WTS Fraudulent! SLC 10X42 and 15X56!

[Peakbagger46]

Look out for the locked thread just posted, it’s fraudulent!

Thanks for the heads-up! Man, this is getting scary! It takes a lot of diligence before purchasing these higher priced items these days. Idiots are ruining classified buying.

I actually paid for the 10X42 but fortunately used goods and services. Just got off the phone with paypal and the scammer won't see a dime.

I feel like an idiot for falling for it.

Yeah he told me I could buy the 15 x 56 is roughly an hour after they were listed. Being they are less than half the price of new binoculars, and they were still available was really a shocker to me

I thought it was legit too.

I just talked to Ryan Avery and he said the account was hacked. So stay away guys

@Peakbagger46 What was the red flag when you knew? I got boned on another forum a few weeks ago by one of these dirtbags so trying learn as much as I can

I talked to this guy. He kept referring to the binos as he. I asked him for a picture of the serial number and his phone number. He gave me the number to a crank bait company

@Ryan Avery how do these guys keep hacking accounts? Are guys giving their passwords to people? Anything we can do besides a good strong password?

yeah this is sketch. two stage authentication perhaps?

Using the same password across multiple sites. One site gets hacked and then it's free for all.

They aren't hacking the website. They know the member's passwords. There has been a password breach elsewhere. Unfortunately, people don't take their PW seriously. They use the same weak password everywhere.

I wish the penalty for scamming was so harsh that people thought twice before doing it. Maybe something just short of death.

[Xlr8n]

is back in control of his account.

Good on you @Ryan Avery and Rokslide for jumping on this.

 

[SecretSpot]

It was pretty obvious the dumbass wrote in English that was broken like he was Nigerian, and he was selling mint 2020 15slcs for 1k...I did background on the account and figured it got hacked. I trolled his Ad. I think the administrators should post a picture of the ad if it isnt already available to show how sketchy the ad really was. .

Thanks Ryan! I apologize to anyone that got roped in. I probably would have been trying to buy those binos from my cyber stand-in for that deal too if I could have! Glad everyone is looking out for each other here.

HAHA, I double-check your IP one more time to make sure it was you. Glad to have you back!
