Also got one from Lavahi55 telling me to contact David at (408)764-6309. That person then started texting me from (240)452-1619 and has been asking for payment via Zelle (no buyer protection) or PayPal through their "cousin" but marking the payment as friends and family. I then found the pics he was sending me were re-used from another Pelican ad from 2018. Please ban. Can we also report these phone #'s to the authorities? Should be pretty easy to find who is tied to these #'s.
Also, same deal with DannyJewelry as well. I pushed for payment via Venmo for buyer protection and sent payment, he then gave me the runaround and wouldn't ship with a ton of excuses (work, planning a funeral, etc.) I am working with Venmo to recover my funds. Payment was made to @Babyfigueroa on Venmo. I've done some research based on the area code of the # (940)343-5177 as well as the Venmo name and have identified a LinkedIn profile for a match:

Debating what my next steps should be, possibly sending this information to local authorities in Denton TX.
The number of scammers on Pelican is ridiculous, I would be extremely wary of dealing with anyone on this site.
