Yes Dp Parker is him. He is selling on some of the fb kart groups. He said he had a brand new welch clone. I called Jerry Welch and he was going to convert it to a red plate for me and tune it in. I paid Parker for the motor and shipping and it was suppose to go directly to Welch from him. I hate scammers and liars! I will fight this to the end even if it cost me more if I don't get my boys motor. If anyone else has proof where he scammed you please pm me. I will submit everything I can get to a good source I think can help use get him if nothing else if he is still scamming people.
I saw those engines on the FB forum and thought it looked like a great deal. Have you posted on the FB page that you never received what you paid for? It might save somebody else from doing the same thing.
To the OP... Did you ever get your motor?
He has a brand new HRE clone for sale on Go Kart Trading Post right now for $475.

If he's a scammer, it looks like he might be back at it.
Yes, DP Parker is the same well known scammer to us old members. I have watched him very closely on the karting groups and haven't seen anything bad, but I guess it just took someone to take his bait.
I'll be contacting the administrator for the groups I don't admin or run, and I'll be sure if he is on any of ours he will be permanently removed.
Contact your local police department, his local police, and IC3. It's a serious crime to use the USPS to aid in a theft. If you have been victim to his scam you have remedies along with the local police. Keep and print all communication you have with him before he disappears. If you have facebook messages, once he goes inactive, it will only show "facebook user" and there is circumstantial thought to prove if it is indeed him at that point.
