Does anybody know two guys by the name of Bower and Lloyd Whitney ? Lloyd Whitney lives in Ft.Hood , Bower answered a parts wanted ad on here for a crankshaft Saying his friend Lloyd had the crank I wanted , needless to say I sent money for the crank and he won’t ship it despite cashing the money order days ago and he is ignoring my emails Bower deleted his account on here which really has me suspicious . At this point I just want my money back . Can anybody here on Moparts help me out with info on these two ? PM me or lbvracing@aol.com Thanks

I am starting to think that , he sent me pictures of the crank . I guess its my fault for trusting people I have bought and sold on Moparts for over 20 years this is my first bad experience. I should have known something was suspicious when he wanted the money order sent to his wife in another state, I do have the address the money order was sent to in St James Missouri I am really upset over this can I call the police dept in Missouri and file a criminal complaint over the phone ? I have the wifes name ? McCandless boy. that is beyond ironic that the x block was in Ft Hood also ! Weird ! Thanks guys !

Do you know where the check was cashed (bank or check cashing service)? If at a bank, call them as well. If you sent a personal check, talk to your bank also. It's going to be an uphill battle, but one worth fighting. I HATE thieves!

Yes I have all the email correspondence on my desk top and phone . I can only trace the money order that it was cashed don't know where or how only that it was cashed . I did send the seller an e mail a little while ago with the theme from " Cops " I guess it struck a nerve as he responded by emailing back saying " calm down bro I am not eating your money " whats ever thats supposed to mean , I responded by emailing back " I will calm down when you explain whats going on here " I haven't heard back... stay tuned !

OMG thats great !!! .. I had a suspicion based on his other vocabulary or lack there of ... before contacting the police ( which I am on Monday ) I am thinking of emailing him saying already I have and they are working on a warrant for his wifes arrest for theft .. and see what his response is.

I got a pm on here about a wanted ad I posted and was instructed to e-mail Lloyd Whitley. I suspected a scam and the guy answering the e-mail pretty much verified it. I sent no money.
Good luck getting yours back.

Thanks for all the replies guys I appreciate it , it does as I suspected appear that I was scammed to the tune of $720 , now I am out the $ and I still don't have the small block 4 inch stroker crank I need . I realize there probably isn't much chance of recovering my money but I do have a few options I am going to look into . I do know however that a certain Lloyd Whitney and his accomplice former Moparts member " D Bower " are on Santas naughty list and are for sure getting a stocking full of coal. Merry Christmas to all of you !!!

Did you use the US mail and send it with a tracking number?
I'd file a complaint with the postmaster for fraud, using postal service.
I never got a penny back from something that happened almost 20 years ago, other than the A$$hole got a 3 year run in federal prison.

Really Slantzilla ? Wow and the same name also … Lloyd Whitney .. I wish I would have been a little more cautious I was nervous after the pm on here. I e-mailed Whitney and included my shipping address, and Whitney wanted to know when I could pick the part up. I e-mailed back about shipping and he just said $1000. That was for an F-body steering column.

WOW same guy answered my parts wanted ad and ran me around and around on email, didn’t want me coming to get the part, wanted to ship t to me, I said no thank you, send me your address and I’ll come get it, my ad was specifically worded for the part (rear axle housing) to be close because I didn’t want to pay shipping, he ask how I would like to pay for the part and I said cash…when I pick it up…never heard another peep out of him. Thought t was odd from the beginning when I noticed he had 0 posts on Moparts…#$&$# scammers

He said earlier today he was sending the money back on the 28th, I said I want proof you sent it today not realizing the post office was closed today, I emailed back saying tomorrow or Wednesday is ok .. we will see ,I do think since he responded at all that perhaps the money is coming back.. however I will believe it when I see it.. stay tuned !

A few weeks ago I was messaged here on Moparts about a wanted add I placed looking for Dart Fenders. The member, who's since deleted his account told me to contact "Lloyd Whitney" at whitney_lloyd@aol.com. I emailed him, and he got back to me with some photos of some beat up fenders, but they were the correct year. I told him I was looking for something nicer. He then responded with some A body fenders photos but they were clearly Fiberglass and not the correct year. It all seemed too fishy too me. Pretty sure, he's just using photos he finds online trying to scam people. Anyway, he said he was in fort hood tx.

Wow Bigdaddy.. thats almost exactly like my situation.. also a deleted account, same email and also Ft Hood Texas only mine was for a stroker small block crank..and I was stupid enough to send him money... hopefully the Postal Service fraud inspectors will catch up with him sooner or later as I filed a detailed report

Oh no !! beware Moparts people .....He keeps emailing me telling me he will refund my $$$ but can only refund thru a bank ? Give him my bank account number and he will wire it directly to my account ! yeah sure !!! I keep asking why he can't do a Western Union wire transfer, certified check , or money order like I sent him or send the crank I bought .... haven't heard back in a few days , He got upset when I called him a thief ... well then prove me wrong !!... now its Colton Holmes I guess thats another alias like Lloyd Whitney
