I also wanted to add that those of you who he has scammed I urge you to call the local Police Department in New Port Richey and tell them. Some guy was scamming over on NASIOC and because of the victims calling a local detective he was arrested and charged with a dozen or so felonies.

QUOTE (Team Scream;29772201)
A few months ago, I was scammed (along with several other members here) by a member named "STiKindaGuy".
I was taken for an STi steering wheel, other members were taken for wheels, a turbo, and many other items which we all paid for an never received.
I took it upon myself to go after this guy and started doing some research.
I found out which chapter he frequented (This One), posted up a notice on this forum and within a few hours got a reply which pointed me in the right direction for who this guy really was.
Armed with that information, I started sending PM's to all the other members I could find who replied to the for sale threads this scammer (StiKindaGuy) had posted, and I asked those members for some personal information which I then forwarded to a detective in this guys home town.
That detective and I worked together over the next several weeks putting together as much information as we could gather, and today I am happy to report that I received the following email from Detective Sean Lundry up in Oregon:
>>>>[B][B]"I wanted to let you know that I have arrested and charged Chance Graham in relation to this case. He was charged with two counts ID Theft, one count of Theft 1, and Computer Crime. All of these are felonies in Oregon. He will most likely be going to prison for a period of time based on his past criminal convictions. He was using Riggs name without his knowledge. If you want to pass this on to the other victims in this case, by all means do so. If you have any questions feel free to call or e-mail. Thanks for your assistance">>>>

>>>>I just received word from the DAs office that they are going to charge Graham with ten counts ID Theft and six more counts of Aggravated ID Theft. Just thought you should know that this is getting dealt with. The ID Thefts are C felonies and the Agg ID Thefts are B felonies.>>>>

I just thought I would pass along how a little due diligence and, willingness to do some footwork resulted in a scammer being nailed to the cross.
I feel good about this, I hope that guy gets the book thrown at him, because including myself, he scammed Nasioc members out of more than $7,000.00 total.
Hopefully for him......it was worth the year or 2 he will spend watching his back in federal prison!
