Camelman is a SCAMMER

[Boomstickin]

Hello Fellow LRHF Members;

2 weeks ago I was in search of a Nightforce NX8 1-8x24 MOA Scope, I had multiple offers & chose Camelman's offer. Very nice, LNIB rendition of what I was looking for, he needed the $$$ for back surgery & I wanted a new optic for an AR/Safari Caliber platform. Fast Forward to Sunday the 24th, when it donned on me that this guy's story wasn't adding up. He needed $$$ for back surgery, then he had a loss of family member, followed by having a friend of his in a state (North Carolina) that doesn't border his own (Ohio)….send me a check for a refund on my Certified Cashier's Check that I CANCELED & the funds never cleared my account..,..nothing gained, nothing lost! However, I received a check in the mail today in FULL from an address in SAN DIEGO. The check has been handed over to local law enforcement & these guys are now on the RADAR! Karma always comes full circle on these loser's, just know that I'm going to do my part to see to it that is exactly what these clown's deserve!

Attached are picture of the whole deal (minus the return check, can not show for due to the investigation). Will release that on this thread once I have permission.

Thanks for sharing.

So what does he get out of sending you a $14k check?

 

[Boomstickin]

If I go to cash it, he will get money that he has scammed from other entities….I'm not a SCAMMER, not up to par on how these transaction work but someone is getting PAID.

I guess I'm not understanding-- if you cash the check how does he get $ ?

Wouldn't you end up with his $?

That's the whole SCAM right there…I cash check & the organization launder's money from other accounts that are fraudulent…hence the term, "Mail Fraud!"

This is a major problem in the world, cost banks billions of dollars investigating & chasing down these joker's….which in turn costs the rest of us living within' the lines money to have secured accounts, lines of credit, insurance, etc.

I guess I'm missing something -- you sent $1400, yet cancelled the check before it cleared...so you paid/lost nothing--- then this guy sends you $14000-- if you cashed it you would then have gained $14000 and someone would have lost it... how does he gain anything or launder anything.

I'm not saying I would cash the check either but why would he chance loosing $14000 if you cashed it and kept it?

It is a "phony check" associated to someone's real information that this person has hacked & would benefit from if I chose to cash the check. Gotta think outside the box, people who are apart of crime syndicates go to extreme lengths to achieve their goal of defrauding the system. It is less about the info on the check or where it came from & more about having access to those accounts digitally.

Those of us who are not criminally inclined have a hard time understanding the "operating procedure" because we don't think or come up with ways of screwing people or the system!

Hmm...still not seeing how it would benefit anyone else, unless he were to ask you to send the "extra" back to him.

The same guy reached out to me on a add I had looking for a nightforce scope. He sent me some pictures by text but something felt off and he has no trader history so I asked if I could talk to him on the phone. It took days for him to respond to that. I ended up getting one from a different well known member in the day's waiting for his response. I guess I got lucky.

Hmmm, based on my conversation with a local detective…what I'm telling you is directly relayed from Law Enforcement that investigates & pursues "Mail Fraud" violators!
