    Watch for "Want to Buy" Scammers

    Wondered if anyone else on early911S has come across Robert Levick, under the forum name Speciall? I have recently tried to purchase some goods from this gentleman and I am having trouble obtaining the items that I have paid for.

    Just a gentle heads up.....

    Just a guess, his paypal account was "dormant" and you had to send the money through Western union?

    Sounds familiar, would be interested to understand if anyone else has had dealings and actually received their parts.....as I am now convinced I will not see the parts I have paid for

    I got a PM from him after I posted in the WTB section. I didn't reply, had a feeling it was our resident scammer with new account. Sorry to hear he got you...

    Robert Levick wanted me to send him money to his wife via Money Gram. Since I have never sent money via Money Gram, he even provided me places close to my home where I could go to purchase the money gram!
    Well, after reading these posts, and some PM's to others, I've decided to post this guys scam here as well as Mark111.

    Thanks Mark111 and others for reporting these crooks.

    I'm new to this site so before I buy anything I run a search on their name and the Scum comes to the Top! Jim

    One indication of scammers to me is their poor use of English, sometimes it's good but never native tongue. And wanting bank transfers or western union. I always offer to collec the parts or have a close by " friend " do so. May they rot in 5hit for the rest of their days.
