Ditto. Vague response that essentially repeated my specs, with no pic or price.

I'm not one to make accusations without firm proof, but 'Watkins' also PM'd me re my search for Neva Giva Magic Wall, claiming he had one in ST, when I asked. He then proceeded to send me pics from a Japanese re-sale website. All it took was a 30 sec Image search to discover this. I just ignored his offer after that.

Hello. I reported to the forum administrators a scammer that redirect me to the same mattythegunner, telling me he has Joola Panther. He asked me to continue the conversation on email, but I realized the pictures were from the internet. He said his wife has paypal and wants the payment as gifts/friends. He stopped answering when I insisted he should issue a Paypal invoice so I could pay.
Be very careful, might the the same scammer. At least the method is the same. All forum members, we should be vigilent with this scamming method

Another scammer that wanted to sell 2 non existing blades for me. They or him failed when I asked to send me the picture of both blades together with a piece of paper with my name on top. They were sending me Google images with random blades before. I believe they have fake forum profiles and move people to email conversations to complete the scam transaction. ![]() Edited by Stlig - 08/05/2023 at 12:18pm |

A suspected spammer with IP 69.181.68.81 was suspended from this forum.
Use common sense when purchasing equipment from this forum. For example, don't pay for equipment using PayPal as a friend/family (no buyer protection) from members with a minimal track record (e.g., few posts) on this forum. -TPP

morrisondarren239 is a scammer. He does not just work his scams on table tennis forums.
He may also use the email [email protected] Edited by Baal - 05/26/2022 at 10:18pm |

Alert!
Likely scammer who goes by Carlos, with the email [email protected] "Carlos" has a weird paypal email [email protected] that links to someone named Jingjing Xu.
Carlos or Mr. Xu is not a member here. AFAIK but seems to have a connection to a new member here who goes by morrisondarren239 (who is on my radar).

If someone with a Greek address contacts you about a blade, especially any Btfly blade, and is a new member here and cannot send you a legitimate photo of a blade --- a real photo-- not a link to eBay, BE VERY CAUTIOUS!!! Ask for a photo of the blade with a piece of paper with your name on it. Don't get scammed.

Avoid dealing with Erik Zegermacher or Tomas Cicko. They seem to be club mates. Perhaps they form a scamming team. Tomas Cicko scammed (and tried to scam) people in Germany (both on a german forum and on ebay-kleinanzeigen). The bait for a trade was almost always a Timo Boll Spirit (Black Tag). Zegermacher has already been mentioned on this thread in March of 2018.
Zegemacher has used the names "Riky", "Erik" and "Petra". He has used the following IP addresses on table tennis forums. 193.165.237.48 193.165.72.3 178.255.168.33 193.165.236.9 The e-mail address he uses is: [email protected] (when he is "Erik") and [email protected] when he is "Riky".

If anyone is from Lima Peru and can help that would be great. I would like to file a case against him.

I now know that Juan Manuel Calderón Aldana of Lima Peru has scammed at least three members in recent months. It is true that he had successful transactions here earlier but something has changed. He has broken off all communications with everyone who tries to find a solution, including the people he has scammed. He is now banned permanently. He may still try to sell on Facebook or other forums. Don't deal with him, you will lose your money.

OK, I am not entirely sure what is going on, but for now I would recommend not dealing with juanma4080 -- at least not until I get clarification and explanations on him about some issues that have come up. This member lives in Lima, Peru. He has had a couple of deals go bad now and does not respond to my attempts to communicate to get clarification. Edit added. Another member had a problem also. Is he a scammer or is he just really non-responsive and maybe shipping from Lima Peru to other places is intrinsically problematic? I don't know for sure. Right now, though, I am not confident that any deal you make with him will go well. I know his name and address but will not post it yet because I'm not 100% certain exactly what is going on. Edit. Guy's name is Juan Manuel Calderón Aldana. He lives in Lima Peru. Two members have had transactions go very badly and have lostbexpensive blades. He has stopped responding to messages from the two members or to my attempts to contact him. I try to make allowances for Covid-19, (Peru has been very much disrupted). So maybe at some point we will here from him. But for now in my opinion it would be highly risky to buy from him or trade with him. Edited by Baal - 10/27/2020 at 5:30pm |

A whole thread on Greek scammer BHSidespin at TTD. Beware of him. He will be coming back repeatedly. The number of places he has been outed and banned is truly amazing. Here, as recently as today.
If you sniff him out here, let me know.

Be careful of his new disguised name, "NickRos", just bluffing around.

I know when you don't pay friends/family, paypal adds an additional fee for the seller. I think it's like 4-5%. Did you pay him the extra?

The very first post of sidespinBH on that thread you recently locked also appeared on a german forum (same blades, same prices etc.). There he claims to be a 26 yo from Germany. Now, it would be quite dubious for a German to post in english on a (german) forum that is mainly frequented by german speaking people and where 99,9999 % of the posts are written in German. Don't know if he is a "legit"scammer, but it's very dubious to say the least.

SidespinBH has been banned for trying to sell blades he doesn't own. What he was trying was trying to do was actually worse than that sentence sounds.
His real name seems to be Soflokis and he lives in Greece. Edited by Baal - 12/09/2019 at 10:03am |

Andrei was not banned for the classic scam, but for unreasonable selling practices that were not consistent with the spirit of this website, but also if you search for him you find he has a pretty bad history on forums devoted to some of his other interests where he buys and sells stuff.
