What does a scammer look like? Well this is one. Someone started a conversation with me because I have a “wanted” post. Which is normal, but not the message itself. Screenshot below. Your spider sense shouldn’t be tingling, it should be screaming! One of my fellow colleagues already nuked him, unaware of the message I received from him. So there were other markers as well.

Read and learn:

Hello,



I recently purchase some items from mran, rev'it pant size XXL is among the items he's willing to part out with. You can email him at benvain11@gmail.com if he still have it available.

Hi all-I’m fairly new here but that post doesn’t even make sense…I would think real scammers would at least have decent grammar. Anyway, good to be vigilant. Thx for the heads up.
That will improve with AI

I am sure if you had posted "WANTED, numbers matching 57 Chevy" "mran" would have been parting one out.......

So, since mran shows to be an actual member last seen 11DEC22, have we contacted him? His postings seemed legit. Do we think he's part of the scam? Or does the assmonkey know that mran is no longer with us?

Good observation, Sierra1. He's been on here since he picked up his Super T in October of 2020. Someone may just be using his info, or who knows?

It's kinda morbid, but I wonder how many members we've lost to covid. Tenere riders for the most part, aren't the youngest kids on the block. (90% of all covid deaths were those over 50) So when I see members who haven't been on here sometimes for over a year, I wonder.

That, sir, is a sobering thought.

To Moderators - I believe a fraud attempt was made on my post in the Wanted section: looking for an Altrider Universal Joint Guard.

The member goes by Trevon-1 joined the site 6/13/2023 (how convenient) please search him and take him out !

Thanks to all who reported this person. Indeed a typical scammer. He was tried, found guilty and shot on the spot. This one had a good VPN, so no clue about his whereabouts. Most are crap.

Big thanks to all of you keeping this forum safe and pleasant!
