Beware!
Yep, I got taken, to the tune of $900 by that piece of **** thief "Cody Stackhouse" (various user names), phone number: (316) 883-6970, with a Zelle account under the number: (316) 883-5155.
I wanted to get that transparent top at such a reasonable cost so bad, all my internal alarms were ignored.
Don't make the same mistake I did.

I wanted to jump on that deal too, but after texting with him, many more alarms were raised on his responses which validated my original uneasiness. If someone who is a brand new member suggests anything fishy or post anything extremely undervalued (shipping on that top would have been 200-300 alone) then best to deal locally or leave it alone.

Sorry to hear that. I know it's hindsight... Never use anything but standard PayPal transactions. Even that isn't a guarantee, but the cash apps are just like handing over cash. If a seller only does cash apps, then I ask them to send the product first.

Scam
I also got scammed by him of $950 for the Corsa exhaust. Sent him via zelle- my mistake, I know. I was too trusting since I've never had issues with any seller here. I've opened a case through zelle but, most likely will not be getting my money back. What a piece of ****

Wasn’t there another thread about this ? I posted a picture and I knew it was a scam. I asked him to send me a picture of the roof with today’s date and he sent over some bs photoshop picture. Sorry you guys lost money on this deal. Sometimes a deal 2 good to be true should throw some red lights. Hopefully you’ll get your money back.

I tried shaming him (Cody Stackhouse is the name "he" used), calling him every despicable name about being a thief that I could, I'm sure they just blocked my number.
Gawd, what a piece of ****. If I'm EVER in a room with him and I find out, there will be very little to recognize afterward.
Promise.

Ya know, I was in the Navy for almost 21 years, spent 13 of those on sea duty, various ships. The ONE thing that wasn't tolerated, by ANYONE in a berthing or workcenter, was a thief. Many felt the wrath of the blanket party onboard, and even the chiefs/officers usually looked the other way. Theft was almost the WORST sin you could do on a ship, because everyone had to trust that the person next to them would have their back. A thief wouldn't.

the only way to get them to stop affecting you is to establish a zone that prevents them from getting to you. Trust the network and if they use BS tactics to push you over the line, walk away.
People get scammed EVERY DAY, it’s a reality. It’s unfortunate that all we can really do is prevent it from happening to ourselves and those we know … but that’s where we are.
I encourage you to let it go, and honestly hope he spent the money on feeding his kids a wholesome meal. Who knows?? May not be far from the truth. Maybe I’m an optimist who has an altruistic view of the world.
People do stupid things. Sometimes it ends up in a downward spiral … sometimes it is because of their situation. I’ll pray for them and hope in a true way they find an honest way to act in this world in the future.
obviously, if they get caught, I am not against prosecution … but I like to see both sides of the coin. People (generally) don’t want to cause hate and discontent, they are just trying to make it in this world. Many don’t know how….
cheers
