Today I had a message from the USA from a ‘buyer’ that wanted to buy 6 of my
sets.

When I looked at his feedback etc. I saw he has a red square 🟥 so too much NPB’s
in his case.
This is a buyer that tries to circumvents his unability of buying in the official
way.
So an untrustworthy buyer that tries to buy (scam?) in a different way.
Be aware!
If needed I can provide you the name of the buyer by PM.

So, the member card says USA. But how sure are you they are really in the USA
?

The only thing I can say he is from Georgia USA according to his account.
Also… there is 1 neutral feedback with the sentence: buyer is listed in Alaska,
with a New Jersey City and zip code.

He has 78 positive feedbacks, 1 neutral and 5 negatives that all look like completed
NPB’s.

So it looks like he is from the USA but we cannot be sure.

The most important thing is he is trying to circumvent the rules.

I am just wondering: if he opens a new account, is BL gonna catch it easily and
quickly and merge the two accounts?!
