Bad seller :: Kenneth Stovall Hybarger, Phoenix AZ

:rip:

I don't know if this guy is a forum member or just a troll and professional bullshitter.

40 plus emails later and still no parts.

With the recommendation of someone on the forum, I located (or so I thought) a pair of 5th Gen front seat headrest. I negotiated (or so I thought) a good deal and chose to send this guy money via the only way he did transactions via Walmart MoneyScam.

After taking my money, he sent a bogus UPS tracking number and since then has responded with an autoresponder in his email with something like the following:

Who is this?

Ken here! Please let me know if you are still interested in purchasing a , Email and I'll get back to you.

Thanks

A little research found Ken is or was a USPS letter carrier in Phoenix and now makes a living scamming unsuspecting forum members.

So, he has $200 of my money and in the end I want to pass along this lesson.

Don't do business with anyone you can't talk to over the phone. Don't send ANYONE money via Moneygram. Once they have your money, it's gone for good. Sorry folks, but I'm not doing business with you unless I can shake your hand.

Ken, I hope karma smacks you in the ass.

Dude, I know it’s easy to think nothing will come of this, but what about contacting Phoenix cyber crime detectives, and passing on what you know? Some people suck.

 

[LeeBoatright]

That's actually a good idea. ...if it only stops him from doing this to others.

I thought the same thing, but the a-hole didn't use Paypal and I took a leap of faith and trusted him. Like I said, lesson learned.

Ken responds with an admission of guilt:

"Next time you won’t be greedy.

Ken, and his son Sean Charles Gates also tried to scam be by selling me speakers via avsforum.com

Did you ever contact Arizona cyber crime division or attorney general? I'd willingly contribute my interaction with them.

More Ken action

This forum thread saved me $300!

Ken contacted me about a model train part with, presumably, the same scam. I found this thread via a name search right before I was about to move forward.

Ping me if you want the details for an investigation.
