Neither of those names seem familiar in the 10+ years I've been on this Forum.  It would be helpful to know the way in which this occurred.  The date, the item(s), the means (Ebay, Amazon etc.) and anything relevant to the transaction (or lack there of). That way if a pattern is recognizable others may see it.

As I have said before, just asking for a picture and their Pinto club name will get rid of most every time.

Unfortunately the odds of it being a real name aren't very good. Most the time scammers give false information cannot be tracked. And the sad truth is there is no real way of knowing since fraudsters tend to be one step ahead. The only to know for sure is do business with someone you know, in person, or do business with someone many people have done business with before. Worked in a few fraud departments for banks and found how good they are at their craft. They steal for a living. A horrible way to live, but true unfortunately.

I got scammed too by some low life in the San Francisco area last year he used the name Esteban terecki the cops here wouldn’t do anything either,  I should have known better . Moral of the story..  be very cautious who you deal with and never use western union to send money

I don't think any of these low life's are members. They simply look at our classified and post their scam. A lot of the web sites I'm on require you to be a member to look at the classified forum. I think this would be a good idea on this web site.
