Scammers in the Buy Sell Trade Section

[Bicem]

I was just offered a Babe Ruth rookie for $900 because he needs cash for his sick mother and to send his son to school

He said he got my email from here and saw my post looking for Ruth Boston items.

So if he or she is a member tell me the ID and they won't be any longer. But there are scammers contacting our members off of the forum too...

These are from the BST long ago...the Arrelanes came from the original Trucker Boy find and boomeranged back to me after my first collection sale.

He told me his n54 name was Drumback which is obviously not true.

That Melchoir looks like a scammer trying to run away after Net54 figures out he's trying to scam people.

I remember sending cash for low-dollar eBay transactions. $20 or less. Didn't feel like waiting for a check to clear and didn't want to pay the fee for and go to the trouble of getting a money order. Never had a problem. But that was quite a while ago.

I sent and received many PWEs with cash and change taped to a piece of paper. I think it was an extra 11 cents the USPS would charge me when the sender had too much weight from the change.

When paying, I'd just round up and send all bills instead of worrying about exact change -- or having the coins signal to anyone that the PWE contained cash of any sort.

I have to say, whenever I do a deal on here, I do have a certain sense of trust. Never been led astray, the deals are fair, and it's always a good experience (at least so far). I've never encountered, and probably will never encounter again, such a fantastic community.
