As a Total outsider looking in. It is VERY,VERY obvious,,he scammed you guys. I don't care his age or standing. He advertised and SOLD the SAME parts on at least TWO different sites. And has now TRIED to vanish. Problem with his theory is... You can't disappear : )... the only thing he should be worried about is. If law enforcement,,or an armed individual he ripped off shows up at his doorstep . You have his name,and I assume a close town of where he lives. I would file a police report with his local police and see if that returns the funds here. What a damn shame... jmho

Well guys, I've made multiple calls to Jacob's cell as well as texts. No reply. I've been trying what I think is a home phone number with no reply as well. I've left messages on his cell phone but not at the home number yet. I'm not even sure the home phone number is actually the right Yarbrough's yet. I just left Jacob a message now telling him that the police may be involved soon and if he's going to do anything he had better do it soon. At this point I wouldn't hesitate to file PayPal claims against him and possibly contact the local authorities.

[Dirtweed]

Well I escalated my claim with paypal. Next is to Call my VISA card that I used.

[M.Pargiello]

This is B.S.

Why do people do this and think they can get away with it? I hope someone shows up at his house and knocks a few teeth it. He was obviously scamming from the get-go

[Dirtcrasher]

He seems to be a loser; From time to time we will have this happen and it would be great if someone could go to his home.

Other members have even ship me stuff before they even get paid.

We are an elite group with a passion for trikes and fortunately the majority of the guys here are very honest.

I just don't have it in me to steal because karma always come back to bite you.......

i paid him for the front brake assembly and the manual i paid $30 i used paypal but sent it as a gift as i had never used it before and that was what he told me to do. i dont understand why this group is full of great people wanting to help. i too have had a fellow member send me parts before receiving money but i THOUGHT we could trust each other

[fabiodriven]

He's a confused kid, which is no excuse. He may be at a point in his life now where he feels he has nothing to lose. I've made more calls and texts, still no reply. I will keep calling until I get in touch with somebody. If anyone wants his phone numbers, just shoot me a PM. I'm sure the more calls he gets the better.

Those of you who paid with PayPal should be able to get everything back if you file a claim. I think they will even pay out of their pockets when something like this happens. What a shame that someone would do something like this. Best of luck to you all.

[keister]

This is very disappointing! I talked to him (and his family) at least the past 3 years at TrikeFest. He always seemed like a very honest, quiet, humble,and upstanding kid. Quite the opposite of many teenage punks you might come across on a daily basis. I would never have pegged him as a scammer in any way shape or form.

Hopefully you guys all get your money back. Quite a discouraging development....

While it’s a nice thought I would advise any of you thinking of doing it to think twice. The law would be on his side every step of the way and who knows what kind of hell could break lose if he’s armed or high on meth. Wow, look at me, the voice of reason! I must be getting old!
