I recently purchased a Heli off of here and have just recently been contacted by another member saying the guy originally purchased it with money he acquired via identity theft through paypal. Well apparently this guy has done it with numerous heli's in the last couple months. Bought them with stolen money and re-sold them to get the cash. My question is how many of you guys have been contacted by this other "member". I'm trying to get an idea what kind of crook (if it turns out to be true) we are dealing with. The girl (hint hint) that contacted me said he pulled it on numerous people so I am wondering what you guys are doing with these ill gotten heli's? Please PM me or email me if you have any info about our guy. I don't want to bash him, However if he doesn't email me or PM me by the next time I get on here I will dime him out to you guys. I have PM'd him about it to give him the opportunity to explain, he has read the PM's but hasn't replied. So tomorrow I will drop the man hole cover on his operation so no one else gets screwed.

Can you hear the whistleing???????

Cause we have incoming!!!!!!

Drumroll please...........

The member in question is Jeffery Wright AKA "Signwiz". The dealing with him went extremely smooth and I had no problems at all. The heli was delivered to my wife two days ago (I am in Iraq). So he hasn't returned my PM's in the last week or so but no big deal. So over the last couple days I get three PM's for "newcuteheligal" saying there may be a problem with the heli I just bought. So she goes on to explain that he used her checking account info to buy it in the first place and then sold it to me. So she has already taken it to the law and they are supposed to be dealing with it. I did check his feedback at it was really good. So I really wasn't concerned. I will say one thing. I'm glad I bought it via money order and kept the receipts. I'll be damned if I give this thing back without my money. So there you have it. He had a bunch of stuff for sale so beware. And if this is some screw up.... Which I sure hope it is...... I will be the first to appologize to Jeffery. Like I said, he was a pleasure to deal with but this other person came forward with this info so beware.

Jeffery is out of town,but I seen this heli fly....Looked super smooth, He only flew this heli a few times....possibly 10. He bought it off RR. And paid around this price or more for it. He bought too many helicopters. He told me to tell you THIS heli is a TIGHT machine,whatever that means. Thanks for your interest.

I saw that post and when she contacted me I was pretty unsure about it. I don't know how anyone could not notice thousands of dollars missing over a period of months so I asked her. She said that she had made arrangements with him to pay the money back however he failed to comply so now she has gone to the law. I have given her my email and such to have the cops contact me (I am in Iraq) so we'll see what comes of it. I am going to go to my military legal office today and see what they say. I can tell you one thing though, no money back to me, no heli to them. Whomever it is.

Any opinions on this crap?

I know who this girl is. She was at a fun fly today hoping he would show up. Needless to say, he never made it. She set there almost all day. I hope this works out for her and everyone else who gets drug into it.

Re: you really need to contact me about the heli bought recently

Hi shawgl

jefery had got my checking account number and put it on ebay and purchaed helis and when i found out of this i filed a police report and then jeffery signed a paper with me that he did buy the heli by stilling my identity and promised to take care of the matter he has not the commonwealth is now tracking him and indiditing him for felony counts i was just telling you because i know you are innocent and did not know this but i know you paid him 1400 for the heli he bought out of my acount i was trying to get him to pay before he went to jail but i have to do legal so he will probably have to refund your money the police told me and you will be questioned because this heli was one that was puchased with my account he owes me thousands and has not just sold to you but many


Sounds to me like he didn't give her the money that he sold it for. I'll be damned if they try to take my heli due to his inability to pay this girl as per the agreement they had with the law, AKA Cops for those of you not from the south. Sucks for all involved.

The Sign Wizzer has had many issues before. Our friends in Alaska could elaborate. Don't worry, as you won't be required to give back the heli.

I met him at MayDay and he seemed like a nice guy.

I was in the process of reading that whole thread when you posted it. Thanks, It sounds VERY familiar. I still haven't heard from him. I saw where Karl contacted the law in KY. I think I am going to see what that girl comes up with. Just so happens my family lives about two hours from that town so I just may pay his A$$ a visit upon my return from Iraq. See this clown face to face and see what he has to say for his actions.

I'm looking now to see if this girl has contacted anyone else about this.

Hey Greg

just wondering how the girl got your contact info? You paid by a M.O. right? Does she have access to his RR account too? If she had a SN on runryder and knew Signwiz was using her credit card to buy items then how come she couldn't contact you sooner about the situation. That just sounds fishy to me.
Just hope all goes well on your side.
Tell your wifey to hide the heli just in case. hehe

It sounds like some back woods inbreeding sh!t to me!!!!

I don't understand it either, he bought the thing like six months ago, I paid via money order over a month period so there is no way it was just "Oh my god, how dare you use my account" sort of thing. I can tell you one thing..... Seven months over here with nothing to do but lift weights and convert to Islam (joke!!!). I say let them try to come get my new heli!!!!!! They WILL walk away with a limp and no heli!!! If they can walk.

Correct me if I'm wrong here,

I bought the heli legally and since I did it via money order there is no chance for anyone to reverse transactions so there is really no way that I can get screwed. I don't even see how I would be required to provide a statement on this since his sale of a helicopter to me was legal. They can't very well say give it back can they? It's not like they would give it back to the guy who owned it originally, take his money and then give that amount to her. So as I see it the responsability belongs solely on 'ol mister jeffery. Sucks to be him. A liar is just as bad as a thief in my book. And as I see it, he's both.

Ignore it

Ignore all that BS and fly the heli. there is nothing they can do to you or the heli. The police may want a statement as a witness, but that is it.
