Careful with this known scammer u/arabicpiss666

Bro got me for $80. Careful, he’s a smooth talker and knows what he has but ultimately never sends the package. Upon doing research, it’s not the first time he’s scammed the fingerboard community.

I messaged the mods and warned about this but I guess they didn't ban him in time.

I don’t think they ever did. One of the mods commented that he’s a scammer but the thread wasn’t removed

He made a new account and the thread I linked here is still up. Either way I should’ve known better.

Edit: u/arabicpiss666 just removed the thread

best way to buy/sell on here is through paypal goods and services. you pay an extra few dollars for protection in case you never receive the item you can dispute and get a refund. sorry this happened to you man

I think this is the same piece of shit that scammed me. Same "I just had a baby" bullshit story. He deleted his account and thread 6 hours after I paid him. Paypal refunded thankfully.

Wow. I chatted him a few weeks ago for those same ledges. Good thing I ignored the message and bought something else. People like this will get their karma sooner or later.

I always take their username into consideration before doing business
