Scammer

[DVaDeR77]

I posted a WTB add for a used AC 110 inTank basket. I got a PM by janebrent01 to contact a guy named Stewart he has one for sale. Email given is [email protected]
guy is a scammer lost out on 75 dollars. My lose but just want to let others know to look out. On a side not. The PM from this janebrent01 is now missing from my inbox and if u search his name on here nothing. Googled the email address given and found others have been scammed in the same was I was. Just beware.

Thanks for listening: CJB

I have also been scammed by this person for a Neptune Trident. I have all my correspondence with this person and am out 450 for this. I have never been scammed on here before but have now learned my lesson. I am so angry about this. UGH

The name provided to me was "Stewart" from IL and the name provided is Verace Giuseppe with email [email protected]. The PM I received was from EricLewis11 stating he had the item and to contact him for purchase. When searching for the person who sent me a PM there is no longer a match.

i had a similar situation happen to me, but i was fortunate enough to avoid the transaction.. the person who PM'd me pointed me to this "Stewart" friend. i replied saying "does he have a r2r account?" no reply.

if you bought via paypal or card you've got a chance to refund by reaching out to them fyi

What form of payment are you guys using that you're not getting the money back?

 

[Ben Butler]

The person asked for Zelle. That was my fault for going along and I take responsibility for that.

little note for all, anyone who says they have something in good condition for a cheap price is pulling some BS

 

[Gtinnel]

I use zelle with my family but strangers it's always paypal for me.

another tip, always ask for pictures to prove that the seller has the product as they described, and have them show you angles or objects that they couldn’t find pictures of the item with on google

So Zelle gets sent to a bank account, how is this point of sale able to have all these different bank account and not get caught with all these scams?
By the way I also got scammed by this point of sale on the same day as the OP.
Filed every complaint possible ie: Zelle, FTC, ic3

PayPal wont have anything to do with it. They dismissed my request immediately.

 

[Big Smelly fish]

Don’t do friends and family or PayPal or you won’t have recourse from PayPal

 

[Ryan Kraft]

Yeah I wasn't aware of that PayPal would not cover me. From now on I'm not using friends and family unless I can kick their butt

 

[Sean Clark]

When you use "friends and family" through PayPal you wave all liability and recourse. That is why they wave the transaction fee. Just a bad idea all the way around.
