I don't know if this is the right board to post,if not then please move. i just felt this was urgent to post before anyone gets ripped off. Anyway,a certain new member from Venezuela (not gonna post his username but if he replies to this thread then you will all know anyway) has lied to me about his refs in order to try and make me send some figures at the same time as him. Since sending out of country usually means that it is harder to track, I suspect foul play on his part. He also barely had about 58 posts at the time so it would be hard for him to have already done 2 deals and have 3 pending, as he told me in a pm. So I tried to confront him but he never replied despite always being shown as online. He also changed his username before (I wonder why?  ) despite barely entering this board on around 8th this month. I'm no expert at this stuff but I would be careful around him. Not trying to insult or attack him,maybe he wasn't trying scam me,just giving a heads up to everyone out there just in case.Also remeber to always be sure to check the good traders list on the trade board before doing any transaction. Thanks for reading and have a nice day! UPDATE: He has closed his account shortly after this was posted. Guess he got scared off. |

If you're certain he was lying, then I would def post his username. However just remember to never post someones shipping address in public.

Are u talking bout Alberto Del Rio I never said any names,but the user seems pretty suspicous. Hopefully hes not scaming you but seems strange that theres no evidence of his so called refs on his old username or new one. |

I would post this in classifieds too. But i would post his name so people know to not deal with him or who to be aware of. Just don't put his address on.

Hmmm i suspect the guy your talking about is an old member called Tigercheo who scammed me and as i re-call every time he makes a new account he gets a "gimmick" he also tries to act like a nice guy and tries to persuade you to send first then gives you a fake tracking number. I wish this site made it so you had to have 500 posts to enter classifieds just to reduce the amount of scammers, Also his pictures have shitty quality...almost like a really grainy look....which is what gives him away most of the time.

I also messaged him that I would trade him if he sends first due to refs (2 done/2 pending against his 0/0) and even gave him my address first but he never responded with his. Later I asked him if he still wanted the figures because several people were asking me about them and he just said that he won't send first even if its due to refs. |

It could be him,I'm not sure since I'm no vet on here. He seemed strange as I have been scammed before on YT and I can see some signs of similarity. |

I would report it to the mods/admins if you seriously think that you got scammed by him. Or just file for fraudent mail. |

I think he deleted his account i just tried looking for him...he'll return though....maybe we can persuade the site mods to make it so only higher post counts can enter the classifieds...or do something because he's pissing me off....seriously...he already has a really bad reputation here...i'm sure hes already scammed more than 10 people and he just doesn't stop......my guess is that he cant afford figures so he scams people cause of his jealousy. |

Quite likely,he made a post about an hour ago so maybe he fled? |
