I am new to the forum and had the same experience with this guy yesterday. Tried posting the warning this am with links but said I couldn’t because I didn’t have enough posts (need 10) so I just replied to a bunch of threads to get my posts up so here goes.
I’m in the market for a new blnr and saw this guys post on the classifieds. Posts 13K in original post see below:

Few days later drop to 11.5K (red flag #1)
I email him offering 10.8K he accepts right away. (Red flag #2)
Wants only a wire which I am not comfortable with. I offer a F2F he declines.
Now I know it’s as shady as can be so I just want to expose him. Tell him I want to proceed. He sends me bank info with the name Larry Gregg Smith. Lives in FL. US Bank bank account with routing #. I google Larry Gregg Smith and I find this:

I continue my investigation lol by googling the routing # which is a US Bank in Minneapolis, MN. And the guy lives in Miami?? Wayyyyyy too many red flags here. I email him back this morning telling him deal off and attach the link above with the Larry Gregg Smith story and he never even replied to me! This guy is a old fashioned con artist and should be thrown off the forum.
Just wanted to get this out there ASAP!!
