SCAMMER ALERT!
« on: February 22, 2023, 01:45:00 PM »
Guys, I want to inform you that we have a scammer member here on this forum.

His name on the forum is juniorbailey1954 and his email address is Juniorbailey1954@gmail.com .

He has contacted me about the bow light that I was looking to buy. We have agreed about the price ($30) and I have sent the payment via Paypal the same day. Later he contacted me and said that he has a problem with the agreed price and that he wants additional $10.

I googled his email and right away it was clear. His email is all over the internet in the scammers databases. I have also seen him "selling" all kinds of stuff on other forums, like car parts and so on.

I did another test for him and asked if he also has cleats and bow cap for CV16 and he said he does and sent me the photos he found on the internet. I found exactly the same photos online.

So, I said that I have no intention to pay any additional money, he just replied "Then bye".

I suggest that admins delete/block his account or at least monitor his actions. BTW, he hasn't posted anything here, ever. He is just monitoring the WTB posts in classifieds and trying to scam people.

If anyone needs proof about all this I will gladly send screenshots of my correspondence with him.
