Scam artist using fake LEO badge

[FrankT]

No one really bought into this lame scam did they? New to GCGF I guess and never post personal info for public view, guests do not have to register to view topics

I’ve only done 2 deals through the mail and both were with members with great feedback. I prefer to meet face to face the 2 items done by mail were accessories, thanks CrazyDoc & Roasters Gallery

It makes it easier when people post their phone numbers in these public threads. At least try to keep that stuff in the private messages.

I would definitely be leery of anyone using their LE Credentials for private, Non Departmental purchases. The exception of course would be providing them to a dealer for "Blue Label" purchases.

In my humble opinion, we have issues if you need to boost your credibility as a buyer/seller by resorting to using a badge.

Well, yes definitely be on the lookout for this guy or others who try such ridiculous schemes. In reading those screenshots , about a half dozen red flags went up with me and I would’ve just walked away from that. I’m sorry that you didn’t and the man stole your money but we have to be more careful about what we fall for. Everytime I post a WTB item, you get stupid responses with an email and guy saying his stepfather’s brothers sisters nieces uncles nephew has one of those and you should reach out to him. I don’t even respond to those. I wish you good luck getting your money back…

Balo78 did that just now to me. Sent me message saying a person in Minnesota had one with an email. Beware.

Google Maps street view of the address on the driver's license (85 Lewis Fairway Circle, Oakland, TN). Maybe he's in the Witness Protection Program.

I read recently that anyone can request that Google blur out their house, so I'm pretty sure that he asked for his house to be blurred out. He's a crafty one, and trying all angles to cover his tracks,

It works, it sends us (mods) the content for review.
