Does anybody know a Ron Thomas personally?
I think we all probably have different levels of internet caution. Personaly I'd probably be happy with a user name and date. It's unique enough to be tough to forge.Now I understand why some people place their names in their photos for items they are putting on sale here. Do you suggest using your actual name though???? What are some safety recommendations you mods would recommend?
It was hard for me to edit that out but I'm trying to be a good boy!!!I think we all probably have different levels of internet caution. Personaly I'd probably be happy with a user name and date. It's unique enough to be tough to forge.
BTW: Thanks for the edit . . .
I know what you mean, but we do appreciate it.It was hard for me to edit that out but I'm trying to be a good boy!!!
Yes, this is the first potential scam I've had on SADDLEHUNTER.COMBuying from newbies I sometimes choose to pay the 3% Goods And Services Paypal which is almost insignificant on items less than 300$ to me. That gets you the insurance that if you do not receive the item I.e. the scammer can’t prove he sent the item and it was delivered PayPal will refund the money.
I will say that everyone I’ve bought and sold with has been top notch thus far and I’ve bought and sold 20+ saddles.

Now I'm scared of the other offers I have to buy a "Recon Small"
Where is the mods when you need themIf your looking for a recon small I have a buddy that has one for sale. I can get you his email if you want?
No there have been a few, not nearly as many since the pay to play as members....... agreed if someone has a low post count or reaches out to you have some dialogue to vet some of this stuff out. I pay goods & services for almost everything. Makes it a lot easier. I do remember the one guy that got scammed here, the crew made a pot & ordered him a new saddle! Great crew here.Yes, this is the first potential scam I've had on SADDLEHUNTER.COM
I got hit by Ron Thomas yesterday. I'm looking for the Weatherby bibs. He spent 45 minutes sending me pics of everything but. Best thing was the first thing he tried to sell was a gun. Definitely shady as ...
I have his cell# if anyone needs it too
Again feel free to report sketchy posts and/or PM a mod.I bet as saddlehunter grows.... which it will, this will be more common unfortunately.
I emailed him back letting him know he was a scammer and the cat was out of the bag. But he didn't respond LOL. See his email on post 18 and drop him a kind line informing him he has been exposed.Drop the digits and I’ll send him wiener pictures. See how he likes dem apples. Kidding of course! But the guy sounds like a real turd..... I’ve had nothing but good experiences as far as buying and selling so far. Like Boyne said tho, if I have any doubts, I pay the extra fees to cover my butt.
They're not necessarily a sportsman. There are people who just sign up for online forums and try to scam people out of their money. If you start asking questions they don't always have knowledgable answers on the equipment.I've never understood why one sportsman would try to do that to another. Why? (Rhetorical question, no need to answer.....) Get out the ban hammer, spread the word, and move on. SMH. ***?
Curious if the guy bought a membership or was just PMing folks when he saw there WTB ads? I usually only buy from members but I’ll sell to non members. That’s another way to mitigate getting scammedThey're not necessarily a sportsman. There are people who just sign up for online forums and try to scam people out of their money.
