Check this stuff out. Look at the phone numbers. http://staffordmotorspeedway.com/cla...lling-chassis/
Note the User Name here and phone number. Clearly still an active scammer here unless the Mods just did not clear out the phone numbers from old threads with his sales if they were even real...... Bad news. There are a ton of for sale thread under that user name.

Busted HERE http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?p=9288797
FOUND USER AS A "SUPER MODERATOR". Over 300k posts according to his stats. However if you look at his threads and posts actually made he hasn't posted anything but for sale threads that started on the 9th... Sickening. This is an elaborate scammer.

I wonder what he's trying to scam users out of here? Looks like a bicycle page. I got the email from the staffordmotorspeedway post.
http://forumdev.slowtwitch.com/forum...me=CaptainSlow
Also busted here. From what I'm reading he is hacking places and emails. Mods and Admins may have to be very careful here. There was a modified post that described him hacking that email and using it on a Porsche forum. I could see it when I searched the email on google but it is not found in the thread.

Several weeks ago, a phishing attempt allowed someone to hijack the user IDs of several people at Corvetteforum and, perhaps, at other sites as well.
Many of those who were tricked into providing their user IDs and passwords had their user IDs hijacked. The hijacker then began to use those accounts to further the phishing scam. In some instances, the hijacker changed the email address of the users so that any attempt to change their passwords would alert him, rather than them.
Corvetteforum discovered the ruse pretty early on and posted a global announcement cautioning users about phishing schemes and offers of deals that seemed too good to be true. We sent PMs to everybody who received a phishing message through Corvetteforum. We also helped users regain control of their user IDs.
The feedback I've gotten from site users is that nobody here has been scammed as a result of this effort.
NavyProud was one of those users whose ID was hijacked. He now has full control of his user ID at Corvetteforum and there is no indication he was involved in the phishing scheme or any scamming other than to have been one of the victims whose accounts were hijacked.
tkrupinski555, if you have any further concerns about Corvetteforum and it's operation, please let us know via PM or email.

This scammer is incorrigible.... he just never quits. I hope the law does catch up with him very soon.

UH OH..... Response from Corvette International using the contact tab for the site admin..
"This is Rich Z. The account "RSS Guy" is an account I set up to scrape threads of interest and post them on CorvetteInternational. Since REAL participation is so low there, this seems like a good idea to get content of interest to maybe draw people to the site.
Hope this explains things a little better.

I think I am better understanding what the guy is saying now. Rich Z has no control over what the RSS Guy character posts... It is fully automated. Hopefully he stops it from spreading scams.
