Scammer Alert.

[ZA_Survivalist]

I should have made this post a while ago after it took place. Supposedly he is no longer a member on this forum, however I'd strongly suggest no one conducts business with a person by the name of Joseph Masters. Included is a screen shot of his Venmo account.

He scammed me (luckily for only $40) but basically took the money and ran. This isn't baseless flaming of a member. I gave him more than enough time way back plus multiple PM's and a cell number to text.

I post this only because he has added an avatar to his Venmo, meaning he's seen my money request, then denied it, then updated his Venmo account.. the avatar has an AR with tan colored furniture. My thought is, he is using that Venmo account to scam others.
Truly low, trash human behavior. This is why I don't do business with folks from out of state unless they are established members now.

So just in case anyone here sees this, don't conduct business with this guy. You will not get your item or you'll lose your item sending it to him.

If that ^^ is his actual user name it would be a red link to his profile.

When I separated first and last names it came up with member "Joseph".

Seems to be a trend right now.

Hence why face to face for new users is generally a good idea. Those with more feedback I have no issues doing remote transactions.

With AI increasingly being used we will see more and more of this as well.

His old profile was: jj229
I think Joe or a mod 86'd him.
