[HudZ]

Perhaps they should get a PSA message when they make their account?

Something like this?

You are a new member, all other members should please be careful and not do any transactions with you

[HudZ]

Something like this?

Perfect!
 
How about sending a PSA to all inboxes every once in a while.

Banned.
Not sure why I need to keep saying this, but stop trusting new accounts.

Dan. i'd look at the other new members he/she. "thanked" and did "deals " with.  Likely brand new accounts are likely to be him/her so ban those too

You're asking a Jew to use the official form? It's so much more askanish to say, "Hey, I know the mod well and I'll ping him personally on his cell phone."

too many scams going on with newer users.  trade with care or avoid totally. deal with established members

I'm sorry to hear that and thank you for raising awareness about the scam. Have you tagged the admins about it yet?

And not surprised, they weren't actually buying anything and immediately started selling large amounts of things as a new account.

I called him out here too. And also I have high suspicion about a couple other potential scammers on this site, but haven't called them out since no proof currently.

Selling $4100 in Alaska Airline credits 82%

You good with going first? New account suddenly selling a large amount of something raises some warning flags.

<Removed sensitive information on the scammer>. Of course these scammers will learn or get better at it next time, so I won't give anymore public info. Be careful out there folks.

Thanks for your message. I have notified Dan about this. At this point, I have no hopes of recovering the money. Just hope my United account is not closed and others here don't get scammed.

His phone number is 706-392-0987

Damn sorry to hear that. Looks like he got a couple more people as well.

Airline? And how did you pay the scammer? Also your trip was likely cancelled since funds were bought on a stolen credit card.

His phone number is 706-392-0987

This number looks like it’s a victim of Zelle scam. Did either of you text or call this number prior to sending money to it on Zelle? My guess is the owner of the number doesn’t even know about the transaction or even know about the Zelle account open using their number.

Many of these guys get paid ten percent for accepting the funds, and then they forward the rest to whomever.

He gave me a diff number of someone in Florida to zelle to. A lady who has no idea what zelle is. or so she claims

He was selling me UA TB and cancelled the flight
