Scammer alert cleared by guards

[BowlingForSoup]

Okay everyone, I checked with guards to see if I could let ya'll know about this before posting. Just to be sure. If you want to know the whole story, gimmie a pm. The guys email is [email protected]. Myself and a number of other people got screwed by this guy. Basic you send money, wait, he emails, says he's sent it, you wait...and wait....and wait...email him back, says he's sent it, gonna check on it, you wait, you email, he doesn't email back, you email, he finally gets back to you and pulls one of those "I'm being watched, need to lay low for awhile" stories. More went into it than that, but you get the general idea. The same scenario was verified by another guy he got to the T. I know a lot of you already have your hookups. This is basically for some of the newbies on here. Check your source out with a mod, but be careful. They can give you an address for a mod at some board you might not've heard of, and the address is just another one they have for themselves. Get to know some guys (like here at elite for instance). Don't look for a quick way out. If you're going to do it, do it right. If it's too good to be true, it probably is. Get in here on the boards and if you have a question, search around for it first. It's probably been asked. If not, then ask it, but go about it right. Everyone on here seems to be here for everyone else, this is much the reason why I'm letting ya'll know about this dick. Just another fine example of a worthless human being. That's basically it. Just wanted to inform of a waste of egg and sperm really. Decided to preach for a second. Take care everyone

with all the scamming still going on how could someone still get away with all of this? what i mean is references, i get e-mails for guys that some sources that i have used and they ask about them. do all these sources that scam all you guys give ref's? thank god but i have never had a problem.

I agree that people check sources and get references to avoid to be scamming. But I have a question What if you are new on board and have not references? When you will start to make "references" if you follow that approach?
Maybe in the "virgen" source will be more rewards
It is like when you go out from high school and want to start work. Your resume is empty, so you never start to work!!!
Maybe you need more research and make it some direct questions (to source ) to know who is and what he wanted to do, like a work inquery. Send a mail with a questionary if you want.

The ones I've seen...have references. It's usually either someone in on the job with them, or it's actually the source themselves, with another name. It's shitty, and a bit unbelievable, but true.

I'd never even look at a reference unless it was a well known vet from one of the boards. And then I would double check the email addy the source is giving me for the reference, with the email addy the vet in question has listed on the boards, to make sure it really is him. On top of that, I wouldnt even consider dealing with anyone who doesnt have at least 3-5 references from guys that I trust

Please check your sources and ask for Refs.
