I got an email from someone named Jeffy with no posts here, telling me that someone named Nicholas Henry had the Star tom arm I wanted. I went along with it and we exchanged several emails, but it started sounding fishy, and I just emailed him back telling him I'd changed my mind. I have a feeling he's not in the USA by the way he writes his sentences.

Guys, don't be taken in by these scumbags.

Admins, please block the scammers!

Here's the email I got from "Jeffy."

hello are you still interested in getting this?.
you can contact Nicholas he has a Vintage Star Tom Holder for sale........... PM him @ nicholashenry283@gmail.com

The same suspicious email also came from someone who calls himself Washington101. Beware.

Yep! I"m getting the same scammers! Just did my own post too.

Re: Scammers
 
When I told the scam artist I was no longer interested, he emailed me back, why? I just ignored that one and he quietly went away.

Last night, I got two PM's from some ******* POS scammer telling me that so & so had the part I was looking for. This is exactly what happened a few months ago.

Admins, please ban this scumbag.

Some scam artist POS is at it again. I got this today:

Hey Buddy,

I recently purchase items from a member here @Zevslash, Rogers Swiv-O-Matic Tom Arm are among the items he's willing to part out with. You can email him at scobypat6@gmail.com if he still have it available for sale.

Thanks.

TOMMY, can you banish this douchebag?

Getting similar pm from “wilshire” somebody.

I can’t get back into pm’s once I've opened it, but he’s only been a member for a few days.

Took care of the two DrumBob had, so now I’ll look into this one. THANKS!

Was one called Ludwig wilshere? I got something fishy from him too.

Tommyp 02-06-2023 05:22 AM

Re: Scammers
 
Ludwig wilshere is banned from the forum/group. If they are still contacting members using the PM system, that is a tad bothersome. I’ll look into the particulars on that.

Yep, I got hit a couple of days ago by this POS! He gave me an email address of someone called Martins Rodriguez who had a 14 inch Duraline drum head for sale. Sent him the funds via an Amazon card (my sister did it for me). He used the card immediately of course so no cancellation could occur. I've questioned him repeatedly. No answer. No head. Ahhh!!!

Hi, Tommy!
I think someone may have tried to scam me again! Since I solely am lacking in computer skills, I didn't know how to forward the message in my inbox to you. It was written by a Thomp97. When I tried to find some info on him, nothing could be learned. Please feel free to go to my inbox, under"14 inch, 8 lug die cast snare side rim." Something is definitely fishy with this message. Thanks, sir!

Re: Scammers
 
I just wanted to let everyone know of two scammers on Facebook Marketplace named Teresa, and Lourdes P. Both (they could be the same person), contacted me regarding some drum cases I had for sale, and I guessed right away that they were both POS scammers. Be aware of these names and don't fall for their BS.

Both had photos of young women attached, and their English was less than ideal, tipping them off right away.
