Scammer Alert!

This guy offered me a blue/black fade Dark Timmy for trade today.

First off....pictures of the gun that he sent me:




Cryoburn HackZ(ME): Sounds good....how long have you had the gun?
zBL33DTH3DR3AMz(HIM): since august.

From the pics, this timmy looked vaguely familiar to me, so I began to dig around. Sure enough our very own AO member "-H-" has been and is still selling this exact same gun from 10-26-05 to 11-02-05.

Original link to the -H-'s Dark Timmy....notice the pics are exactly the same!

Cryoburn HackZ(ME): Very nice....did you buy/trade it from someone on AO? It looks familiar
zBL33DTH3DR3AMz(HIM): no i got it off pbr
zBL33DTH3DR3AMz(HIM): traded my dm4+68/45 for it.

Cryoburn HackZ(ME): Where are you located?
zBL33DTH3DR3AMz(HIM): illinois

*member -H- is from Dallas, Texas*

And if this isn't proof enough, I asked him to get me a pic of the gun with his name in the picture. His reply:

Cryoburn HackZ(ME): Working on that pic?
zBL33DTH3DR3AMz(HIM): i would need to get a cam first but yes i will

He has since deleted his F/S/T post on AO after he had realized I caught his little act.

Everyone, let this be a lesson that you can never be too careful trading your valuable guns. I've been a member of AO and PBNation since 2002 and this is the first time I have ever been a target of a blatent scam. Thank God for my decent memory of -H-'s beautiful Timmy.

Please be careful!
*I also have the saved IM logs if anyone else would like to see them*

nice to see you going about things safely. I would recomend that EVERYONE use a third party system to buy anything over $100. No matter how good the feedback is, people can still be screwed over.

Nice job. It's always nice to see a scammer get shut down!

Now if only there was some way to keep him from trying it again under a different name.

werd.. i bought a bnib invision from digitalebola.. he had exellent feedback. so i sent out a MO.. pretty soon its 3 weeks. then 2 months. turns out he had sold it for more. so i guess he decided to keep my money i guess.
