Scammed by a guy in Twin Falls?

Scammed by a guy in Twin Falls? Still no money 3/19

Sent a guy in ID money for a 2009 800 Polaris engine a couple days ago, then "his fiance" sent me a message under the guys email account saying he was in a bad accident at work the day he was supposed to ship the engine(told me he only had a couple meetings that day and should be able to ship the engine...) and she doesn't think he'll be home for a while and doesn't know anything about our deal. If the guy really is hurt then I hope he recovers quickly, but this all just seems fishy to me?

I've got the his name and his fiance's, address, phone number, two email accounts. name, phone number and email match a craigslist ad they posted looking for a roommate so I think those are real.

What do you guys think?

Anyone know this guy? www.myspace.com/gijay ?
-matches his description and he told me he goes by Jay.

pm me his info, I can check around, I live close by.
 
my refund was stopped and I found another guy that was also scammed!


Thanks to the guys that inquired to try and help, I really appreciate it!

(Original post: But I got my money refunded and it looks like everything is legitimate. The deal just seemed a bit off and I just had a bad vibe, so when things changed I just got scared, kinda feel like an a$$hole now:face-icon-small-sad)

(original post:I fell like an a$$ and rightfully should, but I can't afford to lose money right now. Hopefully the guy recovers quickly from his injury and I'll send the money back to him so I can get the engine.)

Alright guys, looks like a jumped the gun again, when the refund started to come through paypal I thought all was good. Then the refund was stopped. I also found another ebay buyer that paid for an engine he has yet to receive.

Until this issue is resolved anyone that knows of a Jack "Jay" Costanzo or an Alexandria Owen (possibly Alexandria Costanzo) in Twin Falls, Idaho please try to contact them as they will not reply to my emails or the other guy who is also out some money.



Also, until this is resolved, DO NOT do business with ebayer cbr_rider1000
 
if he even has or had an engine its sad that a fellow sledder would screw another one out of money, what a bunch of chit. sorry to hear man
 
That sucks.. Sorry to hear it... Any new news on the situation?? If I lived closer I would help ya.. I do have a friend who lives in Twin.. Not much he can do, but he may be able to tell me if the guy has any sleds or anything around or if he is just a scammer trying to make payments on his 1970 trailer in the trash trailer park he lives in!! I hate people that do this.. Last time I got scammed like this was a guy from Minnesota. That didnt last long though.. I called the police and he actually got arrested and his dad paid me back.. Probably not a typical story, but I was lucky.. Threaten this guy with the police and if nothing else works, call the Twin Falls police.. see if there is anything that can be done....:yell:
 
Im new here but i know this guy and have bought motors from him in the past. It has been a while but i have bought 3 motors from him and everyone of them was great! Sorry you had trouble with him and i dont know why but he has been good to deal with for me. Ive sent the money and he sent the motors. Once again sorry for your dealings with him. There must have been a reason for what happened.:noidea:
