Have you received this item? If you paid by check, what address did you send the check to?

 

[Dthomas3523]

Anyone who has sent funds to this member, do what ever you can to get your funds back.

I have been provided with at least three different addresses members have sent checks to. And the IP is not coming back to the U.S.

Just a fwiw but he was asking me for info about a tremor 3 reticle and didn’t come across as a scammer.

Maybe someone stole his log in or ??? Hope not a scammer

 

[TacticalBucket]

I was approached by this member in PMs about selling me a c599 NF NX8 and after I asked for photos with proof of life (member ID'd timestamp) he himmed and hawed and then told me he was going to sell the scope to his brother. He seemed genuine but thought it was strange I never received those photos as the initial photos sent were immediate.

SCAMMER. 1700$ on a Leupold. Trying to pull back on PayPal business but never done it before.

sent a photo of a clearly doctored drivers license

You call the number he texts from it’s google voice not a phone. A middle eastern accent answered. I asked for Ibrahim (not john). The young guy said he’d be home soon and would be happy to get him to call me back.

I hope these pieces of shit get fucked to death with a cactus.

 

[LongTatLaw]

He was “selling me” a Leupold mark 5 with illuminated tremor 3

I think the conversation above was him doing the research to answer my questions

I was also one of the unfortunate ones and am out $1800. I’ve been thinking though, this is a very long term, widespread play, with a lot of individuals involved on the scammer side. Seems like a lot of work to go through for $10-15k. Got me thinking that there might be a secondary plot here. I’d recommend everyone who exchanged info with these assholes lock their credit up for a bit and keep an eye out for identity fraud.

 

[Edgecrusher]

They have to have an American (or somebody that grew up here) as their primary communicator. It is not easy to tell this is a foreign operation. There was a misspelling here and there, but I misspell things form time to time. The only thing that jumped out at me was the majority of this users posts were all from this month, even though the join date was over a year ago.

From now on, if I can't get somebody else on the Hide to vet the seller, I'm not pulling the trigger. Fool me once, shame on you...

 

[deersniper]

We should send people to give them a painful death.

I would donate a lot of money to that

 

[TINMAN347]

Yep, I sent him $1320. Sometimes things really are too good to be true....

This is the name and address I was told to send the MO too.

Kenneth Feurt

Did you send tracking with it ?

 

[TINMAN347]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but you can’t put a stop payment USPS money orders?? And ideas on how to get my money back?

 

[TINMAN347]

Yes I did.

That's the name and address I got too. I sent USPS money orders certified, so I know somebody there had to physically sign for the letter.

Honestly, I think we're screwed.

 

[deersniper]

See when you guys send tracking the shithole people that are prolly on welfare can wait around at that address and intercept the mail man.

So totally plausible an innocent third party lives at that address

 

[deersniper]

When they ask for MO plus tracking is a HUGE red flag for me

I got a failure to deliver notice, so they probably picked up the little note on the door before the people got home and went to the PO to pickup the envelope.

Maybe I should have been more vigilant but I honestly didn't see that coming. I've bought and sold on here in years past and this guy, whoever it was knows how we do business and exactly what to say. This wasn't the Nigerian prince speaking. I'm not going to lose any sleep over this. That sorry faggot got all he's going to get from me. That old wheel will roll around again.

 

[TINMAN347]

It’s my fault, I used to be extremely careful. But I’ve never had any issues on this site so I got lax.

 

[deersniper]

Yeah not blaming you guys for what happened. The scammers are getting smarter.

If I was king theft would be a death penalty offense.

There is much worse that is happening right now to others in this country, so I’ll look at the silver lining. But this has probably ruined the exchange section for me.

 

[Yellowhammer]

Wow, as much buying/selling/trading scopes I've done lately I'm lucky I didn't get stung too. I usually think of SH as one of the better places to buy/sell.

 

[TINMAN347]

I have the date and time he signed for it at the post office in Indiana....think they would be able to pull the footage and figure out who this guy is?

Did you send with tracking as well? If so did you get the same failure to deliver notice?

I think this is a case of a regular member that got hacked

 

[LongTatLaw]

The two addresses I got were Illinois on the ID card and that same one you guys got.
But another guy sent a check to a girl in Kentucky who cashed them and cash ap’d it to an orphanage .

Similar incident happened to me today after I posted two wtb posts last night , a non member contacted me here saying to have each item for sale , there was no pms they had been deleted by the morning but I have the settings to send to my email and I emailed him . I didn't think nothing of it until I recognized one of the items on ebay and that seller was in Ohio and this guy claimed to be in Baltimore. When i asked about he said dont worry send me the money cash app you'll get the items. I did not send any money because I do not have the app but he sent a girls name to send Zelle . I didn't have a good gut feeling so I didn't go through with it. Then I read this thread later today holy chit .
