 Topic: Scam list
Posted: 01 May 2023 at 6:31pm |
Want to start a list of known scammers to reference. Possibly be a sticky message to stay at the top? Not sure how to do that.
I will start with

Great idea as I have become more apprehensive putting parts wanted ads up as I have heard so many horror stories. Thankfully so far I have been well looked after by long term forum members.

Absolutely! The lowlife pm'd me about the 3rd link holder I'm looking for, and evidently didn't read the whole post.

Please just add the profile name. The less comments on this being a good idea or how one on the list got you isn’t needed. The less crap on this thread will keep it cleaner and easier to reference.

These are my own rules I follow.
1. Don't communicate with sellers who have 1 or 2 posts. Most scammers have 0 posts. 2. Making a phone call IMO will eliminate 99% of scam sellers. 3. There is an element of trust when buying something and sending a check or using paypal. A seller/buyer that has made many post in the forums is more than likely honest. 4. Get pictures for anything you are buying that is being shipped to you.

Jonnmark071 is another one that sent a pm to me overnight. Add it to the list. It said Chris Jeff has a valve, along with an email address. I just deleted it.

I got the "You thank me later!" deal too. I can picture, in my mind, someone with English as a second language saying that.
Maybe he meant that you would thank him when you send money for something you would never receive!

A Forum member had PM me about parts ,I ask for a email or phone number so I could send pictures they never responded .This very well may be why .I have sold the parts to another person.

I received this in the overnight hours from Jonnmark071 on a WTB gear from this site:
Gear for M&W gravity wagon
Contact Chris Jeff has a
Gear for M&W gravity wagon trying to part out with and it's in
excellent condition. You can contact him through
christopherjeff286@gmail.com. You thank me later!
I sent an email to the referenced individual and got a reply. He wants $125.00 shipped for a small pinion gear. This is a cut from the response and the english is lacking:
Thanks for reaching out to me. Sorry for the late in
response as i was very busy i just get chance to check my email now. Yes
i still have the M&W Gravity Wagon pinion gear for model 400 and It
has dual chutes available for sale in excellent condition. I am asking
$125 shipped. And i will be shipping via USPS priority mail or FedEx
whichever you prefer the asking price includes shipping. And will accept
payment via PayPal. What's your complete shipping address?
Thanks.
Christopher.
Don't know if legit or not but not going to go further with it.

Just for the heck of it, you should ask him to send you a picture of the part.

He did actually send a photo of some gears; none of which are anything like needed.
Here is the attached photo:
Usually when someone responds with a @gmail.com disposable email address without a phone number also, the red flag goes up. This coupled with electronic payment as the only option.....

Yes, and looking into the profile, the Jonmark 071 is based out of the UK.
Scam for certain I'm thinking.

Another to add to the list I'm certain.
New member, no posts, and references a @gmail address for the gear I'm needing.

I want all to know I had what i thought was a member mail me saying he has a friend who has the parts for my tractor i was looking for and here's his email, i then emailed him and he said I have your parts just give me your address and use Google pay for payment which I did. Next day i was on this forum and found another posted scam using the name (asak324) this is the same scammer who contacted me along with (Correa Joseph <correajo124@gmail.com>) and (Kainanryan5@gmail.com) (qcvtrades@gmail.com) I want all to Be on the lookout for these addresses . Unfortunately for them they picked the wrong guy to scam. Sometimes you don’t know who you’re dealing with.
I to received and e-mail from this piece of crap Jonnmark071
