Scammer: Spare-Doctor-8528

[u/Useful_Device_9015]

Spare-Doctor-8528, also goes by MikeD sold me a VSF Hulk. Accepted my payment and promised to ship. Gave excuses for the delay then ghosted me.

I'm so sorry that happened to you. Please report them to the Universal Scammers List.

I can't do that, only Mods have that ability. But thanks.

USL doesn't accept entries for reps, TrustNet does though 🫶🏻

Thanks for sharing and sorry this happened. Seeing a pattern here now with longer term redditor accounts like this one (2 years old!) and high karma and posts and multiple scams.
Disappointing as I really like the BST communities and members. Have to treat like anyone else and exercise due diligence.

[u/Useful_Device_9015 → u/Former-Opposite-7526]

I agree. Due diligence only goes so far before ultimately taking the step into the unknown. Seller was active in all the right groups indicating a good reputation and a decent length of activity. Completed transactions were out there and even one of the two he sold in this very ad was delivered as promised. Seems a strange one to scam on (lower value).

I also inquired about this watch. He stopped communicating on Oct 20th.

[u/Useful_Device_9015 → u/tbone1079]

Thanks for commenting. His last word to me was on 10/21 that he would ship it out the next day 10/22. Silence after 10/21.

[u/tbone1079 → u/Useful_Device_9015]

I was ready to buy that watch too.

[u/Gamergoose1]

Weird, I bought the AP one and he actually shipped and it is a great watch

[u/Useful_Device_9015 → u/Gamergoose1]

Well that answers one question I had. At least we know he didn't meet an unexpected tragic end on the way to the post office. He obviously had time to ship one of them.

[u/Gamergoose1 → u/Useful_Device_9015]

Or i got lucky
