Be carefull on paying on classified parts......!!!!

[Buffchief]

So I contacted (messaged) a seller about an item listed earlier I wanted and he contacted me back but it would be later when he returns from a trip. That's all good.. So I looked at some other items he had and made a remark (on the listing) that if he still had the items I wanted them as well when he returned...... THEN, I received an email from someone telling me to go ahead and send him payment to hold it (the second item that I commented on under item) so that people would quit messaging him about it and even used the REAL sellers MUD name/handle. Seemed odd and then he sent me his paypal info, phone # and I assume a fictitious name. I had already sold items to the original lister so I knew something didn't seem right so I messaged him and sent screen shot. He said definitely not him. Contact sellers directly and be careful of non matching info! So buyers/sellers beware of this clown on attached screen shots. Make this clown famous !!

Crazy.

For what it's worth, the first thing I thought was: "how did they get your email". I searched "buffchief + email" on here and found the thread with your email in it from 1/22/25.

I would assume the scammer is probably doing similar things to others on here; seeing someone agreeing to a purchase, then searching for an available email associated with their username on here...

Yes, I may have posted somewhere...ikd. I just think it's pretty crappy! He asked me twice, almost ordering me to post a screen shot of the payment as well!
