NOTE: As most everyone knows ( or should ) I HATE scammers / crooks with a passion. I go out of my way to try and bust such people / users. I have been doing this for years and will continue to do it in the future. I have my helpers in this quest to rid the site of these "Bad" users.
I ( and others ) have been tracking Phil for some time. After a lot of investigating we are 99.9% sure that degreez / Raptor is just another alias of Phil Shortman. Phil has scammed a number of users here on the forums under the username of atcphil. We shut that username down so he couldn't gain access to forums. How ever he found away around it and signed up useing degreez as the username, which was later changed to Raptor. We were alerted to his "Real Identity" a while ago.
So from the information we have gathered I am issueing a Scammer WARNING for Phil Shortman!! He has used the following forum usernames: atcphil, degreez, and his latest Raptor here on the 3WheelerWorld forums. He has also used atvwarrior on 3wheeler.org. I will update this with any new usernames as needed.
In my honest opinion he can't be trusted at all.
So once again we have shut his username down. We are also doing everything we can to block his access to the forums. But since he got around one block we are sure he will do it again.
Why didn't I / we post about this sooner? Because we wanted to double check every bit of information we had to be sure. And with this information we are now 99.9% sure of his true identity.
What is the value of this Thread / Posting? This thread / posting is being made to let you know to be VERY CAREFUL in your dealings on the forums ( not only this web site but other web sites / forums as well ).
What can you do to protect yourself from being scammed like Phil has done? Use the Feedback forum. Search for feedback for the user. If the user don't have any feedback you can contact me directly or email Admins@3wheelerworld.com. We will try to help out as much as possible.
Who all is involved in identifying "Bad Users"? I am not willing to give out this information. Why not? Secruity Reasons, I want the other "Helpers" to be able to remain anyomous so we can keep a more watchful eye.
Thanks
