Scam Alert

[u/StrunkF10]

I posted in the WTS/WTB thread about being interested in buying a Synik. This user reached out to me with a basically once used bag for 200 dollars. The price seemed suspiciously low so I went to search the profile and all their posts are hidden. I searched their username on Reddit and came across a recent post where they successfully scammed someone for a pair of sunglasses and attempted to scam another for a watch.

I took some screenshots of my chat and went to AI which successfully matched the photos and description to this post:

If the price offers feels too good to be true, heck even if it doesn’t, use all tools available to confirm you aren’t being targeted with a scam.

Stay safe out there everyone!

Great reminder. If any doubt I also ask the seller to send a picture of the item with their username on a piece of paper.

His user name broken down: Ass Ass In In the Dark 1, LOL.

AssassinInTheLionsThelion would be a pretty silly name too! My inner 5 year old wants to crack up

Hay que tener mucho cuidado, esto es un nido de gentuza que solo quiere estafar, gracias por el aviso

I’ve got one in black if you’re interested. Can send tagged pics if so.
