    Scammers

    This thread is dedicated to identifying scammers.

    I'm aware that many of us have been virtually approached by 'members' who inquire about transactions that are obviously fraudulent.

    State your case:

    Username -
    Suspicion -
    Join Date -


    I've finally created a thread about fraud after receiving my 6th scam PM, hopefully we can all collaborate and make aware of these scammers.

    Good Idea.

    I think you should edit your post and have the list begin at the top so it's accessible. When new additions are noted, you can edit the OP and keep the community in the loop.

          ^nice 11th post

          Although I like the idea of this thread, how are you going to differentiate between a scammer and a transaction that just went bad? Or say i get my name up there, how would I prove that I'm not a scammer and have my name removed from the list?

          Couldn't we just use the, uh, transaction feedback section and research user names before selling?!?!?

            ^^Good point. Let the witch hunt begin. Besides, if a scammer gets called out, he just creates a new identity and goes about his business under a different name anyway. LOL!!

              if you had a transaction with a scammer you sadly did not think the transaction through too well. they either want money orders or a check instead of PP.

              But i agree their are already plenty of these types of threads in the transaction feedback section

                I for one only take money order or checks, but do not consider myself a scammer. I know the type of payment I prefer is a dying breed and is frowned upon but it is what it is.

                  i guess it depends on the person, i bought euro bumpers a bbs front end and zender rear apron from a guy with money order. (you can imagine how freaked out i was sending that kind of cash) but idk if id do it again, times are changing and security and cash back guarantees are what help sales stay safe

                    I would never do a money order to purchase anything from someone I did not know personally. Paypal all day so my money can stay safe. And the transaction feed back section is a good indicator of the person. That and common sense.
