A lot of forums make people write their username and date on a piece of paper next to the item they are picturing in order to post an item for sale. This verifies they have it and it's not an old picture. Won't stop all scammers but hinders anyone trying to selling something they don't have by stealing someone else's pictures.

Never buy from a person with no history. I have been burned by selling parts to people off ebay and they said it never arrived.
no more, I dont buy or sell with any virtual money. Cash only.

@Kev666 Just to let you know brother, I’ve contacted your local PD in Easton, MD., and the FBI Anti-Fraud Commission. Be expecting a VERY unfortunate knock on your door!!!
If the dude scammed you, how are you so sure he lives in Easton MD? Just curious but would seem unlikely a scammer is going to easily give up his real location...

I bought some Ford F-150 towing mirrors off a forum from a dude I'd never met in Alaska. $900 with shipping, that was a leap of faith. But it was via PayPal and the dude had a long history on the F-150 forum so I took a chance. I actually got them, well packed, and they work great. But in hindsight I really questioned my sanity at the time for doing that :)

You don’t think he is foreign and giving a fake address?

OP looking at his profile, he seems to be based out of the UK. It might be worthwhile to send a copy of your FBI complaint to the NCA in the UK (https://www.nationalcrimeagency.gov.uk/)

Pretty sure a big dude name Bubba will love to put some lipstick on him and use Kev for a night in a British Prison.
It’s funny about these overseas scams I got caught up in a Nigerian one a few years back. I don’t loose anything luckily. I got multiple checks for pay that were hugely larger than what was expected. Was told to cash it and take my money and wire back difference cause his “secretary” messed up. My dad got a hold of a buddy was was an FBI agent. They knew the exact person cause of the check but said because it’s over seas it’s just too much time and money to even do anything about it and this dude. It’s kinda sad.

They pull the exact same scam in the USA too. except they will use several different phone numbers and drop boxes. Mostly African suspects still pulling the scam.

We were texting and emailing as part of the transaction. I looked up his phone number and email. I got Easton from that. I suppose it could be a burner phone or bounced off a VPN or something. Idk?

This is extremely popular and they try it on forums, Craigslist, online listings, anything you can think of. They'll send you a check for $2,500 immediately for your $1,000 item then you just right them a check for the difference. Your check clears. Theirs doesn't. The worst part is these scumbags often go after the vulnerable population like your elderly parents/grandparents.

Free number to anyone: Voice (google.com)

You can even spoof it to say whatever you want on the caller ID. So they'll often spoof your area code to make it look like they are a local caller.

Ya know, if these scammers would use that time and energy in learning a job, they’d probably do very well for themselves and not have to worry about jail! Frickin morons!

I guess the Nigerian Prince may send his forces to come get me soon as I havent claimed my money yet. He once told me I have inherited USD 10 Million and I need to send him evidence that I am the rightful heir by sending him two thousand dollars immediately to a bank account in Russia.
