Reporting scam artists
You have no way for members to report scam artists only complaints after a transaction takes place. I just received an email from a [email protected] and here is the text of his message.
"Greeting,
I saw your advert and i'm interested in buying your Flair Legionaire (Nieuport 17) for $650.00 .And I'll be paying you through my Associate that is indebted to me in your country?If you are okay by this i will like you to forward me with your full information for the payment such as your full name that will be printed on the cheque, your full address where the check will be send to and also your full phone # ok,Dont worry about the shipment i have a reliable shipping company that will take care of the pick -up for me,anywhere in the world and my mode of payment is through Cashier's Checks or Money Order Once the funds clears, And deducting the cost, can I trust you to send the rest of the amount to my shipper through western union money transfer so that he can come for the pick up ontime (i.e the Residue fund) to my shipper whom will take care of the pick up. Let me know as soon as possible, so that I can get in touch with my client.
Thanks for your co-operation while anticipating your earliest response.
hoping to hear from you ASAP.

In this scam they send you a fake check for an excess amount and you are supposed to return the excess after cashing it, which makes you the responsible party for refunding the banking institution were you cashed the check and the buyer is now welthier.
I suggest you open a direct contact email to report these thiefs.

RE: Reporting scam artists
Does anyone know RCU member "Playerpete" L.A,CA. I think his name is Peter (Noon)? His phone # is 213 255-1418. He was supposed to meet me in Bakersfield CA. to buy my BVM Bobcat Turbine jet. Our emails and phone conversations made me suspicious of this transaction. I drove to Bakersfield which is 165 miles one way and NO PETER. He didn't answer his cell phone. He did contact me during my trip to Bakersfield but I'm not sure if he was in Bakersfield when he made the call. I did tell him I was 20 minutes away from Bakersfield. We had arranged to meet near an overpass that we both knew. He had the email with meeting location. After waiting about a half hour and calling his cell phone and getting nothing but leave a message, I left Bakersfield for the next 165 mile trip home. As of the writing I have not heard from Peter. This happened today 19 Aug. 2009. Any HELP or information about this person would be appreciated.
