So we have a phone service number, a gmail account name, and a paypal account for this scumbag.

Someone out here must know how to track him down and teach him a lesson!

The Merlinn screen name is banned now also.
The registration email address for that name is [email protected]
IP address is different from the other name.

Maybe just deal with established members of OSO? Or, if reasonable, meet and do the transaction in person. I would never send a stranger money in any form.

That’s what I do, and feel it’s kinda common sense, but these scammers get people every day.

People like this blow me away. I know I’ve had my doubts with all my dealings online. I count my blessing that there’s way more honest people on this forum then dishonest.

I bought a pair of imco lowers off FB last year, supposed to have just installed new bearings and had 2 seasons on gears... when I received them they both had skegs damaged, the seller said it happened in shipping... I brought them to Dick ( Mr Gadgets ) to take apart and inspect...gears were junk, bearings and races were pitted and 1 prop shaft was gouged where the seal rides...paid with MO..$5400 down the drain...sometimes I just hate people...😔
