Suspicious e-mail message from @spaceheart2020

WAYNEAS

Received an e-mail message from @spaceheart2020 about an item I am looking to buy on BST forum.
It reads:
"Hello
I recently purchase some items from a member here @Gr33n , 2022 S reverse proof RI American Innovation Dollar are among the items he's willing to part out with. You can email him at alifatehy696@gmail.com if he still have it available for sale.
Thanks."
BEWARE as it is a scam from a new member who only joined on January 31, 2023 8:06AM.

P.S. I also listed this on the U.S. Coin Forum.

I got it too. Dang if I didn’t respond. Awaiting response. I guess I’m the bait. I’m looking for a 3- roll Maya Angelou set and danged if his friend didn’t have some available 🥴
Perhaps some fun can be had. 😂
I’m such a sucker 🎣

Yes, they have been.

Stupid

Same here as well.

The grammar in this email smells of someone where english is not their 1st language. Was there any hint in the email that you needed Car Shield Insurance. Just saying.

Another scammer.

Dang. They never got back to me. I was pretty excited about giving them my debit card linked to my main account and perhaps and of course my home address and directions. Maybe they would like the account number and all pins as well.
I’m a sap 😂

I really am getting a lot of enjoyment from my fellow forum posts. 😄
Does anyone know exactly what information the scammer was asking for?

I received a similar message.

Thanks for the heads up Wayne.

I sent an email to a seller recommended by spaceheart2020. The seller responded saying he had two proof Jefferson nickels to sell (Cert #s 81623042, 41286038). These two nickels are a PF69 DCAM and a PF68+ DCAM, both blast white, that were sold by Legend in late 2021 for big, big, big $$$$. I replied saying I was looking for attractively toned, non Cameo/non DCAM PCGS graded coins that I would pay about $15.00 each for.

It would be very surprising to me if the responding seller actually owns both coins (and wants to sell them privately to a BST buyer instead of consigning them to auction).
