For Sale BUYER BEWARE Zelle

[grantctobin]

There's a poster (admin account hacked) that is allegedly selling Perdix computers. It is a scam, at least according to Pete/Chairman. Sphyon is Jerry. He's posing as a Robert Ford. It's fake. Thread responses deleting and reappearing. Fret not, I didn't buy, but I think he scammed a few people couple days ago.

Further snips.

Yep, saw this and he is only accepting zelle. Offered to meet up in Orlando and he wouldn’t do it. Do not buy

 

[grantctobin]

I think he tried this from diff account on Sunday and stiffed 2-3 people. Has a mod account. @The Chairman

Ya I feel for the other one a few days ago. Fortunately was able to get my bank to make a stop payment on the PayPal payment so didn’t lose anything.

same pictures etc.

 

[The Chairman]

We're working on this guy.

Saw the Sunday posting and literally looked over the wife and said "WAY too good to be true...". Feel bad for those who fell prey to this sort of scumbag. Sounds like The Chairman has some hard work ferreting out this person if he/she can make admin accounts on the fly...

When you say "Sphyon is Jerrry" does it mean this Jerry is/was a SB member?
That would suck big time, is bad enough to have outsiders try to screw with the members here (or everywhere) but I figure there's a lower level of skepticism when dealing with a board member. People truly suck.

I believe Jerry is the real world owner of the account and is/was an active participant in the forums. Someone has hacked his account.

Ok , thanks for clarifying. Still not great, but at least is not a member actively screwing here.
