Beware of CashKing and TheGreatGatsby

BIMMERPOST / Classifieds
Asking Price:
Sold

Item Interest
Standard scamming bullshit using pics from old fs ads. Won't accept Paypal. Curiously has a visitor message claiming he delivered a charge pipe, minutes before a wtb thread was started and hours before he replied. He actually listed Gatsby's location as California this morning, but I forgot to screenshot it then.

cashking TheGreatGatsby and whatever other usernames you're using: just leave.

I checked the pages of people that visited his profile recently, and all had WTB threads on 1/29 or 1/30. So I'm assuming he made his account and just started responding to them to see if anyone would bite.

Pro Tip: if they only have Zelle/Venmo, that's a red flag.

Scammers continue to scam because people keep falling for their scams

I fell victim to one last year and it was a hard lesson learned but I did get my money back from my cc company.

There was another man whom I've warned the admin, Law about. I talked to him on the phone and everything. He seemed genuine, sent a shipping label and everything. People will scam, and be scummy. Always be cautious, friends.

Wow he really changed his name. Yep, now it's godofzeus. Doesn't really matter what he changes his name too, because his forum user id # will always be the same.

Nice call out. I was chatting with him about a downpipe he PM'd me about. He said he didn't have PayPal, I said get one so I could use PayPal business, and he said he did. I tried to PM him back this morning and his PMs are disabled. Glad I found out more info in this thread.
