Hairy Posted September 7, 2022 Share 20 hours ago, Ruben Hechter said: I was contacted by someone who was interested in a bike I was selling. Started getting a bit dodgy to me and I asked for an photo of his/her ID. The person than actually sent me a photo of an ID matching his name. It was a paypal scammer at the end. But these scammers are getting clever and is one step ahead of us by matching their name to the ID. I have no other idea how to check if a person with who I am dealing is a scammer or not. Truecaller helps now and then though🤷♂️ Follow up the id and photo with a live video call Edited September 7, 2022 by Hairy Damned predictive text MTBRIDER1234 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FootballingCyclist Posted September 8, 2022 Share @Matt is there any way to check if any new profiles were created very recently perhaps from the same IP address as you said Lionels profile has now been blocked? I'm pretty sure he will want to come here and see what progression is being made, Like our woodpecker mate Taun Bewsh1tter.. Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't like to give away too much about our fraud prevention systems but yes, we can do a degree of matching. He can see this thread without an account. The forums are on the open internet.

117 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Sure, but to register on Le Hub you need to have an email address of sorts or via fartbook or twatter. Perhaps there is a means via the way he registered on the hub to trace the chap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edereese Posted September 8, 2022 Share I’m starting to think someone close to him could have used his profile to make a quick buck and now he’s scrambling to make it right. Might be wrong, but he’s not running away. Ek weet ook nie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
