Away on an extended break
I was about to do a deal with him. Guess I won't. Thanks for the heads up.

Let us know what he does ..

He was happy to do a deal with PayPal as long as it was a gift saying that could be charged back if I didn't get the goods  ... he says he's in upstate NY but his IP says San Fran ..


Paypal + gift option is a pain in the ass. YOU CAN'T CHARGE BACK unless you are using a stolen cc to send the money, which Paypal will charge him back when the CC company contacts them. NEVER send using gift for physical goods, especially with scammers all around.

Nothing "possible" about it.  That's 100% pure scam.

I put a WTB message up a few weeks ago looking for 5970s in bulk.


I was contacted by Pastory99.


He offered me 40 at $300 each.

I asked him to send me photos of the boxes and a photo of his ID so I could verify they were real

I got a photo of two large brown boxes - nothing visible. When I asked him to open the boxes and take photos of what was inside, he told me he can't do that and that he could only do it for a genuine buyer (?!)

His ID was blurred and unreadable. When I asked him to scan it, he told me he doesn't have a scanner and his camera can't take clear shots.

BEWARE!
