WTB SCAMMER

did you report the profile?

Yes

Only pay with G&S and you're insured. 3.49% for peace of mind isn't a bad deal.

G&S just got harder now that paypal is making you report G&S income of over $600 in a year as taxable income. Makes me want to do all the legwork in advance to be sure things are good, then send F/F if I have a good feeling about the situation.

I just sent the guy a text thanks for his number and letting us all know. Kindly is always a red flag.

I take the approach that it is probably best to NOT identify or point out the red flags. While those types of red flags are obvious to us WKR’s, they may not be obvious to the POS scammers. I try to not give them an education or let them know what tipped me off. Let them keep making the same mistakes so it’s easy to spot.

Same guy scammed me for 70 and won’t answer the phone or text. I assume the mark Davis and address is bull.

He contacted me right after I posted a WTB add this week as well. Right away I thought he seemed off.

I haven't fully researched this yet, but keep in mind that you have a "cost basis" for stuff that you sell and income is only considered to be what you receive over and above your cost. So if you bought something new for $600 and sell it for $400, you have taken a loss on that sale and you shouldn't owe any tax on it as it is not "income".

Buy anything gun related with PayPal, fees or not and report an issue, and they’ll leave you hanging. Most likely they ban your account as well.

Negative Ghost rider. I've had to use them for issues with an optics purchase in the past and had good support.

I guess be glad it wasn't a Swaro you were looking for. And agree, a total slimeball. Love to find his real addy.

How good was the photoshopped proof of life pic? Any chance to see it. Mainly wanted to see how well the paper edges blend in. I always wondered how good they could make it. Of course dont want you to publish your phone#.lol

Lol…. It’s not bad I guess. I’ll give you the before and after pic. Don’t really care if people call me, never answer my phone anyway

Scammers are such a waste of life. So many ways to make money, and they choose to rip people off for a living. Must be a miserable existence.

Yeah that pic is fairly obvious to my eyes. And notice how the paper is off to the edge, not laid on the item. I always request the paper be laid across the item. I was told by a few photogs that its infinitely harder to photoshop something like that instead of off to the side in a homogeneous surface like a tabletop, etc.

Still pretty tricky.

I don't know enough about tax law to know how that all works, but it does make sense. And that's great to know. Does that work even if you bought said item years back? I assume you can't adjust for inflation based on what you paid, but the dollar amount then compared to the dollar amount now is what you'd work with right?

correct, you would use your actual (unadjusted) cost

I'd have them send me a video of them actually holding the object.
