preibaxe, or someone that hacked his screen name(though I doubt that’s the case as he only has 30is posts on here and recently joined)is a scammer. Responded to my WTB ad, sent me pics and text from an old ad from 2021 on another site, wouldn’t provide specific pics I asked for, would only accept PayPal friends and family, etc. Name attached to his email was Sean Hacall. Just a heads up for you fellows.

I knew it. I got into a back and forth with him because he would not send me the pictures I wanted and he had the nerve to call me a scammer lol. I had a gut feel it was a scam but he is state side and knows enough to not be obvious. The post it was photoshot with my name and date on top of the item but he would not open the case and put the post it under the die. Glad I dodged the bullet

This was reported weeks ago. We need a scammers sticky up top where everyone can go through and place known scammers on ignore.

Good looking out? Did you warn anyone else?

When I looked at his profile I saw that I already had him on ignore.
Seems someone else had already called him out.

No because it wasnt obvious I thought it was just a cranky old man. I'm usually pretty good at this stuff but he was better than the rest. We need a place the Mods watch and can boot someone who is reported fast

worst part is he even participated in some non sale posts to get some post count. They used to not do this.

I have noticed some "questionable" people lately that have done the same. There will be a big gap in their posts, often a year or more without posting. At a glance they may have a substantial post count. Maybe they are legit and there was a reason for the break but it has just made me extra cautious.

Preibaxe was sending me pics from a Guns International listing for a 35 Remington mag I had posted an add for. He can eatadik!

WTB ads are a magnet for scammers.

Keep posting WTB ads..............scammers need to reply to stupid fookers.

Rick should have a team post WTB posts and trap these scammers.

I looked up his posts - the majority were one (or very few) word replies. Never engaged in a discussion of any kind. Obvious he was just getting post count up.

Yep, I have had two WTB listings and he has responded to both. Definitely seemed fishy. WTB ads aren't always a bad idea, but you have to be vigilant.

Zero attempts to defend himself either.
He knows he's busted.

Nice. That's a great feature. Thanks Rick!

I almost got scammed and probably would have but it was Christmas morning and the dude was very active wanting payment… I have no idea how, but they hack the system and find users screen names that have been inactive for years but have feedback and they take over that account.
Like previously posted a WTB ad brings the scammers running!!!
