Meso 38 #1 April 15, 2014 The following user has been reported as a scammer. The user has been linked to other usernames which were also advertising scam ads on dropzone.com. PLEASE NOTE: The ads are often generic and copied and pasted from other legitimate ads. Be careful as these sellers are sometimes able to provide extra images for the items they're 'selling' and appear legitimate. Again be suspicious of broken English, especially when the seller claims to be from a native English speaking country. Do not do business with the following username: Username: ericping Below is an example of a scam ad submitted by this user prior to removal. Keep a look out for similar formatted ads from other users too. The user has been using various names in conjunction with their ads.

Meso 38 #3 April 16, 2014 It was reported by a user who had communicated with the 'seller'. It's formatting is also consistent with previous scammers. They tend to use the same format for the scam ads with the same wording. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
