Default Scammer on the run

Scammer luke otaro if that’s his real name. Reached out to me about a prop I wanted. Fair price fair deal. Only would accept payment without buyer protection. I sent payment via pay pal with buyer protection and I covered his pay pal fees with alittle extra on top. He refused payment and gave a refund. Continued to Harass me a few more hours with calls/ texts..Trying to Schwindel me into paying him 1/2 then when I got the prop, To send him the rest… who refuses full payment when I send a few bucks extra to make sure the fee is covered? Googled the phone number and it is linked to multiple scams on OSO & scream and fly. Just hope to save someone from getting scammed…. 814-891-7011

I often send P.M to a wanted add if it is something that i have.
Less internet exposure means less chance of a scammer mimicking my profile.
Will most likely be posting some adds in the near future.
Old lady wants to move asap and I am losing my J.O.B. at the end of the year

I just got a PM from this guy that has scam written all over it.

https://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/.../fredliam.html

PM: "Hey I’ve got a friend who has a 6.3L 383 engine in really good shape. contact him via email [email protected]
or text him at 234-268-7581"

He's been here a couple days and has 10 post, all of which are gibberish on a single thread...
