Hello all,
Yesterday I created a WTB post asking for a 1933 Butterfinger for sale. A man named Frank Thomas (no pun intended here) emailed me this morning offering one for $60, and provided an image of the card. I agreed to buy it and Paypal'd him. After doing so I felt something was off and started to research. I found an old 2009 post here that suggested a man with the same name had tried to scam them. I also found another post from 2015 with an image of the same exact card I agreed to buy, with the owner stating it was his. I have reached out to both to get more facts.
After discovering these details I opened a case with Paypal.
If you have any information on a card seller using the name Frank Thomas please contact me. His email:
frankthomas2979@gmail.com and he uses this email for Paypal payment:
ashcole904@yahoo.com
Thank you in advance to anyone who can shed some light here and help protect our card collecting community.
