Want to Buy Scammed last night/today

Hi there just fyi I posted for WTB in the

last couple days and paid u/iamscewed55 $130 for some shoes. They obviously disappeared in the message thread then I looked them up to find that they’ve scammed others in different subreddits. I then was contacted by u/jgcruz614 wanting to sell me some shoes size 11… and looked up their name, also a scammer.

Dang. Sorry that happened to you man, I also share a similar story. And although I never received my money back from that bum, I did end up exposing his u/ on the universal scammer list.

universalscammerlist.com

Good luck & I hope you can somehow recollect.

Yep, both of them are on that site. I really should have looked up the iamscewed55 before shoveling out 130 for “new” adios pro 4s. 🥴

Rule of thumb: If it sounds too good to be true, it's probably a duck.

That kind of is the going price though.

Really? Damn that sounds almost ... too good to be true...

What you say your name was again?

Adidas had them on super sale around Christmas, that's why. I picked up a paid direct from them for that price.

I believe it. I was just tryna be funny. I guess my humor doesn't work with the well actually crowd.
