icastle Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 Folks, If anyone gets a message like the ones mentioned here, please hit the report button straight away. BassChat never has been, and never will be, a welcome haven for fraudsters and scumbags and we will kill such accounts without hesitation. Quote
NoirBass Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) Hmmm, I've just been contacted by him too with regards to him selling me an amp. How do I let the mods know? Edit - now reported. Edited July 11, 2016 by NoirBass Quote

Also im sure i read somewhere they can use the IP address to help Identify him, for possable prosecution if someone was to persue it, Also they would have an account of all his/her emails so im guessing can also contact all the people he has conned thats if he is dumb enough to use his own home IP address !

Clarky72 Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 Its the same guy that tried to scam me yesterday! The dick sent me two pics of a bass he 'owned', one fretted and one fretless! Quote
ped Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 All sorted now, thanks guys. BC isn't a safe place for scammers! Quote
adamg67 Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 Same thing with an SRC6, easy enough to spot, he sent me a link to another user's feedback thread so I double checked but was already pretty sure. Looks like it's all sorted now, for that user anyway. Quote

mingsta Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 Well done mate for reporting. This marions responded to a wanted post that I put up yesterday, but fortunately I was already sorted. Just shows that you can't let your guard down even on basschat as there's alwaysthe chance of scammers from outside the community. Quote
albinokiller Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 I am REAL Mario Salopek and this Marions uses my name and basschat username...and why me...why not someone elses name...stupid scamers... Quote
