Dutch Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 (edited) I have a "Looking For" request for Revell #04032 HH-53C Super Jolly kit. New user Jackson (since 28 Oct) sends me a PM telling me to text his phone. then disables the messenger before I can respond. Here is a screen grab of our comms. I checked his profile and he has one post, rather cryptic about requesting any hard to find kits. Caveat Emptor!

Dutch Posted November 4, 2022 Author Share Posted November 4, 2022 (edited) Update - I just rechecked his profile and now his previous post has been deleted and does not show. So I conclude that he is displaying suspect behavior and is a probable BAD actor! Edited November 4, 2022 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cbk57 Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 (edited) He tried to hit me as well, messaged me that he wanted to sell me parts I requested on the buy sell trade board. So I relied without thinking and got a email from someone with a gmail address that did not seem to match the name, so I looked at this forum and pulled out of the transaction. Unfortunately before I caught on I texted with him, gave him my address and my email, as I was at the level with the transaction of making payment and sent him my email to send a paypal invoice then he asked me to use cash app and I noticed the email account he provided did not look like it corresponded with name on the account. So I cancelled the deal. While new to this forum I have been around the hobby a long time, just my regular forum has been LSP. Edited November 4, 2022 by Cbk57 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flanker27 Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 same thing happened to me as well, offer me a Moebius viper that I posted earlier looking for it for cheap. sounds fishy and he asked me to text him as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

B-17 guy Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 (edited) Same guy messaged me. It was suspicious right away to me when he put a phone number for faster response. Hard pass. Edited November 11, 2022 by B-17 guy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was suspicious right away to me when he put a phone number for faster response. Hard pass. Ditto. His message seemed odd, so I passed on what he had to offer, figuring it was a scam. I figured it was either that or this guy has the best stash of hard to find, out of production items out there. Edited November 17, 2022 by okthree Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cbk57 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Just watch I am going to mess with this bugger. You will know it when you see it just watch the buy sell post. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted November 28, 2022 Author Share Posted November 28, 2022 (edited) @Cbk57, I saw your post. So far no bites, eh? I was tempted to add my $.02 worth, but thought it better to let it stand. No need to borrow trouble. Thanks for the support. Kind regards, Dutch Edited November 28, 2022 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cbk57 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 I got a new rely from a yughh76 for my fake parts. Told me someone had posted a sale for a winged oil pan a few days ago and tried to get me to email him, I told him to piss off and get off our forum, that we are coming after him. MIght need someone else to create a fake post to ferret out the next one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
