Possible Scam

[Ohead]

Hello Everyone,
Was looking to buy some crème fatcats and I got a message from user finn_69 he had a pair for $140 and to send money PayPal F&F. Even sent me a couple of pictures also. But then I found the pictures on the web that linked to a Brazilian website. He said he was in the US. Has not replied since. Did not have a post here since May which is what made me suspicious but he said he was out of town working on a project but had just sold some radar EV pink splatter to @mensma just yesterday. Below is the location where pictures were copies from. Posting just in case. I could be wrong but he hasn’t replied since.

You handled it great, proceed with caution if you change your mind!

good catch! I never pay via F&F unless i've dealt with the seller before and they have a good reputation on OF

Accusing a Member of fraud is very serious. Your story better pans out.

I sent him sample pictures of what he was looking to buy so he misinterpreted it as an actual picture. It was just a misunderstanding and we have resolved it.

He has agreed to pull down the post.

Thank you @TheStig

This is far from over.

Sometimes you win some, sometimes you lose some. This guy seems okay to me so I took the chance. Quick replies, so I guess it’ll be fine. Otherwise I’ll be crying for a day in a corner and see if I can restore my hope in humanity.

@Finn_69 The easiest way to solve this is if write a note with your username and today's date and place the note in front of what you want to sell and take some real pictures of it.
