Are associated with this scammer. After using copy paste onto a simple google search. This is a well known scammer across various platforms. He messaged me twice on separate "WTB" post I made. Same as the other scams he's done. Stating to email tenthony01@gmail.com that he has what I'm looking for. Don't fall for it! Just a heads up. As always PayPal goods and services or any buyer backed platforms!

It really has gotten ridiculous. EVERYTIME, you post in a FS ad or WTB ad my inbox blows up with new accounts and private email contacts from random ass people .

Shit really does get old

Why can't these members be cut-off if they're spamming members?

Let's just all agree to reroute them to a FBI or CIA number. But honestly they can go fuck themselves

He answered one of my WTB posts as well for a diffuser (e82). When I asked for a picture of the diffuser with a name and date, he sent one so it seems the item exists. If I use PayPal, what do I have to lose?

Your time. It's a obvious scam. Photos are easy to get of any item. Even used

Watch out for this guy as well. He tried sending me pics from someone else's post from 2020 using a text app. Reverse image search images that sketchy sellers send you, easy to catch scammers that way. Also use PayPal like previously mentioned.

Yes, but a photo of the item with a name and today's date tells me it's not from another listing. Whether it actually gets shipped is another matter…

mkuff · 03-16-2022, 12:27 PM

same exact thing happened with me!

JSP///M4C · 03-19-2022, 06:23 AM

Same person messaged me about a WTB post I made looking for an M4 Rear bumper cover. Was almost too good to be true and almost fell for it. Same message style and email, name. Don't fall for it. Told me he was in MA.

KJP-M4 · 03-19-2022, 10:03 AM

I had a like experience, wanted my cell # so he could text me some pictures of the items I was looking for. The pictures were from another FS post here in this in this forum. Thanks for keeping this alive..... the email and phone # match the Scammer.
