scammer...?

Frank Davis

Any one heard of this guy or got e mailed by him?
frank_energy@yahoo.com

I think this guy is a scammer so i thought I would run him by you guys/girls.

Edit: the e mail address is solely for IDing the guy,I have a hard time remembering names but a e mail address I never foreget. some of you might remember the e mail address but not the name. Thanks

Well...what experience are you having to lead you to believe he's scamming? The name and e-mail actually seem vaguely familiar, but I can't for the life of me recall why. But then again, familiarity often means nothing in my seive of a memory-bank!

The fact that he is offering me any all python (even morphs) I want for $150 flat... sounds fisshy to me so I thought I would see if any one has had a run in with him befor.

LOL....definitely sounds fishy. Did you ask him what he means by "even morphs?"

Is he the guy that moved in next to you? I dont know anything about him, sorry.

no some one who e mailed me, the guy next door is getting ready to go to Iraq next week.

Any ball morphs for $150?

Then yes, he's a scammer!

Simple example, why would he sell you a $20K ball for $150 when he can get 20K?

YES!

He's been emailing me, also.

He offered me a female pastel ball for 100.00

And wanted me to send my Bank Account info to him.

He said "yea, Ill take 200 for my albino ball.

And he sent me, what looked like fake, copy righted photos. I told him to get lost.

Heh...yeah, that's what I was thinking too. See if I could string him along long enough to get enough info on him to turn it over to the police.

:devilish: Im doint that as we speak

I highly doubt the police would do anything.

All you can really do is block his email and report spam.

"Phishing" in e-mail is highly illegal. It's not about someone trying to rip someone off by misrepresenting the snakes they are selling....it's about someone trying to get bank account information through a fraudulent e-mail. That's what the police would go after.

They have certain officers for stuff like this in most police districts.

Oh. Then thats good. He hasnt emailed me in a day, so im gonna leave it alone and some one else will report him overtime....

Maybe he read through the forums :confuzd:

he stoped e mailing me but I got enough info on him to put his scamming butt in jail.. thanks to a god friend of mine I got all of this guys info right off of his computer. funny what things people leave on there computer. :devilish:

All I will say is the guy is from Africa, 38 years old and looks like he has gotten quite a few people to send him bank account info. I my self am not going to submit the info that was found on him Im leaving that to other people I know.

:D
BTW I am a computer Tech

The only reasion i did this was because he did ask for my account info. So far he is the only scam artist that asked for that.
I dont want any one getting scamed or taken advantage of.
Sorry :)

He asked for mine too.



I asked him why, and his reply was, "I need your account number and info so I can reconize your funds, when you send me my money for the snakes.



A bunch of BS in his emails.



He's like this can be a good thing, We can help each other out and such.



I told him get lost...:cens0r:

Ha Ha Ha LOL he said almost the same thing... "Maybe we could do good for each other if you do this, You help me for helping you" BS. I dont take to kindly to people like this Jack !@# trying to rob people.

I got one of those from Greece for a horse I've posted for sale. Definitely this guy was Phishing you.


U go girl! :thumbsup:

Definitely NO need to apologize! Scam alerts are important. We have a lot of young people here who might not recognize something like this and fall for it. Thanks for the heads up!!

I've got a link to Fauna about another scammer and what they did to string HIM along. Is it ok to post it for the purposes of this thread and a similar scam? I'm still trying to understand the new TOS on posting links.

Yes, go ahead and post it. So long as the link gives info we don't have...leads to meaningful discussion...and is not for the intent of slamming another forum or persons in that forum (starting a forum war)....that's fine.

I just got news that "Christan Vahrie Jabar" of South Africa is being charged with 38 counts of Internet Theft, and countless acts of etempt.

Thought you all would like to know that :D

Well it could not happen to a better scumbag :gj: .

Here's a similar scam that was reported on Fauna that shows how the original poster strung the scammer along:

He should of moved to Nigeria shouldn't he! LOL

LOL yeah really. He picked the wrong female dog to mess with. It is one thing to try and get some one to send you money for something you really dont have, but ask my my bank account info and you fry.

Not to get off topic, but does anyone get the emails from someone in an African Country, claiming to need your help to access funds?
Usually its some kind of claim that the money they have inherited/received is tied up somehow, and they need you to get in contact with their financial liason, and give them your acct info so they can transfer the money and you get a 10-15% cut of an amount in the tens-hundreds of thousands.. Obviously I never fall for this kind of crap, but there are some who might, and it seems it should be illegal....

Or am I the only one that gets these emails? Next one I get, Ill copy it on here :)

Those Nigerian scammers have been around for a while. I think most people have gotten one as some point in time. Check out www.snopes.com . One of my favorite sites for the real scoop on urban legends, internet scams, etc..

I urge everyone to reference this site before sending out one of those chain letters about the sick kid or the government planning to charge us for sending emails.

Sorry to go off topic!

I get ones that say that a family member has died in africa and they need my account info to deposet funds in to my account. each time I fry them .. .I know it is different people each time because I totaly fry there computer and about 2 days later I get another e mail from a different bank.. It has gotten to the point that I just stop frying CPUs abd block the senders...

Wow! I'd LOOOOVE to know how to toast a CPU....even my ex who worked IT for a BIIIIIIIG electronics / computer company, and my sister who did IT for a SW company didn't know how to do THAAAAT.


:sigh2: Why does everyone else get to have all the fun??? ;)

But to answer the other question....yeah, the "Dr." from (pick a country) who needs the money to get his inheritance, :blahblah: :blahblah: (ad nauseum) they're VERY frequent (STILL!!) and will continue to happen as long as ppl are gullible and continue to send the money. The internet cafes overseas are so thick, that even when (IF) the authorities catch one of the scammers, there are oodles more to take his place.

One of the biggest tipoffs is the really crappy spelling and grammar. First thing our IT security taught us to look for. :D

Well when it comes to "frying CPUs" I really cant tell you how to do it. at least not on here. . . My husband actualy tought me how to do it. There is also another fun trick to pull... you can burn a message in to a computer screen while killing the CPU... My husband fryed my old computer and burned into the screen "I LOVE U" right after that I knew i was going to marry him :D

You have to use a Virus to fully kill the CPU caulsing it to over heat, same with the Burning of the screen. But that is all i will say :D

Nice :gj:

Mess with Jess.... get fried like the rest! :)

LOL Im really not that mean :P It takes ALOT to get me to the point of killing a CPU :crash:... but enough talk about that. SO yeah ....
