We've been having a ton of scammers lately. Essentially, they browse the wanted section and then send you a convo with something like this within: You send the guy an email and then he tries to talk you into sending him some money. Once you do, your money is gone because you didn't use PayPal. *** Anyway, I recently wrote some code that will cut these *******s off and spit on their sisters... However, I had to dive deep within the permissions system. If you see something wrong - holler at me!

Three different ones tried on the same want add over on the barn also. Sent from my SM-G973U using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Had a guy contact me over something on a totally OT forum; I really, really want the item so offered to pay his inflated price, he insisted payment be only via PayPal "friends & family" which doesn't offer buyer protection. I sent him the money via "regular" PayPal along with some extra to cover his fees. He sent me a refund within 60 seconds along with a curt little note.
I am happy to pay the fee ***ociated with a purchase, rather than taking the risk on a gift transaction.
That's like the first response you get anytime you post a "want ad" on many different forums. Freaking scammers should be drawn and quartered.
I probably got taken for $50 recently. I'm going to give it another week to be sure then I'll give out a name.
Ryan - check this link out from this HAMB member as it pertains to Paypal and what he was told by Paypal. These scammer *******s are using Paypal with other account names to scam people through Friends and Family Payments and Paypal won't intervein if there is a issue. At least that what this HAMB Member stated. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/justin-chole-maryland-area.1213240/
Thank you Ryan. I had one yesterday on my first ever wanted add for a 34' windshield frame. I appreciate all that you do for us.
Ryan, thanks for your time and effort. The names and e-mail addresses of the scammers should be published to protect all of us.
I didn't get much sleep last night... I absolutely ruined one of these scammer's online lives over the course of about 4 hours.
hahahahahahaha... good goin man, Truth, Justice and the American way..... Superman's got nothin on you....
