Just wanted to put this out there to maybe help some people.
I have watched on other sites this week you can buy from 3 guys all getting scammed on razors. Yes the scammers are now taking photos of high dollar razors and the description and scamming people.
The scammers are also all over paintball forums, and no matter what anyone says on this forum also.
Below are some things to look out for to help so you not scammed.
1. User name looks weird or not like it should
2. Past sales if they have no sales or less than 3-4 be aware, not saying they are a scammer but it’s a red flag.
3. Description of the item. With no sales ever or not selling let’s say razors is the description look like it was written by someone that knows what they are talking about
4. Ask them questions before buying, ask something really stupid like does that razor take the new floating blades that Wilco came out with.
Floating blades is made up and Wilco same. If they say yes scammer alart
5. Scammers prey on what someone wants and the price. Like my mom always said when it’s to good to be true its normally BS. I see it with paintball markers all the time. Here is a 1,600.00 marker listed for 400.00 oh my god it’s mine and your scammed
6. Pay pay goods and services ONLY do not pay with anything else your money is not secured. Not with cash app, venom, PayPal friends and family, only PayPal goods and services.
All legitimate sellers will take this payment. That is all I will use even with guys I deal with private. It covers both parties
7. I’m sure someone will reply back you can call your credit card company Wrong. Reason is they can’t verify your purchase or if it was a scam.
Fb market place is scammer city, yes there are good people selling items and like most have no clue. Do some research on the person look them up, do they sell a lot or is it a 1 off. If it’s a 1 off for decent money be careful
I hope this helps some people. I hate to see people scammed but biggest thing scammers prey on your impulse to buy due to the price being rock bottom
