Looks like I got took! Possible blower scam
 

This guy goes by the name blackmagix on this site. Real name is Michaek gracia. Address is 810 meladee ln., galt, ca. 95632 he posted an add on here couple of weeks ago. #182199615. I saw it last Friday morning and contacted him thru this site. Sent him my phone number to call me. He did that evening. We spoke for bout 30 minutes. Everything seemed to be on the up. Told him I would call him back Sunday for his info. We talked on Sunday & everything still felt good to me. So Monday I went to my bank & called him. Handed my phone to teller so she could get his info. Did the wire transfer from my bank to his. I left my bank & went back to my shop& called Gracia again 2hrs. Later. Said he would let me know when funds cleared. Tuesday he texted me around 11:00am eastern time. Said money's was in his account pending. Wednesday he texted me and said money was on his account & that parts were boxed up & will go out by 3:00 his time in cali..texted me back 2 hrs. Later & said parts still not shipped out that sometimes ups comes by as late as 7:00pm his time. Have not heard anything since. Texted him twice, no reply. Called twice phone goes straight to voicemail. I noticed he took add down to. In all honesty, I hope he's not a scammer & that I'm posting this to early. Anybody on here know this guy? Thanks, Kris

Well I got scammed by this same guy this week. I sent bank to bank fund transfer and have not heard a word from him. Won't respond to Text, e-mail, and all I get by phone is nothing. So I'm going to post all I know of this guy. I called my bank and they can't help because I approved the transfer. Not sure what I can do from this point. Sure like to find the fucker

Oh man, Grumman6 did you buy the same blower?

Yeah same blower, same guy. Seen scammer reference to him on this forum since 2004 from what I found, hasn't been caught yet.

So what is this bum doing? New user name every time?

Did you look at the fighting back at scammers? We should do that. Don't you think?

Still nothing,nada,zilch!!!

gremmen6: what's your email? I'll copy you on any info I get on this guy and what I've done complaint-wise. steve nelson {[email protected]] we need to get everything we can on this guy. I'm sure there are others out there who also got scammed.

Yep, same thing.
Talked to him a few times about a jerico transmission and sent him a check and it cleared, but I've heard nothing since.

Let me know what you guys find out

Guy told me his name was JIMMY GRAHAM and emailed me from:

[email protected]


Also I fedex'd to:
JG Fabrication

Lodi, CA 95240

Scammers...what a pain in the ass.

My email is:
[email protected]

got me on the trans also. routing number is always the same

What gets me is racing junk.com knows what this guy has done, and is most likely still doing. However racing junk.com will not help us out in finding him, except if we subpena them for the information they have. If this was my website, I'd be real pissed off that someone is scamming members or anyone, and I'd turn over anything that could help in running this scammer down.

Golfstalker get in touch with sgnelson his email is on previous page. He will need you're info about getting scammed. Kris

Still nothing, haven't heard anything. Mike Garcia,, probably a fake name is still on the loose. Damn shame! Kris

Got me too. On tex t101 trans. I am going after him with local detective.

Is the guy always using us bank same account and routing numbers
Acct 153469438730
Rout 121122676
If so any detective can get bank info and know who he is

I think he is selling a turbo 400 that uses a manual clutch now. He s still at it.

Belmont did you & detective get anywhere?

This guy is a cunt Racing Junk have closed account he ripped me off with GR4981

Name has to be right as I paid him by Pay Pal and that was the name he ripped me off $4,500 for engines he didn't have

What is his user name now?

Got scammed on eBay by the same POS!!! Sent the cops to his shop only to have him call and taunt me saying he knew they wouldn’t do anything !!! BEWARE OF THIS POS!!!

I Don't get on here much these days. I see this mike garcia bum is still at it
