Scammer - bridgefire110@gmail.com

Experiencing multi-post(100+) TZ members with positive reference from long time posters - but most likely hacked account. Latest was:

bridgefire110@gmail.com

Avoid this guy.. got me for a few $K and wire instruction was to:
Smith Milan Anderson with BBVA Bank in Utah.

My stupidity for rushing to judgment to buy.

Please do not make same mistake.

Best,

Fred

We learn something new everyday. I just want to remind everyone to verify carefully, be patient and not rush too quick to judgment(even if it appears to be a fair deal and with all the right collector wording). This way, we keep trading fun for all of us.

It is just money. Life moves on.

This BBVA Compass bank seems to have come up before in a scam situation like this. I cannot think of what the situation was but wanted to respond for when I remember.

Sucks that someone took you for $$$. Hope you get it back.

Hi Guys
He's actually trying to scam me now. He also goes by Chris Coque. He sent me an email on a post I have trying to get me to open my post but it's a scam trying to get my password.
Be careful out there.

Just got in touch with me as well about a sub I have advertised on other sites. A search turned up this info on TRF...thanks for the heads up. He tried to get my TZ password via same method.
