Member “Rolex66” is a scammer

Member Rolex66 is not who he says he is. Things seemed to be going smoothly in a deal to buy his Explorer II until he declined a video call, then further investigation shows in one of his posts he claimed his name is Christopher and he is in Ohio. Yet the driver’s license he sent me shows his name is Rick from California.

Looks like he is using an old TRF account that was hacked and revived around a month ago.

He used the phone number 253-237-2140 and the email [email protected]

Nope. If someone isn’t willing to FaceTime me then they definitely aren’t getting my money

Good on OP for requesting the call and sniffing out this scammer.

Beware, though . . . plenty of folks here got hit by scammers they spoke to on video calls. Just makes the whole experience even more weird and unpleasant when it happens.
