Just a reminder about a Bad buyer/seller

if you're relatively new here or just have a bad memory, please read.

Its been a while since Reuben Fuke's name surfaced around here, and if this is considered drama, please delete.

A while back there was a guy named Reuben Fuke who routinely ripped off countless members on this and many, many other boards (google his name).

i haven't heard his name in a few years, but yesterday he responded to an ad i have on craigslist in L.A.

IF he should contact you for any reason on any cl***ified you have anywhere, stay as far away as you can. dude is a serial scammer and will cause you nothing but grief.

 

geez....i just googled the name and he has scammed people everywhere.

 

Might also check out the bad buyer/seller link. HRP

I stay away from the ones that use the cl***ifieds only and don't use the forums here. if they are a regular poster here then they are pretty trusty worthy in my book in the cl***ifieds too.

 

He's already known and on the bad seller list. Why do we need to bring him up again? Is this an anniversary on a rip off?

 

I also subscribe to that line of thinking.

Gotta remember Fred,,there are a lot of Virgins joining everyday. HRP

 

fred,
New guys may not know to go to the list.
this dude is a PROLIFIC scammer and has been laying pretty low it seems. i doubt he'll contact anyone on this board ever again, but he's still trolling craigslist.

no drama, just a heads up for guys who aren't familiar with the list or this guys name.

 

Good to know, thanks.

 

he did contact a member here yesterday , and if he wasn't aware of him he could of been ripped off. and many of new members never heard of him...lot's of potential victims

 

Thanks for the heads up!

 

Yea, forgot about the folks who don't look out for trouble. Thanks for looking out.

 

if he is that bad, why does he use his real name?

 

what makes you think that IS his real name? It has an F and a U in it....maybe he's just a cheeky sort

 

your right, but why not change it?

 

Thanks for the heads-up, I didn't know about the bad seller list.

 

Thanks for the info, I had not heard about this guy.
I will avoid him.

Why can't these people be caught,they just seem to be able to rip people of and get away with it. No wunder they keep doing it. I know it's easy to trust people,waiting for some parts myself right know and don't think they will ever come.

 

Yep, too bad the ones who sell only, will never see this

 

Thanks for the heads up reminder

 

Another bad buyer is Nathan Jenkins of Albany, Ga.. He made a deal to buy some parts from me on another website, near 10 days now and no payment or communication. Rod

 

No fear---apparently CA does not even enforce federal tax liens. No wonder they are broke.
