Feedback Beware SCAMMER user \"johngrips\"

Sorry to hear about your misfortune. I have passed up deals in the past due to the seller being questionable or not a familiar name in the community...I think members should be WELL established prior to being allowed to sell items here, and by WELL established I mean, well..WELL...WELL

Fraudster are everywhere, they are terrible people. Sorry they got you, hopefully you will get satisfaction. 

Hopefully you didn’t send PayPal Friends and Family?

I did.... Why what is the reason?

by sending it F&F you have no recourse. by adding fees "for goods and services" you are protected. and for 6-7 dollars. well worth the cost. 3-3.5% of every $100

I tracked that number to a landline in Texas but that guy is real smart to pick a name that THOUSANDS also share and that search I paid for came up empty aside from stating It was a landline so it's a start for you and no history on record about that email account so it must be a new one so not even the MAFIA can help. What is this AGN user's name-handle?

BTW that trial search RIPPED ME OFF too! That was a $1.00 trial and I'm running on prepaid debit cards now since my CC can no longer be used and that took the last of the couple bucks I had when I went to McDonald's right after just to use the rest up it was DECLINED so I paid cash for my food. These prepaid debit cards can't be refilled so no disputing and SOL. Use a CC that you can dispute the charge if you get ripped off when paying for lookup information as reverse phone number that YOU NEED TO DO. If you DON'T successfully find that guy then dispute that charge. It's that simple you paid for a service for detailed information that you didn't get.

Go ahead and post all of the pictures this scammer sent you and maybe someone can recognize them on another solicitation and possibly the background scenery too it may help and worth it to post. Someone else may have his real name and email. Get in contact with Rustyshakelford(spelling?) Member here compare phone numbers and pictures because that Gauntlet sounds awfully familiar and that story is just another deja vu and find it easy pickings here. 

I got a similar message from a member richardtx asking me to reach out to an person/email ID in Texas for a scope. When I tried viewing the profile of richardtx, I am unable to find him. Looks like a scam. Screenshots attached.








 

Is it possible to set up a fake PayPal account under a new name that's different than your own I.D. ?

I got this PM today from this scamming POS this morning, from a WTB listing a couple months old.

The bogus account lists Vegas as where he lives, but who the heck knows what information is real.

Please if anyone can find out he lives in Vegas Please let me know.

Another identical response from richardtx yesterday.

Yes. If you use a business name it will let you go for a while but linking to a Bank account leaves a trail, and walmart prepay wont work for deposits. 

Thanks Val that is good to know and wondering if a fake first and last name can be temporarily used as well? 

OP- PLEASE post ALL PICTURES and messages the scammer sent you!

I had the same Pathetic Scumbag try the same with me. I responded back with if not on AGN I wasn't interested and never heard back!

MAYBE ITS GOOD OL JOHNNY SANCHEZ IN DISGUISE? I WOULDNT PUT IT PAST HIM BASED ON ALL THE COUNTLESS PEOPLE HE SCAMMED OVER THE YEARS THIS GUY WILL NEVER EVER EVER (TAYLOR SWIFT STYLE) QUIT SCAMMING INNOCENT HARD WORKING AIRGUNNERS AND HE SEES ALL OF THE EASY PICKINGS HERE AT AGN.
