i answered an ad for some velocity stacks. this guy with an email of "dcmdrek@gmail.com" sent me an email asking for my phone number for faster communication. he then asked me to send venmo or belle instead of the PayPal info listed on the pelican ad. the venmo address he sent me had a different name from the pelican ad. when i asked to confirm his name because they didn't match up he said it was his sons venmo. i sent him another PM on pelican and asked him to respond to that PM, he said "my login info is on his computer". it didn't add up because it showed he was online on pelican.

i called the number he texted me from and an foreigner with bad english answered. i asked several questions and he wasn't able to answer me correctly (i asked tell me what you're selling again and what is your pelican name?). he got very aggressive and i hung up.

be vigilant out there people. scammers intercept wanted ads and responses to ads trying to get you to send them payment. i ****in hate thieves.
