Sales Alert - nathanevans details - pm selling

[Mike]

For info and to help members avoid similar

Over recent days we had reports of a member @nathanevans who has just joined the site pm-ing various members claiming to be able to supply 'wants' that had been recently posted

This member was a new member with no posts, no feedback or no history. All they had was a soul source account and a gmail address

He pm'd 10 members offering each member a 'wanted' 45 along with a low quality image of the 45

Some of the members involved shared their pms with us and so am passing on the following info ....

 

Location

Member claimed to be now living in Manchester but claimed was currently working in Kent - However the system reported his pms were being posted via a French Ip

Paypal Emails

Requested payment to these two email address via f&f

first

jangalba50@gmail.com

This was apparently a Czech one, when was asked about this, claimed he used to use this when in Czech and then gave this claimed uk based one instead 

briangrundza@gmail.com

Both different from the account email which was a gmail one based on his account name

 

Friends And Family

Requested f&f as method for all sales, when some paid without f&f at first tried to cancel deal 

 

Red Flags from members pms

Claimed to one member that he couldn't post a 45 on day agreed due to his son breaking his leg in football

Claimed to another member was in Kent at the moment, on the roads working late, but could get his wife to send 45 if needed

When asked to provide a scan of a run out for Charles Spurling, appeared to not understand the request and sent the close up image further below

 

Current situation as far as am aware

Contacted 10 members by pms

3 sent money but got money back via paypal 

1 sent money- but so far no refund from paypal

 

images

below images were uploaded on site as part of the initial pm to members

 

 

Endword

This is not the first time that we have had members having problems due to sending paypal payments via 'friends and family' to sellers who are not 'friends or family'

Suggest strongly that if someone 'new' to you asks you to pay via friends and family, you make sure that you do research the seller thoroughly and understand all the risks involved especially when it involves large sums of money.

Thanks to the member who made us aware of this 'member' and what he was up to

If anyone has concerns/worries  in the future please do similar and let us (the site) know asp
