 |
|
Beware of a buyer calling himself Ryan Reeve, using the e-mail address r.ryan02@yahoo.com.
He has contacted me regarding every item I have listed in the marketplace.
This is an obvious scam. Do not make any arrangements with him and do not cash any payment from him. The check will bounce and you will be responsible for the funds. |

| Of course you did. I can only assume he's sending them to everyone listing items for sale. I hope no one falls for this. I am so tired of these scams. |

Check out a post about a scam on page 3 (I think) of the mouthpiece forum. It's most likely the same guy. People like this shouldn't even be allowed to live.

I experienced nothing less than elation at the idea that somebody wanted to buy everything I had listed in the marketplace. ...After those few moments, I felt something less than joy.

| Yeah, he just emailed me, too offering to buy the horn I'm looking for. I guess he can't distinguish a FOR SALE listing from a WANTED listing. |

Hey, someone's bound to misread the message and send money to the guy. Truth be told, I skim a lot of things myself, like something I had to go to a county office for recently. I'm being charged a fee to transfer my address, since A) the receptionist was too inept to read my driver's license correctly the first time, and B) I'm apparently a terrible person for missing one digit within 2 pages of nearly unintelligible bureaucratic jargon. C'est la vie...

Yeah, for that reason, it may be a good idea to have this thread bumped every now and again just to keep it in view. God knows how long he's going to keep sending people emails.  |

It's a great idea.
Everyone on this forum should just bombard him with multiple e-mails, until he "gets it".
Who's willing?

I got one from the guy, too.
No matter what you are selling, he claims to be interested.
If you advertised a pile of dog turds for sale, he would send you an offer.
"Dear Sir, I am very much interested in the pile of dog turds you have for sale..."
