@aol.com

For that much money, I'd go after him and kick his ass!!! JMO!!!!
FYI When I buy or sell parts, I either pay half or collect half of the money before shipping the item. It seems to work for me, that way you know if the person is serious or trying to pull a fast one.

step one. Call local police
step two. Call Vegas police with your information.
step three. Call USPS mail fraud investigstors.
Get as much evidence as you can/have.
Emails/the original oral/written agreement.
also, get the money order information, so
they can track and show it was cash.
Not much else you have to do, soon as it turns federal. It'll be a matter of 1-2 weeks you will get your money, or the kid goes to jail for Felony mail fraud.
