I am starting this thread as a precaution as several people contacted me today to say this person has been posting engines and transmissions on the site for low prices with "Free Shipping" and they found the prices impossible to believe.

I found ALL of his ads were using photos stolen off the Internet so he has been banned from the site pending further information.

If anyone has had direct contact with this seller and wants to provide feedback, please do so.

There's no common combo to give 2375cc and NO ONE would sell that motor for $1000 with FREE shipping.

I've had a concern about this particular posted item. When I asked the seller about his items and more pics. Many looked like samba cut and paste pics. He also insisted to use Wal-Mart direct pay not pay pal or bank transfers. He opened the account the same day as the post.
His prices are outrageously cheap and free shipping too. Some of his claims don't add up.

Boosting this up as at least 2 people have told me this guy scammed them.

If anyone has contacted the police and has a case going, please post the information for others.

I did call RIA Financial Services the company that takes care of the Money Grams for Wal-Mart and reported the suspected scam. I was informed that John Kirk is now banned from sending and/or receiving any money from all Wal-Marts in the United States again.

Looks like this guy is at it again. A bunch of people in a couple of FB pages got taken by him as well. He was posting up a bunch of Ghia bumpers.
