shadowmoses2119 PM'ed me about an hour ago asking me if i wanted to trade with him, so i IM'ed him on AIM (he uses the same name for both) and this is our convo

xtheysayjumpx hey.......what you wanna trade for?
shadowmoses2119 wat u got
xtheysayjumpx well im looking for freeipods, but i can sign up for most sites
shadowmoses2119 ca u do photo ipods
xtheysayjumpx yeah
shadowmoses2119 ok
xtheysayjumpx can you do freeipods?
shadowmoses2119 yea
xtheysayjumpx cool......youll have to green 1st though, you know that right?
shadowmoses2119 wat if i do a offer and show
xtheysayjumpx and show what?
shadowmoses2119 a offer i completed
xtheysayjumpx ummm.....thats fine but im not going to signup under you until you go green for me
shadowmoses2119 na ive been scammed
shadowmoses2119 sorry
xtheysayjumpx so have i.....im sorting out my trade karma with vulcan300 at the moment.....you're a noob and the rules are that you have to green 1st
shadowmoses2119 ok
xtheysayjumpx ok?
shadowmoses2119 think about it
shadowmoses2119 sorry to risky
xtheysayjumpx shouldnt I be the one saying that?
shadowmoses2119 no i am going first i said i will?
shadowmoses2119 u have nothing to lose i put more on the table
xtheysayjumpx were both putting the same on the table....if anyone is putting more on the table its me by risking a trade when you could easily just cancel the offer you sign up for as soon as ive gone green for you and then i dont get credit
shadowmoses2119 ?
shadowmoses2119 u can to
shadowmoses2119 the only diff is im am going first everthing eles u can do
xtheysayjumpx yeah your going 1st but your not GREENING 1st....what good is a yellow to me?
shadowmoses2119 i am going green i am doing an INSTANT OFFER
xtheysayjumpx ok good....ill signup under you when you go green
shadowmoses2119 i said ill show u prof
xtheysayjumpx youll show me proof that youve gone green?.....showing me proof that youve signed up is about as useful to me as a brick on fire
shadowmoses2119 how when the date and time is on it
shadowmoses2119 ?
shadowmoses2119 tthat is as good as goin green
xtheysayjumpx if you were a legit trader then you would know, understand and comply with the rules of the trading post.......its not "as good as going green" as good as going green is ACTUALLY going green.
shadowmoses2119 ok il do it

xtheysayjumpx you know what dont bother
shadowmoses2119 ok

shadowmoses2119 signed off at 32520 AM.

he actually gave me an AIM warning just as he signed off lol....i read a conversation just like this during the week, between someone else and a scammer......they seem very similar....anyway, approach with caution, scammers have be known to misspell on a regular basis.

yeah shadowmoses007, obviously the same person, got me on msnm and wanted to trade. i asked what he wanted and he said "ipod", i asked do "you mean freeipods.com?". he then replied and said "yeah", i told him thats what i needed to and that i cant do it twice. then he said that he actually hadn't done freeipods and that he meant phreeipods. i immediately considered this guy shady and said i wasnt interested. he kept trying to convince me he wasnt a scammer and that he would show me "proof' that he completed an offer, he wouldnt go green frist. so yeah definitely watch out for this guy.

Holy thank you! He just pm'ed me with the weirdest message, and I quote. "hi wanna trade" The end. haha...Then I said what do you want to trade, and he tells me to talk to him on AIM. No thanks. So thank you for the warning.

he wanted to trade with me too, but I said he must go green first....he didn't seem to happy about that, but offered proof. Seemed like a scammer to me.

Whooaa whoooa. I just did a trade with blackthug881 on aim yestterday. He went first to sign up and he signed up for efax. For proof, he showed me a print screen of the welcome info from efax. It looked legit. It had the right date and time. It didn't seem like a fake one where he edit some stuff.
I really want to post the picture here but I tried and it didn't work and i put a link but the link gives a small picture and I couldn't zoom in.
so if someone could tell me how to i will post or maybe u can just IM on aim Flipboy712 and I will direct im connect with you.

Please tell me he isn't a scammer. ( I was relying on his green for my gf's freeipodshuffle. If he is, I will cancel efax, which was my offer i did, righ away to prevent him from receiving a green from me.
Thanks

EDIT see my post below. I mentioned something about user theysayjump (to steer clear due to suspected scamming).

Apparently he's just going through the member list and spamming everyone's PM box. I just got one from him and I wouldn't have wasted my time with him even if I hadn't seen this thread.

you know there's nothing i can do for people who fall for those ridiculous schemes, if you got scammed, which you obviously did, i cant do a single thing about it. print screen for proof, i mean, cmon really.

[quoted93ddd425b="chillywilly"]theysayjump is most likely the same jumpman7722 that a few of us he tried to do an offer with. The same text, the same words he uses.

I'd steer clear.[/quoted93ddd425b]

yeah thanks for that chilly willy......does that make you willy wonka cos you have willy in your name? is your favourite colour purple?......thats kinda low saying that in a public post when you have no actual proof that we are the same person......i joined about 3 weeks before jumpman7722.....why would i make another name to scam people on, and then keep a legit name to do proper trades with?.......id appreciate it if you would edit/delete that post.

Yeah, you're right... i don't have proof you are the same person, but the text in the posted AIM convo has a lot of simlarities to the AIM convo I had with jumpman7722.

Regardless, if it helps, I'll edit my post till I have other proof.

The fact that he didn't want to wait until he turned green makes sense though to me. I mean you don't have any Trade Record points either, so who's to say you wouldn't screw him?

The rest is a bit fishy though.

ive had 3 successful trades so far, 1 with lifeisanapple (he even signed up and greened 1st) page 16 of the good traders list post, 1 with kdollar on page 22 of the good traders list post and another GixxerMike which he scammed me out of my freedesktoppc ref after i signed up under his freePSP link. like i said, why would i make 2 names, one to scam and one to trade with legit....does that make sense to anyone? cos it doesnt to me.
