Yep that is his name. Im just hoping and praying that I do get the set. He wanted me to send first but I told him since I've never tradded with him before that he should be the one to send first. So if I do actually get this set I'll let everyone know.

well keep your eyes open folks

i dont know
but i saw a guy here in the last week or 2 with WEBSTER on his list also!!!!!

so maybe this ablessed---- is using several names or accounts
who knows

scammers usually do.....

JOEY1727 · 09-02-2006, 10:02 PM

CAN ANYONE TELL US IF THEY KNOW ANY USER THAT IS USING THIS ADDRES..THIS IS HIS..

NAME JUSTIN BROWN

ADDRESS 16 42 22ST ORANGE AVE

STATE SARARASOTA FLORIDA

savageamusement · 09-02-2006, 11:42 PM

Well the address isn't an exact match for any known traders.

I can say that Maples for example did tell me she had Webster awhile back, and she did have people send to Florida.
Could be-

And as well as Lamont pointed out a newbie trader also recently had Webster, but they were based out of California.

Doesn't mean anything tho.

When in doubt have them send first, even if its 1-2 discs
Or have them send to a third party you will also send to
and have the third party send to both, when both are received.
I have done this more times than I can count

The fact is, this user that contacted you both, hasn't made you aware that they are ON sitcoms.
only contacted you THROUGH sitcoms.

SO what is the chance a user happened to want to trade 2 peopel from here, but won't / hasn't joined
And why.

And why, are they asking you to send first- when they contacted you-
have no repuitation have no user name and use a free aol account.
What security do you have at all.

Seems fishy-

kix_dude · 09-03-2006, 12:13 AM

this person just wrote me too.

savageamusement · 09-03-2006, 12:18 AM

let me guess they want you to send first

kix_dude · 09-03-2006, 12:20 AM

asked them for their address...they haven't replied yet

passionsfan79 · 09-03-2006, 12:57 AM

The person was kept I assuming that I was gonna send first but I kept saying I wanted them to send first. In every emal just about he was like so your gonna send first then right?

savageamusement · 09-03-2006, 01:05 AM

So we have 4 different users from here.

All contacted by the same AOL emial contact

He wants all of you to send first- even though he contacted you all-
respectible traders, long term traders from a respected site that is moderated by an owner nad moderators.

He happens to have 2 series, no one has had-
isn't part of a trading community

Sure that doesn't seem suspicious at all.

If he has written all of you, I wonder who else they have written.

And how soon before I get an email from someone saying 'Hey savage i sent first to this guy...and got nothing"

passionsfan79 · 09-03-2006, 01:14 AM

No way Im sending to this guy first lol.

savageamusement · 09-03-2006, 01:54 AM

For the record the IP tag is New York based thus far from 2 sources
Taken from emails they sent-

So what does any good moderator do on a Saturday night??

Runs and compares that to older banned users and problem users.

I know a lot of excitement

Anyone else who got an email from this person-

You can click "See source on comcast and aol"
And you can click SEE FULL HEADER for Yahoo, Juno and Hotmail"

email me the full headers, and I can do a comparison run, to make sure they are all from the same origin-
and then compare it to previous users, and or - users that are logged on here.

As well if need be- having the IP provides something to block on other sites, and this site if need be.

Thanks for coming forward thus far-

And should any of you decide to trade this person and they DO send- let us know

This is like CSI Trading Post...only we try to be proactive rather than reactive.

JOEY1727 · 09-03-2006, 06:58 PM

when he finds out u are on to him he want return no more emails so yes i would say 99.5 this is a scammer at work..my advise to anyone from this board do not send 1st to no one that is a newbie or a stranger,only trust the ones that is been around for awhile..just some friendly advice,,

kix_dude · 09-03-2006, 07:02 PM
