thanks. this guy just pm'd me asking to email him regarding my WTB post. Funny too since Im looking for test pipes and he offered a full x pipe.

Lol william benson got banned already. i think trinity is staying alive because they actually respond to emails and stuff, like dude came back to me several days after I refused to buy it without using paypal and is like, yeah, I'm ready for paypal now, send my your email and I"m gonna charge you. smh

After being contacted by Winston, I reported him since this williambenson is well known for taking people’s money after a quick google search for that name.

nwn54 · 09-10-2020, 09:08 PM

Winston099 is very persistent...

mym3adventures · 09-10-2020, 09:28 PM

Yup. Had him DM me and I saw 0 posts and 0 rep lol

DanMpower · 09-11-2020, 12:30 AM

William Benson said he had the V1 steering wheel I was looking for.

Would only accept Venmo lol. Decided to play around with him for a bit. Told him to send me pics of the wheel, a quick search showed the pic he sent me was from a forum member's ad like 7 years ago lol.

Then I told him to write his email on a piece of paper and take a pic next to the wheel before I Venmo him the full amount.

Gotta give him an A for effort. LMAO.

nwn54 · 09-11-2020, 12:35 AM

Same here. Old pictures. The wrong one first...

Tactu · 09-11-2020, 04:22 AM

Huzzah! the great admins have banned trinity67. May future users find this thread when this person returns, as they are sure to when enough time has passed

Bashar368 · 09-12-2020, 02:49 AM

Tried to get me also

Tactu · 10-01-2020, 04:27 AM

Got a message from James901, with email for Michael Benson. Nobody fall for this new scammer please.

Only way to get him banned would be to coax him to say some negative stuff about the new Gx M3s... Otherwise based on the number of known scammers and alerts to mods, no one is paying attention to this forum group anymore...

brettcp · 10-01-2020, 10:08 AM

Same here, got a message this morning from "James901" suggesting that I contact "Michael" at "michealbenson656@yahoo.com" to buy the part I was looking for.

Same! I've got a WTB ad up for OEM carbon Fiber mirror caps and received a PM this morning to reach out to that email. Member since October 2020...yeah no.
