"Harrjaso" Be Careful F serial GMT on Classifieds today!!

So I inquire with the seller "Harrjaso" who has an F series 16710 pepsi for $5800.00 this morning. I call & speak too him..not a very re assuring call as he has trouble communicating & the call is broken up. I text & ask for references, he requests my email so he can provide references. About 5 minutes later I receive an email from "Takuya" stating that in fact Jason "harrjaso" is an A+ seller & proceed with confidence. The email looks legit I even check my records & it shows it is from in fact Than do Takuya's correct email. Not just taking that at face value I generate my own email to Takuya asking if he provided this feedback for Jason "harrjaso" & after I forward the email to Takuya he points out that I have to reply to the email & it than shows it was from "bitharh_84@hotmail.com"
NOT CORRECT as Takuya's correct email is: bithanh_84@hotmail.com .
The thing that got me is that my email server even lumped the bogus emails & correct emails together & also on the email it showed it came from the correct address.. not until I replied did it show.
This guy is pretty good with being registered since 2014 with tons of posts & GTG pictures etc. Patient & determined he is!!
Once agin "if the deal seems to good to be true" :)
Do Not be fooled by Harrjaso!!!

Thanks
Justin

Hold your horses a bit.

You only reported this a few minutes ago and we're just supposed to take your unspecific (in the PM) report as gospel.

Well now it's been removed, so it is important for those in the know to elaborate on the particulars of this scam.

Overlooked the fact that this account could have been

Compromised. My apologies to the account holder if I threw you under the bus.
I was just looking at the registered user's history & on some of his posts he has his full name & a different phone # than the one that was on the fraudulent post toady; which the seller went back & edited because when I checked the phone # was gone.

So this being the case & the account was taken over by a scammer.. than my apologies to the registered user. Sorry this has happened to you.

Thanks
Justin

It didn't happen to him, he did it to himself by giving up his login details to a scammer/phisher. Sympathy should be saved for anyone who gets ripped off because of his carelessness.

Nobody has even been HACKED on the forums as far as I can tell.

Plenty have been duped into handing over passwords (or even tens of thousands of dollars, heartbreakingly) to scumbags with an email who pretend to be someone else.

Bit scary out there. Be careful always. If it means someone gets pissed with you, never mind.
