Default Warning - named scammer

On the Photrio Photographic Forum a person with a user name of pyreclick has been named after scamming another member out of cash by buying an item of equipment but not paying for it.

I have googled the name and yes this person is known.

John, if he were to try a similar trick here I wouldn't have thought that using the same name or similar details to describe himself is likely

So how do we spot such a person if he decides to try his luck here?

I just googled this name and it mentioned Photrio but said that no further info was available so I could find nothing


Thanks

Mike

It seems he does use the same name and because Photrio' home is not in Europe and these people are not very bright and may try here I thought it better to let everyone know. Apparently he is very convincing and although he promises to send the money asked it never arrives - Now there's a surprise.

Phototrio changed the username to *Scammer* Pyreclick

https://www.photrio.com/forum/member...reclick.99821/

It can be seen easily that he made nonsense comments for getting a number of entries high enough for taking part in the selling fora. At least I guess that.

Unfortunately only by his scammer name. I am not technologically minded enough but there will be a way around it to find out. I googled the name as you did , but then used another browser and came up with another scam warning which was not listed by chrome
