Help with scammer

[davidVT]

Hello

Unfortunately, I found your good guide on “how to spot scammers” too late and was taken by the response to a classified ad I posted as a “WTB”

Your advice was spot on, but unfortunately, for me, too late.

I am hoping you might be able to help me. I have started disputes with paypal, my credit card company, and law enforcement, but as the scam started with a posting I made in the C7 classifieds looking for roof racks, was hoping you might be able to help provide a clue to the real identify of the Audizine user whom started me on this path.

The user name is GredJake. Supposedly from LA and joining 9/16. Had several posts that seemed legit on various issues.

I have no idea if this person is part of it, but this is where it started, and he is no longer responding to PMs requesting assistance. As this point all email addresses I have have gone dark

Please review my posts, and I assume you can read the PMs from him to me as well

Any help you provide will be turned over to law enforcement and my financial institution.

Thank you in advance

Please report any PMs or posts to help us get started

Always, always ask for a picture of the for-sale item with a HANDWRITTEN note with the date and their username. If they can't provide, RUN!!
This is a rule for any for sale item on other forums I'm on.

A very good rule IMHO!

Here is the PM that started the scam Seems to be having difficulty grappling and posting the screenshot. Hope this works

Anyone who asks you to communicate outside the app via any email address is a scammer. I got took for $1300 like this a couple of months ago.
