Scammer alert for the community - jfdeperezel@gmail.com

I currently have a Hulk for sell and received interest from a "John Perczel" from North Carolina. He requested for a picture of the watch along with "today's date" and "his email address". I said well, if you like me to do that, let me first see a copy of your driver's license.

This is what he sent me:





You can figure the rest out. These scammers are running rampant and needs to get a life. His email is jfdeperezel@gmail.com.

Driver's license looks legit...The bottom right corner looks questionable.

Good call not going through. The sad thing is that is probably a stolen license and the guy in the pic has his pic and address associated with scamming, I can't see why he would show his real address , very sad

Driving Licence will be stolen, No way he would send his photo and address.

GREAT CALL!
