EMAILER TRYING SCAM WITH MY NAME! Watch Out




This P.O.S is trying scam using my name and reputation. It is obviously not me. He has even gone so far to prop a phone number with the correct area code but that’s not my cell. He’s created a email similar to my username here to swindle people. PLEASE BEWARE AND KNOW THIS ISNT ME.

If you need me contact me direct messages here to confirm it’s me or on my Facebook or by cell phone.

Kindest regards,
Parker Derby

The text of this message is a template for fraud.

I get these emails to my spam email account several times a month.

The same guy reached out to me earlier this week using a different TRF members info. He then followed up with an email from “from” a dealer I work with saying he vouched for him. He’s already scammed one member out of $30k. Be careful guys!

Yup, I received the exact same email, but from an email address imitating last seller I purchased from. Seems like this guy has a template that he just blasts out hoping to get some bites. When I said I was interested in the subC, and could pay paypal just like last time (I knew it was a scam I just wanted to see how he responded), he told me he was selling for his bro-in law who only could accept bank wire. Surprise Surprise! Stay vigilant out there people.

2 people PM’d me saying they received emails from “me” too. At first I thought my PM box was hacked, but there were no outgoing messages.
Be careful out there
