Just want to bump this as I am getting pm's almost daily of scammers on the BST. Same MO.....Very few or no posts, just registered....although the time they registered isn't definitive as they can register and just lay low, as the one did just now... Please be cautious and PM me .....no one that has pm'd me before a transaction has ever gotten scammed. If they have 100+ posts they aren't a scammer. They might be something else but not that.
thanks

Yeah I keep getting pms from an account with 0 posts saying that I should email some random address to get the cards I’m looking for.

Please PM on all of those and I can at least ban them and their IP.....

I'm a lot of things, but not a scammer

A few more scammers the last few days. Still the same MO's.....just joined with no posts or just a few...and a price too good to be true.

IF someone with low a post count and a price too good to be true makes you an offer send them my way please!

I keep bumping this so our members will know what is going on. These scammers crawl under the door to the BST and never have registration info on file.... because they are effing scammers...

I received a response earlier this morning from a WTB request that I had posted on Saturday in the 20-49 BST. It read, "Hello I’m sure my brother still have that for sale and the best way to contact is via email XXXXXX@gmail.com" (actual email address removed). Nothing suspicious there . By the time I did some digging into the unfamiliar username, it had been banned. Thanks for staying on top of it Leon.

Mark

Mark, you have a sharper eye than me… I actually had 3-4 e-mail connections with his “brother” before it finally dawned on me that this was a total scam. I reached out to Leon and found out this dude was full of crap and was banned.

Not sure what the scam would have been but the guy seemed desperate to know my mailing address (which I never gave). Not sure what the scam would have been, but I did want to share the “where are you? What is your address?” was the MO of this creepy scammer.

Not quite burned… but closer than I’d like to be.

The perp probably only wanted to violate your daughter and burn your house down. Too many crazies out there to suit me.

Could want your address to set you up for a robbery knowing you have a collection...
