Default Scammer Alert - and - Beware of fake coined pics!

I posted a wanted ad for an E90-2 Honus Wagner, and was contacted by Tom Harrison at tomharris5455@gmail.com

He sent me this ...



Needs $3600 for it. I googled it, and found it sold for $3600 on Golden Auctions.

I asked for a coin card, and he sent me this ... a photoshop of the pic on a table.





Goodness, these scammers ... ugh! I should ask if he will accept monopoly money.

Good try, but not good enough.

Email him a photoshopped jpg of the $$.

Here is a site that shows all the ASNs from that router, all Nigerian. If someone had the time and inclination, the user name and email sign up those scammers are using to watch the BST should be in the abuse history list. However, there are a ton.

Ask him for a video with the card. See what you get. Then sign up his email for every gay porn site on the web. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

It's strange how the nature of optics changes out in scammer world. A see-through case, yet the wood it's supposedly sitting on doesn't appear (like the card on the left)...

And we won't even mention the squared corners of the supposed curved-edged slab. Oy vey.
