Cuemaking Equipment scam on Craigslist

[dzcues]

Someone has posted this ad on Craigslist: https://racine.craigslist.org/spo/d/granger-tons-of-billiard-items-business/7509859988.html

There is no name, no address, no phone number but there IS a minimum purchase of $2,000. The ONLY name associated with this ad is an old picture from my website. I have been told that people are inquiring about my retirement in response to this.

I AM NOT RETIRING.

I can only assume that someone is hoping that my good name will encourage buyers to send $2K to a scammer. Tell your friends. If they try to buy anything from this ad, they will likely be disappointed.

The ad has been flagged and removed, but I suppose this is a Whac-A-Mole situation.

The ad was taken down the same day I posted this. As far as I know, nobody fell for it. The $2K minimum buy probably stopped impulse buyers and serious buyers would probably have done their due diligence. Straight shooting everyone!
