Got kicked out of a Facebook Sports Group for alerting owner about scammer in group.
 
Guys, had an interesting thing happen over the weekend. I was a member of the group HARMON'S OLD-TIME BASEBALL CARDS 24 - BUY-SELL-TRADE & SHOW THEM OFF. I had a poster attempt to scam me while trying to sell me a Robert Clemente rookie PSA 1.5 in the group. I alerted the group owner as the what was going on, so what the guy do??? BLOCK ME ON MESSENGER AND BOOT ME FROM THE GROUP!! No where should that ever be OK. I am still seething about it, as I am lucky I didn't lose my $1,150.

That's really messed up. I wonder if the group owner is in on the fraud? That is certainly a place to stay away from.

Bobby, please report any fraud om this forum and, instead of getting kicked out, you will be thanked a lot!

Yes but that was ages ago. I have since been reinstated, but I seldom go there anymore. Net54 gets 97% of my forum postings.

Heck, even Bob Lemke managed to once get booted from CU :)

That makes me want to join just to get kicked off. I only got to interact with Bob a few times but he was so helpful and supportive I can't say enough great things about the fine gentleman. :)

It was all about a Flags of the World fantasy card he posted that caused some mewling and carping by some.

Corollary of the Groucho Marx line -- I would be a member of any club that would kick me out.

That's wack. You would think folks would appreciate others being told to be cautious.

Daniel Harmon doesn't like drama. So his answer is to boot all parties involved.
