Scammer Alert: VanMalmsteen

[Webb]

While I never got an address, the name the money sent to was "Dianne Mosley" in case anyone else deals with a similar name.

That’s definitely fatbagg. I sold him something awhile back and that‘s the same name the money came from.

What an asshole.

No no, Van Malmsteen/fattbagg

This guy showed up right after fatbagg got booted and was quick to defend him. He also said he loves the cock. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

 

[mooncobra]

don't think it's been hacked, he talks exactly the same way lol

Yeah, I responded before I saw the thread as the post I responded to was right at the start.

I'd give him until tomorrow evening. I agree though a little communication goes a long way to make both the buyer and seller feel comfortable.

Yes. A simple email would go a long way

50 bucks? Jesus. Now he has to make a new name for himself. Is it possible that as a new member comes along, the mods define the ip address to ensure it’s not a banned address already? I’m not techy so I don’t know if this is doable but it might save 50-100-2000 bucks to some of us if possible ?? Mods ?

The whole IP address thing is a joke.

Everyone has a VPN service these days.

You can forget about tracking someone by an IP address.

Sorry for my venting, but I hate thieves.

@bugsy5150 and @khprojects , reach out to PayPal if you haven't yet. The one silver lining to all of this is that I did indeed get my money back from them. Even if you paid via F&F, reach out to them and make a complaint. It can still be possible to get your money back if you paid as a gift.

Then ban his ass, and right the fuck now. We know each other here by who's been around the place. We should consider making the classifieds tougher to post in, maybe 100 posts till we get who the fuck you are before u get to start shit with us.

Take a look at VanMalmsteens previous posts. It’s like the predator was lurking the whole time and trying to fit in. He even speaks as Fatbag as a third person

And that's what made this whole thing so hard for me to make in the first place. I really didn't want to make this thread and was totally willing to chalk this up to me being ultra paranoid. Stuff happens, ya know? Sometimes things don't get out in time. However, once I saw that he tried to sell vultures the same pickup I had already bought AND ignored multiple PMs, I knew something was fishy. I'm hearing about other people he scammed too, so it's good to hear he's finally banned.

This exact same thing happens on the gun forums as well. Same type of people. Willing to give up their integrity over 50 bucks! Just know… there are people in the world who will kill you for 20 bucks .

This was just a month ago.

Also it’s confirmed VanMalmsteen is the same person as Fatbagg. A person on TGP just told me a friend of theirs sold a GNG on here to VM and the address to ship to VM was identical to Fatbagg’s address.

Wait, so is this fatbagg writing about himself? In an attempt to repair his reputation via a rational actor
On rigtalk?

 

[japetus]

Called it

All for $50? Damn, my character couldn’t be purchased for 1 million bucks
