Beware possible scammer on civicx: Scott545

[davefromca]

I have a wtb add for wheels, Scott545 reached out to me via PM:

“Email Quinn in OH, He has a set for sale. Here's his email [email protected]
You can thank me later.”

Quinn’s asking price seems pretty low considering shipping 4 rims with mounted tires 2000 miles. ($450 ...red flag) He is also asking to be paid in bitcoin. (Red flag). His emails have stopped coming once I asked to use PayPal with buyer protection.

The thing that inspired me to create this thread was his one post on this forum is in another wtb ad:

“Email Kelly in OR, He has a hondata flashpro for sale. Here's his email [email protected]

You can thank me later!”

As a victim of scamming I’d strongly suggest checking this guy out...

If you google his email, it comes up in a lot of scamming threads

His latest response:

“Am sorry, am not set up with PayPal. I had issue with them in the past and vowed never to use them again.
Scott bought a set of Enkei and BBS wheels from me (shipped) and he made payment in bitcoin. You can discuss me with him or ask him any questions.

Thanks!”

Reported to mods...

Always do ebay with buyer protection. Was wondering about scammers here.

Woah woah woah now...

Surely we can troll this guy and have some fun before we ban him!

 

[CVCTURBO]

I just messaged him lol

Hopefully the moderators have already banned them, I posted stuff years ago on Autotrader and got a lot of scam emails. They are everywhere. Caveat emptor.

Bitcoin = Fraud or drugs.

Friendly transactions on forums don't need all this cloak-and-dagger nonsense, and no legitimate seller has ever requested Bitcoin from me, ever.

I've bought and sold all kinds of stuff on forums like this and likewise, I've never requested Bitcoin from anyone, ever.

PayPal may suck, but if someone gets screwed, they do honor their protection guarantee. It might take a month but you'll get your money back.

Well it looks like Scott and Kelly just got signed up to some of the foulest porn distribution lists on the net.
