So this guy got Arrested? Are there photos of him. Has anyone ever heard of a IP sniffer?

With an IP sniffer you can trace back to a area the emails and such are coming from. Has anyone ever tried to track him down?

Some photos of him on his FB

He also is still doing this. Tried to get me this week, and got a guy I spoke with in CA for nearly 3K...

Had both of his accounts frozen that he offered, however he will just open another, and another.

Why would he stop? no-one has forced him to... Someone needs to scam him into being in the right place, at the right time, with the wrong people...

Is this guy wanted right now? I've had him living next door for a year or so, he has several cars there, and I'm sure he's up to no good. I had a bad feeling about him, so I googled his name....... Please let me know so we can help get him locked up!!!! We live in a small town and with some info and coordination I'm sure our local police would be all over this guy.

He’s at it again...


Advertiser : Allen
Phone (323) 873-0158
1966 Porsche 912 Complete In and Out $9500.00
Craigslist San Francisco

Jan 10, 2018 Ad was flagged a few hours later
Car had out of state plates and listed in San Pablo, Ca.
Upon calling him he said he was showing it at 5pm in Napa, Ca.
Address : 1183 4th Avenue Napa, Ca. (this is bird shop in the middle of nowhere)

He said he would hold the car for me if I put a deposit in his bank account. I told him I do not pay for site unseen cars.

He later stated the car sold for $5000.00 as that is all the guy had.

He just listed a 64 microbus in the LA Craigslist and asked my friend to wire him money to go see it. Details include a common story he uses; owner died and seller inherited it. Ad even shows the contact name as Jun like the ad above and same 323 area code phone number.

The problem is that his M/O like always is to put the ad up for a few hours then take it down. When I wrote yesterday, the ad was down and its still down.

The above post is from 1/2018 but someone reported that a scammer from yesterday with this 1964 Bus:
https://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=2218102
was still using 323-873-0158, along with the phone # from the ad, which was: 541-615-7002

For reference, there were no photos in the Samba ad above but he was emailing photos.

I almost fell for this ad, seems too good to be true.

https://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/pts/d/san-diego-vw-bus/7485849851.html

I emailed him, he called back, said his name was Allen; said he is showing the car the next day, not in San Diego where the ad is listed, but in Temecula. I looked up the address and it is a horse ranch. He hasn't asked for a deposit yet, but I expect that's next.

Appears he's at it again.

Seems to be too good to be true?

What would you say if I told you that this Bus sold for right around 10 times that price a few years ago?

Thanks for posting the phone # - I added it to the overall scam phone # listing on the site.

I did see the phone # was already banned from being used in the classifieds, they had posted this scam Porsche ad:
