Weird Interaction on the Forum...

[Ric-san]

I won't give the guy's name, but I had a very strange interaction on here. Some guy left an ad and wanted to sell something. I private messaged him about it, and then he said he had another one of the same item. He said he'd sell them both for a set price, then he didn't contact me for a day or so. Then when he did, he gave a completely different price, a much higher price, than the original price he said. He then ho-hummed and beat around the bush and wouldn't give me a place to meet. He then says: "Let me think on it." Then he texts me some strange pictures, and some weird stories. He gave me a lot of TMI (too much information). Then he tells me even more things that I just don't need to know! ...Like how much money he makes, and what he does in his spare time, and how he dislikes his wife, etc. It was very, very CREEPY!

I told him I didn't need what he was selling, and to have a nice day. He then sent me even more pics of the items. And, then ended with: "Have a nice evening." Why would he send me more pics of the things he wasn't going to sell me?

So, with all that stated...

FYI, to anyone on this forum: If you are REALLY SELLING stuff, then sell it. Don't lead people on! And, don't try to change the prices to higher than what you have set in the ads. OKAY??? Also, meet and sell asap. Don't leave people hanging. This was the WORST experience I've had on this forum. Made me wonder if the guy was real or A.I., or if he was an "agent" of some three-letter organization, or if he was just a complete JERK! Either way, I'll not be doing any deals with that guy!
I would love to tell you who he was, but I'll take the high ground and not mention his name. I will say that he hasn't sold much on this forum though, (looks like a newbie to me), and he told me that he's still trying to do some deals with others on here.

I hope you don't come across him!

With that said, before this, I've never had a bad experience. Everyone was so nice. But this guy took the cake! Please don't give your personal information to others, especially if you don't know them! Don't tell them your personal history or how much money you have, or have made, in the past couple of months. We DO NOT need to know what your financial background is. Okay?

I still don't know why he tried to share that with me. It was SOOOOOOOO CREEEEEEEPY! He even sent me a picture of wads of cash. I'm like "WHAT???" I don't care how much money the guy has!!! That's none of my business!

So be alert. Situational awareness!

That's all I have to say.

Thanks for the haeads up brother…

Glad the mods blocked him. They probably saved you from being raped and locked in a hog pen! Probably would have been a good Oprah episode though.
