@Ref_Devil SCAM

Hey all,

Just a heads up the user @Ref_Devil took me for one.

He sent a DM after I replied to a post here: https://www.toyota-4runner.org/for-sale-t4r-items/308239-fs-5th-gen-hid-retrofit-fort-collins-co-$500-obo.html

He used the same lure as he did with @delz05 by stating the email address [email protected] would get me in touch with the seller.

My fault for using paypal F&F for sure though I looked in to the user history of the original poster and given extensive postings assumed everything was good. WRONG!

Your "mention" of @Ref devil is not working due to the upper case "D" and the underlined "space", my mention of him in this post should be the user/dirtbag who took advantage of you.

Not sure why the mods are sleeping on this guy, he definitely is running his game here. Super frustrating, glad you didn't fall for it!

He's banned.

When are you people going to wake up and not recognize a scam in the making and fall for it ??

It's the same exact scenario over and over yet people still fall for it.
