Question about mws222

Dear Mods,

I hope all is well. I am currently in the middle of a transaction with mws222, and something happened with his TRF account. Would it be possible to get in touch with anyone to confirm what has happened? Thank you so much in advance and I apologize in advance if this is not the correct way to get in touch with Mods.

I'm guessing you bit on the sub that account had listed? It was 3k or so under market price. Was hoping someone didn't make a mistake and engage on that one.

I was also skeptical. Messaged a dealer and verified fake posting, I really hope no one lost money

I banned the account earlier today, it’s been hacked. If you’ve sent any money reverse your transactions ASAP. The listing has been removed.

Hi Tim,

Thank you very much for the response. Is there any way to get in contact with MWS222? I have wired him the payment this morning unfortunately. Would really appreciate your help.

The person you sent the payment to is not mws222, the real mws222 account was hacked by a scammer. The real owner of the account has to contact TRF administration and go through steps to verify his identity before the account can be reinstated, this can take several days or longer.
If you aren’t able to reverse your payment I would suggest you contact your local police Dept. In PA we have a department within the state attorneys general office who look into these crimes. I’m not sure if you have that where you are or not.

Hi Tim,

Thank you very much for the advice. Yes, I will try all things possible from my end. Apologies, it is quite a nerve wrecking experience right now.
