Ok I've thought about this so bear with me...... I think guys like this belong in jail ! This is the hokey ass message board right? I think we need a sub forum for guys like this ! We can call it "The Hokey Pokey!"..... No alcohol was used in this train of thought just good old age deteration of the mind !!
Thanks for posting . They make me . I get this one guy that makes my gut instincts kick in , twice now. Always tries to lowball and always wants to pay another way then what I state in the ads. “ Can always go to the bank but never the post office .” Says he always buys a lot from you hambers .Not interested is my reply.
If they respond to a wanted ad with an email address and the member is new, has zero posts etc etc etc its likely a scam. If they send pics reverse google search them. Come on fellas be vigilant.
We’ve told guys over and over and over .... GET HAMB NAME CHECK HISTORY JUST SIGNED UP NO POSTS - NO DEAL ONLY WANTs TO GO THROUGH Email NO DEAL..... Let me find my other post .. And copy it
FELLAS - DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE YOU DEAL WITH ANYONE. NO HAMB MEMBER NAME - NO DEAL NEW SIGN UP - NO POSTS - NO DEAL CONTACT MY FRIEND - NO DEAL POSTS UNDER 50-100 - NO DEAL SEND THE HAMB MEMBERS NAME IN QUESTION SO MODERATORS CAN LOOK AT AND BAN IF NEED BE. DON'T SEND MONEY ORDERS - WESTERN UNION - WALMART GRAMS - ALL THAT. NOT 100% PROOF BUT PAYPAL AT LEAST GIVES YOU A COMPLAINT REPORT / POSSIBLE REFUND BUT AGAIN NOT 100% FOOL PROOF. HAVE THE SELLER SEND YOU THE PART USPS COD - AT LEAST YOU WEED OUT THE BS GUYS THAT HAVE NO PARTS TO SEND. OR....... HAVE THE SELLER SEND THE PART - YOU SEND THE MONEY AFTER YOU GET IT. TRUST GOES BOTH WAYS.
Whats their HAMB NAME ? They had to contact you by HAMB Private Message initially to ask your for your Email. That should send a RED FLAG immediately.
Was given this email address from a party on one of my Ford sites--he sent me pictures of what I wanted and a few emails back and forth-- bought it thru Pay- Pal for $ 130.00 and after a week I never got the package he emailed me and said sent to wrong address will return money --6 weeks later no check-- Pay-Pal will not do anything about it or give me any info on these emails so I guess they protect the criminals not a honest person---
So you didn't actually do business through a HAMB contact - it was some other sight. ALWAYS investigate who you are doing business with prior to doing business. I bet the party on one of your Ford Sites - is in fact the SAME person. What FORD Site and what was the Party's Member Name on the FORD SIGHT ? If you sent it through PAY PAL - Pay Pal has the guys Email / Bank account info then. Call PAY PAL and speak with a PAY PAL Manager. Good Luck
Did you send the money as Family and Friends or as a purchase? If it was as Family and Friends you're screwed. If you paid through PayPal as a purchase and didn't get the item then PayPal will step in.
