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.

Holy sh*t, they stole your money so you sent them more? Is this for real? C'mon

Okay, this is purely conjecture on my part, but does anyone know if "Mrmiamih" is actually the Hausan or Yoruban word for "Prince"?

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

And now he's banned. Apparently "Mrmiamih" does mean "Nigerian Prince."

One time Homer Simpson bought a bucket of old meat because it was on sale cheap. It made him really sick, so he went back to the store to demand a refund. The store owner instead offered him TWO buckets of old meat, which Homer thought was great.

But they made him sick too.

Have also posted a WTB and received a scam right away. New poster and an obvious lack of understanding of what I was looking for resulted in no response from me.

I have been scammed in the past but not from here. Was nothing expensive.

Many of my favorite cards have been purchased from the boards and a significant part of my collection is through people I have gotten to know through the forums.

Be careful, get references and avoid PP F&F unless you really trust the reputation and even then it may not be worth it not to go G&S. I have purchased from several of you on here without incident.

The boards are a great place to add to your collection - but do your homework.

I really feel left out. I never had a scammer contact me for anything. Do I have body odor that they leave me alone? Maybe I will post a want to buy 1952 Mantle and see if a scammer contacts me.

Default Get Smart
There was a scene in Get Smart.
Smart knocked the gun out of the bad guys hand. The bad guy was like a mad scientist - Dr. Frankenstein type. The gun fell into the pit of boiling oil. The bad guy's assistant (like an Igor type) said I'll get, and jumped in the boiling oil.
The Mad scientist said "good help is so hard to find"
I always loved that show.
