Probably got scammed by user name in the title of this post. It appears that any replies to posts he has replied to and PM’s between him and I have disappeared.

This guy ripped me off 200$ for 60 rounds Mk248-0 last week. They sent pics, said it was same lot and there were 3 boxes of mk248-0 all same lot - actually sounded like they knew what they were talking about. Anyway the phone number is 616-200-8581 and the address I mailed the cash to is

It would be a shame if something happened to this person or their property. We began conversation on September 15, 2022

Same number and address that got me. Dude sounds like he knows what he’s talking about. Not some fucker in a call center in India.
That’s exactly correct. No telling grammatical errors, didn’t sound like a fucking idiot. Sounded like a fudd “Ah I usually keep my phone in the truck get too many spam calls I’ll be around just text me.” Was like ok what about Venmo PP he was like “ah man I’m not super tech savvy do you mind just sending usps money order” sure absolutely. Why wouldn’t I there’s not a bigger trail giving out a home address and cell phone number. He deleted the original conversation can’t find it but still have it on email. These scammers are getting good. He even knew how to mark up the round to its actual current cost. The picture is legit whether it’s his or not who knows. But this is the second time this happened to me on hide on WTB ad.

I had him write his name and date next to the RDS I thought I was buying. He used pictures off of the hide from earlier this year, photo shopped a different background behind them and photo shopped the name and address onto all of that. A for effort but I still want to choke him.
Not sure how you could do much more. I’ve always been leery of money orders, but I’ve never been scammed doing one. It’s getting to the point where you can hardly trust anyone. Heck, some scammers even go through the work of making helpful posts to blend in.
I was thinking about filing a police report Hondo and I have a similar feeling towards this individual. I wish I lived in Grand Rapids I would have already dropped by to say hello.
Police report will likely get you no where. And if you expect to show up at that address and have your scammer answer the door you’ll likely be sadly let down
Unfortunate what happened. But absolute number one scamming method here is responding to WTB ads

That’s funny. I recently created a wtb ad here and was told I scared people off by saying we will talk on the phone or text.

There has never been any honor among thieves and there have always been thieves. Financial fraud goes back to hundreds of years BCE and continues, uninterrupted and always evolving to leverage the current commercial schemes, right up until now. The only thing that’s changing is the precautions necessary to avoid being ripped off. Like not posting a WTB add.
E-commerce and shipping regulations/rules/policy is a different topic all together.
And there’s no way in hell that Dianna Sinclair, in whereeverthefuck, MI has anything to do with this. It’s a name, to add legitimacy, to prey on your “confidence”.
Go read @lowlight ’s posts about fraud and how to avoid it.

It is Mail Fraud and a Federal offence. File a report with the US Postal Inspectors. They are Federal Law Enforcement. This is a benefit of using USPS Money Orders and mailing them through the US Postal System.
The postal inspectors couldn't care less. They will not investigate anything unless there is a documented pattern of behavior and the crimes exceed $50K.
USPS money orders are also a joke. There is no additional benefit to using them. The purchaser of the money order can put a stop pay on it at any time up to 30 days after the date of purchase. If you sell something and the buyer sends USPS money orders they can put a stop pay on them as soon as you give them the tracking number. By the time your bank notifies you the money orders bounced the item has been shipped.
ALWAYS wait until the check or MO clears your account before shipping an item. This is e-commerce 101. Any honest purchasers will not be bothered by waiting an extra day or two if that’s their preferred method of payment.
But I agree, USPS will do jack shit in terms of attempting to get your money back. Hell, even paying for insurance on your package is more or less a scam at this point.
