Title: New and creative ways to harass scammers
Post by: Old Gobbler on February 23, 2023, 08:42:38 PM
Our members here are "family"  just got a pm message from one of our VALUED MEMEBERS...and he forwarded the scammers re-direct email ...I banned the zero post member selling a vest , and the email ...and censored the email to read  METH HEAD SCAMMER BEWARE .. whenever that email is typed the og system will kick it out as that
..
Scammers will ask you to send payment non friend PayPal or cashapp , they are usually scam mills , they do this all day long and believe it or not some have pretty good knowledge of hunting products


Just want to let you guys know we are looking out for you ..and to let the classified scammers...life is going to be difficult here ..move on

Thank you sir.  I have had transactions on here and all been great to deal with. One was a mess up on my end (really the post office) but the guy was cool about it and we got it done.

Strong work!!!  I was telling my wife today that on the whole, the turkey community is full of some of the nicest people you would ever meet.  I was at NWTF and I saw a call I wanted.  After talking with them for a bit, I told them I wanted it but was short cash but would run to the ATM later and come back to get the call.  He told me to take the call and get back with the cash when I could.  He told me he has never been burned by a turkey hunter he met face to face.  Needless to say, I kept his streak intact.  It is unfortunate that the occasional Richard Noggin decides to rear his ugly head.

My wife is an IT Director for a large organization and she deals with cyber security, Trojans, malicious payloads, ransomware etc. ALL DAY LONG. There are hoards of people, entire organizations, very smart people in fact, devoted to stealing digits. It's unbelievable what's going on.

My son is a police officer and some of the scams that actually get people to give their money away are ridiculous, but smart people fall for them. It would make you laugh, but theft is not funny.

Thanks Shannon!  It's GREAT to have a Family that looks out for one another.  Let's do our part and draw attention to those that fail to read and or understand and or just don't care about the Classified rules.  If we get any grief, I'm sure a report to Shannon will get a Quick response.  GREAT FAMILY here!

Glad to see them gone, the I will take $1.00 dude the other day was a joke, no matter how polite I was trying to explain things to him he kept trying to circumnavigate the rules.

Edited: Shannon one suggestion I'd like to make is that a firm shipping and handling price be established in each auction post to begin with. You will get another one of these guys that claim they'll take $1.00-$49.00 for that they have after they're told they can only do whatever number posts they have and then try to charge $295.00 shipping and handling to get around the rules. (Yes I have seen it done elsewhere and had someone try to do it to me.) A set amount for shipping and handling in the beginning of the add would stop that. Also none of these contact me for information deals.
