Scammers all Over This Site Be Careful

[NewbieCollector]

All I have to say is please be careful buying on this site, there are many scammers vulturing each post. When buying please make sure if not a trusted seller to have the seller coin each photo and only pay PayPal GS for added protection. I added a post looking for a graded 52 Bowman Mays and multiple scammers reached out but ironically none could deliver a coined photo as well as not have legit vouches. Please be careful!

^^^This cannot be stressed enough^^^

I noticed a huge uptick in new members posting on BST since the pandemic (not a knock on you OP with only 6 posts ) with very questionable deals... no pictures, cards being offered at 1/4 of ebay prices, etc.

I'm not as active as I used to be on here largely because of that, and when I do it's usually with one of the "dinosaurs" who've been on here for years. Hope to get more active with new members once the craziness recedes.

Trust but verify, ask Leon anytime your Spidey sense tingles, stick around there's plenty of old school folks here that will help you.

Appreciate it! Fair enough I have appreciated interactions I have had on net54baseball but I’m clearly new to the community. I focus mainly on eBay (have over 1200 feedback) but also present on Reddit, FB and myslabs, but really enjoy the community here especially from the dinosaurs like you mentioned I just wish these was a way we could better vet out users before they are active like myslabs has!

Seems like the last couple have been responding to WTB posts. One of the scammers even had 0 posts.

Thank you so much for the heads up. Dumb question: what is a "coined" photo? Thanks! Jeff

Coining: Take a picture of the card next to a piece of paper with your name and date to show that the card is presently in your possession.

Thank you!! Just to add, I have done probably 7-8 deals here in both directions and all have been totally smooth and with great humans.

I'm one of those dinosaurs.

Just call me "Dino".

Thank you, Leon, for everything you do to keep Net54 as up and up as we can. I don’t post a ton, but I have been on the site for a very long time, and done a number of great deals with many guys.

I think a big key is becoming familiar with the site and the regulars who have been around for a while. Participation, even if just reading the site daily, is a great tip.

I love it here and would hate to see the BST devolve into a land mine field. Thank you all for everything you guys do to keep N54 great!
