I am 100% positive this guy is a total scammer. He is using a photobucket account from the name carbon4exotics@yahoo.com. when i google this name it comes up as a scammer (its the photobucket account hes using right now) also went by the name c4e on other forums. I have sniffed out multiple scammers on other forums. Not to mention he only accepts bank transfers LOL
I would not be making this thread if i could pm a mod, i tried and couldnt. I fully expect his photobucket acct to be privatized after this thread or deleted, but i will post links. He has pics of items in there he has scammed people with as well. Hope i salvaged some people money.
Edit*
Here is some of the evidence I have accumulated...
http://forums.watchuseek.com/f63/beware-c4e-scammer-1495426.html Here he is being reported as a scammer. At least the name of this person is the same name his photobucket account is tied to. He just happens to be from Poland too, and as hashtagtrends does he just happens to be selling watches, and exotic car parts. hmmmm.
I can get more too, he has scammed people of auto parts over and over. I've seen this many times. Also, just because you MIGHT get something you ordered doesn't mean he's not a scammer. I've seen these Ponzi scheme type who send a couple people what they ordered, get their rep up, and then rip off 10 people all at once.
I thought the same thing after exchanging a few emails with him.
Then I thought he may be legit cause he has tons of FS listings and I figured someone must of bought something from him and would of mentioned if he was scamming.
Those tracking numbers are good, and I would have no reason to think the seller is a scammer. He was very knowledgeable and helpful in regards to our transaction. Also sent a photo of my trim off the car and on his countertop being packaged for shipment. Although I have not received it yet, its an international delivery and I also requested he look for an additional item, so I expected a delay. I suggest we give him the benefit of the doubt, and allow the buyers to chime in before jumping to conclusions. As one of those purchasers, I will update this thread accordingly.
I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully all is good cause he/you seems to find lots of gems and I will definitely purchase some in the future once he/you becomes a reputable seller.

I sure hope that if for some chance you are incorrect with your information, that you will be man enough to issue a formal apology to "hashtagtrends". Apparently a couple of board members have current orders from him and are awaiting their shipment. Time will tell
Would you care to address why you are using the "carbon4exotics" photobucket account? It appears this is linked to a Marcin Judzin, also of Poland. Do a Google search on that name and you find a recent thread on our very own forum, as well as various high-end watch threads:
I'm sure you can understand why people are concerned. I realize you're shipping items out, but if you are indeed legit then you should probably address this...
I am waiting patiently for my armrest. I am also hoping this is not a scam. I wanted to establish a E39 parts relationship with someone in Europe due to the parts available for our M5's overseas. He does show some interesting items and from the emails that I have exchanged with this individual, he seems to be on the level.
The person mentioned there (Judzin) was my ex business partner (we had a whole bunch of mostly watch related deals together) thats why there were some old pics in the album there, I never really thought about removing them as I had nothing to hide.
The issue that is brought up is a sale of watch dial that my business partner conducted where buyer received a package but without dial inside (possibly lost along the way). This buyer has been refunded in full which pissed off my business partner (as he insisted he was not in fault here as the dial has been shipped) which in turn resulted in him taking the money from member azziat (as the funds went to his account) and stopped communicating with me at all as he figured he shipped the missing item out and did not agree to be out of funds and item. A bit complicated I know, but I am bringing this all up just to be clear and clean. This has really nothing to do with any of my deals here
I had totallly nothing to do with this and I am in no way related to this person for quite some time now.
Every item sold will be delivered, I care about my reputation and also prefer to have satisfied buyers here buying more items and saying good words about me than running away with people's money and being finished, which would make no sense.
I also hope this is not brought to attention because of some business competition issues as I believe some members sales have been affected by the selection of parts offered and sold by me.
A small part of one of private messages I received (sender will remain private, enough of witchhunt in one thread):
"(...) Hope we cna keep prices up, as you are selling lower than I have been for trim..and I don't make much to begin with (...) I just want to work together and not drive each other down in price...let me know thoughts!"
+1 I would like to know also. I'm one for competition, but to force inflation, that's just not fair to the community. If the market floods with trim and prices dive, so be it.... ie. Birch Anthracite!
I wish I could afford to buy a trim kit right now just to help out your credibility. Forums are community based and if we can't trust anyone to provide items that are paid for then there is no reason to have a trust based forum at all.
As for the inflator guy, he should be voted off the island. We're all supposed to be here to be fair and help each other out.
VENDORs have better attitudes than that.
Hashtagtrends, you've got some interesting listings, sell on!
Especially that idiot spamming all his threads -___-
