Scam Alert Bmw92

divadp17 · 09-10-2018, 02:35 PM

Hey guys,

Just FYI I've been scammed by this website. I should have done my research before purchasing but this person who created this site would post ads on craigslist and direct you to the website below. Please be aware and watch out if the seller directs you to the website below.

http://bmw92.us/

Below is the PayPal account information. Please be aware of this account.

Prices seem WAY too low to be legit. Their brakes are about half of what lower priced legit sites are asking. That's definitely a red flag.

Installsplus · 09-10-2018, 07:00 PM

Prices are way to good to be true. That right there would get me thinking. Some people have no lives.

Ginlaan · 09-10-2018, 07:04 PM

There was a Facebook post of a text with the guy running e92 site getting called out and more or less admitting it was a scam.

jaehshim · 09-10-2018, 07:16 PM

Lets All be honest with each other, We All like to get a little discount and savings here or there, but the truth is that when you Buy an M car from any generation...you have to pay to play...FCP is the only place that consumables pays for itself. Sorry to hear about your experience OP. We just have to always do research at All times. IMO...we learn from our mistakes.

BOOF-M3 · 09-10-2018, 10:23 PM

I'm in conversation via text with him right now 678-759-4539. We should hammer him.

He could be using a google number?

azndrunk74 · 09-11-2018, 01:33 PM

He also posts posts parts on Craigslist and redirects you to his website to buy stuff.

spazzyfry123 · 09-11-2018, 01:57 PM

Looks like he took down his site.

pbonsalb · 09-11-2018, 02:06 PM

These people reappear and can be tough to catch. The internet is like the Wild West. Use payment protection even if it costs you more, if you do not know the person.
