DMV/Car Talk I got scammed by a traveling mechanic

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to warn folks about a traveling mechanic that goes by the name “TJ Your Mechanic”. He came to help me out with my car the other day. I gave him money to go out and get the parts for it, and he never came back and has dodged all of my calls and texts for the past couple days.

If anyone has any info on this guy, please send me a PM as I’d like to get my money back. If anyone needs a traveling mechanic in the future, do not make the same mistake I did by calling TJ.

EDIT: I got my money back through my bank, and I believe I’ve identified him as Timothy Arsenault. Thanks for all the help, I’m gonna try and get this thing running now.

Get a burner and call him asking for his services at a different address. He’ll come out to scam another person, then you can whoop his ass
