Ben-Erik Ness Posted June 27, 2024 Share Posted June 27, 2024 WANTED!

Ben-Erik Ness Posted August 19, 2024 Author Share Posted August 19, 2024 Damn it I have been scammed 🤑 I was contacted in a PM by the user ruimarinho and he/she told me a Gordon Roberts had a wing panel matching the one I searched for, giving me his email [email protected] for me to contact him. Well, I was so happy I got reckless, and PayPalled the money as family and friends, since that was one of his contitions. At this point I should have pulled the plug... So that was 180 USD up in smoke. Any body know any of these skumbags? Posts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murat Kece 1 Posted August 19, 2024 Share Posted August 19, 2024 I lost GBP20 to him too. He is responding to the WANTED ads and running this scam.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murat Kece 1 Posted August 19, 2024 Share Posted August 19, 2024 Avoid using someone else's PAYPAL offered by the person for payments and check the history of the users . They are generally very new accounts! Do not send money as Friends/Family then you loose the PAYPAL protection too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have traded with modellers all over the world, never had a problem... Lesson learnt - the hard way! I will however contact admins and try to get him banned from this site! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
