bluey6600 Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) He approached me via PM when I put up a wanted add for a scope using the same details - as I work in online fraud I had no intention of responding but in hindsight I should have informed moderators to get him investigated/blocked. Report the fraud to Action Fraud so that they are aware Edited May 14, 2020 by bluey6600 more info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parabellum Posted May 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 Forget referrals to emails outside the forum. Clearly the wanted section is targeted. I am now looking back and found another suspicious referral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan1968 Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 I have also been approached by this person who told me to reach out to a guy name Steven Philips from Cornwall, when I contacted him he got an Indian lady to call me who he said was his secretary. Fortunately I smelt a rat and I did report the messages. I hope you get these scum bags and get your money back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooter83 Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 Each time I put out a wanted add here I had some one pm. Me with "reach out to so and so in Chicago" obviously I didn't as I assumed it was a scam. Any way, who says "reach out" here. First clue it is a scam IMO.

Eric the Red Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 It's worth contacting Monzo Fraud with the details - they may tie it up with something else and you might get lucky...… nothing ventured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brown dog Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 Can all posts on this please start putting a date to what's being reported - we've made a few tweaks, and undated reports give the misleading impression that this is still happening, and happening as a simultaneous-event tsunami, whereas these are spread out over a few months and the individual is being picked off each time, but reappearing in a new guise - ie most egs in thread are 'a while back'. Dates with info please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villadave59 Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 Very sorry to hear about you being scammed by this vermin,This is an obvious pattern on the wanted section ,not sure how you can stamp it out, i had similar experience with the "reach out to Gary ploy"when I put wanted ad for tenabraex scope covers, the price offered was pitched at around 25% cheaper than retail so they'd done some research what stopped me was the third party referral ,just didn't smell right,I pm,d admin but not sure what they can do I think perhaps only deal with established members only which is a real shame ,good luck with police hope they track them 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
