Dear Wetpixel members,

 

What follows is a list of people who have been uncovered as not being who they claim to be! 

 

We would strongly advise extreme caution if you are thinking of dealing with them.

 

Please feel free to contact me via PM if you have concerns about any individual. I have access to tools that I can use to verify people like IP address searches etc. that can help me make a decision.

 

Thank you!

Not a Wetpixel issue, but...

 

Watch out for a listing on Craigslist Newcastle UK for a Nikonos RS kit including 13mm fisheye.

 

He claims his name is Alexander Weiss. He did send additional requested pictures, so probably actually has the gear.

 

I foolishly sent a bank draft for $2200 Cdn and received nothing for my troubles. That was 8 months ago.

 

I see the listing is up again. The listing moves around Britain. It was in Glasgow when I first found it. I started a police investigation through the RCMP and Greenock police, but nothing has come up.

 

Caveat emptor!!

Hi all,

 

Thanks to some super sleuthing by sharp-eyed members of the Wetpixel community, I can confirm that the member known as "mrhenson" (mrhenson124@gmail.com) is a scammer.

 

He/she has now been deleted. 

 

If you had any dealings with him/her I would strongly recommend avoiding passing any money over in any form.

 

Thank you to those who spotted this and let us know...

Adam,

Thank you as I was just dealing with "Mrhenson" for a Nauticam CMC-2 wet lens. Had photos and price was fair.

I said that PayPal was my preferred payment method, but he would not use saying he had problems with PayPal.

He suggested a Walmart to Walmart payment plan.

As above, Caveat Emptor.

I also had a deal going with mrhenson. He sent me screen shots of his ebay feedback. I could tell it was totally fame as everything was well over $3000 that he supposedly sold. When I searched ebay for his user name it came up blank so I called ebay and informed them. I then asked him to list it on ebay snd I would give him $50 more and he gave me the cant use paypal right now speech. Thank you Adam for pming me about him
