loveends20 is Fake

[Tucker301]

I just got an alert from a member who was suspicious of loveends20
Rightfully so. They registered using an IP from Dallas that was widely reported for Spam and Scams.
Then they started using US based proxies to mask their location, hopping all over the place.

The MO was to message WTB ad listers offering great deals on what they're looking for.

Hoping we shut it down in time and nobody got burned.
Whenever you're suspicious of a trader message myself or another mod and we'll do what we can to verify them. We can't garauntee anyone, but we can at least weed out the obvious ones. This one was obvious.

There should be a fraud/fakers sticky to list all these guys in one place. That way you could at least check them against the list of all known scumbags.

We ban the accounts and block them, so saying who they are will not help as they change names and never use the same when communicating

They actually have cutouts to collect the goods or money

That makes sense, I should have thought of that. Thanks.

What do you mean, cutouts? How does it work? I confess to being ignorant about scams.

The address they give you is a 3rd party who usually just get paid to use the address.

So when you try tracking them down, the address owner will have no idea what the cops are talking about

Why does it matter they don’t know? They’re receiving stolen property/money. I didn’t think it mattered if you knew about that or not. I thought ignorant you “received” it that’s a crime, no intent necessary...

 

[Lowlight]

Every time they seem to get away with it and the feedback has always been the addresses were a drop. I don't know the entire details as this is 2nd hand, but the stories appear the same.

We have no control over it, and all we can do is ban the account

I think I have a couple living in my neighborhood that is a drop. $350k house, almost no furniture in it, no curtains, hardly ever there and they drive a BMW.
They watch everybody very closely.
