Default Be Careful of Scammer!!!!

I posted a part that I wanted to buy. I was contacted by way of a private message by "member 21212" claiming to have the radio that I wanted to buy. "Member 21212" provided his email address for "faster response." I contacted him by the email address provided. He provided the cost and assured me that everything works fine.

"Member 21212" even provided a seven (7) day return if anything on the radio didn't work properly. He asked where I live and, almost immediately, provided the price with shipping included. Payment by PayPal. I also asked for his phone number, which was provided just as quickly.

I am involved in criminal defense. I would love to have one of my clients spend a few minutes with "member 21212." I sent another email with another question. No response. I followed with another email, no response. I called the number provided and I received an out of service message.
The "Member ID Number is 21212." Name provided "Ed Carl." Email address: dogink411@gmail.com. Phone number 301-756-4474.

I reported this to our administrators and they were immediately responsive to my concern. I appreciate their concern and understanding.
Please beware!!!
Thank you!!

I second this. He responded to my WTB 964 ad with a very suspicious reply. I ignored it.

Our administrators should consider implementing a Buyers/Sellers Feedback Section in a common area. This may help minimize these situations from occurring in the future. My post was in the 993 section of this site. Thank you.

Please read my post tonight, Tuesday, August 21, 2018, in our new "Classified Sub Forum for Buyer/Seller Feedback."

Please let our administrators know whether or not you feel the new forum should be expanded as described in my post in our new forum.

Thank you!!!
