Default Anyone heard from Jon Jones / Im2gq4u ?

The classified feedback forum is closed, so this is the only place I can think of to make this post. I bought some window regulators from him on April 18th, and I got a message on the 27th saying he broke his leg and he would have them shipped out soon. I can understand how that can cause a problem, I'm not in too big of a hurry so it was no big deal.. However, he hasn't logged on to the forum since the 29th and I've sent 2 e-mails since then that haven't gotten a reply.
I'm not too worried about lost money, but I'm moving to a new state in 3 weeks and would like to make sure they don't arrive at my apartment after I move out!! Anyone know Jon, and if so, what he's doing?

I actually bought an SC passenger inner door handle from him and have not heard from him in a WHILE... So I am in the same situation as you... Hmnnnn People with broken legs can still type.
Looks like CL member v276482 is out an Amplifier by the same guy...

That sucks. Isn't that considered wire fraud? Hope you guys get your money back.

Do any of you guys have an address for this guy (paypal verified address)?

Regarding his past posts, he seems to be 'friends' and local to user Luin on here. Now here is where it gets fishy...Luin vouched for Im2gq4u (in his sig) and got an SC4 lip from him for $1.07...in that thread Im2gq4u even said he was local to Luin who says he is in Missouri but yet Im2gq4u's location is listed as 902 (which is Nova Scotia)...also, I find it funny that this Luin and Im2gq4u carried on in this thread replying to each other within 2 minutes of each other (enough time to log in and out as different users) and Im2gq4u's last log in was 4/29 and Luin's last login was 4/23...seems to me that he was creating vouches for himself to gain the trust of this forum to get as much $$$ as possible and then run. He's probably reading this very thread under yet another ID.

Willie D from the rap group Geto Boys was arrested and charged for wire fraud. I believe he is facing 20 years for this crime. He put up a shell company and acted like he was selling iphones to overseas customers via paypal. The customer never received any phones and he was eventually arrested, dumb fool. Sounds liike you boys got scammed. Contact your local police dept now and get this sob arrested. I bet he's probaly doing this to people from every other car forum on the net offering. The guy is really stupid b/c he will get caught. I hope when they find him they put him in prsion so some big fat greasy mf pushes his crap inward and has him cleaning their draws. lol

Can anyone find his address posted anywhere? I'm from MO and could make a visit.

I'll only be out $15 bucks for the door handle, but it'd be funny..
(I'm not going to open a paypal dispute yet but that's just because of the small amount of money)

Schwarz sent me a pm with this info:

"just a heads up... doing a quick google, he is still active on a few other forums (bimmerforums, explorerforum, and a few others)his last activity was yesterday here...

That sucks that people are thieves. I thought the mods were supposed to protect us from this. You guys should pm DaveGS4 he might be able to help you out.
