RB26powered74zcar Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 There is a crook in our midst, ripping off Z car parts buyers. He will contact you and offer you what your looking for, then want payment via paypal, or money order, or cashiers check. 99% of the time he will use his real name > Jim Edwards, or James Edwards, from North Carolina. I have personally lost money to him, as one other member here has that I know of. There are tons of posts about him ripping Z guys off, dating back as far as 1993. Read here>> EVERYONE, PLEASE READ THIS > http://tinylink.com/?nzydhaYkzM Mods, please make this a sticky, hoping to save a member the pain of being ripped by this pile of septic matter. Thank You - joel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggyZ Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Thanks. I don't mind the idea of someone finding out his physical address and taking care of business. If he lived near me, I would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruez Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 No kidding... all these idiots are giving the rest of us "normal" NC guys a bad name... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mxs666 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Hey, If you have an address, call the NC State Attorney General's Office. My bet is that they are not that busy down there and that they would be interested to know that they have an internet criminal who has that many posts of google. The AGs are interested in this type of crime, in part bc its kind of unique for them and AGs like to do cases that are not all the same. Give them a shot. My bet is you get some action...

smoorenc Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Hey I am from NC and I am not bad! I also can stand up to at least 10 Z car people I know personally from North Carolina. I am sorry this has happened to you guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titus_RacerX Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Or should I call you Shanessa? If not, who's is it? Who are you ripping off? This is a photo that Jim Edwards e-mailed me as he was stealing my hard earned Washingtons. If this is a photo of YOUR car, Jim is using it to gain confidence.

midnightmoonlight Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 If you use PayPal and dont get the item in x amount of days you can get your money back through paypal. Are you sending this guy money outside of paypal? Paypal is the only way to go if you dont want to get burned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks280zt Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 PM 240hoke about how to deal with scammers, he contacted a local police officer and he had his tranny in a few days. Thats the details I can remember, maybe he an post it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilC Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I am going to contact the local police and DA in my case. I gave him enough time to do the right thing. Too many people know this guy for no action. I still know all the Z guys I have ever dealt with have been great people...including NC guys!
