Once a scammer always a scammer. Richie aka Rimjay aka 2azfeboost is the biggest scammer everyone. Make sure you do not do any buisness with this guy. I met this kid back in 07-08 and we met at a few meets and shows and stuff. He sold me a few parts with me picking them up localy.... never had a problem. Yesterday he texts me telling me that he is stranded upstate and that he lost his wallet in a car accident he had. He asked if i could western union him 40 bucks so he could make it back to Long island. I was suppose to buy a CF hood from him yesterday. Well enough of my talking and on to the "HARDCORE" evidence lmao. you guys be the judge...... Oh btw in my job i deal with cases like this all the time. It is a felony and as litle kids would say "you gonna be in really big trouble"




















I knew he was trying to scam me from the second he mentioned western union. i did not actualy go i only pretended to see what he would do. In my job i deal with stuff like this all the time and know how to deal with it. I just wanted to put this up so everyone can be carefull. This western union scam is becoming more and more popular now adays. usualy involving people sending money accross the country. BE CAREFULL WHO YOU SEND MONEY TO.

Can you elaborate on how the WU scam works basically? So I can warn kindhearted others over the holiday and new years not to be fooled by tools like him.

There are many different types of ways to do this type of scam. One way that if very popular is they will call you from a random state or country and say that your son or doughter has been arrested and that they need bail money before they are released. They even change their voice to sound like the persons family member. They will usualy ask to send anywhere from 100 to 1k through western union. Another way they would do it is the same way the scumbag above tried to do. You contact someone that you knew before but that you only met up with a few times and then you try something like that. you ask to borrow cash and then once you send it they disappear with it. there are many more ways people do it. try a search on google i am sure you will get tons and tons of examples.

WU does not refund money once someone has picked it up on the other end. Its an easy way to target people.

the thing is that ive bought stuff from him before and didnt have a problem. but this was just a scum bag move. what he should have said instead of trying to pull this scam was just that he needed some cash cuz he is having a hard time. but wat ever he is a scum bag.

f * ck him, your to kind. your going out of your way, and he wants to time you. he has no respect for you, that is why you got to man handle people like this.

Seems like a lot of work for $40. I work in a bank and honestly, people need to realize how careful they have to be with cashiers checks, money orders, WU, and all other certified checks. I have seen people crying over tons of silly scams, and, well once that check is cashed and even deposited, it's gone. You CAN recover certified funds from some banks IF the check isn't cashed and IF your banks prescribed waiting period (3-6 months if over $1000) has run its time. And then it's a load of paperwork and investigation. Scams are no laughing matter and I have honestly seen grown men cry over losing all their money, and me having no ability to do anything. Be careful folks.

That's the most common scam I've seen. Someone (probably overseas or out of state) asks you to do work (like on a house or something) for them, they "overpay" you to get you excited, and either ask you to keep some for the trouble or to pass the rest on to someone else who did work for them. These official checks are fake. I've had quite a few come through like this. If you ever come across that scam get that persons info as they can be prosecuted.
