update- Scammer alert- Scott Norris, Scott Allen,T206whiteborders, Shoeboxlegends

[Leon]

Yesterday a member tipped me off to someone selling a '52 Mantle, on the board, who also said he had more just laying around. So I called the person, "Scott Norris" and didn't leave a message. I sent him an email saying we need to chat. He had only registered a few days ago and hasn't even posted yet. He never emailed back. Then I saw he had been on the board SINCE I emailed him so I banned him. Again, no contact. I was just now alerted to another potential '52 Topps issue, one being sold on the board. So, I pulled up the registration and lo and behold, the email address said Scott Norris but the message he told me used another name. So now he is banned too......anyone dealing with this person should be really careful.

I like to put scammers in the spotlight as much as possible and here are the registrations......Since there is about a 1 in a million chance I am wrong, I will say this is all alleged on my part......

Hi Chris do u feel the Mantle on ebay is ok---holder looks ok to me---I know he stated no returns, but on high end cards, many sellers do the same. I am high bidder right now, but u have me wondering. thanks, Don

How moronic is it that this scammer would create two similar Net54 user IDs with the same first name and area code for each!

Thank you Leon for making this board the best place to discuss, buy, sell and trade vintage baseball cards.

No one said criminals are smart . What is also quite funny to me is that if you look at the link at the bottom of the first post, you will see the email that t206whiteborders gave, it's the shoeboxlegends@aol email address of the guy that only registered a few days ago. They both have the SAME email address.......

Ya'll please keep alerting me to these things and we will flush them out as they try their games.

Leon - given all this mess, you did the right thing!

[4815162342]

Right decision IMO.
