Beware of new users who have "just what you are looking for"

A little off the subject but still a heads up.
A friend of mine found a cue on a Chinese web site that was 1/2 the price of the same cue on well known sites.
It was a cheap cue to begin with but none the less he ordered it and paid with a credit card and his card was charged the correct amount but he never got the cue.
Thats as much as I know.
Dealing with unknown sites for anything is a real risk.

Hopefully the credit card company recall the sale. Dealing with unknown. Danger they’re a stranger.

It is very strange that he had your email address. Have you shared that in any posts here?
 
How is that done?
Google's reverse image search is a breeze on a desktop computer. Go to images.google.com(Opens in a new window), click the camera icon, and either paste in the URL for an image you've seen online, upload an image from your hard drive, or drag an image from another window.
 
We are starting to see a rash of new users who immediately spam people with notes that they have the exact cue they are looking for.

If someone with no iTrader feedback offers you a deal that sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Please report the user and we will look into it immediately.

Literally just happened to me today when I made a in search of post lol
 
Looks like we had another scammer, up to old tricks today. He coincidentally had the exact cue that a half dozen users were looking to buy. Username was Kolaq and he was giving out a 480 phone number. One of his IP addresses tracked back to Nigeria, and I am sure 480 is not an area code in Nigeria.

Did they contact you directly, or through the site?

Scammer!!!!
I sent Kolag the $75 courier fee to get my $5.5 million delivered that he asked for in the email I got.
 
Just wanted everyone to be careful with a scammer who goes by "Kelvin Gates". He's been contacting me whenever I posted in the Wanted section. Claims that he gets an error whne trying to message via Azb.

I took a chance and decided to trust a stranger. Scammed me of 150 already but I got it back thanks to PayPal.
 
I think anytime someone contacts you directly instead of on the site where you posted that you were looking for the item, it should be a major red flag.

Thanks for the heads up on this scammer.
