Problem is they don't use a permanent address where you can find them easily. Unless anyone here as seen the person or group doing this it's going to be hard to track them down. Hopefully they get caught and cough up what they owe the ppl they scammed but in my experience, you never get your money back

I'm really glad I found this thread. He tried to scam me last night. I asked about a Valve Cover, his price was solid, then proceeded to tell me to Zelle pay him (lol). I asked for more photos, which he replied with "After you pay I will give exclusive photos" Like some OnlyFans thing. Finally I double checked the website on the profile, looked shady and fake, clicked the "paypal" icon, and it did nothing. So I blocked him and moved on.

Just a word to the wise NEVER pay anybody with Zelle unless you meet them in person. Never give money to strangers on the internet, unless they go above and beyond to prove its real... even then, just don't.

EDIT: the name of the instagram was multiauto_giants2 if they have a 2... that means the first one was probably banned due to scamming.

Uariumue Hengombe has a personal Facebook account, if it’s the same Uariumue Hengombe as the scammer.

Dodged a bullet! Good call and thanks for sharing your experience. I agree with those words of caution. There are WAY TOO many scammers in the world today and almost all of them prowl the internet...

They just found me on Instagram and told me that an OEM NFR hardtop is 3500 or 4k shipped. How interesting.

Wow, I'm so glad I found this post. I just stumbled upon Multi Auto Giants when searching for an OEM front lip, I tried to contact them to confirm it was still available. No answer, google voice numbers, emails get rejected, It all looked very suspicious so I googled the company name and found this post. Thanks for confirming he's a scammer. I'm sorry to hear about all the people he's scammed.

Showing up on IG again under a new handle: multiauto_giant1. Trying to find some LBP side strakes and they were one of the hits on google . DM’d him for availability and price and he gave a too good to be true price…he asked for address info and phone number. I asked if i can pay via PayPal lets see how long i can scam this scammer …
