Tennessee Snuffy Posted December 21, 2024 Posted December 21, 2024 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. Tennessee Snuffy 1 2 Quote
Cholla Posted December 21, 2024 Posted December 21, 2024 I bet Nickel City Dude has his personal information posted somewhere for this to happen. 1 1 Quote
Cypress Sun Posted December 21, 2024 Posted December 21, 2024 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...... 1 Quote

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. Quote
Tennessee Snuffy Posted December 21, 2024 Author Posted December 21, 2024 Cypress Sun 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 Quote
Eyesa Horg Posted December 21, 2024 Posted December 21, 2024 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. Quote

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. 3 1 Quote

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. Quote
Boggus Deal #64218 Posted December 21, 2024 Posted December 21, 2024 That is the same scammer that tried to be me a few weeks back and couldn’t even spell my alias correctly. I’ve been sharing his info as much as possible. 1 Quote
Eyesa Horg Posted December 21, 2024 Posted December 21, 2024 They don't give up even when found out! Quote
Outlaw Gambler Posted December 21, 2024 Posted December 21, 2024 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. 1 Quote

Eyesa Horg Posted December 21, 2024 Posted December 21, 2024 That's what makes us such an easy target. I hate having to be suspicious of new Pards here. Quote
Beartrap SASS#57175 Posted December 21, 2024 Posted December 21, 2024 I've learned that anytime a message of any type says "kindly" it's a scam! 2 Quote
