Scammers in the Buy Sell Trade Section

[Bobsbats]

Leon,

Add a William Houck to the Scammer list and I had an interaction with Johngoldberg679@gmail.com. When I asked for his Member ID, he replied back sb1. While I don't know many people on here, he happened to give the ID of Scott B, who I recognized. So even though he coined the item, I am sure I would have never received it. So to concur with Leon, they are using valid member ID's.

Yep, I just had a Willam Houck email me in regards to a WTB post of mine. Luckily he’s not very savvy, clearly a scammer.

Jack Corrigan is another name who’s emailed me from BST I found suspicious.

I figure it's a good time to bump this thread again. I have had 3 scammer situations this morning (with other members). The last one asked our member for a Whatsapp number. If anyone does that, I would tell them to F off. No good comes from that while doing a card deal. Everyone should be careful. Even if someone gives a good User ID they can be faking it and be someone else. Someone posed as Scott B (sb1) one time. I laughed when he said his name was something other than Scott......

Not sure if this is the "correct" way to do this, but please add this idiot any kind of banned list we got going......

Contacted me regarding a post I had under 50-59 WTB regarding 1959 Homerun Derby cards. Definitely a scammer. I worked in corporate IT for over 20 years, lol.

Just a friendly FYI otherwise........thanks!

If I really want to draw out the scammers for an entertaining back-and-forth, maybe I’ll post a WTB ‘54 Topps Mantle or something similar.

davidbassett003 is on the phone. He wants to sell me a Verne Clemons card for $15.00. Should I pull the trigger? He wants to use paypal. Pretty good deal for a V61 SGC 60.

I second this.

He emailed me yesterday, I found it sketchy so I reached out to Leon and found out that he has been banned. I will stay away from his guy. He is actively trolling our BST.

Heads up all

Look to your right. It's right there for everyone to see for all members. Has been there from day 1.

That is the immediate way(98% of the time) to know it's a scammer.

And I am getting an average of 2-3 scammer ban requests a day..BE CAREFUL ON THE BST.

All of them that I've encountered so far have had that days join date, and zero posts. Not one has hit my post on bst with a post of what they had to offer up for sale just sent pm asking if interested, and to give them my offer. I offered $15.00 on a card worth much more and they took the offer, and wanted to use paypal. Not real hard of a nut to crack. I'm sure paypal would have been f&f at best.

beware

[Leon]

Longtime members, who post often, are still getting scammed. There are multiple instances of trolls every day.
And it's by trolls that have no, or almost no posts, and have supposedly recently registered.

I am not sure how I can put this more plainly. VET YOUR TRADING PARTNER OR BE SCAMMED

I placed a post about buying PSA graded football for resale. Got two emails offering me cards. I checked on ebay and they were listed under Starx Cards and Deans Cards. I think the guy was a crook. I got two emails from two different email address. Beware of the crooks

lastnamefirstnamethreedigits at gmail for both. I don’t believe in coincidences so I’d bet it’s the same halfwit at the other end of each address. If they’re too dumb to realize they send pics of the ‘same’ card with two different cert numbers, well…

We could contact the email providers of known scammers and have their accounts terminated. I know Google will do this with gmail accounts. Easy to do and might make it a bit painful to the scammer.

Not sure how that works with Google. But I’m sure the scammers won’t mind me posting their email addresses since they aren’t members here and they are looking to sell
