Accessories [email protected] SCAMMER Alert


Wish I came across this. I can confirm that he’s a scammer as well.

Goes by sundown317 on the snipe. How to report him?
Always report the scammer using the report button that is on the bottom left of every post. Make sure you provide details to the admins/mods so that they aren’t left guessing exactly what/why. Do that BEFORE making a thread! Thank you.

Thats very good info and much appreciate the insight.

Unfortunately I can’t see the report button, perhaps has something to do with membership.

Also wondering if the account was hacked, it doesn’t make sense based on his good tenure with the Hide.

What’s the context to this claim? Seems to be a lot of these lately with individuals that have good trader ratings and a supporter/full membership status
 
@MaxVY , I never got a PM from you, and yes someone cloned and added a period At the end of my name. I updated the add so before you post I’ll take it, PM me first

MODS can it be done where user name can’t have a period in it, seems that’s the scam, Add a period, change a lower case L to an Upper case (i)
 
These scammers are putting a DOT at the end of the members name that is selling stuff, as soon as someone says I'll take it in the PX post. He DM's the potential buyer with a fraudulent PayPal name. That is how this Navarrogeorge154 tried to scam me and a guy I bought some Berger's from.
I suggest if a person wants to buy something use a DM to the seller and stop saying I'll take in the post.

It’s shouldn’t have anything to do with membership level.

Also, a couple things to review anytime there’s a scam or even potential transaction:

Did this person contact you first?

Does the member name match exactly?

Two of the most prevalent scams here currently involve one of the above.
 
It was a claim second. I then was immediately contacted by the scammer saying he had a another upper available. It was really fast and didn’t think much about it for a $50 transaction.

The saga went on from there with him being winy about bills and Christmas expenses. Asking if I wanted to buy ammo from him.

That’s when it became suspicious.
