This new member said he'd sell me a Ranger Tech case, for a good price shipped. I sent the money to him on Cash App, then he said he needed more because he felt it was worth more. I then told him just to send me the money back, and he refuses to do so. It was only $15.00 shipped but he requested more after I sent the money, but it's the principle. His name on here is @mattburns8979, but on emails it's John Colburn (johncolburn42@gmail.com).
The gut is a scammer. These guys are popping up everywhere replying bst want ads. Usually they asking u to email someone else. I find that crooks and scammers use cashapp. He only joined to do this. I reported him this morning but I dont know if any of the admins did anything.
I also reported him from a message he sent me on here. luckily I didn't send a lot of money because at first he wanted to sell me the razor with the case, which I don't need.
When he said he needed more $ because he thought it was worth more, I'd have said "Well, why dincha say that in the first place, BUDDEH?" and hung up.
It's Tapatlk's fault. These scammers aren't allowed to send PMs if they were using the forum directly. This one was banned as soon as the first report came in. They all get banned within a day of being reported.
@jimjo1031, sorry to hear you got ripped off, but thanks for the heads up! If Tapatalk allows the scammers to send PMs and circumvent forum safeguards, then why not disable Tapatalk? An added benefit would be that it would also get rid of the annoying Tapatalk popups when first accessing the forum.
I kind of agree. But Tapatalks main benefit to upload images of any size helps out some members. Of course, large images could be feasible on here without Tapatalk if made to do so with an alternative. But couldn't a new member just PM a member if he sees he has something on WTB in the classifieds.
PMs can be sent after one post, I believe. Sparky set it up and it's been years, so I'm not 100% on that.
The only reason i use tapatalk is to post photos. The low mb restriction prevent me from posing photos. Our new phones dont do that low of a file anymore i got another pm from a new member today responding to my wtb ad. He was booted before i could respond.
I’m sorry to read of this especially here but I feel I must defend Tapatalk as it’s my only way into this wonderful forum. I have no PC and use my old iPhone so if I’m to post a SotD picture, Tapatalk is the only way for me to do so. However, what’s best for the forum and its members must come first. Best, Graeme Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
