Scammer Alert

I just got this PM from davebe and it sounded a bit dubious.

korder has 1971 Topps Baseball PSA 7/8 "Black Beauties" for sale in good condition Here’s his email korderfreeman@gmail.com

So I searched around and found not only has this account only been active 2 days but users in the
B/S/T US Coins forums have been getting similar PM's and are warning each other about this scam.

Just a heads up.

    Pretty lazy scammer to offer a PSA 7/8 "in good condition" IMO.

    There was a similar scam a few months ago, with one “member” PMing us, telling us to email a third party who had cards we needed.

    I received a similar PM in Aug. from a "New member" Selkome804.
    I asked our Todd (MOD) to ban the scammer. The account is still active.

    "Aikmanson1 has 2001 Topps Chrome Retrofractor / Refractors that he wants to part out for a cheaper price but because i'm not in the state right now, i couldn't purchase it from him maybe you should email him and see if he still have it for sale. Here's his email freeman_corey@aol.com"

    Hmmm, this is interesting. He reached out to me that he had a 78 empty football wax box after I posted I was looking for one. We settled on $30 and he gave me some crazy gmail to send payment to. I was actually going to buy it but put in a bad email address because it was one of those ridiculously difficult emails with 15 letters jumbled up so after a failed attempt by me I called the deal off. If he is a scammer he is a low end scammer. Lol

    Perhaps, the OP believes it is a scam, but in reality, it is a legit seller abusing the pm system for marketing? xD
