Buyers beware. I just got taken for roughly $170 over a supposed Large Mantis by “Bowhunter121016”. I should have known something was fishy. And I in no way hold the forum responsible. I just want people to be aware. It is the first I have heard of it happening on here. I sent money and have heard nothing. They were to send me shipping information.

I was able to cancel payment for a part of it from my bank to PayPal. And while nothing will probably come from it I will call the police tomorrow. Paypal said they will release the account information to my bank and/or the police.

The user name was probably a tip off and that they had just joined the forum was also good info to have noticed.

We are being infiltrated.

Stay frosty.

Thanks for the heads up. Sucks that it happened though.
 
That burns me up. I have a knack finding people like that in a quick fast hurry. I’m betting many others in this bunch could easily do the same. Scammers be warned.

As many things I have bought and even sold a few I have never had a problem. I’m surprised

Here was my initial post in his for sale thread...


I am curious about the pictures. This exact saddle appears to be on eBay right now and has 29 bids and going for close to $400. Is there a reason you are selling here for so cheap on here?

LG Tethrd Mantis Tree Saddle https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/174018274088

He played it off that he didnt like ebay...? Fishy
 
That's why I'd rather pay the extra 3% on PP to cover you. I was watching that thread and wondering. Really sucks, I don't know how people do that. Maybe they're just really struggling in their life right now, or maybe they're just a straight scumbag. Bummer

I know. I had already done private message and basically paid him or her. Then went back and looked at the thread later.

I have just trusted too much on here. Again, mainly haven’t heard of it happening on here before.

yeah, I've bought in sold more than I care to disclose on this forum and every transaction has been handled with great respect and honesty. I'm a little bummed to hear this.

Also, "stay frosty"... I don't suppose you eat yellow mustard?
