Known Scammers List

[ATK]

Here is one from today. I reported them after they PM'd me when I responded to a classifieds thread. Looks like they are banned already.

Username: hehoba

We just passed 50 pages worth of scammers. That should tell us how careful we should be.

Felton89 is a total scammer.

vibeshappy at it again. Pmed me this:

"just a heads-up—Ricardo mentioned he had those when I picked up a few things last week. I didn’t need them, but If you’re still interested, you can text him at (769) 225-7144."

This guy has been reported many times, why is he not banned?

[Jay Laifman]

From what I can tell from the comments, there is no administrator involved with this. And no one gets banned.

But I keep coming back to this fire. I particularly like where some of the scammers come here to post, to somehow make it seem like they are legit.

Btw, these clowns are getting smart. They just take a google image and process it through AI so you can’t do a reverse image look up on it.
This is what I got from vibeshappy lmao

Brand new account messaging about posts that I have commented on, saying they have a "connection" with the seller. Pretty obvious.

If not, well, here's my known scammer.

Here's a user name and the email he PM'd to me in response to a recent wanted ad I had running;

jonhtrey0 (zero posts)

jsmith990088@gmail.com (asked for venmo or cashapp payment only)

Pretty sure this is a scammer..

Thanks for the heads up on wellk3881. I just got a PM from him and guessed it was off. Glad I searched here.

Almost got me, PayPal stopped it and caused me to look further. Replied I would “take it” on sellers post and they found me and sent text message somehow. This is the info they wanted me to send $
Here’s the PayPal address

is-jaynpaige247@gmail.com

Name: Jawanda Evans

[RarlyL8]

Add this scammer ID info to the list:

Jamie Turner
chainkingwill@gmail.com
(814)971-9140

Scammed me on parts by pretending to be the seller. May have used AI as my questions were answered knowledgably, pictures were taken right from the add and the conversation did not hint that there was anything suspect until after the funds were transferred.
