Guys also beware these hackers send PM's with links taking you to new log in screen looking exactly like TRF. That is how Govberg and others here were hacked by same person who originally hacked user gilv. It was under the account gilv that the phishing link was first sent. This all started last Thursday with a handful of sellers getting hacked including Springer.

I almost fell for that 1680 this morning... I sent a text to govberg and got a reply. Yes, I am playing along via email.
me: "Interested in the 1680, is that the right price?" scammer: "$3000 is the price. Send me an email to [email protected]" me: "OK, how do you want the payment sent?" scammer: "We accept bank wire/ cashier check." me: "Do I make the check to govberg jewelers? Regards" scammer: "No, make the check payable to our stock warehouse in FL. Payable to: Conexion Turismo. Delivered to: Jason Guell 8115 nw 74th ave #50616814 Medley, FL 33166 Phone: (305) 591-7507 Make sure it is a certified cashiers check you send. Will overnight the watch to you one we receive the check. Thanks - Jason " Well we can start with this information here. Be safe guys, if its too good to be true... it probably is. Thanks. |

This same guy hacked gabagcaoili95 over on WUS. I gave the real gabagcaoili95 a heads up. This scammer hacked his account and has been trying to sell a 118239 for $11k. I have been emailing with him and he just sent me this info to purchase:
Not sure why you would get results for spammers from my email. I've used this same email for 3+ years. But alright I will mark it sold for you. Send me an overnight certified cashier check in the amount of $10,950 to -- Payable to: Conexion Turismo Delivered to: Jason Guell 8115 nw 74th ave #50616814 Medley, FL 33166 Phone: (305) 591-7507 Will ship overnight and fully insured once I receive the check and confirm funds with bank. What's your shipping info? Thanks, Jason (Gab) |

That "deliver to" address is for a warehouse in Miami.
Business address for: http://www.yellowpages.com/medley-fl...-inc-458220783 I hope those hacked and attempted to be defraud go to authorities with this information. |

Same hacker tried this with me from Springer's screen name last week. The guy used this email address - "[email protected]" - and signed all emails "JP." Same business entity, address, and contact. Local police and state troopers have been notified. |

Since we've got the guys address where he is having these cashier check's sent, I would hope something could be done. He's already scammed someone out of $4k and he thinks my check for $11k is on its way. Pleading with me to send him photos & tracking of for the check I sent. Seems like some law enforcement could show up at the guys place and take care of him? I'm sure it's not that simple.

Just a quick update from a fellow forum owner.
This same guy, using the same email address, hijacked one of our moderator's accounts and started PMing a bunch of members, asking for a Paypal contribution in order for them to maintain their accounts on our forums. Get in touch with me if the forum operators here would like to connect to make a case against this prick. |
