Clarky72 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 (edited) Anyone here heard from a user who joined yesterday called GEARMANS? They mailed me saying they had what I was looking for from my wanted post. Asked for me to email them. All sounds very sketchy. See below. "[color=#282828]if still interested in buying please write me here [email protected][/color] [color=#282828]or send me your email for pic and details thanks"[/color][list] [*][url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?app=members&module=messaging§ion=send&do=replyForm&topicID=469819&msgID=1396362"]Reply[/url] [/list] Edited February 18, 2017 by Clarky72 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky72 Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 I thought so. I mailed them for sh*ts and giggles, he/she sent me an equally badly worded mail back with a pic of a different amp that he wants to sell me... Please send me all your money in return for nothing. Oh ok, hold me back... LOL "[font=Helvetica][size=3]Thanks for your mail...i have attached a pic of My items as you can[/size][/font] see everything is perfectly okay and No dust or rust well clean...i will like to know your offer incl the shipping and insurance to your doorstep with your delivery home address and Phone Number,i will used DHL for the delivery to your doorstep,My Mode of Payment is Via bank Transfer thanks and Hope to hear from you soon" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 His membership must be some sort of record. Joined yesterday - probably banned by the end of today http://basschat.co.uk/user/42336-gearmans/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bay Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I am a mod on a motoring forum and this is becoming scarily common, join one minute then instantly post 'what's this worth, I think it's worth £x' with x being half the real value, then wait for people to pm them thinking they are getting a bargain and instead they get scammed, or as in here replying to wanted ads in a similar manner. Some weeks we have stopped 20-30, so at least it seems the music forums aren't as badly hit for the moment and long may that continue.

Paul S Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I had exactly the same one, too, in answer to a wanted post of mine. A recycled picture from several years ago and the exact same wording. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mateusz Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 roman andrea is associated with the account [email protected]. supposedly sends the goods and can not prove an evidence of shipping. It is a German citizen living in spain. I paid him the entire amount for the goods and he first wanted 100 euros and 200 euros now even claiming that there are problems with shipping. he cheated me. got money and charges not gotten. Tomorrow I will be reported to the international law enforcement crime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ambient Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Is it not possible to make the items wanted section invisible until after a member has made a certain number of postings ? Disappointing to see people making stupid jokes when someone is trying to scam people, and has succeeded at least once by the looks of it.
