bunch of thieves, formerly doing business as therepocenter.net, among others that they have already shut down, stole thousands of dollars by having clients send money western union for motorcycles that don't exist, they got pictures off another website, don't send them money
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I was made aware of a post that falsely accuses Samuel Paniagua of owning a fraud website called God Father Motor Group and being arrested by the US Marshals in 2009. I would like to clarify that this information is completely untrue and misleading.
According to public records, Samuel Paniagua was arrested in 2009 for violating his probation from a hacking case dating back to 2006. He was never arrested or charged for having any association with the website God Father Motor Group. Furthermore, Paniagua has stated that he has no knowledge of this website and is unsure as to why he is being falsely accused of being connected to it.
It is important to remember that spreading false information can be harmful and damaging to a person's reputation and career. We must be diligent in fact-checking information before sharing it and consider the potential consequences of spreading false information.
I would also like to remind everyone that it is easy to make a mistake and share misinformation, but it is important to correct it as soon as possible and make amends.
It is my hope that this clarification will help set the record straight and stop the spread of this false information. Let's all strive to be responsible and ethical in the way we share information online.
any news? still paying off a 4 year loan with intrest...has anyone heard anything?
As of June 26th, 2009 Samuel Paniagua has been transfered from the custody of the Broward Sheriff's Office to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. He is being housed at the Federal Detention Center in Miami, FL.

Samuel must have cut and pasted the above post as mr right, about the two caught doing the same scam, because he couldn't spell correctly half the words in the post.
Tick Tock Sammy.
Have a cramp in your neck yet from looking over your shoulder?
Well bravo, you were able to post two news story's about two people who were convicted of doing the exact same crime and fraud that you're doing Samuel. You aren't fooling anyone with this nonsense. Just keep trying your hardest to make people think you aren't the one responsible for this. Your time is running out. I suggest you turn yourself in and get this all done and over with.
they just caught this dude in the us this past week with 13 websites including the infamous flymotorcycles.com in nevada and repomotorsport website as well as repocenter heres a previous scam he got ppped for in the uk before coming here
Hartley set up 11 accounts using different names, according to an eBay spokeswoman.
He was back in court this week after Lancashire Constabulary looked back over six years of scamming. This gave them a total figure of £141, 028.52 in ill-gotten gains. But Hartley has only £102, 206.04 to hand - he must give this to police by 31 July or face another year in jail and then pay back the same amount plus interest.
The court set aside £927.52 for 34 victims of his scams.
Under the rules half of the rest of the money is split between the Crown Prosecution Service, the Magistrates' Court Service and the police - Lancs plod should get around 18 per cent of the takings. ®
here is his partner below
A man convicted of swindling more than $259, 000 using fraudulent eBay listings and other venues was ordered to serve 52 months in federal prison and pay $252, 000 in restitution.
Derrick Lee Swantz, 57, of Lakewood, Colorado, was convicted in January of implementing two separate fraud schemes. In one, he offered luxury automobiles for sale on eBay and Autotrader.com. He used the phone and email to communicate with would-be buyers and directed them to make payments by making wire transfers or sending cashier's checks.
Once the payments were made, Swantz didn't deliver the vehicles. Among the autos he advertised were a 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SE, a 2001 Mercedes-Benz S500, a 2002 Mercedes-Benz S500, and a 1997 Infiniti Q45. The scam netted more $121, 750, according to prosecutors.
In the other scheme, Swantz claimed he could buy used Xerox copiers for low prices and sell them at substantial profits. He'd ask would-be investors for large sums of money so he could purchase and refurbish a particular machine. Victims paid more than $17, 500, according to prosecutors.
Swantz was indicted by a federal grand jury in Denver in October 2007. In January, a jury found him guilty of one count of mail fraud and 27 counts of wire fraud. ®
Well it's quite obvious that Samuel didn't write the messages left by "jgixer" as the spelling is too correct. That doesn't mean however that one of his lackey's didn't write it. I'm willing to bet you that since everyone knows here that Samuel has the spelling ability of a two year old with down syndrome that he told Freddie what to write and post multiple times to get the heat off of their backs.
First I love the choice of name. It's obvious by the name "jgixer" you're refering to a motorcycle. It's also funny how you're posting pictures of someone claiming they were caught. Alright I'll give you the benefit of doubt and wait to see if you post something tangiable like an active log showing this man's arrest in connection with this. I don't think you will, but that's ok. I also love how you claimed this guy was arrested in Destin, FL, but somehow you already got your money back while you claim to be from KENDALL, FL!
Nice try you piece of ### Samuel. You aren't fooling anyone by posting this crap. No one has been caught in connection to this case however the proper authorities are closing in very rapidly as well as several organizations who really want your head on a silver platter. As the previous poster put:
TICK TOCK YOU ###!

We JUST got scammed by these guys as well. I wish I could say it was for as little as 5000 but it was $11000. It was for two wave runners, they said we would get them in 5 - 10 days but, of course, we never did and, of course, they dont answer any calls, texts or faxes. What goes around, comes around. They will get their pay back. It sounds like there are ALOT of angry people out there. Hope it was worth it to them. We have filed complaints, will contact the officer on the case, are going to the FBI, ebay, pay pal and everywhere else we can to get the word out.
Sammy must be a real mental giant. He can't put 2 words together without making a spelling error or a grammar error. Go to school idiot.
Forgot, he will be getting his schooling from his buddies in jail. Hopefully soon.
He is so used to passing himself off as someone else that he actually thinks we wouldn't recognize him on some of these posts.
to many people on here dont no where they get there info but this is one of our guys he as caught tusday night this is the picture of him i got from a friend that new who he was and had his mp
they caught a seven greecly at a western union at 6 at night using a fake id cashing my wire that i sent him so to every one we no our true man.
Since our dear friend Samuel wants to post other peoples criminal information all over the internet I think it's time to post some of his criminal information all of the internet too. All of the information below was obtained by a public records search for misdemeanor and felony cases using the name Samuel David Paniagua or by searching the case numbers I've provided below.

According to my friend in law enforcement he also has a conviction for possession of card scanning devices and identity theft. Sounds to me like when this guy is finally caught his ### is going into the fryer for good. Let's hope so.
I recently checked and Godfathermotors.com has been abandoned. We're all going to have to be on the look out for their new site. I'm just surprised the police haven't caught up to these two yet. Their time is running out though and soon enough they'll be sharing a nice cell with Bubba and his ball busting skin head friends.
The two scammers you are looking for are as follows:
Samuel David Paniagua (DOB: 4/17/84) and Freddie Rodriguez (DOB: 11/27/83)
The white guy is Freddie and the other is Samuel. These are the people who have been scamming everyone through Flashmotorcycles.com, Therepocenter.net, and Godfathermotors.com. Do not allow yourself to be scammed by these two!
The name used on the bank account was Kevin Fauchux.
The Wachovia branch used was 30 Central Square, Santa Rosa Beach 32459. I'll give the bank routing and account numbers to Officer Garret.
I was told that the driver dropping off my bike was Aaron, and I actually talked to him - Phone: [protected]. The [protected] listed on the website is actually a cell phone and is now discontinued.
Just got scammed as well - it was the lovely black and gold Suzuki on the website. All the phone numbers by scammedjune2009 are the same numbers that I've been tracking these guys as well. I can't believe that the website can stay up to trawl for victims.
I'm proceeding to call Officer Garret.
I read through most of this stuff. It's all right here. I knew it was too good to be true. Should have listened to my instincts. If someone does manage to track this piece of ### down, PLEASE contact me to let me know. Even better, IF someone smokes his/their sorry ###, please send me some pics to jpack@alltrucksales.com If I can help anyone, give me a ring [protected]
I got burned for $2500. I should have known better. I have nothing better to do than focus on finding this dirtbag.
To the real people that have been ripped off by these guys.
I wouldn't pay too much attention to the last two posters, (fliasian and birghtstarz) which I'm pretty sure he meant to type brightstarz. The posts look amazingly close to e-mails I have received from Samuel.
Sam I know you read these posts. Learn how to spell. Dumb ###. You gave yourself away with your little "lol" at the beginning of the post.
Plus your grammar is terrible. Go back to school and get a real job. By the way the info above is also going on the board for "The Repo Center". Sounds like some of the people you ripped off on that site live in Florida and might like to know where you really are.
lol i was just feed a phone call then an email this past weekend telling me this guys was kevin ken ect, , , , yea i have no clue if this was the scammer or not but this is the info they gave me christopher f**** i have his address in coral springs florida but i dont wanna release it because im not entirly sure if this is even our guy who the f would have his name and my space and name addresss dob and photos unless its a cop right come on here whats going on ? any info hit me up asap
i was scammed out of 3 grand last week and i was contacted thru another form i had posted on and some one telling me the scammers info dob and full name they sent me his photos and his myspace told me his name was chris and another name as well but im not to sure if this information was accurate they even provided me with there myspace makes me wander how the heck they got all this crap to begin with also seems to me its the scammer throwing people another direction some one must be getting close oh ps that phone number above dont even work ? anyways if anyone has real info on these guys it will help out a lot
I believe they monitor this site. Some of the other people who have complained about these guys have indicated that the ### pulling this scam use to operate as The Repo Center. I have been in contact with Erick and I have warned him that I would post all info I have on him and his buddies if he didn't contact me with a solution. Since he doesn't think I am serious here are a few facts.
Samuel David Paniagua-AKA Brian, AKA Eric or whomever they claimed to be when you talked to them.
DOB: 04-17-83
Cuttlerbay Fl. which is just outside of Miami, little town that just changed its name.
[protected]: He will pick up but responds to text messages more often than he answers.
[protected]: His personal cell phone which he doesn't know I have and Ive never called him on it.
They scammed us too for 2 jet skies, they made us drive 12 hours to pick them up after money needed to be put into there bank Wachovia, the name on the account is Kevin Faucheux, they only answer to a text saying you want to make a purchase this is the cell they ask you use [protected], will tell you they need to call you back on a land line so you think they are in Destin Florida, that #[protected], they asked the money be deposited as cash and they would pull them off ebay, gave us false vins and used pics from craigs listing, not theres in the ads, they also use the #[protected], there are a few of them another name they use is Eric Mahlon Paul Scheufler, the address they send you to is :322 Magnolia Creek Road, Santa Rosa Beach, Fl 32459, when you get there it is a gated community and someone other then there home, when you text them as too where they are they then send you to 543 Harbor Blvd, destin Fl 32541, they of course are not there an empty building! Then they do not answer calls any more and they know the bank will not reverse the transaction for you... This SCAM IS WELL THOUGHT OUT >>>>> DO NOT SEND MONEY >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Walden County Police and the FBI know of this CRIME CALL THE OFFICER HIS NAME IS OFFICER GARRET #[protected], there is an on going investagation >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>DO NOT SEND MONEY
Godfather Motors is now listing their business in Destin, FL. new phone number is [protected]. This location is probably fake also. Last I new they were living in the Miami area. Formerly doing business as The Repo Center.
I got scammed too..I wish I read this first. I will going to the local authorites today and prosecute them to the fully extent. They will go down!
