Hello

I think kelvin has these you can contact him if you’re still interested

[email protected]

The guy tried to get me to pay with Friends and Family. Claims he's in Norway and tells me he will ship with USPS. lol

Yes, I have the same message regards Summing amp. Def something shady

 

[jazzcrisis]

Have dealt with several variations of these. Always "person has what you want. email them here." Always a scam.

I've received this message too from two different scammers from the same WTB thread. Always zero posts. And Jimbo has it here. . . . It's probably some automated program that looks for "WTB" in various forums and generates the fishing scam.

Thank you guys for the information and especially for the warning

I got two of these too, a referral to a non-member with the item I'm looking for. A few slip-ups indicating English not primary language. The "referrer" just joined the forum hours prior, with no posts. I said "how kind of you to take the time to join a forum to point me to a seller" they never reply. nichole20 and I forgot the other one

I had the same 2 days ago. The interesting thing is there was no BM thread in the last few days selling the item I was looking for. See below for the PM I recieved.


"ukuleland started a new conversation with you at GroupDIY Audio Forum.

You must have missed the post of born2fizh that posted about Hammond 835 transformer for sale some days ago.. I asked about it and he said it's still available with him.. Here's his email [email protected]"

 

[f.aiseur]

I had exactly the same ukuleland message, didnt know, but still messaged the mail..
The guy then sent me 3 different pictures, shady, always off from what i was looking for, until i wrote « i dont really trust you because bla bla bla.. » and he stopped answering

Yes, it's hard to regulate this pm-based fraud

We paint new-member user names in red to warn you to be aware
