I'm a moderator on dezertrangers where this was first brought to my attention. There was a user selling some 3.0x16 King shocks for $1000 that normally sell for closer to $2000 used. I sent him my number to work out a way to pick them up (he supposedly lived close to where I work). I come to find out thanks to some detective work from other members that he stole the pics of the shocks from someone else' ad, and has accounts on many other forums scamming people's hard earned money.

Once his IP address got banned, I got 1500 threatening text messages from this guy, who's full name is RYAN SHEPARD. He had my full name, address, DOB, driver's license number, and threatened to destroy what little credit I have as well as send "surprise" packages to my house. My local police wouldn't do anything about it, not even take down my information and the reason I came in.

Now, another member I personally know got scammed out of $1000, as well as other people on different forums that are included in the 3 threads linked below. This POS needs to be caught, and everyone in the mean time needs to be aware of who he is.

Check out the links below, and be careful. He has multiple accounts on different forums scamming multiple different people. If a deal seems too good to be true, IT PROBABLY IS!

Is a tall Oak ok? First branch is about 20' up and 10" in diameter. Though I will need you to clean up afterwards...

Oak will be just fine......... Let the coyotes clean up..... Or we could just perp walk him into the swamp and tie him to a stump........ Or roll him in a green deer hide, that really lets somebody know they done wrong

been speaking with him already, he got 2000 texts similar to what i got. in the first thread i linked, people have his address listed as well as DOB and place of work.

That's insane. You got all those messages and the cops won't do anything about it???!
nope. since anything hasn't physically happened yet they can't do anything. but it's been about 2 weeks and i haven't gotten any packages except for the ones i knew were supposed to come.

You have his work? Call his boss! They might not want a thief working for them, and you can legally fire somebody for that.

This is bull. Round up the posse, string up the rope and let others see that this isn’t tolerated.
