Buyers Beware
BUYERS BEWARE. Sunday evening I made a terrible mistake. I was about to buy a radio from a forum member . So i left a message on the forum thinking I was sending it as a private message with my information including my phone number. This morning (Monday) I get a text message about the radio and I presumed it was the seller. So i gave him my address so he can figure out shipping and discussed payment options. So I proceeded to set up the transaction on a cash app website which didn't go through due to issues with the person information entered on the website .Then he decided to give me his wife account info and being this was a amount higher than allowed for1st time transaction with this person another delay had occurred. Now the seller (I thought was the seller) started to press me a little saying call your bank to clear the transaction and send him the debit information . I was about to call the bank to confirm the transaction.
Than at that very moment I get a text message from the real seller of the radio to discuss shipping and price. I text the real seller to standby for 10 minutes and I called my bank to cancel the transaction I was making wih the fake seller.
I was really lucky this time that i didn't get taken.
So the scammer is apparently just looks at the forums and finds victims. To help from having this happen again here is their information they used to pull this off or maybe he's a former member. He never disclosed his full name so i dont know
Phone number used : 234-283-3451 ( Ohio area and he said he'd ship from Ohio)
Zelle Acct information: justinaj36@icloud.com
Zelle acct information: tatummya35@gmail.com Amaija A Tatum ( he states its his wife acct)
This mistake was totally my fault as I have 3 different projects going and i was definitely distracted .
Be careful....
