Very questionable attempted buying behavior. Just saying.
he joined yesterday…
i’ve been noticing this trend a lot lately within the classified’s.
It is really unfortunate, because *everyone *becomes suspect. Even those that are legit.
I no. It frustratin. Just last wek me were trying to buy sometin like a bike that me dad always want & I promise I buy for him. He always want exact one for sale. I promise seller he just had cash the check I send, wire me the extra money, and let me Laotian agent pick up from him cause I been in Guatemala for last 15 months taking care of me Nigerian prince cousins estate affair. He die & leave me lots money so govermet cant get it. I even insist on payin full price and the seller still suspect the problems. I mean come on guys, I been a ST forum person for 76 minutes now, so sure that should get me some person who belive what me say.
tough to validate people

What did he do?
It was all very subtle, but made me highly suspicious
- Offered to pay for shipping (when I had said I would include), but wanted to know my return address in order to create shipping label
- Wanted my Paypal info, i.e., email addy
- Did not respond to emails after I had invoiced his stated email
- Did not respond until AFTER a given deadline for purchase, then changed emails
- Continues to send emails asking me if I have sent info
Enough for me. Shame on me for not checking out length of time he had been in ST.

Too much work. I don’t go beyond the “What’s your paypal?”…(I send paypal)…“Payment Sent” method. Although I’ve had some buyers ask for my phone number for some reason.

When shipping with FedEx the form asks for a phone number for the recipient in case they need to call for some reason. I typically just put in 999-999-9999, some people may not know that is an option.

i happened to notice that he had also posted simultaneously on multiple ads for wheels making offers and saying he had cash ready. i guess that could be a normal person, but it just struck me as a little odd, since you shouldn’t really make multiple bids at once to different sellers.
