The first tip off was this person responding as Bert with an email name of Jefferson Ross. Unfortunately with massive data breach of Social Security in 2023 almost everyone's info is on the dark web. I did a search and found much of my info out there even though I've always been super careful.
 
Lots of scamming going on Ronnie it seems like every time I buy or sell anything on IW I get a strange text from buyer or seller when the people on IW don't even know my text info
 
I think I might have gotten scammed by Bryan Haley . I think that I might have just sent 50.00 from a money request he sent to me that I was paying for a friend that owed Bryan. Sure does all add up to the Chris Doherty and the Bryan/Christine Calabrese that scammed me and everybody a couple years ago on here. You will notice Chris Doherty sent a few payments to this account in July . I didn't realize it until after I paid and went back to confirm it. I noticed also that Bryan is from Nj and also that is where we found out that Chris Doherty and his wife and the Bryan Calabrese lived.

Darn it got me for another 50 on top of the 500 he got me for on 2 motors a couple years ago.

He was supposed to ship out a os vf motor to Jorn that he bought from him as well Jorn said also he had already sent Bryan a bunch of engine parts for payment to him and he has not shipped his motor out yet. This all just seems too familiar.
I am just sick that this guy got me and Jorn again.

Edit... I just received a PM from him saying he got it and that the account was his step sons account. What the heck is going on.......

I sent him a money request for the 50 back a hour even before he sent the pm saying he had received the money. I am sure he saw me ask for a refund and didn't mention it on the pm. Something is not right about all this for sure.

He actually sent the money back to me the 50 why?.... and he said to tell Jorn he did and that he is not trying to scam anybody.
It just would be too unlikely that he is someone different than Bryan Calbrese and the Chris Doehrty and them living in the same state. Also him saying that is his step sons account and then he sends it back to me.

Its kind of blowing my mind...

I guess he needs to just come on here and clear it all up then if its a different person than the scammer . I don't have a problem admitting I am in the wrong if so. Maybe once Jorn gets back to me and I think he will have his address we can compare it to the ones we found in the chris doherty thread.

All,

Attached is what I received via Text Message after posting on the 2x MAC 45 correspondence yesterday with Mr. Peters.

Unfortunately this is going to be an ongoing thing and not just here on IW. If you are not dealing with a trusted member with a proven track record do NOT send payments using Paypal as friend, Zelle or any other that does not protect you to some degree. Also when you receive something like this report and forward it to Paypal using [email protected] email address. There isn't a day that goes by anymore that I don't have some email showing up saying stuff like my McAfee, Bank of America, Chase or some other institution that I don't even use is being cancelled or whatever. People need to be on their toes when making transactions no matter where it is.

Exactly!
My son in law recently fell victim to one from Chase, he came to visit from his home state, and while he was here, he got something on his phone from Chase about his card being used in another state.
Thinking it was legit, he went to the link in the text ( first mistake) and then logged in with his username and password. ( second mistake)
The site then started asking him all sorts of questions about his background..

By the time he mentioned it to me, I knew what it was, a phishing scam… it was too late..
They had already logged in to his real Chase account and changed the password.
Maybe 5 minutes later.

It took almost a day working with Chases fraud department to undo the damage that one text caused,,, thankfully he got everything secured because he acted quickly..

So yeah…. Be very vigilant about your transactions, take nothing for granted.
