Be cautious with PureCoconut
Posted in the “WTB” section & PureCoconut reached out. Offered a BLRO for $21,000. Definitely a bargain seeing that it’s going for a bit more. I countered with 20k in ETH (Crypto) & he accepted.
I mentioned that his references weren’t that great, he had 1 & he proceed to share his address with me. Funny thing is that he claims he is in San Francisco & I happen to be planning a holiday there & arrive there tomorrow, 10/21 & mentions he is willing to meet F2F. I’m fairly open to doing it at this point but I request a photo & timestamp for that extra verification that’ll give me a peace of mind. Here’s what he sent me. Already seemed fishy/photoshopped so I sorted through his post history. Age doesn’t really add up & posts seem off. Maybe he can come in here & prove that he is indeed legit. He seems pretty “active” but still I’m cautious. |

I don't get it, am I missing something? The pic isn't clear enough for me to say its photoshopped.
He has done everything you asked but you think the photo of his head doesn't match that of his body (he doesn't even state that it is a picture of him in the post). So you have gone all in and warned people to be cautious of him. Don't get me wrong, he could be a scammer for all I know but innocent until proven guilty. |

Jim - look at the box pic. Note the sign with the name and date is perfectly flat, and perfectly aligned, almost "dead" somehow
Now try to replicate that using actual objects - virtual impossible I'm not saying the sale is good or bad - just that the picture looks photoshopped to me .... |

Somebody hacked my account. I've never owned the pepsi on jubilee. Picked up pepsi on oyster just last week. Tourneau, Moda, and other TRF members can vouch for me. That post is 100% a scam!!
Mods can you please tell me next steps! |
