Recommended Posts

 Hi Guys, the guy who were scamming people back in 2020, is at it again, now going by the name of Mitchell Barrett.  Attached are previous complaints about him as well as the message he sent me. Thanks to the guys who posted the previous alertsScreenshot_20240313_133418_Gmail.jpg.8684a4f7e18a343d288f232929dd028f.jpgScreenshot_20240313_133418_Gmail.jpg.8684a4f7e18a343d288f232929dd028f.jpgScreenshot_20240313_133437_Gmail.jpg.27cb0d73f56046f214be081926d87598.jpgScreenshot_20240313_131643_Chrome.jpg.1784955b86c22e70ba4810f7fd2093c5.jpg

The usual way too often used "working offshore on an oil rig and want to surprise his cousin" nonsense. How dumb/brave is this guy? 

Also how dumb/brave does he think other people are. Amazeballs🙄

Its not a a guy , its 10000's of them that use the same copy paste on 100's of mails they send every hour 

 

If one of those bites then they really pull out as evident from the above

Hi

I'm Mitchell Barrett, Im not selling anything at this time (and haven't for ages)

Feel free to contact me if in doubt.

Take care

But what are you buying...?

 

Have you been pwned perhaps?

Hi also contacted me about my bike for sale via FB Marketplace.
Correction: I think that it was via Gumtree asking for my email address. The contact name there was Principle. And then it was Mitchell Barret via email.

Similar story, but insists on paying via Payoneer.
Somehow logging onto internet banking and doing a normal EFT isn't secure...

Anyway, I said: 'Funds into my FNB account - cleared before the 'pickup agent' collects. Otherwise no deal.'

He didn't like that, so we don't have a deal.

So many red flags one doesn't know where to start.

Problem for me is these guys make my life difficult because I am a seafarer and am legit offshore a lot of the time. Sellers hear that and usually run a mile! 🤣
