There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I feel bad for the guy but in today's day and age you have to believe this was a scam from the get go. Come on, a Spyder for that low price and send the money Western Union. That has scam written all over it. There is just too much publicity now days not to know to be wary of some things. I hope he gets his money back and they catch this scam artist.
In order to get caught in this type of scam, [A 12k Spyder for 3k]
The buyer has to have a little bit of Larceny in his hart too!!

I have done hundreds of deals online and eBay included, and any of these "too good to be true" deals are almost always a scam. That aside, eBay is a very good source for buying and selling. Always be aware of the overseas deals. They are almost 100% fraud. But, if you want to know whatever you are selling is worth, put it on eBay and you will get a good idea of what it's worth. I always say "I know exactly what you are selling is worth, it's worth what a qualified buyer is willing to pay, no less, no more.":lecturef_smilie:

How many times do we have to hear about the Western Union payment scams let alone everything else that sounded fishy about this transaction. Pay for nothing via Western Union.
Ever hear of a synonym?..... Here's one for you, Western Union and Scam!!! Probably will not happen to the guy again though. So sorry for his woes. Bummer.

I agree...have to be pretty dumb to send money without any binding contract or proof that you're gonna get something in return. It's bad enough people are always 'phishing' to grab info from emails...this is an obvious scam...

Sounds like an opertunity to me. Let's go for it. We just need a couple of hundred thousand people to help us out. I'm thinking maybe a grand per? Please send funds via Western Union............:roflblack::roflblack:
Please no disrespect to OP. Not my intention.

:agree: Something like a wire tap or stakeout on the Western Union office where the "seller" is picking up the money.

In other thread discussions on these scams we have had, SpyderGirl who investigates these kinds of things stated it is very hard to catch the actual person who is pulling the scam. Unfortunately almost everything today is buyer beware.

If the seller does not accept Pay Pal than I would never purchase it. I do not always use Pay Pal if I know and trust the seller, but always use it if there is any question.

:agree: +2 As Bob said earlier; it takes two to Tango and the buyer; while totally getting screwed, was looking to make the deal of the century.. instead he made the paper! :gaah:

Even Western Union gives you a warning before sending money stating that make sure you know the person who you are sending the money to. Sometimes I don't feel sorry for these people for not paying attention to details, but I do hope they catch these scammers and milk them from all the money they stole.
I saw an ad for a :spyder2: before I bought mine. Wanted $7,500 for it and I answered his email. His :spyder2: was listed in Indiana, but he replied that it was near Seattle. He never asked for money, but he did say he would ship it to my house. He even send extra pictures. I told him I had a friend that lived in the Seattle area and could go check out the :spyder2: for me, and never heard from the seller again.:doorag:
