Lesson learnt, I am not buying anything from anybody who isn't an established user known to me at least by reputation through involvement in the forum

Yea. I started looking a bit deeper after I saw that the account was created a week or less ago. That’s when the pics came and it was definitely noticeable.

POS scammers are what makes us all look like scammers. Smh

Bro. You probably shouldn’t put your email address on here.

just a suggestion but perhaps we should make it mandatory (if it isn't already.....) for any response to a WTB to be a reserved sale post . The catch being that the "seller" must still meet the criteria for posting a sale. While I am at it, thinking out loud, why not limit sales to supporters or patrons only - that way, when combined with the need to list a reserved sale in response to a WTB, no fucking scammer is going to do a quick grab and run as long as buyers play by the rules.

Hello, I had the same exact experience but on another forum, a user PMed me in response to a WTB post asking to get in touch with his buddy via email, the buddy kept insisting on f&f, guess I lucked out as the pics he sent me were from a website I had looked up and could recognize. Yikes...so this is scam across multiple forums :(

We won't make a sticky asking people to exerce common sense, this would be a very sad time even if we are close to it unfortunately.

A lot of scams flourish on people being lazy and not doing their due diligence before sparing with their hard earned money. Even if I'm about to spend $20 online, I'll always do some research on the seller whether it's a private one or a website.

It shouldn't even have to be said that if someone that just joined contact you and has exactly what you are looking for, there's already something fishy here. Pretty much all the rep actors are already members on RWI or are known from other forums. There's little to no chance that a fresh member could be the one with the exact rare piece your a looking for, at best this would indicate that this guy is probably not new to the game and probably a banned member trying to sneak up.

This is not a dig at OP or anyone, mistakes do happen.

I’m pretty sure it is in the rules on RWI but on other forums, not so much. This is why I always prefer selling/buying on here rather than other forums.

Mods and members look out for each other here. The others have members who look out for each other but they don’t need approval from mods to sell or anything like that. They just post a sales thread and whatever happens, happens.

Any WTB thread should be followed up with a reserved sale post. Otherwise, there really isn’t much the mods can do because the sale was not within the rules.

Being a F&F payment, fucking PayPal won't do anything about it undoubtedly.

And that is why if you pay F&F you fund it with your credit card not from PP balance. PP may not do anything but your bank will.

Mate we are not your mum, we provide a safe(er) environment in which to sell, if people want to do so outside of that it's their problem not ours. We can't hand hold members, people need to take responsibility for their own actions.

You should try to talk to your bank and PayPal. Sometimes they will help you out. Even if you paid F&F. Just talk to them and let them know what happened. Someone was selling a watch part you needed but he said to pay F&F but you didn’t realize what that meant or whatever.

PP and your bank will usually be on your side and PP has done this for many in the past. Hell, that’s why a lot of folks will not accept PP in any way. Even friends and family can get charge back.

This guy definitely deserves to get reported and a hell of a lot more. Tried to scam what seems like multiple people at once. Trying that old, I’ll scam a bunch of people and ghost.

That’s the email address he gave me to reach out to as well. But never got the PayPal info. I figured out his BS as soon as I saw the pictures.

Good luck man. I hope you can get some of your funds back.

I’m sure trying to subvert the rules to essentially avoid fees probably puts him in less of a situation with something to do. I’m like 100% sure PayPal and the banks would say “there is a reason goods and services with its nominal fee and buyer protection is there”.

Sadly.

And that is why there is the below pinned to the top of the WTB section:


Of course members should post their WTB's & from time to time you may get lucky as a result. I have on one occasion, but many others have been the result of quick fingers on M2M and friends.

ALWAYS exercise caution & report anything that looks dodgy or anyone attempting to take the sale outside the confines of the M2M area.

These types of members don't deserve to be here.
