Default Scam Alert

I got taken for $600 for a 1971 Munson Milk Duds Box PSA 7

cert # 28926527

They are using this card to scam posters

using name Jefferson Harper , Candace Ridlehoover <candacecanchridleho39510@gmail.com>

here are some of the messages

this promise will not be broken this time.
You will not regret it.
Send me a 100 and I will send your 500 immediately.

I realized you didn't believe me on the card anymore.
And I want to prove to you that I'm not on here to scam people.

I want a 100 to be my gain despite all the sourness is this transaction.
That's why I'm asking for a 100 now so I can send you your 500 right away so we can both move on

With all due respect, I'm sorry you got taken, but how do you read any of those messages and NOT immediately see it's a scam??? The 'author' obviously doesn't speak English and they look like they were copied and pasted from one of the countless 'Nigerian Prince' scam e-mails that fill everybody's spam folders.

Yes. Sorry this happened. But why would they need another $100.00 to send back your $500.00? They should have just sent you $400.00.

Sorry this happened. I am not sure what to say but that will unfortunately be a lesson learned. Those messages are way over the top on Scam Radar. And whomever it was didn't have very many, or any posts, and registered very recently. (I am just guessing) And in reality they didn't register they just signed up and found a crack in the software. We have been talking about this for months on the front page. Once again, sorry it happened. That sucks.

Wait, you started multiple threads when this person ripped you off last time. They come back and ask for $100 to send your original $500 back and you sent it?

Are you really that gullible?

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

I am not going to comment on this specific situation, but I joined this Forum last month and have already had 4 scam attempts……I posted about the most recent just the other day when a registered member sent me an offer for a card he had for sale with different PSA numbers on the back and front of the case….

Be careful folks….and always remember…..there is always another in this hobby that you will want for your collection…

I hate to be that guy but holy BLEEB is that funny. I wonder if he knows I can get his $600 back if he sends me $200.
