Dealing with a "New Guy"

[Jnasa]

I will admit I’m a pretty new member. I would read posts but never joined until recently. I ended up doing a trade for bullets with Jbotto. He did question since I was new. I was able to provide enough for him to be ok with the trade. We are both satisfied with the exchange we made.

I think it is good to give new people a chance. I agree with doing your due diligence though. It’s an unfortunate necessity today.

He sent me a picture of his? Drivers license, his wife's email address for PayPal ( not unusual, mine is in my wife's name) and finally a money request from a Don Harold Rankin. His name is Sean Cassie Hacall from Ohio.

It's officially the off-season!

The most common scam on forums is the want to buy posts. Scammers go out and find a picture of whatever it is and claim to have exactly what you are looking for at a very good price and things go from there.

Agreed but he even included a hand written note in the rifle picture with my HT name and today's date.

I might as well post the DL he sent me too.View attachment 349841

Photoshopped. Poorly.

Photoshopped. Poorly.

I magnified it and see what you mean. He went to a lot of work to screw someone out of $100.00. What an asshole! How do you get him banned?

 

[mevertsen]

Yeah. That's a bad photo shop.

What a pain.

Hope we can get him banned.

Talk to the boss.

 

[Redmt]

I sent him the PM string .
I just got a reply that he's done and gone.

I swear, it’s more rewarding and easier to just give stuff away versus dealing with a scammer…

aside from the photoshop everywhere the euro date format is a big hint that something is off

no way a freakin ohioan is writin a date like that

I swear we need a clearing house or escrow type thing.

Almost no way an old guy could figure out what the hell it was. Like I said, it was my first hint of sumthin ain't right.

No need. I dropped the deal. Huyjen just couldn't give me the warm and fuzzies He could be legit and I'm not saying he isn't. He just didn't make me feel like it was a square deal. I did lay down some stiff guidelines but I would have complied with them had it been reversed with some of the known members here.

I reported him before when I placed an ad in the WTB section for a backpack, thought he got banned

Well then obviously this is all your fault! You didn't report him loud enough!

Man that Ohio DL is jacked up! The lowercase in the first letters of his name. Also says commercial, class B, but armed forces? But the important thing here is there is an innocent man, maybe from OH out there under that OLN.

Wife bring you anything good, @Redmt ?

 

[Redmt]

She's still a couple hours out.

Extremely doubtful. We have a pretty good selection of venison in the walk in and a couple buddies always share the wealth from elk hunting. The piggies are starting to come around so sausage and ground pork are on the horizon!
