Folks

 

Another scammer on the classified.  As you can see on the Classified, I have a Lab radar for sale.  I had an offer from Nickel City Dude but declined.  This is the following message the scammer sent to Nickel City Dude and it WAS NOT FROM ME.  Thank goodness Nickel City Dude communicated (via PM) with me and asked if I had changed my mind before sending any funds.

 

Lab Radar

Todd German <toddallengerman@gmail.com>

To: t.sxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.com

Hello Nickel City Dude. 

It's Tennessee snuffy from SASS, I'm messaging you concerning my Lab Radar, I'm willing to accept your offer for some reason funds needed I'm willing to let it go, kindly get back to me with your shipping address and let me know how you would like to proceed.

Thanks & Best Regards.

I bet Nickel City Dude has his personal information posted somewhere for this to happen.

After all of the warnings from Moderators and many SASS members, people are STILL posting their personal information for anyone to see, including scammers. This instance is no different.

 

You can lead a horse to water......

Nickel City Dude is a Territorial Governor, so his info is on the main web site.

 

Seems he was smart enough to be suspicious and used PM to verify authenticity with Tennessee Snuffy. NCD did it the right way considering he does have to have his information out there.

It's simple. Do not post personal information, also make sure it is deleted from your profile. Do some searches for your name or alias on the Internet as well. There could be an old post with your info. There is also a sticky on the top of the classifieds.

Unfortunately, that's not the only place that the info is posted.

 

I had a conversation with another TG about his personal info posted as a TG. I suggested that he remove the phone number and have a separate E-mail exclusively for TG purposes. Whether or not he heeded the unsolicited advice, I don't know. I realize the need for a TG to have some info available but with the scammers of today, I personally wouldn't.

 

My post was not intended to denigrate NCD at all. Simply meant as a heads up for everyone.

I know the information has been posted before about how to limit your personal information but would you be able to post again as a good reminder to everyone?

 

Thanks

 

There are several locked threads on the Classified forum. For those that haven't read them, it's worth the few minutes of time to read them in their entirety. The scammers are getting worse by the day and it seems to not be ending any time soon.

This same scammer is running all over SASS, todd or allen german has attempted at least 4 scams in the pas 2 weeks and those are only the ones I know about. Since he can't be blocked you have to beware.

No, they do not. And this forum is a very trusting community. Most members are not used to exchanges here being suspect.

That's what makes us such an easy target. I hate having to be suspicious of new Pards here.

Also, if you get an email about pork, ham and a lot of salt don't open it..................."it's SPAM"

All kidding asside I did find a post I made long ago and it had my email address in it.  I deleted that informaiton from the posting.

I thought something wasn't right when I received an email from Tennessee Snuffy instead of a PM.  That is why I sent the PM to TS to see if it was reallly him

Boy!. Scammers are getting worse all the time.

Hey pard, wasn't trying to put you on the spot. If it came off that way, I apologize.

 

Glad you caught it and neither one of ya'll got scammed.

Not a problem, It was yours and other posts that prompted me to check out my previous posts.
