I figure it's a good time to bump this thread again. I have had 3 scammer situations this morning (with other members). The last one asked our member for a Whatsapp number. If anyone does that, I would tell them to F off. No good comes from that while doing a card deal. Everyone should be careful. Even if someone gives a good User ID they can be faking it and be someone else. Someone posed as Scott B (sb1) one time. I laughed when he said his name was something other than Scott......

Not sure if this is the "correct" way to do this, but please add this idiot any kind of banned list we got going......

niabirk74

Contacted me regarding a post I had under 50-59 WTB regarding 1959 Homerun Derby cards. Definitely a scammer. I worked in corporate IT for over 20 years, lol.

Just a friendly FYI otherwise........thanks!

If I really want to draw out the scammers for an entertaining back-and-forth, maybe I’ll post a WTB ‘54 Topps Mantle or something similar.

davidbassett003 is on the phone. He wants to sell me a Verne Clemons card for $15.00. Should I pull the trigger? He wants to use paypal. Pretty good deal for a V61 SGC 60.

He got a hold of me today as well. Sending him $42k in cash in the mail as my preferred method of payment.

I had a simple payment option COD, and I just asked him to coin the card picture.

I second this.

He emailed me yesterday, I found it sketchy so I reached out to Leon and found out that he has been banned. I will stay away from his guy. He is actively trolling our BST.

Heads up all

Look to your right. It's right there for everyone to see for all members. Has been there from day 1.

That is the immediate way(98% of the time) to know it's a scammer.

And I am getting an average of 2-3 scammer ban requests a day..BE CAREFUL ON THE BST.

Leon, are they IP bans or are these scammers using VPN? I ask because the same exact pm was sent under different user names, but had the exact same card for sale, and had the exact same message attached.

Most times I just ban the user name. A few more steps and I can do a wildcard ban on their IP address, which I think I will start doing on every one, not just sporadically.

All of them that I've encountered so far have had that days join date, and zero posts. Not one has hit my post on bst with a post of what they had to offer up for sale just sent pm asking if interested, and to give them my offer. I offered $15.00 on a card worth much more and they took the offer, and wanted to use paypal. Not real hard of a nut to crack. I'm sure paypal would have been f&f at best.

Times must even tough for scammers when they are looking to beat someone out of $15.

Longtime members, who post often, are still getting scammed. There are multiple instances of trolls every day.
And it's by trolls that have no, or almost no posts, and have supposedly recently registered.

I am not sure how I can put this more plainly. VET YOUR TRADING PARTNER OR BE SCAMMED

Are the PMs that come through the Net54 messaging system unaffected by this?

In other words, if I get a PM from you, it's really from you, correct?

From what I've read, the scammers have been doing this via email.

If you get a PM it will have a user ID, Always. Check that I'd..

So yes, the PM you get from me will have my id...and so forth. I don't know of any hijacked ids....but I know the scammers Have given a good I'd. But then the name or board I'd doesn't check out. Always ask for a net54 user I'd
, then check it. It's foolproof if cross referenced with me.
