I don't know who to contact here about this, but this user is back here and actively trading. He tried the same scam on me as he did to a person on Coin Talk. Heads up and be safe everyone.

    with any new members with a low post count, I require that they send the coin or bullion first and then I send payment. If this isn't acceptable, no deal.

    Same practice in other forums and it should be the norm here as well...

    When dealing with an unfamiliar new members it never hurts to ask for references.

    Hmm. I never knew this guy was on other forums. I know he was a problem on Cointalk for quite a while.

  • FHCFHC Posts: 323 ✭✭✭

    Good to know.

    This guy (Hunter Smith) has been trying to "cold call" people in a bunch of the Facebook coin groups I am in (sending them PM's to sell them coins). He is a known scammer. Stay far away!

  • YorkshiremanYorkshireman Posts: 4,583 ✭✭✭✭✭

    He called and emailed me the other day. I asked that not contact me again.
    He said he would be willing to do business face-to-face, but seemed willing to leave me alone. He has pictures of nice coin, but the intel here makes him seem very unethical.
    Maybe he is trying to turn over a new leaf?

    Once a scammer, always a scammer. Stay away, far far away.

    A guy that you have to worry about is he "willing to leave you alone" is not the kind of guy you want to be dealing with in any way, Lee.

    George,
    Deep thought.
    I meant I don’t think I’ll hear from him again.
