Sucks. I hate a thief
Looks like I received another scam PM on this site. The MO is familiar and only 4 posts. They registered on the same day I told the scammer I'd pass.I must have "Sucker" written on my forehead now.
Some unknown person to me, also not a member of this forum, asks if I want to buy a headspace gauge from them.
"OK, send me a pic taken today, with your hand on it".
Silence. Crickets.
Yup, gave that one the Pink Mist award too. He was one that was a red flag to me on the day he registered, and was one who ignored my inquiry.Looks like I received another scam PM on this site. The MO is familiar and only 4 posts. They registered on the same day I told the scammer I'd pass.
It's not easy to avoid scammers in this day and age. Thanks for the heads up!He is now banned I see. Well, Good.
He sent me to a "friend" email address, saying the friend had a tool for sale that would interest me.
No tool, but he got my money. I am wiser and smarter today.
Many warning flags, and I ignored all of them.
Pushing to use PayPal "friends and family".
Email address to send money not yet same as the conversation email.
Pushing hard to close the deal.
I wanted to believe, and it cost me smallish. Oh well, I live and learn.
