Beware of suspicious activity by scammers on this forum

Hello All,

I want to make you all of aware of people acting like a seller of an item but are not the seller. Not the seller will try to scam you out of your money! They usually will Target people who respond to member's post on an item that is being sold. They will even use photos from the original post to scam you.

I know this as I was scammed out few hundred dollars for an item that I was interested in buying. Please use Payal to pay for item as you have a better chance to get your money back vs using Zelle or Venmo or Cashapp.

This is the info I have on my scammer:
Username: WayExtra
Actually name: Anthony Cushingberry
Email address: tcushingberry@yahoo.com
Phone: 805-978-5616 (not sure if this number is still valid!)

Let's keep this thread alive by adding other scammers so we are can keep this community safe!

I feel this happen to me, responded about winter rims I was looking for. Another Guy PMd me and said text me at this number. I did not but asked for him to send me his location. He did , next I said your too far and I’m not comfortable paying freight and no seeing them in person prior.

He said I’ll cover the freight. They are perfect.

I said no thanks and he kept at it.

I asked why not post on forum ? No answer.

You're a smart man not go through with buying that item. Yeah he realized you weren't going to buy so that is why he stopped responding to you.

I didn't think to check the original poster username to confirm it's the same person.

I put this post to make sure members are aware of if these scams are happening and together we can stop them.
