I just now had a PM about this one. He gave a good user id, 1966Cuda, but is no where close to that person. Just because they give a good ID doesn't mean they aren't a scammer. If there is anything at all that makes anyone leery please check with me to make sure the ID is the real person that owns it. Caveat emptor

I posted a thread a week ago about a scammer interaction; I think it was same guy as DJ just experienced. The gateway is your email address. Do not provide it. Make them contact you by net54 PM first. If they are not real, they cannot PM you

Absolutely true.
And I want to point out that just because they PM you doesn't mean they aren't necessarily a scammer. IT just means they haven't been banned yet, once they snuck under the door.

They wanted me to send $ to estherwanjiru763@yahoo.com. Keep that in mind moving forward.

Well, after 35 years of collecting I finally got scammed here on the b/s/t a couple days ago and if was by the guy (or gal) that Don mentions here in post #1.

I was in a rush heading out the door and before I caught on to what was going on I’d sent this crook $90 bucks via PP FF for an Obak common that he sent me a scan on.

Their PayPal address was - marynyagothi@yahoo.com

I’m actually disappointed in myself as I should have known better, but got caught with my guard down for just a few seconds while in a rush. Dammitt!!!!

Hmm, I just got a series of emails from this guy. I was just trying to help someone out by posting pics for him and now I see this. Disappointing.

Terrible stuff. So sorry it happened. One reason I never, ever use PPFF nor to I allow buyers to use it.

I had a scammer PM me here, my first (and only) reply to my first "wanted" post. He kept sending me images of cards asking what I'd offer for them. But I could track down the cards to their sources (PSA #s are so convenient!), and knew it wasn't real (that, plus the bad grammar in his writing were good tipoffs.....)

I won't use it either. If it's the only option for payment I just skip on by even if it's a person that has made many deals on this site. There's been a few cards that I wanted to bid on or by that I passed on.

Selling and getting paid PayPal FF-a collector buddy was selling at a show getting money funneled and paid through PayPal friends and family--Apparently PayPal detectives didn't like $75.000 plus in payments with NO FEES--He was banned from any future transactions-- don't really know how PayPal screens FF deals?

I wonder if PayPal then hands off that info to the IRS.

Eugene Petersons is another fraud buyer who tried to use my user name to reach out to my buyer posing as me. Leon has since blocked but just a heads up just in case he finds another way in

Wichiewichie: "Would you like to buy these prewar cards?"

Sorry, I see you typed something, but all I'm getting from it is "Ooo-eee-ooo-aahh-aahh, ting-tang, walla-walla bing-bang".

If Wichiewichie is from Weeki Wachee, watch out, but if Peterson is from St. Petersburg it’s okay. Thanks Al.
