In a SW sales thread about a week ago, az member mrsolaric posted that he had an ebony sw he wanted to sell and asked that anyone interested reach him at his email address: mrsolaric88@gmail.com it is associated with the name Solomon A Ricsung
I was delighted (and suspicious) to see the pics he sent me of a mint cond 2010 ebony nose sw with cocobolo points, a real stunner, and all he wanted was $3600. For anyone unaware, that's way cheap. Red flag #1 popped.
He has only been on az for 3 weeks and so I asked if he had anyone who could vouch for him and he said he did a deal with az member proteus but that didn't put me at complete ease so I asked if he would do an escrow deal at my expense. He ignored that. Red flag #2 deployed.
I told him that I would be satisfied if he would simply take another picture of the cue with *anything* containing that day's date plus I asked he provide me with his complete physical address. He responded saying he didn't have the cue with him at work and then he starting getting snotty with me about having trust issues and that he thought I was all set to send funds. He added that he's not comfortable sharing his address because I'm probably looking to steal his identity. Red flags #3, 4, & 5 shot up.
I thought it would be good to share the above in his sales thread warning others that he *might be* a scammer. Within 15 min of posting that he sent me a hate email calling me a forum bully, saying I can call the police and even president trump ifI wanted.
I posted that update and I added that I like happy endings and, who knows. maybe someone will end up very pleased, but for me, I saw enough red flags. :yeah:
For some reason, that thread was deleted.
Fast forward to yesterday, an az'er with great rep pm'd me to say he saw my input on that sw sales thread and he still decided to take a shot at buying the cue and it sounds like he protected himself well just in case things went sideways, and apparently, they sure have.
mrsolaric is telling him that his gf mailed the package to the wrong address TWICE.
I'll leave it up to the other fellow if he wants to add any further details.
I think it's now safe to say mrsolaric aka Solomon A Ricsung is bad news. :angry:
here are his posts on az (I sent a little red his way):

maybe the mods can reinstate the original sales thread in W/FS to update there, as well.
I hate thieves!
