Possible Scammer Alert

Post by johnnymack »

I have a post for a WTB a Rath R3/ 4 Tuning slide on The Chat.
I was contacted by a Joseph Williams telling me he has a Friend who has one. Linnyard a whisleflow@ outook .com.
I contacted him and he sent pics. All looked good. No PayPal acct. I normally look up people on Social Media/ Facebook to make sure they are who they say they are before I send funds. Well...No Facebook or any Internet Persona. He said he had it posted for sale on Chisam/ Tubenet. No trace of an ad from him. So apparently this is a new MO for scammers ,Someone contacts you about your ad and they say they know this Guy who has exactly what you are lookin for. Quite a few posts on Tubenet about it. So This Lennyard aka Linn H who also told me their name was Linn Alexander S born and raised in CA. They were not on Facebook one day and then the next they are. If you know of these individuals being on here let me know. I will retract this. Just a warning. This was a pretty believable scam. No Pressure. I'm glad I looked deeper into it. Best Wishes,John McKevitt

I assume this person reached out over email? Can you send me the email address in a PM and I’ll investigate
