SCAM ALERT

[scalpel_ninja]

User @fordcappy has likely been hacked and/or is a scammer.

This their current for sale listing.

This is the original post and image sources.

Please be aware there are three more listings for a Surefire U2 Porcupine, McGizmo, and Aviator from the same user in rapid succession. The seller has contacted @experimentjon for payment, asking for Venmo FF. All threads have been locked by the seller and prices are rapidly dropping to likely try to catch a victim.

No way that hds SS was 300 bucks. 😁

I felt I had seen those photos of that rotary before. And at such a low price! Thanks for attention to detail man!

 

[Kid9P]

Damn, I had some serious thoughts about buying that McGizmo. Thank goodness I didn't pull the trigger 😳

 

[experimentjon]

Guys...I was so close to having a stainless rotary at a good price! Too bad the scammer had only 4 friends on Venmo, and payments in the last 2 hours for "North Central Kansas Teens for Christ", "Molly", "Half of Firewood", "Refund <3" (as a charge and not a payment)...

TBH, the red flags and catching it early was better than having to work through PayPal/Venmo's fund recovery over X number of days if I had actually sent as G&S and got scammed.

Stay vigilant out there!

Prove it before you send it. Write your username on a slip of paper with today's date and take a new photo of the light with that piece of paper. Post the photo here.

Unlock your other three listings. If you have nothing to hide, there is no need to lock listings. Post the same timestamp photos with your username and date next to each of those items as well.

I sent this person $315 for the SS HDS.

Not the most expensive life lesson I've had but stings for a Friday afternoon.

sorry to hear that. People suck man. Definitely not cool

Ya that's a 600-700 dollar light got to think stuff through.

That sucks man. Sorry.

 

[RPC]

Eh, on the phone with my bank. Hopefully there's recourse.

Again, at $315 it's a rather inexpensive life lesson. Glad they didn't list it for more because they'd have gotten a couple hundred more out of me.

Honestly can't say I've ever been scammed like this and I have maybe a couple hundred similar B/S/T transactions…

Here's that same McGizmo listing on eBay.

From my research. Definitely a scammer. Looks to be saving images of other listings on eBay. Everything he has for sale was copied images from eBay listings

I could be wrong, who knows. Seems strange. Hopefully we get some clarification

I am not at home right now. Of course I will send it when I get home

If I actually receive this light, I will eat my hat.

 

[fordcappy]

When you receive the shipment, I will expect eat hat video from you.

 

[bigburly912]

You aren't getting your shipment. When I got scammed by Nindabews account the person had actually taken the time to learn a little bit and brought something up that we had talked about. They are clever, everyone needs to put on 2 way authentication. It's aggravating but it helps.

 

[scalpel_ninja]

LOL the seller is deleting posts. Right before my response in #6, they called me crazy and said they sent it already. Now their response to @RPC is they will send it when they get home. So which is it?

Just so nothing will be lost, here's a screen cap of their most recent response.

I've seen @fordcappy 's listings before, English seemed good/fluent. Somehow their grammar became terrible recently. 😂

 

[RPC]

Not implying any responsibility whatsoever, but I've reported several messages plus the posting...

Where are the mods in all of this?
