Report Scammers here

[Tackle]

Hey All,

As most are aware we've got a constant battle on our hands with scammers, in particular they like to target the "Wanted" ads.

Case in point a member yesterday posted up looking for a reasonably rare bit of kit, so I warned him to be wary of any offers he receives,  sure enough today he confirms a scammer contacts him with said bit of kit, his username was Croshting475, upon checking his profile I see he'd received negative feedback from 4 members approximately 2 weeks ago, which is great, it all helps others.

BUT the guy was still here, still trying to con people, as negative feedback on its own doesn't automatically let the admin team (or us minions) know there's a scammer in our midst. 

So I'd appreciate it if you identify a possible scammer, stick a post on this thread, ideally give his username with the @ symbol in front of it, for example @Tackle, as that makes it easier to go straight to his profile, we'll  look at it, maybe pm you for further info, & if needed ban his thieving ass?.

Thanks guys, & remember, NEVER paypal friends & family, or bank transfer, no matter what sob story they give you.

Cheers 

Mark

Yeah, I got a message from the same guy. Checked the feedback and saw he was a scammer.

 

I got a PM from a user just arrived called graysonrech. Claimed his friend had the gun I was looking for, asked me to email him.

 

email was stragermichael1@gmail.com, don't know if it's someone who's been here previously.

I won't buy anything off a stranger unless they show me a photo of that item with something absolutely stupidly random like a toilet roll or a a hand full or gravel ?

Definitely a scammer. This is what a Google search of that e mail address brings up

 

To me if a username has a name in it and that name isn't in the e mail address that's a massive red flag

I've got rid of him (but he'll be back?), I don't think I've heard of anyone who's had a pm saying "my mate/uncle etc has what you're after, email him at xxxx xxxx.com" who actually got what they wanted ?

I suspect that admins should know about this post …..
